You and I Defying Gravity...

So with a little bit of my holiday bonus, I am treating myself to Wicked tickets. And I need to make a NY resolution to go and see more plays.

I am trying to move my blog over to Uber, however, I have zero clue on how to actually do that.

I covet everything Blair Waldorf wears on Gossip Girl. And I want to be Gossip Girl. I know, I have said that like 47 times.

LoveStoned

Hello! Okay so...happy almost Thanksgiving everyone!! To catch you up to speed...hmmm well I went and got Indian food with B &W on Saturday night at Indian Grill. It was delicious. Oh and I started reading Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice. It is sooo good!! I can't wait to read the others in the series. Seriously, she is so good with the sucking you into the story! My plan is to read more tonight after my online chat for my copy editing class. Other then that...not much else going on up in here. haha

TV recap...PB is on hiatus until January. Heroes was fantastic last night! I love when they advance plot lines in a good direction! And I can't wait until Hiro and Kensai/Adam/Sark meet face-to-face in the future. I wonder if Kansai will remember him? It should be interesting! And I hope it happens!!

Gossip Girl? Loves it. I love the love connection between Chuck and Blair. Hawt. And I want all their clothes. I can't say it enough. haha

Models...eh. DSM...eh. Project Runway...obviously awesome!!

Right so...here ya go:

16. I love potato chips. And Dorritos. They are my weakness. My favorite chip flavor is salt and vinegar. And sour cream and onion.

17. I love shopping. I actually think I have a shopping problem.

18. I love pajamas. As part of my shopping problem, I have a weakness for buying pajamas. I love bing comfy!!

19. I really like fried chicken.

20. I like cold weather. (yes I know in a few weeks I will be bitching about the cold) By cold I mean like 30s-40s. Not like -2!

Alrighty, well now I totally want chicken fingers haha. And onion rings. Oy.

ttfn.

Stop right now thank you very much...

I kind of wish I could have gone to the Victoria's Secret fashion show featuring the Spice Girls. Guess I will have to settle for when it comes on tv in December!

Anyways...I am slightly behind in tv so I will use tonight to catch up! I for sure need to watch Ugly Betty and I might do a re-watch of The Office, if only to see Kelly talking smack (she doesn't trash talk, duh) because it was hysterical. And I still need to finish Models even though I know who gets kicked off. One thing I don't understand, Tyra always stresses that these girls need to be able to speak properly in front of a camera. And outside of those "My Life as a Covergirl" things, do they really? Can't the ones that are good at the public speaking take the route of spokesperson while the not-so-good-at it people can just do photos? I mean wouldn't it make sense that just because you are a model you don't necessarily have to be a good public speaker? Wow, I am just reading way to much into this show.

Moving on...tomorrow I am meeting with Amy and Doug and Nick and Becca (my cousins and their kids) for the Disney Festival of Lights (is that actually what its called?) on Michigan Ave. They are already setting up for it! Hopefully the weather will be nice (no rain) otherwise we can watch from my office since my building is right on the mag mile! I have never been, but have seen it on tv, so I am kind of excited!! And then next week is Thanksgiving! I need to start holiday shopping soon as Hanukkah starts in like 18 days! Oh and if any of you happen to talk to my dad...please reiterate the fact that I want Jersey Boy tickets. Thanks!

Oh, and one other quick random thing. So I read some statement that Kim K. made about being in Playboy and all that...and how she is a good role model because she isn't s skinny blonde--that she has a normal body. And aside from the sex tape scandal, which she probably wouldn't be labeled a "whore" in so many gossip forums, but anyways, my point is, possible pee-ing on scene aside, I think she has a point. Granted, she didn't really need to pose in PB to get this point across, but when I see pictures of her and I have to admit I watched the show once, she seems relatively normal, and isn't a bobblehead. Plus, when ever I do see pictures of her, save for a few outfits, she looks good, even in her Juicy sweats. So yeah, I know random. But to Kim K. and the rest of the curvy women out there...Yay for curves. I have them too. And a booty! haha

Alrighty, I think I will continue the fun facts tomorrow. Or maybe later tonight in between tv watching and the like. I may get Thai food for dinner. Hmmmm I think I will. Some Tom Yum soup would be delicious.

Chow!

Do you want a piece of me?

Sup y'all? Yeah, not really sure why I just wrote that either. So tonight after work I am interviewing (with KJ) three possible board candidates for NOW! And on Monday MS and MP interviewed two others. Five people so far is good...but we need more! So if anyone is interested then let me know. The entire board is all volunteer-based, FYI.

New season of Project Runway starts tonight!!! I am playing the Fafarazzi game...if you get the highest points for the week you get a free DVD! Oh how I have missed Tim Gunn. And even Nina Garcia a little bit (fashion director of Elle magazine). And of course Heidi. Who, I mean, did she really learn how to change a diaper from our own Miss Britney? Did she really not know that the sticky things were for fastening the diaper and there was no need to tie string around it? I mean did no one show her this? Not one member of her family or entourage? Weird.

Anywho...fact time!

11. I am late for work every day, but always stay late to make up for it. Funny enough, I used to be really good at waking up early, back in the day.

12. I never got passed "Advanced Beginners" in swim lessons when I was younger because I couldn't do the Elementary Backstroke right, and yes I can do the regular backstroke, just not the elementary. It was actually really frustrating. Actually I think I may have passed in my final year at day camp. But then I was stuck on the breast stroke. Too many things going on at once but they can't all happen at once. Oy. Clearly, I was not meant to be a swimmer.

13. I am still bitter that I was not cast as Miss Adelaide in my high school's production of Guys and Dolls. I would have owned that roll. And I still don't buy the excuse my jailbird ex-choir director gave me that it was because the other two girls (it was double cast) had similar body sizes for costume reasons. Its high school dude. Not my fault I didn't want a piece of your pie. And yes, that was meant to be as dirty as it sounds. And yes, he is really in jail. And yes, I know I need to get over it. But I was 17 and in looooove with the theater! Sometimes things like that stick.

14. I loved staying home on Saturday nights when I was younger to watch tv. The line up was great. I think it started with Alf and ended with Empty Nest.

15. My first tv boyfriend was one of the actors (Blake Sennett) on that Nickelodeon show Salute Your Shorts. He then went on to play "Joey the Rat" on Boy Meets World. And is now in the band Rilo Kiley (guitar and vocals).

Gossip Girl and Models tonight! Whoo!

Laterz.

Ice Ice Baby

So some more funtabulous facts about your blogger coming shortly, well at the end of this post really. In television news, I have not yet seen PB from last night, but look forward to getting my Wentworth fix this evening. Heroes was good...I heart Sark, well Adam as he is now named. Bring on the HoYay with Adam and Peter P. Yum! And not sure how I feel about Kristen Bell's character yet.

The Hills? Oy. So are Heidi and Lauren just acting? Are they secretly friends? Come on someone close to the pair has got to know this info!

And apparently Owen Wilson is not dating Jessica Simpson, but a model named Le (pronounced LEE, but who needs the other E) so really her name means "the" en Francaise. But she's American or so claims this LiveJournal.

Okay, so more facts:

6. I hate when people hover over me on the bus if I am sitting in an end seat. Fine if the bus is crowded, but if not, please do not invade my personal space when there is room for you to not stand on top of me.

7. I love all things related to the Disney channel. Well not all things, but most things.

8. I wish I was a Broadway superstar diva. And if so, I would star in such old productions:
Grease as Marty
Les Mis as Fantine
Rent as Maureen
Guys and Dolls as Miss Adelaide
Chicago as Roxie Hart
Hairspray as Penny Pinkerton
And then of course anything new. And I would be friends with both Idina Menzel and Patti LuPone. Obviously.

9. I love singing show tunes in the shower, clearly as I love Broadway. My favorite is "Can't Help Lovin that Man of Mine."

10. I wish I could cook.



Kisses!!

New Beginnings

Well I tried to change my blog cuz I was getting sick of the Wonder Woman thang. I wish there was more colors and fonts to choose from though. I'm sure that there is, I am just not so on the up-and-up with the tech stuff. So if anyone has any pointers, please share!

How do we feel about the purple?

Woops!

The Office was new last night! And Ugly Betty was hilarious. Amanda singing "Milkshake" was priceless. Oh and Marc's "It's so fancy Armani is wearing Prada," was pretty damn hilarious.

Thursday, November 08, 2007

There is no new office tonight because of the strike...

I am sad about that. BUT obviously I support my fellow writers. I want to be in the Writers Guild. How does one go about getting into that? Is it like the Screen Actors Guild? Like would I get my WAG card? Anyways, five things about me...here we go!

1. I only like vanilla and chocolate flavored yogurt. Occasionally I will eat cherry, as long as cheesecake is involved in the title. And I don't like it when it has the fruit in it.

2. I love all things lotion and bath and lip gloss related. It's a problem, but at least I can admit it.

3. I put ranch dressing on everything. Such as grilled cheese (seriously its delicious), potato chips, and pizza.

4. I know all the 50 states in alphabetical order. I have known this since we learned the Fifty Nifty United States song in third grade.

5. My favorite fictional character from a children/preteen book is Stacy McGill from The Babysitter's Club. She was awesome, or is awesome...I think those books are still being written. I used to try and mimic her handwriting (remember how the beginning of each chapter was an excerpt from the girls) except for the big dots (or hearts?) over the i's. That never took.


Okay, well if I can get my act together, then maybe I will actually put some more things about myself for the next few posts.

I am excited for Ugly Betty tonight...Posh invades Mode as Wili's maid-of-honor. Should be fun!

The Facts of Life

Yo. So in honor of me joining a site where you can list your blog...although I have been slacking on the writing everyday for a month thing...woops! Well, now I am back in the swing of things. Anywho, I decided that just in case I get some new readers, I should do a little "learn about your blogger." So every day I will post a few things about myself. Okay, well maybe not every day, but frequently.

So starting tomorrow...I will share a few things about myself! Along with some other words of wisdom. And D.Ro agrees that Shia LB is hot. Thank you.

Night!

Nobodies perfect I gotta work it...

Is it weird that I think that Shia LeBeouf is totally hot?

"I'm going to make you a mix tape..."

Not going to lie. I really like Britney's new album. So far Toy Soldier and Radar are my two favorites for the week. I had like a 10 minute convo at Starbucks with one of the Baristas on how we both went and got it (well I downloaded) it on Tuesday when it came out. haha

Soooo happy belated Halloween. I celebrated last weekend and went as a mish-mash of Mary-Kate Olsen, Lindsay Lohan, and Britney. Seriously...how great....And don't worry the cigarette is candy! Smoking is gross! Jess is in the pic with me as the hot angel of death!
Anyways...so then last night Toby and I ate pizza and had cupcakes by Toby (that were quite delicious) and watched The Exorcist. But it was like remastered so it had some extra scenes and stuff. I kind of want to see that movie Saw. But not by myself.

kisses!!
