Things We Like: Small Hiatus, LONG Post

As a few of you know, my laptop was recently knocked to the ground by a crazed law student. Well, kind of. Not really. Okay, fine, someone accidentally knocked it and completely did not mean to do it. And, no, that "someone" is not me.

Point is, today I have to send my baby in for repairs, and that means I will be without Internet communication for approximately 2 weeks. It's going to be tough, like breaking an addiction, but what can you do. And actually, I will still have Internet when I go to work, and if I decide that I can't bear to be without it I could always drive to school and use the computers there...but most likely, if there is posting here, it will be done at work.

So in lieu my absence for the upcoming week or two, I leave you a few things.

1.

Barack Obama doing Letterman's Top 10.

And to be fair, Hilary Clinton's Top 10 from last year.

This is probably old news to a lot of people now, but just in case y'all haven't read about it yet, you should. Louis Vuitton is suing a Darfur Fundraiser for Copyright Infringement. You heard me. This is the picture in controversy:

To find out more or to support the artist's cause, go to Nadia Plesner's fundraiser for Darfur.

And on a lighter note, The Met's Costume Institute Ball was last night, and the theme was Superheroes. I wish someone would have invited Stan Lee - that would have been HILARIOUS. Anyways, this is my favorite photo so far.

Partially because of the hot dress and hot pink heels and hot pink manicure, but also partially because Pacey is standing so dutifully in the back waiting for his woman to finish taking her hot pictures. LOVE IT. If I were a superhero, I'd wear a short dress and sexy shoes, too.

Are you sick of this post yet?!

Me too.

See you on the other side!

WAIT LAST THING I SWEAR!

Remember the feud between Rain and Stephen Colbert?
