I'm the only sour cherry on your fruit stand...

I was playing around on Kitson's Web site and low and behold they are now selling (re-selling?) Member's Only jackets. For $145. I am totally pissed because last year I found a lime green one at Land of the Lost and totally should have bought it since it was like $20. And also, when these jackets were first in style, my sister and I had matching magenta ones by the way, there was no way that were that pricey. I mean my whole family had one, and no way would my parents spend that on one jacket for their elementary and middle school aged children. I get that times have changes and the economy is different (although weren't we in a recession back in the 80s too?) but really, why are they $145?! Why can't they sell for what they used to cost. At Burlington Coat Factory. And Kohls.

So anyways, I decided in the spirit of re-doing my bedroom bedding, I also am going to make over my bathroom. I'm thinking deep, rich colors. I need to go to World Market. I love that place.

And after my sister's wedding, and once the weather cools off, I am totally going to start going on mini-adventures so I have something interesting to write about. Either by myself or with people. So if anyone has any cool places they think I should visit...let me know! I think my first one might be going to the Alley and Medusa's Circle to try on corsets and fun platform shoes. And pleather pants. And take pictures. Funny ones. Not pervy. Who's with me?! Britta...I think you should come for a visit so you can accompany me! :)

Song of the moment: "About a Girl," The Academy Is


My guess for top 2: Katee and Chelsie or Katee and Joshua.

I Wear my Sunglasses at Night

I bought the sunglasses! But I got them from Forever 21 instead since they were way cheaper. So for those of you also interested in buying yourself a pair, they have them in red and white. I got them in white. And if you are confused as to what I am talking about, see the below image in the previous post.

I started reading my next book club book, which is 'Twilight' by Stephanie Meyer. I really like it so far. It is actually a young adult novel, but it sort of has that Harry Potter-type read in that it can appeal to a larger audience then the one it's intended. But yeah, it's good and really interesting. I recommend it.

Project Runway, Shear Genius, and SYTYCD are all tonight! Woo!

This is a short post. Sorry!

Pocket Full of Sunshine

Okay, so am I too old to get heart-shaped sunglasses? Because I want them. In white. Here are what they look like in red:



They are $13 from PopKiller. I need to link that site. It's way cool. And yes, I just said way cool.

I finally saw The Dark Knight. I thought it was really good. And Heath Ledger was great as the Joker. It was sad to watch him though. Then Mike and I went to Chilis. I think this weekend we are going to watch Batman Begins because I have never seen that one. So another Batman weekend for me coming up. And babysitting both Thursday and Saturday.

My top songs in rotation on my Ipod...feel free to make fun of me:
1. Burnin Up, The Jonas Brothers
2. Sour Cherry, The Kills
3. Voyage Voyage, Kate Ryan
4. Johnny Winter, The Van Jets
5. 7 Things, Miley Cyrus

I am sure that will change in a few days though.

My top shows of the summer:
1. Swingtown
2. Project Runway
3. SYTYCD
4. The Hills (Aug. 14th people!!)
5. Shear Genius

I'm into writing out lists these days.

Alrighty, well let me know if it's okay to get those sunglasses.

Oh yo oh yo....catch this...

OMG(omguguys!) seeing 'Pretty Woman' on the big screen was so great. I went to see a screening of it last night at Century. Melissa had tickets because the S Factor was doing their first Girl's Night. It was so fun. Her brother's gf also came as did KJ. They had a raffle before to win classes or parties at the studio, but I didn't win. I wish it just wasn't so durn expensive to take classes there! But yeah, I totally forgot how much I LOVE that movie, even if I own it. Plus I feel like there were some extended scenes I had never seen before. Such as Vivian taking Edward to the Blue Banana to find Kit and then before they leave, one of the drug dealers tells Viv she owes him $200 and Edward totally threatens him. Unless of course, I just don't remember that part. Also, the part with the snails still makes me laugh every time. As does the "cinder-fucking-rella" line.

Tonight S&M are coming over with their cat because I am cat sitting in two weeks, and we want to make sure Bas and Cashie get along. I have a feeling Basil will totally want to play but Cash will want none of it. I better tell B to behave himself! :) Tomorrow night Mike and I are going to din din with Jess and Tim to this Cuban place called Cafe Bolero. I read the menu and everything sounds delicious, even though I would never eat half the things on the menu, they still sound good. Saturday is my sister's shower and then Sunday, I think I'm going to my sister's. Not sure. So busy weekend coming up!

I ordered a really cute gladiator sandals from Old Navy, and I am really excited about them. Although, if I was famous, I am sure that Heather and Jessica would totally Fug me as they don't like the kind that go up your ankles.

Next Thursday I start my new weekly babysitting job! I am meeting the family tomorrow after work!

If you text it I'll delete it...

So I finally get a comment to work on my other blog and it's totally from some gross teenage porn site. They didn't agree with what I wrote about teenagers posing in suggestive poses (big shock since their Web site is devoted to nekked teens) but that I have an interesting POV. I emailed the people over at today.com to see what the deal is with comments, since I did a test one and I know my sister posted a few and nothing is showing up.

Anyways, I saw a sneak peek at what is coming up on the next season of The Hills...and I can't wait to see what Audrina's "I don't caaaare" statement to Lo is in relation too! And Stephanie Pratt and Lauren get into an altercation over some boy that both Lauren and the She-Pratt seem to like and date. I just hope that Lauren also blames the boy in this situation. August 14 people. Woo!

Today at lunch I went over to the NOW office to get some info in order to re-establish our Ed Fund. Looking through all the old files was actually pretty fun. I found 20-year-old clippings about Gays in the Military and why they should or should not be allowed to joins, old clippings about the PRIDE parade, and all the agendas and minutes from like the last 15 years. When I have more time, I think I want to go back and look at the stuff more carefully. It reminds me of how much I loved looking at my sorority's old photo albums. And I am still a little sad that they painted over all the stuff in our basement. I liked seeing the paintings and names of former Phi's. :)

So yeah...a little disappointed that Autumn was not cast as the next Elle Woods on Broadway, she has such an amazing voice I wish her all the luck and hope she gets some awesome parts from this. I do think that with some work Bailey will be good. She really does embody the part, I just hope she can convey all the right emotions during some other the less peppy numbers.

Alrighty, more later. Sorry about the lack of updates. It's hard having two blogs!

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot...

I think I may have used this title before. Anywho, Legally Blonde The Musical: The Search for the Next Elle Woods. Um, how in holy Hell is Rhiannan still in the mix? I am sure she is probably a super sweet girl...and does have that spunk, but Emma and Natalie were WAY better singers/dancers IMO. I am happy that Autumn is still in though and was a little pissed when Bernie Telsey said she wasn't really a leading lady. Okay, maybe not for this cheese-fest of a musical, but I could totally see her rocking Eponine in Les Miz. I mean really. And Baily? Eh, I get that she looks like "Elle" but for me, she just doesn't have it. I am excited that Lauren is going to be Margot in the tour though...I am for sure seeing it when it comes here. I mean, yes, it's cheesy but whatever. It will be a fun show to see.

I do hope that the bring South Pacific to Chicago.

So yeah, I have to go pick up Webster's ashes today after work. So sad. :( I miss him so much. I bet Basil and Webs would have been the best of friends.

Hey, you're too funky for me...

HelloHello! So let's see...this weekend was pretty chill. Friday night I caught up on Swingtown and other shows. My sister came over for a nano-second and I read for a little bit. Saturday my sister came over again and hung out with Bas for a bit while I was at the doctor. Then I came home and she had left (with Todd) for the Cub's game...and I watched more Arrested Development, napped, and read. And yesterday...I FINALLY finished Gone with the Wind. OMG (OMGUguys!) It was soo good. And yes, I am aware that everyone else has read it, but whatever. I want to read it again. Ha. And see the movie. I am kind of curious to see how the follow up book did, although it was written by someone else, so not sure about it. If anyone has actually read it, let me know your thoughts.

Anyways, also, I finished season 1 of Arrested Development. How I never got into this show when it was on the first time is beyond me. It is so freaking hilarious. I can't wait to watch more tonight...it will be my reward after I call all these people I went to HS with to get their e-mail addresses so we can send out an Evite for the reunion. That I'm only 50% sure I am going to! haha

Tonight after work I am running over to Alfred's to pick up my newly altered bridesmaid dress and then home. And maybe to Unabridged to get Twilight and a new planner. I also want to go over to American Apparel but I'm not as I need to save money! I went in the other day and saw so much stuff that I want! Ugh! Oh well.

Tomorrow is the All Star game...not that I actually care since my boy Mark DeRosa is no parts on the team RUDE! Wednesday is Amanda's for some reunion planning stuff and then Thursday is the monthly NOW meeting. This weekend is Amanda's wedding part 3.

Alrighty, don't forget to be readin my other blogs kiddos!

PS I really like the Jolie-Pitt baby names!

Basically what we're gonna do is dance...

Bonjour! Okay so now that I am back in the swing of things, I should let you all know, that I know will be writing two blogs that are mine personally. And then will be a contributing writing for the Chicago NOW blog. Anywho, my newest blog is something I am supposedly getting paid for. I'm sure it's totally some shady get-rich-quick-scheme as I found the posting on Craig's List, but whatever, it will be more pop culture and tv focused then this one. So ch-ch-ch-cheeeck it out beyotches! :)

Anyways, I thought i would let you all know about the newest addition in my life...I adopted a one-year-old tabby cat named Basil (pronounced the British way thanks). He is a bundle of energy and loves to purr!! He is so sweet. I still miss my wonderful Webster though too. I bet Basil would have loved him, and Webs would have loved someone to help boss him around.

I can't stop listening to the songs from Legally Blonde: The Musical. I blame MTV.
