So is anyone else upset at the rumored-romance between Jim from the office and Renee Zelweger? Because I am. He is my boyfriend. RUDE!
Anyways, also, if you have not had the chance to see Scar Jo perform her coochie dance on SNL last week. You totally should. Check it Out!
Okay, down to business. Firstly, feminist happenings around town this week. Tomorrow night is Take Back the Night at U of C. Friday night is a fun event at Early to Bed on Clark. It is a women-friendly, women-owned adult toy shop and is awesome. Chicago-NOW's Lesbian Right's Team is having an event there and everyone should go to support the 'moes. I feel like I can put that because I am gay-friendly. Anyways, the event is FREE. It's from 9pm-11pm. And there will also be a raffle. Ten percent of everything you buy will be given to Chicago-NOW. Oh, and there will be wine and cheese and quite possibly a folk singer. So if you want a new toy, want one for the first time, or just want to spend an evening outside of the bar scene...you should attend!
Let's see...tonight I have a meeting to plan Chocolate for Choice at Ethel's...is it sad that I am hoping I get a free piece of chocolate?! Then coffee with Mary, then home for Models (although it's just a clip show, but whatever), and then LOST! Only 4 episodes left y'all. And I found the Lost action figures at Virgin Records. Oh and shirts too. I sort of want a Driveshaft shirt, if it didn't have a picture of Charlie on it...it's not very mysterious that way.
And welcome back Heroes! So happy Peter P. did not bite it. Though am excited to see what the future will hold for them (literally). If only to hear Adrian Pasdar say "I'm the most special person in the world" or something equally bizarre because he apparently becomes POTUS. But how kick-ass is future Hiro! And regular Hiro is pretty awesome too!
Anywho, so MySpace. I'm addicted. I can't help it. It's like an open invitation to stalk people and be stalked. I mean it really is. I wonder if anyone is stalking me right now!
Jess made dinner last night. It was fabulous! I heart all things involving goat cheese and tomato sauce. Seriously. So delicious.
This weekend we finally get to see Aunt Sari et. al for Christmas in April! Can't wait!
Latah.

Women Are From Mars
First off, before I start going off on a tangent, because I have a feeling this post is going to be very ranty, I would just like to say Hi to T!!! Yay for T! T is awesome.
Now, onto my thoughts of the day. Right. So a friend of mine, we will call him "X," last week, sent me an email with a link to a YouTube video blog of a girl he went on a date with last summer. "Shells" the girl in the blog, who I have no problem putting her name on here since, well she has a YouTube video so all anonymity is out the window, anyways, has a rather campy, video blog of herself. Showing herself to sort of be, well that girl. And by that girl, I mean thinking she is dating a guy after one date, taking "He's Just Not that Into You" to heart, and basically husband hunting. So after much back-and-forth email with X, he seemed to think she was joking, but that sadly, he knew women like this. Basically, I think she is making this video as a joke to all those women out there just like this.
So, it got me thinking. Why is it that when a woman wants to settle down, she is deemed a freak and clingy and so on, but when a guy wants to, everyone is all like yeeeeah he is finally settling down and giving up his frat-boy partying ways, and everyone is all like throwing him a party? Why is it okay for a guy to want a girlfriend, but a girl who wants to find a nice guy or a boyfriend is deemed desperate? And where are these girls that act like this? None of my friends have ever taken off work just to get ready for a party. I mean seriously? Seriously. Not all women act like this, and frankly, I have yet to meet one who does, and if you do know someone like this, well then is it her fault? Or is it society's fault for making women think that there is something wrong with us if we are still single after age 25, 30, 35 and so on? And of course, now that I am re-reading this, this rant totally makes me sound desperate and pathetic. However, I perfer the terms empowered and independent! Womyn Unite! Ha.
I guess it all comes down to: Girls Rule. Boys Drool.
Yeah.

She Seems Sweet
Uh, yeah. Not much to report. Last night's episode of LOST (spoiler alert) was gooood!! I totally think that while Juliet may be working with Ben to do something to the Losties, that she totally has her own agenda. And that submarine is SO not the only way off the island. It can't be. I am still distracted by Claire's bangs whenever she appears on screen, but they are sort of growing on me too. I just re-read this paragraph and realized that if you don't watch Lost, then it probably sounds really not normal. Submarines? Losties? Yep.
Anyways, Models was good too. I feel like I have more favorites this season then usual. Renee, Dionne, Natasha, Britney, and Jaslene are my pics so far. I did like seeing the girls from last season. Joanie looked FIERCE! As did Michelle. That dark hair looks so much better than that bleached out thing she had on the show!!
And in very sad news...famed author Kurt Vonnegut passed away today. He was 84. And one of the greatest writers, well in my opinion. Very satirical and political and weird. But all in a good way. His books will live on for many generations to come. And if you haven't read any. You should. I wish I had his talent!

Get on the traaaaaain Fish...
One episode left in PB Season One! I can't wait for season two to come out on DVD so I can get all caught up for next year!! Anyways, only a few more hours until bread and missed connection! Obviously there will be more about that later. So to recap my weekend...Friday was cleaning and watching Wentworth give his best blue steel. Then Saturday I headed over to Wicker Park because Jess finally moved! I played with Rocco for a bit. He is so cute. The dog walker came over to meet him and was seriously obsessed! Then I left there and came home had some delicious K for P food and went to babysit the bestest baby ever....JOSHUA! Oh he is so cute! We had a fun time and did lots of high fives. And he totally tried to do Prison Break: Baby Version and break out of his crib. Too cute! Sunday I watched more PB, read, and did laundry. Very uneventful Easter Sunday haha. Although I did have a Cadbury Egg.
This weekend is back to the vet for Webs just to check his blood. Hopefully he will not try and bite the technician.
**24 Spoiler Alert**
I totally knew Audrey was going to be alive. And not just because Jess looked it up on IMDB and saw that Kim Raver was coming back circa 11:00pm, but because its 24. And if I learned anything from watching Alias...no one is every really dead. Right Irina? haha Anyways, so yeah, storyline A wrapped up quite nicely and now we must finish the day with a revengeful Jack in China, which better be awesome!! You hear me writers of 24? Awesome as in 24 season one Awesome. Too bad Tony is not around. Because Jack + Tony in China would rule.
Chow Main!

K For P
Happy Passover and Easter dear readers!!! I am so over Passover food and it is only day 2. Yuck. Oh well. And to make matters worse, I have a NOW meeting tonight at Cosi...so no bread for me. Sad. Well, its actually probably good since a sandwich there is so freaking expensive!
Anyways...recap of the weekend. Friday night I babysat for the bestest baby ever: JOSHUA! I tried to teach him how to high-five me but it didn't really work out, but I get to see him again Saturday so maybe we will work on that...as long as his parents approve! :) Then came home and started watching Prison Break season one....OMG how did I not watch this show before? Aside from Wentworth Miller being deliciously hot in every scene, especially shirtless in the shower, it is so good! And even though I know that they get out eventually, I still hold my breath in every episode! Then Saturday ran some errands, watched some more PB, and then it was JAMIE time!!! J and her fabulous sister picked me up and we met up with CS at Hot Chocolate. It was delicious. My hot chocolate had hot fudge in the bottom. Hot fudge. In the bottom. I mean really, what is better than that!! The other girls had normal desserts...I got some cheese to go with my hc because I always need something salty to balance out the sweet. But it was seriously so good! I want to try brunch there sometime. Oh, and Mindy Siegal (the owner) makes her own marshmellows and they are amazing. Just an FYI, make a reservation if you go on a weekend. We sat in the lounge, which was fine, the tables are teeny though and the plates were large, so it was a balancing act.
Moving on...Sunday did laundry then headed to the suburbs with my sister and went to a Weekenders thing. I got a black skirt that can also be worn as a cute strapless dress. Who doesn't love two outfits in one!!
Mon/Tues had Passover Seders galore. Thanks to T and my sister for carting my arse all over the suburbs. Tonight, NOW meeting/Models/Lost, tomorrow choice team meeting and dinner with Britta hopefully. Friday relaxin with some PB and my sister and then Saturday...JESS MOVES TO THE CITY!! Yahoooooo! I will be helping with the move by keep Rocco out of the way! And then Saturday night is babysitting, and I am guessing more PB. Seriously. So good. So.Good.
So, is it weird that I am happy that Lindsey Lohan and Hilary Duff are becoming friends? And also, HD's song? With Love? Is so catchy! It sort of reminds me of Kylie. Also, I am obsessed with British pop star Mika. The song Lollipop? LOVES IT!!!
Okay, back to work people!!
Later gators.
