Saw Mona Lisa Smile with my mom today. Yeah, my mom; we decided to have a mother-daughter day today. We both liked it. It was a little depressing for me though, as a feminist.

Funny story: my parents were on our city's website today (Bay Saint Louis yo) and when they clicked on the link to the Hancock County Chamber of Commerce, a porn site popped up. Apparently the guy that made the website didn't realize that the Chamber's website is hancockchamber.org, not .com.

I have to write this essay for the Ole Miss Honors College that asks something about what literary character resembles me the most. My problem is, I rarely read fiction. I always read nonfiction books. So I'm debating whether I should just be like, "Okay I read books about real people" or try to figure out some literary character that I resemble. Any ideas?

OMG: I just saw a commercial for the ESPNZone, and the Boston College Golden Eagle mascot was in it! Look for him in one of the first shots, I think he was with Stuart Scott.

Clay Aiken is going to be the musical guest on SNL next week. I am not looking forward to it. I *hate* that song "Invisible." First off, it's a stalker song. Have you listened to the lyrics? He says, "If I was invisible/ I would just watch you in your room." That is scary! Definitely a turn-off if you ask me. Also a turn-off: the improper usage of the subjunctive mood. Yeah, I'm a language freak. But I cringe every time he sings, "If I was." It's "If I were" dammit!

Wow, I'm watching SNL right now, and Jessica Simpson does a dead-on Britney Spears impression. The episode's been okay so far. The impressions on the American Idol sketch are good. And the two play old people well. It was also funny during the monologue when Nick Lachey's microphone didn't work. They covered well though.

One more thing: Everybody needs to give it up for Michelle Wie. She was excellent during the Sony Open, missing the cut by only one stroke and playing a terrific round on Friday (she shot a 72 and 68 over two days, leaving her at even). What makes this really wild is that she's a 14-year-old girl playing from the boys' tees. Here's a quote from ESPN: "The youngest player in the PGA Tour record books, Wie posted the lowest score ever by a female competing against the men." I think Michelle is going to be a great leader for women in sports, and I wish her all the best. Keep your grades up!
