Reese Witherspoon Rocks

I rarely watch movie awards, especially the MTV Movie Awards because frankly, it’s a pile of trash and in the words of a friend, should be renamed “The Twilight Awards.”

But I happened to be working and being the massive multi-tasker that I am, I switch on the old television for…”research purposes.”

After sticking through hours of penis jokes (that aren’t funny) and watching Robert Pattinson make a total fool out of himself (as if playing an emo pale-faced bloodsucker wasn’t foolish enough), I stumbled across a gem of a speech Reese Witherspoon gave upon accepting her Generation Award.

“I just want to say to all the girls out there, I know it’s cool to be bad, I get it,” she said. “But it’s also possible to make it in Hollywood without a reality show! When I came up in this business, if you had a sex tape, you were embarrassed and you hid it under your bed. And if you take naked pictures of yourself with your cell phone, you hide your face!” Witherspoon ends with a smiling, “It’s possible to be a good girl. I’m gonna try to make it cool!”

I think you’re cool, Reese!

Lessons from an Old Person

Yesterday, our youngest cousin from my mom’s side graduated from high school.

The baby of the family by far, he was the one we doted on, pinched the cute pudgy cheeks of, spoiled rotten, coddled, eventually abandoned and neglected when we got busy with our own lives. (Sorry Chung for forgetting to pick you up that one time… or feed you that other time… or going to Morongo when you wanted to spend time with us that one last time… ) My cousin’s graduation really put into perspective the past couple of years that have passed since my own high school graduation. Dude–I’m so old I graduated 1.5 times already! (Wait…did I? My math was never that good, readers, help.)
