Wednesday

Is it hump day already? Why yes, it is. Thank goodness for urbandictionary.com. I am not a hip person, maybe hep, but not hip. So like other mere mortals, I resort to learning about life through urbandictionary.com. What is hump day for those less hep than even moi? Well, the traditional definition of "hump day" is as follows:

1.	hump day
	The middle of a work week (Wednesday); used in the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week.

But I prefer the alternative definition.

6. hump day wednesday, being at the center of the work week. makes an ideal day for humping to break up the tedium of the week. people love to hump, and hump day is the second best part of the week for humping, the best part being the weekend.

Of course, I've been trying to spread the label "shag day" as in ... woohoo! Wednesday! Guess what day it is?!? Shag day!!! But I wasn't the originator of that idea, really. I got it from the 1998 movie Sliding Doors. When Helen (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) arrives home to find her boyfriend Gerry just getting out of bed, he calls out to find out who it is. She replies, "No, it's your bit of stuff. Wednesday, Shag Day, remember?" It's odd what random bits of dialog or thoughts stick with you. It's a lovely movie overall really. In one split second, the life of the main character takes two completely different directions. If she makes the train, a series of events unfold that leads to self-awareness, breaking up with Gerry, meeting a new man, and opening herself up to possibilities and change. If she doesn't make the train, a different series of events unfold which shows Helen stays in a relationship with a cheating Gerry, takes on menial jobs to support the two of them, while wanking Gerry knocks up another girl. Makes you wonder about the choices you make throughout the course of each day.  

Well, anyhoo... It's Wednesday. Enjoy today!

I haven't seen such camaraderie since I was in the Foreign Legion. Unless of course you include...
...the other night with Georgie. (sigh) 

Malibu

So tonight I will be attending a charity event with Malibu Rum and Reef Check to raise awareness for Reef Check’s mission of protecting coral reef’s worldwide. Anna Faris is also behind this somehow and I plan to get to the bottom of this... or at least the bottom of a glass of mojitos.

Post script:

So that was fun. Dr. Hodgson spoke a little bit about Reef Check and the new internship program that is being offered to 10 eligible students to study and monitor coral reef health in Thailand, the Maldives or the Philippines. Anna Faris then thanked everyone for coming and then said, "Let's do shots." Other celebrity notables included Sendhil Ramamurthy (Heroes), Scott Krinsky (Chuck) as well as AVP athletes Todd Rogers, Phil Dalhausser, April Ross, Jen Kessy, Sean Scott and John Hyden.

I swear my six year old thinks he's Gilbert Gottfried.

The voice. The annoying attitude. I think you should take him out back and put him out of your misery.

Shaq Vs.

After a nailbiting match-up with Phil/Todd vs. Sean/John in the finals of AVP Hermosa, the court in the stadium underwent a transformation for the filming of the new reality TV show Shaq Vs. Episode 2 this season which will air August 25th on ABC at 9 p.m. ET will feature Shaq Vs. Misty May-Treanor/Kerri Walsh in beach volleyball. Shaq paired up with Todd Rogers in the back court and it was pretty hysterical to see someone that big move that quickly in the sand. If Shaq lost, he would wear pink speedos up and down the beach! Other match-ups include Shaq Vs. Michael Phelps, Shaq Vs. Oscar De La Hoya, and Shaq Vs. Serena Williams.

It was a sight to behold, so tune-in on August 25th.

I enjoy wine, I'll have to admit, but I am not in love with the stuff. I'll usually enjoy a few glasses...

...of hotdog juice straight up.
