So, as many of you know, I love Google. I use it at least three times daily. It is the most wonderful thing ever, behind TiVo, magic bullets, and eating out without a baby, but none of those wonderful things are the focus of this particular blog.
My ex-boss sent an e-mail out earlier this year about this new-fangled thing called a search engine and we all made fun of him, but I am truly a Google aficionado.
Last night Curtis and I watched the snoozefest that was the 81st annual Academy Awards. During Queen Latifah's "In Memoriam," we noticed the absence of Heath Ledger, and this led to a debate as to why he wasn't included in this year's telecast. To determine the answer, I went to my trusty pal Google, and I was not disappointed. Heath died on January 22, 2008, and his memoriam was during last year's telecast, although with his nomination and eventual win, you think they could have shown him again this year, but I digress.
Since I was on Google, I asked Curtis was there anything else I needed to research, and then I remembered a long-standing debate we have had about which lame-ass balladeer, Michael Bolton or Bryan Adams, had penned songs for Kiss. Naturally I was right! Thanks Google!
Then he said, "Quit making things up. Next thing you'll tell me George Washington wasn't the first president of the United States." Twenty-five million hits in .45 seconds and viola. Google you rock my face off!
Next he challenged me to find something anything about President Barack Obamba ( a clever play on my favorite 50s' Latino hit performed by dreamboat Lou Diamond Phillips in the movie version of Ritchie Valens's life and tragic death). I had called him Obamba on purpose as a joke, but lo and behold, "Obamba!" Viva la Google!
Inside joke now, we were talking about spicy Mexican taint on Saturday, and no, I don't remember what started the conversation or why, but he said I would never find anything about that, not even on the juggernaut that is Google. Puh-lease! Give me a real challenge.
But do yourselves a favor, okay? Stay away from Mexican subways! Google, I wanna make out with you!
Then Sean Penn won the Oscar for Best Actor, and I thought to myself, "Damn! Is he ever going to shut up?" Naturally, this begs the question can anyone shut Sean Penn up? Apparently this is crazy popular on Google. Shut up already, dude!
In conclusion, Google is the best thing ever, and if it were a person, I'd totally marry it. Thank you Google for making my life better, and just more fun!

haha, I love it. google is amazing. seriously, amazing. I use it so many times a day...I'm not sure what I, or anyone else, did before this wonderful internet search engine. I would probably cat fight you over Google if it were a person.
Lovesit. Google "Katie Needs" (dumb Facebook/Myspace survey crap) and see what kind of awesomeness is in store for you.
P.S. When the heck are we going to get together? I see y'all coming over for dinner and board games in our near future. Guest room: free of charge. Holler!
