World's Greatest Blog?

I just noticed that the tagline on our blog says something about this being the world's greatest blog. I'm quite certain that that must have been a typo, seeing as how our content is somewhat dry and we haven't posted in quite some time. Our deepest apologies to all of our loyal readers.

Mostly the only reason we haven't written lately is we are just busy thinking of ridiculously awesome posts for the future. And also, college is the worst invention ever. Apparently professors just don't understand that some of us have more important things to do - like write blog posts about random things that no one actually cares about.

Also, if anyone has sweet hookups in Scotland (ie a house to live in and/or a job to work at) please let us know. We're moving there for the summer...and I'd sort of prefer having a roof over my head than live in a cardboard box.

!Exclusive!

When you woke up this morning you didn't even know what a treat you had in store. Last weekend I had an exclusive interview with Andrea Sudbury. She sat down with me for a minute to answer a few questions I worked up. Below is the transcription of the interview. 


Brooke: If you had to pick an animal to represent yourself, what would it be?

Andrea: Uh. A fox. I feel that I am quite foxy. That was mostly a joke. I like orangutans. They’re orange.


What would you say is the best color of Jello?

Red. Because I like the red jello with berries and stuff in it. So I like the flavor of it.


So what are the odds that you would write-in Oprah for the upcoming election?

Not that good. I’m not voting. If I was voting, probably not that good.


So what can you tell us about your new perfume line?

My new perfume line is called El Belle, because belle means beauty. It’s a mixture of Latino and French origins. I feel that it really represents what’s deep inside of me. 

So, like, your heritage and beliefs?

No, because beauty is what I am. 


Pirate or ninja?

Pirate.


Ok, so, would you like to tell us about your work on Oceans 11 and 13, and there are rumors floating around about why you weren’t involved in the Oceans 12 movie? Oh, and also, what was it like to work with George Clooney and Brad Pitt?

Whoa, ok, you're really overwhelming me with all of these questions.

Sorry, just answer one at a time.

Well, the reason I wasn’t in 12 was because I was working with an agency, whose name cannot be disclosed. And that is all. 

So you weren’t pregnant?

I cant say. Do I look like I’ve been pregnant? 

And working with Clooney was just a dream come true. It’s always been a dream of mine. 

I see. Does he like red jello? 

No, he likes blue actually. 


So what do you attribute your success to? What has been a big influence in your life?

Well, this one time in elementary school I had a second grade teacher and she really told me I could be whatever I wanted to be and I took it to heart and and just went after my dreams.

Do you remember her name? 

Her name was Mrs. Waldendwarf. She was quite dwarfly. I think that’s what led her to tell me to always pursue my dreams because her talents were in short supply. 

Pun?

Yes. 


So you just finished your autobiography. Will you tell us a little about that? Some detail-age...

Well, I don’t know if you’re aware, but my autobiography is about me. 

So mostly it’s just about me and what I do and myself in general. It’s really cool. Like, REALLY cool. Very interesting. 


This is the last portion of our interview with the one and only Andrea Sudbury, so we’re going to do a bit of word association. I'll say a word and you say the first word that pops into your mind. It's got to be quick. Spew. Throw it out there.

A Gem of a Post

Would you rather watch a continuous 24-hour loop of the State of the Union address, or the Gem Shopping Network?

Brooke's Answer: Gem Shopping Network (and that has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a closet Shopping Network fan) And I'll be honest-- I'm a little politicked out.

Merrit's Answer: State of the Union address for me. Something about the empty promises and repeating the same thing over and over just really draws me in.
