Mystery is solved...

So, i talked to my apartments and figured out the great red notice mystery. Eviction notice. And it appears that they skipped out instead of dealing with it which is gonna leave an even bigger red flag on the credit. And, I think it was just in her name so it's gonna hit her. But, at least now i know. I was hoping for the middle of the night police raid though. I also feel sorry for the person that has to walk through that apartment to assess everything. cause it's gonna stink! dogs and stuff. at least it's cold right now so it's not stewing in there or anything

Sign of the Apocalypse

Ok, so the whole Britney and KFed thing. No brainer when it happened right? I mean I think we all had bets on when it would be over cause he's just so not right for her, using her, etc. Maybe it's all her partying, maybe it's her looking like a train wreck 24/7, maybe it's him laying low and just making really smart decisions, or maybe it's been too long since I've had a date... But I really kind of miss KFed. And I really almost (almost) hope that he gets at least 50/50 custody of the kids. Did you ever think there was a time that you'd be on Team Federline? And worse yet, find him almost likable? Now, I'm not going to say I find him attractive because I don't. But I'm really starting to like him... I think we all thought the best thing to happen to him would be marrying Britney. But I think divorcing her was the best move.

Also, pet peeve of the day: Adults who act like children.

Early Night...

So tonight was test night. So I'm home a little early. But it didn't start out so well. So class is at 530. And we were gonna spend at least the first hour reviewing some more, asking him any questions, etc. So for some reason, I think i need to leave at 430. I'm not sure why I thought that. I've never left at 430 for this class. I leave at 4. So I'm trying to get this project at work finished, and I run out of the office. And I have to go to Staples to pay a for some stuff we got earlier. Not a huge deal cause it took like 2 seconds. Well my low fuel light comes on too. and I'm thinking crap... I don't want to stop. Well I guess I was on a hill cause it leveled out and I was fine. So I get onto 30. Go like 5 seconds, and stop... Freaking wreck in the downtown canyon. And I'm in the far left lane cause I need to be but of course, most people in that lane are just riding it cause it's faster and then holding up traffic when they have to cut over cause it's exit only. So I call Dana and tell her I'm gonna be late, so she can tell the professor. Well I finally get to the cut over to 75, and gridlock... Cause of course now, it's 5 o'clock traffic. Then, at about 635 and 75, the fuel light comes on again! At this point I'm like you know what? I'll get close enough and hitch a ride if I have to. So I pull into a spot, grab my crap, and run in... It was about 545 so not too bad...
Right when I was walking in, apparently the loud girl had raised her hand and said um, can you write with a marker that I can actually read? I guess he had been using a red marker and she couldn't see it so he had to change to a black marker. And apparently she was all attitudey and stuff and he just switched to get on with it. I also found out that she announced to everyone that she drives a hard top, Volvo convertible... Bitchin... there was more to the story but it's not important really...

So now I'm home. I'm relaxed, and it's wait for the test score...

So, random news. Apparently Courtney Love may replace Paula Abdul on American Idol. Sure, let's replace one train wreck with another. Brilliance...

So Brandi may be charged with vehicular manslaughter with that wreck she caused back in LA. It stinks, but you know what? If she was a non famous person, she'd be charged. Someone died! And the civil rights groups have the balls to say that she's being singled out because of her celebrity. As far as I know, they haven't claimed it's cause she's black yet. OK, i have major issue with this. How many times do celebs get off easy cause of their status? Or get probation instead of jail time? You're telling me you have the audacity to claim she's being singled out? Someone died!! I can't even begin to tell you how pissed off it makes me that they're saying this. What about the next time that someone truly is being made an example of? Then people aren't going to take them seriously!

One of my favorite times of the year is now... The Sports Guy and his super bowl blog. Love it!

Crawfish season is back! I'm determined to eat more crawfish this year... Just saying...

Ok, tomorrow, it's back to work, and I'm also gonna need a couple beers. And if you're reading this (you who knows I'm talking about you), I REALLY need those couple beers...

That's all...

Sunday night...

So, you ever find yourself on a Sunday sort of delaying going to bed because then that means you're closer to waking up and having to face another week? That's sort of me tonight. Not because of work so much. More cause of school. I have my first test this week and we met and studied today, will study again tomorrow, but I just keep freaking out. I do this and always have. I just don't feel as confident with the accounting stuff cause it's not my strength. But I'm sure it's fine. The prof is cool and isn't trying to trick us so... And, we review again in class before taking the test so... No worries right?

Went shopping tonight for groceries. Luckily I had a list and stuck to it pretty well cause we ran late studying so I was kind of hungry by then. Let me tell ya kids... Got some good food coming up. Got the goods to make crawfish etoufee. One of my specialties by the way. Also found a new recipe for a Cheesy Shrimp Bisque that I'm gonna try as well. Have a couple other things I want to test but may need to cook those with other people. Just to have another opinion on it. And then just got some other necessities. Hate when I let it all stock pile so that the bill ends up being scary.

Ordered some clothes that should be here this week. That's something fun to look forward to. And, Thursday we go out for Steph's birthday which I'm really looking most forward to cause I've never really been out "good drinking" with. So I'm really stoked for that. SO MUCH!

Crossing Jordan is on right now. I used to watch this show but I can't remember what else came on that took it's place for me. Brothers and Sisters I watch now but it's a rerun so I figured I'd see what's up tonight. Turns out a major character is gonna die. Have no clue who and since I don't really watch anymore, I'm not sure it matters. If you've ever watched, there's a character that they call "Bug" but the funny thing? This is his real character name on the show. Dr. Mahesh 'Bug' Vijayaraghavensatanaryanamurthy. Seriously? Who was the weirdo that when originally writing the show thought that would be a fun name to have to write out? No wonder they just call him Bug.

Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight. Wasn't home to watch it but I'm looking at some of the pictures. Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are so cute! I'm not sure what the pink hair thing she's been doing lately is but she's still adorable. Jennifer Hudson looked great. The cast of Grey's looked pretty good. Kate Walsh (Addison) looked so pretty. I love when red heads wear yellow. Looks good on them. Ok either some chick named Vera Farmiga looks just like Claire Forlani or IMDB mismarked the pictures. America Ferrara and Forest Whitaker won again in their categories. So did Jennifer Hudson. I hope this doesn't mean they won't win the Oscar.

Is anyone else getting a big kick out of this whole Paris Exposed website? I mean for the past few years now she's been trying to sort of convince people that she's not a sleazy ho bag but then this stuff all comes out. I have to think though that she's still getting a cut on this. I mean come on. If you know you have super private stuff in a storage facility, you don't want people to know, they send you numerous notices to pay the bill, which is only 200 bucks, and then you just don't? I mean there's a medical bill from a Los Angeles clinic, billing an "Amber Taylor" - with the same birth date as Paris - for a miscarriage in March 2003. Why do you want people to know this about you? I don't know. So I don't really feel like she's a victim since I think she's in on it. Much like her sex tape she didn't want out, she got paid for that too.

Ok, that's all for now... Couple things I'm thinking about. I'm thinking about a new TV, a laptop, and some new shoes.

That's all...

Random Rant

Ok, so you know what's really fun? People selling out things about you for no understandable reason. And not even selling you out. Taking one little thing that you've done a couple times in your life and making it seem like you own your own VIP membership. I'm not sure if it was done to be mean or just to take some heat off of that person, but either way, totally not cool. Lucky for this person, I'm more mature and I'm not gonna fire back. I'm leaving it at my little rant right here, and then I'm done with it. I know the truth and I don't in the slighest bit feel that I have to justify anything or clear the air about anything. When people lie, it almost always comes back to bite them in the ass...

Rainy day...

So, today is too easy to be lazy. I did get up and go running though. It was gorgeous this morning but then the rain moved in. I'm going through boxes and stuff that I need to clear out. Stuff that's been in boxes since I moved out of my parents house so I think it's safe to say I won't need it. And laundry, and throwing out the trash... Don't be jealous. I know it sounds like a blast.

So my promotion was officially announced yesterday. Manager of Sales Administration... FOR THE WHOLE COMPANY. Holy crap. That sounds like such a big deal. Not sure that it is but it sounds fancy.

So Lohan officially had the most fake stay in rehab. For one, she was never there. Two, she's done. After a week? I'm sorry, 9 days. They say that residents are allowed to leave for AA meetings, doctors appts, etc. But they have to take a sponsor with them. Ok, she was allowed to leave to have lunch with friends, get her Mercedes serviced, grocery shop, etc. They said also that she was even given a key to the facility, was allowed to have frequent and multiple visitors including her masseur, hair stylist, and makeup artist. Now she's back shooting her movie. How about the Keith Urban approach and actually take it seriously?

Pictures of Brit's second kid finally surfaced. Although they're totally grainy stalker pictures. But at least we know he's real right? I'm sure he's a cute kid, I'm just also sure that she's whoring him around for the most money. I think I'll do that with my family whenever I have kids. Highest bidder gets to see the pics.

Ok, now it's not raining anymore. The sun is back out and it's super windy!

The Jessica Biel/Justin Timberlake hook up. I love it! She came to Sundance for no reason other then to hang out with him. Awesome...

Rumors of George Clooney and Pam Anderson hooking up. First of all, I don't believe it. Second of all, if it's true, has he just run out of women to date?

So there's this whole is their relationship real thing going on with John Mayer and Jessica Simpson. Some are saying that she's doing it to get back at Nick. That confuses me a little. Nick has long since moved on. So I'm not sure why NOW, she'd try to make him jealous. Also, since Mayer flipped out the last time they almost were dating cause he thought she was using it for publicity, then why now would he be ok with it? Unless he decided he wanted to whore out for attention. But there's this picture on the net now that shows him kind of behind her but her rocking this teeny little robe and these huge wedge heels. It looks a teeny bit skanky. Good times.

Have I mentioned that I'm hardcore addicted to spider solitaire? Like compulsively. I'm talking I can't stop playing until I win. And then when I win. I want to play another game. It's scary.

Ok, I have to go study for a little bit for my Accounting test. Possibly more later.

That's all...

Short and Sweet

So, neighbor on the lam enters night 4... Still nothing. All papers still in the door. Legal and junk menus. I really want to be there when they get the apartment manager to open the door and they see nothing but a bunch of dog stained carpet.

The Hills is still strong in week 2. I really am happy that it is turning out to be good this season. I was worried. Also something to check out, Maui Fever. Just a bunch of bitches and airheaded guys. Awesome. Underage and Engaged also premiered strong. Kudos to MTV this season. Especially for not trying to drag the hell out of the Real World/ Road Rules stuff. Oh also on the Maui Fever thing... any show that in it's opening episode shows one of the guys actually giving some sort of duck mating call thing to let his boys know that hot chicks are around... that's just genius that you can't make up. It's called Reality TV gold...

Oh and there's some creepy story thing flying around the net about Britney's man and they show pictures of his girlfriend in high school who looks just like Brit did then. Apparently he's always been like obsessed with her and even called his high school girlfriend Britney. what the heck? that's not normal!

Oh my gosh... I just saw that Fox approached the Beckhams about doing a Meet the Beckhams reality show thing... Holy crap. That... would... be... AWESOME. I have to leave it at that. The mere thought is just too much.

I keep trying to think of a way to talk more about my real life stuff but how do you do that without pissing people off that read this that may be involved in my real life stuff once in a while? Dilemma...

Good night my loves...

That's all...

School and outlaws and random stuff

So school tonight. Accounting which is ewww. I love math but I hate the balance sheets and ledgers and all that. But tonight, something just clicked. It just made sense. So of course now I love it. Cause I love feeling smart. It makes me happy. :) I think we almost totally killed that talky girl in class tonight. In fact, I'm sure that the professor was doing that whole count to 10 thing in his head so he didn't do something he regretted. She's horrendous. Like you just have no idea. She was actually fairly quiet the first half of class, but I think she saved up for the second half. At one point my friend Ryan, was literally rocking in his chair and muttering "I'm going to kill her, I don't want to go to jail, but I can't stand it, I want to kill her"... she's just terrible. And she talked about her wife tonight. It was all just awesome. Normally, i wouldn't care if she talked about her husband, wife, whatever... I'm just annoyed by everything about her. She could say that she rescues kittens from burning buildings or something and I'd think that she set the fire on purpose or something. I know that makes no sense but... She's just awful.

But class was great. The teacher is awesome and we have a midterm next week and he's like I'll email you a review on Friday, then we'll review before class and then take the test. And the final is going to be emailed to us and has to be completed and sent back by a deadline. LOVE GRAD SCHOOL. We're also gonna mass email the scheduling director and beg them to let him teach us the second half of the class in the next 8 weeks.

So the people that live across from me haven't been home for a while. And I notice this for a couple reasons. One, I think they run a Rottweiler dog farm out of their 750 square foot, one bedroom apartment. And I'm telling you, that place stinks. The worst is clearly when the door is open but also when they run their dryer. It just blows the stink out. And also, their dogs go to the restroom outside, I think they crap bigger then a 6'5", 300 pound man. It's horrid. Anyways, I also noticed they haven't been home cause there are menus and stuff on their door so you know that it hasn't been opened. It's been maybe a week. And I'm almost thinking they just moved out in the middle of the night or something cause you can see into the apartment a little and the doors are off hinges, trash on the patio, etc. So yesterday I get home and there's this huge red tag thing on the door. I've seen this before on another apartment in my building. It's the hey we tried to serve you a warrant cause you're evading a certain offense notice. I think it's a pretty petty crime. I tried to read it but someone was coming and i didn't want to get busted. :) And then today, there was a rolled up piece of paper with some official looking seal on it so I'm thinking they tried to serve more papers. I want to stay home tomorrow and just watch out the peephole for the cops to come. This is getting good. Yes, this is the ghetto that I pay rent in.

In news that shocks no one, The Bachelor Lorenzo and Jen have broken up. This is not shocking cause no sooner did the finale air, she was seeing "frolicking" on a beach with some ex. But, he's apparently seeing the runner up Sadie. I thought they weren't allowed contact but I'm glad they bent that rule if that's really what they do. Maybe this way they may actually have a successful relationship.

I love how one article says that Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger secretly got married and then in the next paragraph they mention that maybe they've in fact broken up. Um, can you actually write an article covering both? Isn't that like predicting the outcome of the Super Bowl and saying you know, I think the Colts are going to win but if they don't, I think it will be the Bears. That's kind of cheating...

Ok, greatest line I've seen about Lohan's rehab... From Egotastic.com

"For Lindsay Lohan, rehab is kind of like senior year in High School. You don't really have to go if you don't want to."

Apparently they let you out for AA meetings and other doctor's appointments but she was seen at her apartment. I really want her to take this seriously and get better so I hope she has good reasons.

Ok, they're coming out with a Transformers movie. And Josh Duhamel is in it. Ok, I was totally going to see it, but after seeing this picture, I'm totally in. Look how dirty he is. And by dirty, I mean YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM.

Josh Duhamel

I'm sleepy, I'm gonna get in bed. Hope to drink some beer tomorrow.

I think I will start signing off in the words of the fab Meryl Streep from the Devil Wears Prada.

That's all...

Another day..........

Ok, so school last night was fun. Got our groups assigned. Or I guess we picked them. I think I like my group. This is the one that part of the project is us getting to know each other. So that’s gonna be a lot of fun I think. I didn’t get paired with the Scott Stapp guy so that was great! We did all these little games to kind of get to know people a little to see who we wanted to group with. Interesting. Not sure they had any bearing because 2 of the girls in my group are in my Tuesday class also so we all picked each other. Then this other girl standing by us and this guy… So who knows. But it should be a lot of fun I think. I really like the class. It’s just really interesting to me.

Ok, couple things I noticed last night before class… Ok, I know we live in Texas, we don’t have a lot of time during the year to wear the cute winter stuff, etc. But ok, it’s cold out, but is it totally necessary for the full on wool sweater, winter coat, scarf, gloves, etc? I mean then you get inside where it was 100 degrees and you have to have a whole other bag to keep all your clothing. I don’t know. Just seems excessive.

Also, I LOVE the people that walk up to a classroom, and start to walk in only to notice that the previous class hasn’t finished. Hey, did the 10 people standing in the hall waiting for them to be done not clue you in at all? I’m just saying…

Let’s see… Hollywood stuff. Oh, ok. Here’s one thing. Lindsay Lohan. Who deep down I really do love. Cause I love Mean Girls and some other stuff she’s done. She’s just in big need of help right now. Anyways, she had to leave rehab for a doctor appointment or something and there were hoards of paparazzi out there waiting for her. And taunting her. Like really mean stuff about rehab and such. That’s just evil. I hope those people rot in hell.

Meryl Streep nominate for best actress. LOVE DEVIL WEARS PRADA! So I’m much psyched about that. Beyonce not nominated! Good… she didn’t do a lot in that movie anyways. Countdown to her dad claiming racism? Jennifer Hudson was nominated… Awesome. Cute little Abigail Breslin nominated… Awesome! Good stuff.

Missed the Hills last night. Gotcha catch a rerun. Shouldn’t be hard. Also wanted to see that underage and engaged or whatever. Looks disturbingly fascinating.

Ok, that’s all for now. I’ll have more Hollywood later. Just don’t have access to all my sites here. Later!

Post in the AM

I have some stuff including new group in Monday night class, random people in and around class, etc. It's 1030, I just got home like 30 minutes ago, I'm sleepy, etc. I can't think of any other excuses right now. So I'll see you in the morning.

I love my AFC...

So, I totally heart Dallas Clark. Just throwing that out there. Not sure what anyone can do with that info. Just that I have a total crush on him. Which can be said for a list of pro athletes, but he's really up there on the list.

Awesome game going on. I really love how when the Colts have the ball, it's so quiet in there that you can hear Peyton calling cadence. But then when the Pats are back out... not so much.

Love that the center for the Colts just recovered a fumble and just scored a touchdown. There's something really fun I think about players that will score a touchdown like 2 times ever scoring. They handed him the ball to keep and he spiked it. So much fun!

Ok, that's all. Keeping my fingers crossed for the Colts...

Are they or aren't they???

So, this whole Carrie Underwood/ Tony Romo thing. A little disappointing but I love her so I was able to deal. So he tells a reporter that no, he's not dating Jessica Simpson but yes, he's dating Carrie. THEN, the other day I hear a clip of her saying that she's talked to Tony a couple times but they are not together.
So then today, I'm surfing the sites and I find this little blurb on www.laineygossip.com

************************
Country Sweetheart insecure and jealous?

Shit…now here’s a shocker. A sweetheart not so much???


Received an email from the lovely AC in Texas:


Hi Lainey!

Carrie Underwood and Tony Romo were at a very nice restaurant in South Lake, Texas recently. Tony was a charmer and Carrie was a complete and total BITCH! Neither Please nor Thank You ever came out of her mouth! My friend was refilling water when an older lady came by and asked Carrie for an autograph and Carrie barked at her and told her to go away. After the meal was over and they were leaving, my friend asked Tony for his autograph bc her little sister is obsessed. Tony of course happily obliged asking the sisters name and age. Carrie threw a fit and started interrogating Tony questioning why he needed to know her age, finally storming out with him following her. I was born and raised in Dallas, and honey I have the best manners…maybe they don’t teach you that in Oklahoma, but maybe the bitch needs some lessons from Kelly Clarkson!

Ouch.

Maybe she’s not really that bad? Girl’s been looking kinda little – not eating can make you grumpy.

Could eating be the cure for the raging attitude?
**********************

Ok, so what is it? Yes or no? And how come the crazy, bitchy girls get the cute guys? What the heck? I'm thinking I'm not digging her so much anymore.

Gorgeous Day!

So it's beautiful outside. Sunny, clear sky, like 55 degrees. Awesome. I think it's supposed to get cloudy and stuff again so I'm loving it today.

Went to Winstar Casino last night. It's hilarious to me really. There are some interesting people there. I still think that Las Vegas is the #1 people watching location, but I'm starting to think that casinos in general or just hilarious. We didn't win any money but we had fun so I guess that's what matters right? Or at least that's how you justify it. And you can't drink there. WTF?

Nothing that new today. Watching some football, reading a little for school, just kind of whatever till I go to Church to babysit. I think when I get home I'll clean some boxes out that I've been meaning to. I think I can throw away a lot of trash.

Looking at some dates that I can come to Houston. It's tricky now cause there's a ton I want to do but I can't always come in cause of school and projects and all that. Stinks to have to consider all that again. Sucks being responsible sometimes...

Surfed the gossip sites a little this morning. Nothing that really intrigues me today. I'm still tired of all these people deciding it's their right, or job, or whatever to "out" people. You know, it's becoming increasingly common now for people to say that they're gay. But you know, if someone doesn't want to, it doesn't always mean they're ashamed. If they're an actor, then maybe their livelihood depends on people believing them as the hot, straight, leading man. And coming out would affect that and their paychecks. Not saying that it would be fair but it's just reality. So if trying to ruin that or affect it for someone makes you feel proud and that you've accomplished something... Well then good for you. Glad you can sleep at night. But I think it's crappy. And frankly no one's decision but the person "in question".

Oh yeah, kind of funny story. So Miss Nevada, the one dethroned for having all those pictures of her being "inappropriate" surfaced. So she gives an interview and says that she feels treated unfairly. That she should have had a second chance cause she was just so drunk that night that she doesn't remember any of it happening. Ok, I've been really drunk before. And there have been parts of conversations maybe that I don't remember. But I've never just blacked out entire hours at a time. And I'm not saying it's not possible. I'm just saying that if you're using that as your defense, then make sure the pictures of you FROM ANOTHER NIGHT DOING THE SAME THING don't surface as well. It's just common sense really.

Alright, I'll leave you with a couple of "Blind Items" from Page 6 in the New York Post. I think the first is John Mayer and Jessica Simpson. Second, a little too non specific but for some reason Lance Armstrong comes to mind. Any guesses?

---WHICH shaggy-haired rocker with a perky pop-star girlfriend has the nightclub circuit buzzing that he's been taking guys home with him late at night? . . .

---WHICH famous athlete isn't as interested in women as his fans believe? He has been able to keep his sexuality under wraps, but the question is for how much longer.

Still Cold... Still Rainy... but we need the rain

I keep telling myself that it's a good thing to deal with all this rain right now because then you know what happens? THE RIVER GETS CLOSER TO NORMAL DEPTH! I love going to the river (usually Comal or Guadalupe) more then anything. LOVE IT. But it really stinks lately to have to get up and pull your tube through cause it's too shallow or it's just so slow!!! So keep raining! Fill up my river!

I was all set to write my feelings on Britney's new Kevin Federline but apparently they've already broken up. MAYBE, because any time he's photographed with out her he's flashing his head shots... and maybe she actually noticed that. So can she PLEASE get back in the studio and stop being such a train wreck? It's getting harder for me to support her and take her side.

Ok, so I cannot watch the reject people on Idol. It's just mean. Cause now, I think they keep showing people who are at the very least socially retarded, but I think some are actually lacking some ting mentally. And I think they're purposely just making fun of these people. And I don't know, just something wrong with that to me. Now, I understand that Simon is probably a fantastic representation of what happens in the music industry. And that's fine. But save it till the Hollywood round when it's at least people that have some sort of talent. I don't know. Just doesn't make good TV for me. Clearly I'm in the minority but...

I am however totally captivated by this whole missing boys in Missouri thing. The one was taken for like 3 days or something which I'm sure was terrifying but the other kid was captive for like 4 years. I can't even fathom. And I think that's why all this is just interesting because he was able to run free. He could do things on his own, ride his bike around, etc. Never told anyone he was a missing kid. There were even pictures of him in the town he was living in and nothing... Now today i saw a story where he even talked to a cop about his bike being stolen. but never said he was an abducted child. I guess he had the fear that this guy was gonna hurt his family but it's just strange to me.

Ok, so Lohan is in rehab. Hopefully it helps. But if her freaking whore mom doesn't shut up... She keeps doing all these interviews and stuff talking about how proud she was of her and how she's at such a great place in her life and stuff. She actually said I'm just her mother, not her keeper. Um, you're her mom. And clearly she's not making good decisions. You need to step in and be a freaking mom. My mom would. Of course I'm not my mom's sole source of income so she's got nothing to lose from that standpoint. And I can't believe i just compared my mom to Dina Lohan. That's so opposite ends of the spectrum. Anyways, I think she just making it sound like it's an accomplishment to be 20 and in rehab. Whatever.

Oh, I'm loving this whole JT and Cameron thing. Apparently she followed him all around the Golden Globes, was getting pissed off when he talked to other women, etc. Now, she's trying to make him jealous by hanging out with Kelly Slater (pro surfer). Um, ok. that's fine if one, he cared, or two, everyone in the world didn't know that Kelly Slater is every one's rebound guy. So keep at it Cameron... Seems like it's working wonders.

Alright kids... That's all. I'm on my way to Oklahoma to gamble!
Later...

I'm a copycat...

So in the spirit of Josh's "I swear I have a great blog coming up" post, I must say that I have the same in the works. Now, I guess I should clarify that it's not necessarily mind blowing and life altering, I just mean I'll post today. I know I've had requests for it which is always flattering. And dear lord my lovely sister, I'll call her Stacey so you don't know which one, acts like a crack addict that can't get her fix if I don't update. And honestly, that makes me tear up a little. Cause if I can affect one person through my blogs, then my job is done.

So more later... :)

Short post tonight... (seriously)

At least that's the plan.

So the snow came today. AWESOME! Now it's just cold but mostly dried out. BOO.

Lohan is entering rehab. She calls it being proactive with her health. Not sure I totally buy that but I'm really glad she's doing it no matter what. I really do like her as an actress and it would be incredibly sad if something really seriously bad happened to her. I'm talking like death or serious disease. So good for her for getting help.

My I-swear-he's-not-gay-he-just-plays-it-in-a-movie boyfriend is on the cover of GQ. So buy some copies of Jake's new issue. He's hottie big time.

Baseball starts soon! I'm so stoked.

Lost is back! 3 weeks from tonight. God I miss that show. I need a study guide to remember what's going on.

Rumor is that Britney is pregnant again! But her manager swears it's not true. Hey, how about we see baby #2 before we start work on #3. Just an idea. I read somewhere that's probably Asian like Suri is. That's pretty funny. And also we know that if he in fact looks like Suri, then that means that Chris Klein is JJ's daddy too! Good times.

Ok, I'm gonna read my new Cosmo. Good tips this month it looks like. If anything looks interesting or helpful, I'll post about it later.

One More Thing...

Can be be any hotter? Like seriously? And can MLS maybe implement like No Shirts day or something? Either if the Galaxy comes to Frisco or at least televise it? Cause I take back my previous post slightly. If Becks wants to do porn, then he should. It'd really be a shame if he didn't.

Not as tired tonight...

So I think when I don't have class two days in a row it's not too bad. Tonight was actually tolerable. And, my professor was exhausted so he actually let us out a whole 30 minutes early. Nice to get home before 10... Annoying talker girl? Still annoying and still talking. The professor even bitched at her once tonight. I must say, once he made it through night one without wanting to kill her, I thought he never would. But it was great. She's just brutal. Funny thing before class, I was sitting in the hall and this guy walks by and kind of smiles and says hi. I'm thinking huh, he must think I'm someone else but he's pretty cute. A few minutes later he comes back and sets his stuff by me. I'm still a little confused but again, he's cute... All of the sudden it hits me. OH MY GOD. That's Ryan. As in Ryan who's in my group for the class. He had long, skater kind of hair last week and totally cut it off. Very clean cut now. VERY cute. Totally a different look for him now. We sat down with the other guy in our group and were like dude, didn't even know it was you! I guess he had to get a real job now that his internship was done so he cleaned up. NICELY by the way.

Ok, so since I got home at 930 no real TV to watch cause everything had started. So i was flipping around. Was on Law and Order SVU and wouldn't you know, but the bad guy tonight was Kumar. First he's being evil on 24 and now SVU? He's quite the guest star slut this week isn't he? Now it's almost fun. What's he gonna turn up on next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fall out from the Globes? Nothing major. Apparently Cameron was trying to get cozy with JT again. I'm hoping it doesn't happen. Saw the replay of America Ferrera's speech. Still love her! And Hugh Laurie was hysterical so check it out too if you find it.

American Idol kicked off tonight. MISSED IT of course. I'll find recaps tomorrow.

Read that Renee Zelweger and Luke Perry went on a date. I think i like that for some reason.

The Donald got a star on the walk of fame. Those are like a dime a dozen now. I think they're gonna stretch out of California soon. Here's a pic of him, the wife and the kid. I'm thinking baby Zoolander but maybe I'm wrong.

From The Donald an...

Oh, another beauty contestant dropped out for being skanky. Miss NJ I think. Got knocked up so she can't compete for Miss USA. All this happened when the Donald bought out the pageant. Coincidence????

OK, I'm out. It's cold and I want to get some sleep.

The Hills!!!!!!!!!! Oh my god, The Hills!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so season 1, as much as I tried to love it, just didn't quite do it for me. I liked it, just never loved it.
But season 2... good lord if the whole season is as good as the first episode... wow.

They did this run down of everyone. Lauren of course didn't go to Paris, broke up with Jason, so her summer sucked. Heidi went from oh-my-god-do-I-really-have-to-work-I-just-want-to-hang-out-underage-in-clubs to an apparent promotion and more responsibility. I love her so I was actually kind of psyched to see it. And come on, she works for a club promoter. You think even if she sucked that he was stupid enough to fire his free press with MTV? Then they show Whitney who smartly took the Paris job. And Audrina, who left her not so great receptionist job at random modeling place to become another not so great receptionist at Epic records. Seeing as how modeling/acting is her passion, it's smart that she would quit the modeling/acting place for the music place that she has no real interest in. But I'm thinking logic thinking isn't her forte so... Apparently also, Heidi is now dating Spencer who also dated, or at least wanted to sleep with Audrina. Let me tell you something boys. Unlike you all that can share a girl like it's nothing at all, girls cannot do the same. We get very bitchy if we used to be interested in a guy, haven't thought of him in 10 years, and then find out a "friend" of ours has the nerve to think about dating him.

So first part of the episode showed her dropping all of Jason's stuff on the curb for him. He was there but... and she was obviously not happy to be doing it and he looked happy as a clam. They want to try to stay friends but clearly that's not gonna be possible. Then she goes to work. This had the potential to be brilliance. Now, in the preview they showed her boss asking her very snidely about her summer decision. I had no idea how much better it would play out in reality. Now, I did feel bad for Lauren but not too much. I mean she passed up PARIS for a freaking greasy maybe guy. Whole other discussion.

So Lauren goes home, all upset and crying and how she broke up with Jason cause she was sick of crying all the time, and then she was crying cause of other things and she just wants Jason there to help her feel better. Cause she thinks how good they were... Heidi, saying the best thing I've ever heard a friend tell another friend, tells her that the best part of Jason was Lauren... that's so sweet!!!!!!!

So then they show Spencer and Heidi at dinner. Takes her to his fave Mexican place, feeds her this really sweet line about how happy he is with her, etc. They show them walking to his place with a couple bought from the guy at the corner Carnat-roses. And of course that's the password to yes I'll sleep with you tonight. She walks in the apartment the next morning telling Lauren how great he is and she's falling for him, etc. You know this is bad! Sure enough, next seen is him doing frozen yogurt with Audrina. Clearly he has an account with he cheap corner flower guy cause he's picked some from the same bunch for this date.

Clearly he's playing Heidi... and, she gets the pregnancy test too. Love the drama! love that the random friend from high school is still hanging around Lauren. LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope it stays good. Preview looked good.

More stuff happened but I'm tired and let's face it, it's MTV so you'll have 22 more chances to see it before next week.

He can't really be gay right?

So I have always had this strange crush on Jake Gyllenhaal. He's not like Brad Pitt gorgeous, but for someone I've never met, he just seems like a really good, normal guy. And he's certainly not unattractive. So there's all these rumors swirling that he's gay. "Latest clue" is that he was seen last week or something walking around town with some guy and the guy was wearing some track jacket that apparently Jake wore in a skit on SNL. Not sure why that makes him gay. Maybe this is actually just a guy friend of his. Maybe the guy needed a jacket and it's really Jake's or something. I just don't want to believe he's gay for some reason. It's not like I'll ever meet him, or if I did I would have a shot at him. But for some reason, I feel like I'd be totally devastated if he was. I don't know. But check out his opening sequence on YouTube. HIGHlarious.

I'm flipping around TV right now. Can't settle on something. I should be watching 24 but it's like I just don't feel like thinking right now. Golden Globes are on. I love that awards show cause they can drink all night. The speeches by the end of the night are high comedy because of the wine and champagne. I also love that Jennifer Hudson won for her role in Dreamgirls but I think that Beyonce lost hers. Awesome! I really hope America Ferrera wins for her role in Ugly Betty. That show is just great. I love that Hugh Laurie won for his role in House. He's so hilarious and his speech tonight was really good. Reese Witherspoon looks amazing tonight. She's got this simple, long straight hair thing working that's just beautiful.

Surfing around ESPN, there are actually people that say Schottenheimer should be fired. Um, he took his team to a 14-2 record and just cause his team, not him spazzed out in the playoff game does not mean you cut him. That's just a lame, knee jerk reaction.

Oh yea!!!!!!! Ugly Betty just won best comedy! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good looking cast by the way.

They say that the creators of are actually pin pointing an end date to the show. As much as I love the show, I am really happy to hear that. I'm gonna need this show to have an ending or it will stress me out forever. And, that way too they can end it when it needs to end and not two seasons too late or something.

How come watching 24, all I can think is holy crap that was the kid that was Jack's son on Will and Grace? Being held hostage by Kumar from Harold and Kumar... It's just too crazy.

I think that Clint Eastwood may have bypassed the crazy plastic surgery thing. His face is tight, but not in that crazy tucked my face behind my ears kind of way. He's a really good looking old man. Not quite Sean Connery, but really really close.

Wow, that's enough random for me. Unless of course I see something else.

OH! So on her first real day in LA, Posh apparently spent like 100K. Which is less then her husband makes per day but... Then they say that part of the reason they moved was cause Beckham wants to be an actor. Ok, he's pretty, but I'll be surprised if he's good at anything other then porn or a soccer movie. Or maybe a soccer porno... I'm not sure. And what's the over under on them becoming full on Scientologists?

Ok, for real, I'm out.

Still cold and rainy...

So I went to take my dog out a little while ago. You should see me when I go out there. It's pretty icy on the ground so I had my sweats on with my Doc boots cause yesterday when I was wearing just tennis shoes, I almost took a header about 6 steps because the ice started pretty high. So this afternoon I go out and even more steps are iced now. So I was like crap. Not really worth the risk to get down there. Not if both me and my dog are gonna get hurt. Or I let go and he goes running. Luckily, there's another set of stairs and those weren't even covered in ice. Very strange.

Ghostbusters was on TV today. I'd forgotten how much I LOVE THAT MOVIE. Bill Murray is hands down the funniest in that movie. Rick Moranis is good, but Bill is like random, sarcastic lines funny. And that movie was made in 1984. Still good times. Ghostbusters 2 was actually not bad either. Considering sequels almost never live up to the original.

Ok random insert... I'm watching 24. Can honestly say I've never seen a single episode. But a couple of my friends are hardcore so I thought I'd check it out. Not sure yet what I think since it's only 10 minutes in. However, I love me some Keifer Sutherland. After all, he's in one of my favorite movies of all time. Oh yeah, clearly the best exchange in that movie is when the waiter asks them how they'd like their steaks prepared. And Woody Harrelson says "Oh, just knock its horns off, wipe its nasty ass, and chunk it right here on this plate." LOVE THAT! Anyways, 24. So apparently Keifer was in some prison or something and he's all haggard and hairy and dirty and stuff. Totally hot. I'm not even kidding. There's just something really sexy about him and the homeless guy look. And you know as soon as the commercial is over, he's gonna be back in game shape ready to kick some butt.

So I'm watching Deal or No Deal tonight. Ok, I know that it's no fun if someone just stands up there all boring and picks numbers. But where are they finding these whack jobs? The first chick tonight scared me because she got all excited that he called her name and her dress wasn't exactly staying down. I think we almost saw panties... THEN, when they get to her support people, there's only 2. So of course Howie acts like he's not sure why and then it turns out the girl and her BFF are huge fans of the show and the BFF thinks they're just getting a tour. So they make this big show of surprising her. Well then, she's back and forth, offer is at 97K. Her husband is like take the money, that's a good start for us. And her mom and BFF are blocking him and saying don't listen. But she takes it. Turns out her husband is a moron cause her case had 750K. Now, I fully believe no one's ever gonna let it play out to what's in their case UNLESS their final two cases are really high numbers. Or, the person has to come on and say screw it. I don't care what I go home with. But it's still fun to watch.

Pats/Chargers game. I really like the Patriots. Big Tom Brady fan cause he's good and he's pretty. And I dig the fact that if the Pats win, the game next week is in Indy and that gives my other love, Peyton Manning a chance to win at home. But I really like the prospect of a Ladanian Tomlinson/Drew Brees SuperBowl match up. Right now, 8 seconds, 54 yard FG attempt to tie the game. This will be his career long... Kick is up, has the distance, it's wide right!!!!! I'm sure somewhere Ray Finkle is yelling "The laces were out!!!!!!!!" Ok, now the announcers are saying it didn't have the length anyways. Ok, and then the lame officials call a penalty after the play and literally say they took their helmets off and are celebrating. Come on... Now, LT is all pissed about something. There was almost a fight mid field. Come on boys...

Ok so next weekend. Only Sunday football. Saints and Bears and the game I really want to see, Pats and Colts. I'm pulling for Saints/Colts in the Superbowl. But we'll see if it happens.

Football Sunday

So the Bears/Seahawks game that I really don't care anything about is in overtime. Maybe it's cause I'm used to following Houston football but I really don't dig NFC football. Now I like players here and there but... I think I like Brian Urlacher from the Bears cause even though I can't stand Paris Hilton, I totally dig that she was able to take big bad scary Urlacher and totally use him. I don't know why that's comical to me.

So we have the big "winter freeze" going on. I know it's supposed to get a little worse and far be it from me to tell people to risk their lives just for work, but how many people do you figure will call in tomorrow morning and say um, I know I only live like 5 minutes from the office, but I'm gonna be in late cause I've been watching the news... you know the people that are paid to freak the hell out of you at any cost? Yeah well they say don't leave the house for like 4 years unless I really have to... So that's gonna be a fun Monday morning for me.

Saw an article online today that Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler were spotted at Disneyland together. Initialy thought... wow, so sweet that they can hang out together with their kids and all that given the fact that they've spent the past couple months taking the high road and slamming each other in their respective MySpace blogs. I mean it's gotta suck when your husband accuses you of sleeping all day and never taking care of the kids so you split and then he's out and about with Paris "I've only had sex with two guys ever (um, you think anyone will believe that?) Hilton. So anyways, sweet story about them at Disney right? Well, they didn't have the kids with them! It was just them and a couple friends hanging out. Apparently they were all over each other, very lovey dovey. And, I guess pissed off a bunch of people cause they got all this special treatment. So wow. I guess they're back together this week. Must be some good booty.

Did you see the video clip of Paula Abdul drunk off her butt promoting the new season of American Idol? Apparently after that made it's way around the net, she cancelled all other interviews. Um, they should have checked her into rehab. Can you believe she had the balls to say she's never been drunk in her life? Um, was she drunk when she said that? Cause I'll fully admit that a good part of why I watch Idol is to see her slur and slobber her way through each show.
Here's the video in case you missed it.



So enjoy. I'm gonna get back to my day of laundry and homework. Try to not be jealous.

I'm sleepy

So I've had a really long week. I'm exhausted. And since it's getting really cold out, it's raining, and I could fall asleep at a moment's notice, I'm staying home tonight. Gonna watch the episode of Grey's I missed last night, read my gossip rags, and hang out with the dog. Haven't seen him much this week so I think we need a night to catch up. He's snacking on a rawhide right now so he basically cares nothing about me at this time.

So school started this week. So far so good. It's just exhausting. Hard to catch up on sleep. I babysat Wednesday night so that wasn't a night of good sleep. Then last night we went out for Terk's bday so I didn't get much sleep last night either. Fun time.

So I've said before I don't like Lindsay Lohan. But honestly, I'm really scared for her. The rumor now is that she has a seriously screwed up liver. How can you be like 20 years old and have an almost failing liver? That's some great support she's got around her. She's the textbook example of what happens when no one tells you no and always lets you have your way. Saw something kind of funny though when I was reading my US Weekly. Article talking about her latest trip to the hospital and all that. Hands down best part of the article? The caption on the picture that reads, and I quote, " We thought maybe she had pulled something pole dancing". Now, I know she's been practicing and perfecting the art of the strip tease for a movie role, but how many of you can ever come close to having a friend of yours say the same? I mean that comic value of that is just priceless.

Does it freak anyone else out that Scarlett Johansson is only 22 years old? And she's had like 15 famous boyfriends. Did she start dating when she was 10? And I mean she's gotta be the oldest 22 ever. She's very mature and I think she gets a lot of "shut up! seriously? you're only 22?" I mean don't get me wrong, I think she's beautiful and she doesn't look like she's 50 or anything... I'm just saying. I'm thinking that this her and JT thing better be a fling cause I just don't like them together. I think I just love him with Britney so much I can't imagine anyone else.

Speaking of Justin, I think I've mentioned this before but his new song What goes around (or whatever), I know it's the topic of debate as to who it's about. I think he's just too over Britney for it to still be about her unless he's been hoarding this one for a while. But I was listening again the other day and I really think it's written for his best friend Trace about Elisha Cuthbert. Cause there's the one line where he says "I was ready to give you my name". And Trace and Elisha were engaged. JT and Brit never were... Just a thought.

Was reading the Sports Guy's article today and I'm really starting to love his wife's little blurbs she writes. She was random today and she brought up a couple interesting points. One, Albert Pujols. Change how you say it. Your name right now is pronounce POO HOLES. Do you want your kids to get beat down on the playground every day? It's just mean really. Another good point she brings up is the Deal or No Deal girls. How come they sit there and get all dramatic, how long can I be on TV tonight if I keep torturing this person and don't open the case. To quote the Sports Gal, "Shut your trap, open the case and be thankful you aren't clinging to a stripper pole anymore." Holy crap, two stripper references in one blog! There could have been three but I need to maintain the anonymity of a certain person.

And since baseball is about the kick back into spring training, I'd like to mention something else baseball. Barry Bonds. I hate him. I'm gonna seriously cry when/if he breaks the home run record this year because I think that's the biggest travesty of the game we'll ever see. I'll take Pete Rose betting on baseball all day long before I can handle a big, awful cheater taking possession of one of the most amazing records in history. But when they announced that he failed a drug test for amphetamines and he sold out a teammate saying it was something from his locker, that's just low. Now he has since come out and denied that Sweeney had anything to do with it but the damage is done. I just think he's an ass of a human being who's cheated, lied, and stole in every other aspect of his life and he's just scum.

Ok, I think it's getting colder so it's time to crank up the heater, curl up in bed, and not wake up till noon tomorrow.

Talk again tomorrow.

Ramblings...

So I really want to be able to move to this office that’s empty on our floor. It’s like 20 steps or something from where I sit now but it’s one of our fancy cubicle offices. I mean it has a door and stuff, but it’s seriously just a glorified cubicle that has a door. It doesn’t even go to the ceiling. I mean if you want a private conversation, you have to go elsewhere. But it’s back over by my guys and I want to go back. Plus, when one of our departments moves, it’s gonna be all empty here anyways. We’ll see if they let me. I’ll probably never get work done. Josh agrees… And before he told me the Sports Guy was not funny, I would have considered him brilliant. I mean if you read his blog (WHICH YOU ALWAYS SHOULD), you would know that he’s so close to finishing his PhD Thesis so in theory, he’s quite smart. I mean if Bill Gates personally sent him an email, then clearly he shouldn’t be working for S&S.

Is anyone in the world happier then Justin Timberlake right now? I mean he breaks up with Cameron and starts dating Scarlett Johannsen, the queen of open relationships. I mean what more could he want? Booty when he’s home, and no guilt about the booty he can get on the road. I heard that Jessica Biel tried to go backstage at a concert of his and got denied. So if I find out that she just used Derek Jeter to try to get in with the A list, I’ll have to kill her.

Not a whole lot other Hollywood drama going on. Britney is apparently dating K-Fed’s twin or something. Did she not learn her lesson? You can’t change the bad boy… you can’t do it. Go home, be a mom again, and get back to singing.

And seriously, someone tell me. Does ANYONE care about this lame fight between Rosie and The Donald? I mean I admit, it was kind of funny at first when he was saying he’d send over one of his friends in a pickup truck to steal Rosie’s girlfriend or wife from her. Come on, that’s not gonna happen… The Donald doesn’t have any friends that drive trucks! Get serious… but for real. The only thing remotely interesting now is seeing Barbara Walters lips purse up all the time cause she knows that she’s totally lost control and it’s no longer the View, but the Rosie show. Who would have thought that there would be a day that people would wish that Star Jones was actually still there.

All right… I guess that’s all for now. I’m sure something else will come up later.

I hate salesmen...

Ok, major work rant. So I handle commissions for a large percentage of the sales force at our company. And basically I’m the one that handles any changes that need to be made but only to a point. After we end a financial month, we have a week to still make changes. For example, out month of December ended on December 30th and I had until Friday, January 5th to make changes. So the guys get the report, send corrections, etc. Every so often someone is on vacation that week and can’t get their changes in. Well I can still send them to Houston the next week but only until Wednesday and she’s got a 100 other things to do so I try really hard to not overload her with things. So anyway, one of our guys was out last week. So he calls me on MONDAY and says yeah, I just got back from vacation, I’m working on it. And I said well I’ll do what I can but it depends on how busy she is in Houston, it’s out of my hands at this point. And she has to manually make these changes so I’m not promising. But if it doesn’t make this check it will absolutely be on next months. So it’s not like he won’t get paid for it. Well then he goes you know I really need it this month because I depend on that because I’m paying student loans for my son… I said again, I’m not telling you no, I’m just telling you it’s not under my power. Fine… so he sends them to me THIS MORNING. Today is the last day for the changes. I email him and his boss back and say I’ll do my best but I’m not promising. Then, he writes back to tell me that he uses these commission checks to pay the bills for his disabled son. Um, maybe I’m heartless, but that actually made me more mad. It’s like he keeps telling me over and over that I need to do this for him when he’s the one that was out. I’m not saying schedule your vacation around that week, but we do this at the same time every month. Make arrangements with someone else to do it for you this month or something. But do NOT play the disabled son card on me and think that’s gonna change things. It’s not a matter of it the girl in Houston will or won’t… It’s a matter of how her schedule is and she can’t just drop everything to always bail people out. I don’t know. Maybe I’m out of line but it just made me mad.

Tuesday Class... And the annoying classmate

Had my first Tuesday class last night. 4 hours!!!!!!!!! I was really worried cause that’s a long time to be in class. But my professor is awesome. He’s very involved, likes to tell stories, is funny, etc. We go from 530 till about 715, take a 20 minute break, get a drink, some food, whatever… Then we’re back for the rest of the time till almost 930. So you know every class has that person right? You know the person I’m talking about. The kiss ass that has to answer every question, throw in how it applies to them personally, etc. Normally I don’t really care. I let them be the annoying loudmouth and I don’t have to be the one to talk all the time. Shocking I know, but I get really quiet in a classroom setting. So anyway, this girl, is like no one I’ve seen in class before. Now she’s a little older then most in the class. And it’s been my experience that older people tend to get a little more involved because they’re more mature about it or whatever. I don’t know. Well let’s just say, that this girl is an absolute beating! I mean we’re talking the entire class started rolling their eyes when she would talk and we weren’t even at break yet. It was that bad. So we have to do a group project and I had already decided that I was gonna ask the guy in front of me to be in a group cause he seemed nice, was answering some questions, and also seemed highly annoyed by talker girl so I knew he was cool. But then, the professor totally called out that he would be a great partner cause he basically has inside track on the project. So I was a little worried that I’d look like I was using him but I really don’t care. And I don’t think he thought that either. So I got my two partners for the project. Both seem like cool guys so I’m stoked about that.
Oh kind of funny thing. So the professor has some rules for the class that you have to pay money if you break them, then he matches the money at the end and we donate to charity. Kind of fun and a different way to do things. So one of them is cell phones. Which is cool cause I turn mine off anyways. Or at least the sound. Oh sidebar. Talker girl asked if he could give her a receipt if her phone rang since it would only ring for business reasons. SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!! God… it’s brutal. So anyways, we’re about to start up again after break and I hear this phone vibrating. And I was like good lord! Who cant just turn it on silent… what the heck… So about 45 minutes later I check my phone to see what time it was cause I don’t wear a watch… and guess who’s phone it was that had been vibrating earlier… That’s right… I was the loser that I was making fun of earlier… I’m so cool. So there we have it. First week of school done… So far so awesome…

First day of school

Officially done with my first class. Great classroom by the way. Kudos to the people that designed this building. It's only like 3 years old and it's amazing. Our seats were in horseshoe formation in levels. Each round had hook ups for laptops. Not just plug ins to charge but also for logging on to the Internet. Very cool. Professor was great. Reminded me a little of Bill Cosby. Not super funny, nor did he pass out Jello, just had a sort of Cosby-esque thing about him. and funny enough to keep the class entertaining. That bodes well. Seems like a really great class. Very involved, very interesting. He also said something that totally comforted me. He said that this was an A or B class. That you'd have to totally never read the book, not pay attention, and just suck at like to fail this class. And, part of our class is a group project that in two weeks when we have class again (Thanks MLK Jr Day), we get to create our groups. And, we basically have to spend the first couple weeks in and out of class hanging out and getting to know our group for the purpose of this project. I smell some beer drinking! what better way to get to know each other? If I get the sad group that wants to get to know each other over like coffee or something??? I mean I'll do it but...
Oh yeah, couple fun things from the class. So before class starts and people are kind of filing in, some are setting up laptops. Cool. Not an issue. Well then this girl comes in, makes kind of an entrance, you know makes sure people see her and whatnot... Well our professor has also walked in at this point and is getting his stuff set up. So loud girl with computer sees the bloated Scott Stapp sitting nearby and decides that he can help with some computer issue she's having. So prof announces the class and hey if you're in the wrong place, no hard feelings, but you should leave now, etc. Well loud girl realizes she's not in the right class. But apparently, wrong class or not, being assisted by who I've now come to know is the lead singer of the foreign version of Creed is top priority. So she proceeds to stay in the wrong class for another 5 minutes until she finally leaves. This is one reason I love college. You always have these people. That clearly aren't aware of what they're doing but are providing quite the show for everyone else. Couple people by me were giggling too so at least I wasn't the only one.
Um, lots of people liking the surfing the net option of having the laptop in class. I'm gonna start to resent those people and become increasingly jealous... But I won't break down and bring the laptop...
Overall, great first day. Super bonus points to the prof when he said so... I could talk for another hour and half but clearly most of us in here are pretty interested in that national championship tonight so if there are no more questions, I'll see you in two weeks. LOVE THIS GUY!

Mini rant and then I'm done. Britney Spears... ok, she was trash all along. Just trash that had money. Money can only hide it for so long. Why are we all acting surprised at her recent "questionable behavior"? I mean come on. She just always had people that were there to cover her, or crazy amounts of money that could buy pretty things and good makeup. Give the girl a break. Now I would like to see her with the kiddos a little more... But still. oh, and I was all over the there is no Suri, the adoption hasn't come through, etc on the TomKat thing. Ok, so 4 months and we haven't seen Jayden James or whatever... Why are we not flipping out? Even thought clearly fathering children has never been a weakness of KFed but... Double standard I guess. And, Suri is totally Chris Klein's baby but whatever...

Mid Day Rant...

OK, so I never post during the day at work but I had a couple things on my mind that I just had to talk about. OK, first thing, more funny, not really big deal. But I read that the guy who coined the term “metrosexual”, has also created a term called “sporno”. Now this word, I love… Because it means pictures of athletes like shirtless, or trying to be all sexy and seductive and stuff. Taking a sports guy and making him a sex symbol. I love it! Cause that means I have all sorts of “sporno” on that one wall of my room. I’m just glad it has a name now… cause it’s good stuff. Some hot boys they put in ESPN the magazine…

Ok, here’s my big gripe for now. Lindsay Lohan. I can’t stand her! First of all, she’s a train wreck. And I could write a whole novel on the mess that is her mom. But here’s the thing. Clearly she has an alcohol abuse problem. No one is denying that. And we all know that AA is supposed to be anonymous. Ok, so don’t tell people that you’re in it for one. And two, when you do, don’t think for a second that any of us really think you’re just carrying a water bottle of only water into these clubs with you. We were all underage drinkers at one time. We know the tricks. It’s really actually very sad. And are we really gonna believe that she really was in the hospital for an appendectomy? Just like we were supposed to believe it when she was hospitalized for “exhaustion”? This girl is in the hospital more then an ER doctor. And then, she was spotted with freaking Travis Barker. Ok, when are girls gonna stop thinking he’s good looking? He’s icky. I mean really. Of course his soon to be ex wife is dating Jenna Jameson’s soon to be porn star ex husband so… it’s all one big mess of disease.
But if Lindsay Lohan goes after another one of Paris Hilton’s sloppy seconds… They’re all a bunch of high school kids, with a ton of money, that no one ever tells no so they just act stupid all the time. I hate to say it, but something really bad is gonna happen to one of these girls before they change how they are.

Ok that’s it for now. School starts tonight. There better be some cute boys in my class. Or at least in the hallways. I need some new options. I’ll write later…

Windy Sunday

Just got back from babysitting at church. Which I love doing. But you always have that one kid that pays no attention, instigates every other kid, and then when their mom gets there and you have to tell the mom that her kid was a nightmare, he becomes the sissiest little kid. Mom's are scary. It's usually an easy card to play if you just say fine, if you want to continue to not listen to me, I'll just go get your mom out of the meeting. That is the worst thing you can say to them.

Cowboys game last night... wow... totally awful feeling I'm sure Romo has today. I mean anyone that has played sports has to some degree made a play that has affected the outcome of the game. Maybe not as noticeably and specific as his goof last night. But you have to feel bad for the guy. And was it just me, or when they were showing the replay, did that look like the most greased up football ever? And the announcers said that it's a different ball then what they QB normally throws but still. Terrible way to end a game.

I'm thinking of dying my hair brown. No highlights, no low lights, just brunette hair. Not sure why, just want a change I think. We'll see though. I'll ask my hair lady's opinion when I go in.

Desperate Housewives is new tonight. That show is so much better when they quit trying to do the big deep serious stuff. I mean the whole family who kept someone in the basement thing? That's way too dark. They need to stick with the Susan being an airhead klutz, Edie being a slut, Gaby and Carlos fighting and then not and then fighting, things like that. Season 1 was amazing, but then Season 2 I think they were reading their own press too much and it just was stupid. Season 3 has been better so far cause they got back to just trying to be funny. Good plan... I'm curious to see how they are gonna hide the fact that Marcia Cross is carrying a litter. I mean when they're having one kid you can kind of hide it. But she's got twins. That's a little more tricky.

Oh and the show that comes on after... Brothers and Sisters... Total must see. Just a good show. Family drama at it's best. Maybe no one has a family with ALL that stuff, but we all have some element of that in our family. And it's just got a really good cast. So when you're bumming around at 9 on a Sunday, turn it on.

OK, couple pet peeves... One, celebs don't really have it rough as a whole. I mean I'm sure it stinks to have your every move documented, but clearly there are areas that are known as the hotbed for paparazzi. So stop being completely appalled that you go shopping on Robertson and you get your picture taken. Or eating at the Ivy... Give me a break. But here's what bugs me. How come if a female celeb goes to Petit Tresor (celeb baby stuff store), it automatically means they are pregnant? How come it can't mean that they have a friend that's having a baby and they are buying them something? Case in point, Nicole Kidman. Basically she's had pregnancy rumors since she said I do but still. She goes in, buys ONE THING. If that doesn't scream present... now who knows, maybe she's pregnant. But unless we already know they are pregnant, I don't think the store they shop in means that it's for them.

Another pet peeve... People that are hot and cold with how they act and what they say. Either way is fine, seriously... I mean clearly on option is more appealing then the other but seriously, pick a side. Don't be wishy washy. It just makes it worse. Not more attractive.

OK, gonna watch some football... Or maybe the movie Poseidon. So if you look on IMDB.com, do you know what Josh Lucas' birth name is? Joshua Lucas Easy Dent Maurer. WTF? I mean it should surprise no one that two sentences down from that it says his parents were hippies. No joke... but wow... Good thing he's hot...

another day....

So, I got my first request to make sure I posted a new entry. VERY COOL. Makes me feels very important.

Went to the Saturn Dealership this morning to get an oil change. And, my window won't roll down on the driver's side so I was gonna have them fix it. But apparently, the warranty I thought I was paying extra for is not real. So I guess I'll have to verify first that I'm not paying for something they don't have on record. And then, I'll have to shop around to a place that can fix it for not a ton of money. BOO. :(

Probably going to watch the Cowboys game tonight. I must admit, as much as you don't want to like the team, it's hard not to get stoked when the rest of the city is. It's funny what a good team can do. Not to worry, I still don't own any Cowboy's attire. Although, Jennifer and I really wanted to buy ski caps when were at the game last week. But they were $22!!! I think we can find them somewhere else for cheaper. We almost bought one to share but then that's just silly.

School starts Monday. I haven't bought the books yet cause I hate doing that before the first day of class. Cause you always end up spending $100 for a non returnable book only to have the professor say you know, they make me list a text book but I really don't use it. And then you're stuck with a stupid book that's worth nothing. Here's the other crappy thing. Say you actually use the book. You can turn it back in at the end of the semester, barely written on, binding hardly cracked, and they give you like $10 cause it's now got a new edition of the book. Biggest scam ever! But of course in my undergrad, selling back books was still good for like $30 even though you spent $300. And that was $30 more of beer so... I just think sometimes I should have gone into the book selling business.

OK, I understand I live in an apartment so I kind of throw away the right to bitch about people making too much noise. But already twice today, I thought the ceiling was coming down. I realized how nice it was to not have anyone living above me for a while. And I know they just moved in, and they're unpacking and stuff. But come on. Stop walking around your apartment like you have cement blocks on!

So the guy that saved the guy from the subway in New York? AMAZING. I mean seriously. I'm not sure that many, if any of us can honestly say we would have risked our own lives like that to help someone we don't know. He's totally a hero.

So on that note, I'm out for now. May be back later. TV shows are coming back all new and we know I love me some TV so I may have a couple shows to talk about.

Later!

Lazy Day...

Ok, not really lazy. But at the end of it I feel just drained and lazy. So today... normal day. It's a commission week. YUCK. Tell me the point of basically changing territories on a whim all the time. Makes no sense. Certainly not to the person that has to manually make the changes. And please, just a little bit of advice. When you work at the same company as someone, and clearly you both had the same Monday off from work, DO NOT tell the other person that you'll get things back to them when you can, and not at the suggested deadline because you're going to be really busy cause of the short week. Here's a little clue. It's a short week for everyone!

Signed something today that greatly disturbed me. To protect his anonymity, I won't tell you what it is. But I think for most of you that know me, nothing really disturbs me. In fact, it really made me laugh harder then anything in a while. Well, since Ryan's email of his fabulous ebay purchase. He should write a how to of not to be bored and surf ebay. Somehow, he bid on a dog that has it's leg hiked like it's peeing, but it's a doorstop. Classy right? The thing that gets me, is that he bid and actually thought someone would be more bored then him and actually out bid him. So now we have a door stopper that Zac and I have named Meaty in honor of the dog from Rob and Big. No, this one isn't a bulldog but still... We even looked on ebay cause we're thinking of getting Ryan a whole farm of peeing dogs.

Grad school orientation tonight. It was ok. Informative. Really happy with my decision. Really psyched about the ops management option I'm taking. So that's a good thing. School starts on Monday. Back to the books. Not much else on that right now.

The Hills, season 2, coming soon! LOVE that show. Like seriously love it. And although it was all supposed to be about LC, Heidi totally was the star. I'm loving the previews so far. I'm just hoping that's not the best they have to offer. I mean let's see, we love her boss at the magazine. Lisa Love? seriously? I'm not sure what she looked like in her younger days, but if in fact this is her real name, were her parents hoping she'd be a stripper? Was Crystal Chandelier taken? But the fact that she totally called LC out on her dumb decision to forgo freaking PARIS for a stupid greasy boy that had already broken her heart before? She deserves to be called out. So Heidi takes a pregnancy test... If you frequent the gossip sites, you'll know that they were only dating for like 5 minutes... Awesome. And, you gotta love that Brody Jenner dates LC for about the same 5 minutes so he tack on another extension to his 15 minutes of fame and be on the show. All I'm saying, is that thank god this show is on MTV and will easily be played 42 times a week since I have school that night.

Good night for now. Unless something totally random comes up which is entirely possible. Oh yeah. Check my links. Check Josh's blog. He's awesome and can find the coolest links to stories. And he always ends his rough and tough blogs by saying he's gonna watch Thomas the Train or Veggie Tales or some other kid friendly show. So you know it's good times.

Later..................

Day 2 and I'm still random

So, this is entirely more dangerous then I thought. This is literally the second day my account has been active and all day I find myself doing something, or hearing something, and thinking wow... I need to blog about that later. Am I lame? I think no but who really knows.

OK, so thoughts. I can't get over the cheesiness that was the marriage proposal after the Boise St/ OU game. And here's the funny thing. I used to be THE BIGGEST FAN of the public proposal. We're talking friends and family have long been instructed that when it looks like "he's the one", they are to not so subtly say ok, here's how you're gonna do it. But now, I'm thinking not so much. I'm kind of digging the sweet, unexpected utterly romantic gesture. I'm not sure I need the bed of roses, but something that's memorable for us and all that jazz. And I have no boyfriend... But I have this planned. Or not planned, but thought about...

Saw that the OC is being cancelled after this season. This should shock, um... NO ONE. How can you kill off the main character (the fabulous sluttiness that was Marissa... how on earth was she able to be so trampy, yet make girls feel like that's how you should be and it's ok. He'll totally respect you later. She also did wonders for that whole "he's a bad boy I can change him" fantasy that every girl has had at one point.) Ok, then they send Summer to Seth's dream college and all of the sudden she's petitioning to save trees? No thanks... And then, they move it to a night to compete with like Grey's Anatomy I think. SEE! I don't even know what night it's on anymore. That's how bad. And let me tell you, I LOVED that show. Like more then I should have been into a drama about high schoolers played by people my age.

Another TV show... My Boys on TBS. LOVE IT. Maybe because I have some really good guy friends. I don't know. But here's a question. How come every guy that meets a girl that's totally into sports and beer drinking and stuff is like wow... that's freaking amazing... and then is like yeah... some other guy is gonna be so stoked to meet you one day... Really annoying. Just saying...

Another thing I just thought of. Ok, clearly we all knew that Justin was the talent of NSync. Not afraid to admit that I loaded all of my cds into my IPod. But ok, who knew that Justin would turn out to be an unbelievable solo act? I mean we're talking not a lot of sucky songs coming from him. I'm just saying... and, I read today on one of the 900 gossip sites I have to surf daily, that he and Cameron finally may have broken up. And here's the thing. I love Cameron Diaz. So cute, good actress, the works. But I've just never dug them as a couple. Maybe I always hoped he and Britney would get back together. But that's just a pipe dream now cause also on the gossip sites, she may be checking into rehab. She's too much of a train wreck right now. it would be awful for him to do that at this point... Or would it? Maybe, he can be the hero and come in and save her... just a thought.

Ok, enough for me today... I'm sure I'll think of 100 more things that no one cares about tomorrow. :)

First blog

So, this is my first blog. Not sure who cares about the things I do, the things I say, but I think this could be kind of free therapy for me. We'll see I guess. So, I start grad school on Monday. A little freaked out, a lot excited. Just nervous I guess. I mean I'm not really a shy person, except the first couple days at something. I mean it's just new. And I adapt well, it's just scary kind of.

New years. It was fun. Nothing major. But good times. Went to the Cowboys game. They got smoked by the sucky Lions. But, can't beat free seats, lots of beer, and just having a good time. Went to Pappasitos after (YUM) then went to a party that night. I just think New Years isn't always a big deal. I mean I guess if I really had something I was psyched for, but really it's just another night out.

College Bowl Games - Seriously, has there really been a better game then the Boise St./OU game? Ok, so ESPN did a countdown tonight of the top 10 bowl games with amazing finishes. #1 was the UT/USC game from last year. Really? I mean ok, great game. Vince Young is AMAZING, the Texans should have drafted him. But seriously? #1? I'm not really sure. Maybe it's just cause the OU game is fresh in my mind but... I don't know.
