someone texted me tonight saying i looked like the diver chris colwill. i didn’t believe her until i went online and watched a video of him, it was like looking in the mirror. watch the video on that link, it is scary.

i only wish i could dive that well.

facebook wall to wall re: spencer

  • Jennifer: hah. if epic means revolting and terrible.. then yeah, he won well over 200 points. i was real disappointed too though, it was pretty lame... hopefully the producers wrote better scripts for next week's episode! :)
  • Sam: um. what do you mean producers. IT'S A REALITY SHOW. producers... psh.
  • Sam: wait, how you can say spencer is revolting and terrible? that guy is a role model to every young man in america, finally a man that knows how to treat women.
  • Jennifer: i know i know. spencer and heidi always say it's scripted though, because they're ashamed about being so ridiculous all of the time
  • Jennifer: HAHA spencer and his creepy fleshcolored beard? yeah he is great. sometimes i actually kind of wish i was heidi

the hills season premiere

i’ve been a fan of the hills since it began a few years ago, and tonight marked the beginning of season 4. i’ve watched lc since laguna beach came out in 2004 on mtv.

it was only in the last few months that i became a big fan of the hills though - the show went from good to great with the addition of spencer pratt. i dream of one day becoming half the man that he is.

he gained over 200 epic points in tonight’s episode, even though the episode was completely worthless. the best thing about spencer is the endless amount of sarcastic remarks that he comes up with, so full of win. and i am glad that he’s still dating heidi, they definitely deserve eachother (as you will read in the gawker comments about the show).

anyways, though the first episode was a complete letdown, spencer pratt made it up with all 2 minutes of face time he got. hopefully he’ll get more the rest of the season…


  • Heidi: Just... try to be nice
  • Spencer: That's my middle name

I was jumping off some rocks this weekend and remembered that Sarah Lacy had this little contest/promotion going where you could win a free t-shirt if you yelled “once you’re lucky twice you’re good” while jumping off of something. So I had my mom record me on my cell phone (I know, terrible quality) and sent it to Vimeo. So I sent it to Sarah and she wrote it up! And now I get a free t-shirt.

What a productive weekend!
