home visit, unexpected shows & creepy hot flicks.

i went back to CT for almost 3 weeks, visited family, friends, my pupper nugget, all the usual suspects & i had a good time.

there was SO MUCH DAMN SNOW which i do NOT miss, living in Cali, but it was really good to see my peeps.

i had some super fun times w/ JenBunny, GiaPet, AmeCakes & my other bitties.

I took approx. 5 billion photos & videos of my doggie which i hope to upload... at some point...

& spent loads of time with my wonderful family.

since i've been back, there's some other things i want to talk about, that aren't as deep as things i've posted about in the recent months. (When i have the time... & energy...)


Pauly-D Obsession:

i hafta post this, bc i'm loling my ass off over it...

Medium vs. Real Housewives:

since it's start, i have loved the show Medium (ok, that's a lie, when it was first airing, i thought i was going to be avoiding it at all costs, bc it looked like something that was going to scare the shit out of me, but my Ma watched it & i started watching early into the first season). A few seasons ago, Kelsey Grammer appeared on the show as, ehem, Satan... which was also the first time that i realized he was the Executive Producer of the show. Then, of course, like any red blooded 24 year old chickie, I've learned from Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that Camille Grammer was behind a lot of the creation of the show.
THEN, on an extremely disturbing episode of RHWoBH, we meet the REAL Allison Dubois (the main character on Medium, for those of you that don't know what the hell i'm talking about!) & god damn, she was AWFUL!
Here's a link to part of the awful episode...

(Lemme also just shout out that i'm SO in luv with Lisa Vanderpump, i think she's possibly, my fav housewife OF ALL TIME!!! woo hoo Lisaaa!!!)

My question: Everyone that watches Real H.Wives of BH, or current celebrity gossip, knows about how shitty-face Kelsey Grammer totes fucked over the hot-ass Camille after 13 years of marriage, which basically made her internally break down during the whole season. - BUT, since the show Medium was a "pet project" of the couple, is their recent blow up divorce the reason behind the sudden, out of NO WHERE end to one of MY FAV SHOWS?!!? if so... i'm sorry Fraiser, as much as i may enjoy listening to you play the villainous Side-Show Bob on The Simpsons, & as much as your fucked up life choices may add some drama to one of my fav shows, i do NOT appreciate you causing a rift in my TiVo lineup! WTF?!!?

(PS: Spencer Grammer, i'm sorry your Dad fucked up... i still luv you & i still look forward to seeing your adorable face on Greek every Monday!)

Life Unexpected:

I was absolutely shocked when, toward the end of one of my regular shows, the screen went black & "Two Years Later" popped up on the screen... WHAA?! Then, after a quick, unexplained wrap up, Life Unexpected ENDED... rather... ehem... Unexpectedly?!?!
I mean... i guess i'm happy with where they chose to send the characters... but... it was a total cop out. It was LITERALLY like they had a regular show episode planned, then, funding was pulled? Ratings weren't great? Kerr Smith signed on to be in Dawson's Creek the movie? & all of a sudden, "Hey... guys... can you just, wrap it up in the last 5 mins? we're done with this one..." 
i'm totes disappointed.
-----> sad face.

Beastly:


I mean... do i even need to explain why i want to see this? Anyone who has spent 5 mins on this blog probably is WELL AWARE of my enormous attraction to anything funky, add an OLSEN to that & we are SO in business.

 
MK looks so fucking badass, it's ridiculous. It's supposed to be out in March & i cannot wait.

Black Swan:

Ya, duh i saw Black Swan, helloooo! I'll admit, parts of it freaked me THE FUCK OUT, but, i can't stop thinking about this movie & i really wanna see it again. Natalie Portman is a god damn UH-MAZING actress & i'm SOOOO stoked she won the Golden Globe & i can't wait to watch her (knock on wood) win her OSCAR!!! The film is nominated for best film & Darren Aronofsky is nommed for best director. i hope it's a sweep for the flick. i can't wait for it to be on DVD so i can watch it over & over! haha
Mila, i'm sorry you didn't win supporting actress! :( no Oscar nom for Mila is poopy. She should get a special award for chick i'd likely go super gay for. i mean, hello? i'm about as boy crazed as they come, but Mila is one crazy hot mama, fo' sho!
PS: on a terrifying side note, the night i saw the movie, i came home, was a little bugged out, wanted to distract myself, was doing my toe nails & all of a sudden, my toenail cracks & starts to bleed... next morning, i come out of the shower with a massive scratch on my shoulder blade... WHAAAAAA?!?!?!?!


Adam Sandler star:

I'd like to also say Congrats to Adam Sandler, who was given his Hollywood Walk of Fame star today. I was honestly surprised, bc i thought he would have gotten one a long ass time ago.

LA Football:

Apparently, they're building "Farmer's Field" in Los Angeles. an arena that will host.... well, honestly, all i really heard anyone definitively say was "fights", which i think was more of just a shout out to "Oscar" (De La Hoya?) who was apparently in the audience of the Press Statement? I don't know.. the whole thing was weird...
I mean, they talked about the reason behind the name, the high tech crap, this that, the other thing, how it will give reason to open a shit ton of hotels in downtown LA... uh... then, there was some stock footage of the... Olympics? which was odd... then, at the last moment of the news story, they mentioned a fleeting thought about "Oh ya... we'll prob end up getting a football team, at some point"... that'd be good, otherwise, you're gunna have to book some pretty badass concerts to fill your pricey hotels...
PREDICTION: Bazinga, my sports Guru who has taught me like almost everything that i know about sports (almost, i knew a lot before) thinks that maybe the Jacksonville Jaguars will move. (UNOFFICIAL PREDICTION - he said it as a possible thought, not any ink on paper prediction).

Blue Bloods:

i'm reading a new series of books that are actually WAY better than i thought they'd be.

Blue Bloods

I don't know if they're already planning to make a TV show or a movie(s) about this series, but, i honestly first thought of MK Olsen for the character of Schuyler (which i thought was more like shoo-ler until my Ma told me it was Sky-ler, & that Sky-ler was actually a family name of ours, sweet!) I guess i was wrong with my initial thoughts, bc it wasn't until i was mostly into the first book that i read she had blue black hair...? haha i was picturing a different look.
Also, i picture Jack Force to be played by Landon Liboiron... i dunno, i just see it. I'm thinking about my other predictions, but i think it could be a fun new game for me to play, to see if i can predict who would play characters in the movie. haha. i'd need help from others tho, tell me if you hear about a new movie being made that's not cast yet. Oooh, i can ask Mattman about what he knows, too. he's in the biz, he could let me know.

Ok. i think i've written WAY too much for this one post. i seem to keep going...

it feels good to be back, in a way. we'll see if i (fingers crossed, i hope i do) keep it up.

ps: JenBunny is coming to visit me. She'll be here next week. i'm soooo excited & we're 90% sure we're doing a semi-impromptu VEGAS TRIP! there will be more on this subject!!!

ANYWAY. i'm glad that i've found some time to write about a few topics.


I hope that you're all well.

The Wackness...

Straight to the top of my favs...

I'm sooo stoked for Josh Peck to be a serious actor (not that Drake & Josh isn't an awesome show...)

he is sooooo good in this movie & his relationship with Ben Kingsley is so genuine.

this movie is not only wonderful in content, but sooo beautifully made. I really wish that everyone goes & sees it & i hope that it gets noticed when it comes to award season, Josh Peck really does deserve a giant pat on the back from making the not so easy leap from slap stick Nickelodeon half hour comedy to serious acting on the big screen (look for him in 2008's Saftey Glasses starring alongside Hillary Duff & again with Olivia Thirlby, & 2008's American Primitive with my homegirl Stacey Dash aka Dionne from everyone's favourite flick Clueless!)

plus, look at cute hippie MK!

See the movie, support the "indie" flicks (always).

SoOoOoOoOoOoOo good

luvs it*

no luv for mk & b.spears :o(

So... i thought that one of my fav chickies got totally poopooed by the emmys!
Mk was submitted by Shotime for a best guest actress on a comedy for her 10 episodes in the 3rd season of Weeds (my absolute fav show!)
but... i guess they didn't dig on the olsen talent like i did. :o( sorry mk, i totally wulda voted for you!!!

mk played tara who dated hunter parish's character Silas

Also snubbed, my other homegirl B.Spears!!!

although i luvs me some britney, i was pulling for marykate, but brit was histerical on her episodes of How I Met Your Mother this season!

i luvs u gals, even if the emmys are buttheads!

silly goals...

SO, i just graduated w/ my associates degree (whoo hooo!) After 6 "short" semesters, i have a 2 year degree... whats wrong w/ this picture? hmmm

Normally, an event or milestone in ones life makes them think about goals they'd like to achieve in the near future. these might include

• Continuing on in the pursuit for higher education (in my case going on to get my Bachelors degree, for others Grad School, Masters, Med School... y'know...)
• Using their degree... in other words GETTING A FUCKING JOB. Becoming a 9-5er rather than working for peanuts as a waitress for the cheapest family restaurant in the damn town.
• Making an investment, some may buy an apartment or even a house, maybe a nice car or a few business suits.
• Making a valiant effort to start repaying all of those student loans before the good ol' interest starts to kick in too deep.
• Settle down, maybe pop the question to the college sweetheart, take that relationship to the next level & think about marriage, kids, grown up life
  

but... that's boring, plus i have to kinda put all of those kinda goals on hold for a little while. So i'm going to set some other goals. Some are realistic, some are a bit pricey perhaps & some are dreams that i WISH will one day be realistic.

Loooooong hair: I could just wait like a YEAR for my hair to grow grow grow, but since i'm so wicked impatient, i'm going to attempt to rock some super long extensions. Hey, if all the celebutants can kick it w/ the fake locks, than why can't i?! (wish me luck, hmm?)

Tattoo: i've been jones'n for tat #2 since about 20 mins after i got tat #1... (4 1/2 years ago!) The dilemma has been what to get... i realllly wanna get something meaningful to my sister & i & have us get ones that match, BUT unfortunately, we can't agree! i wanna get "XXVII" Roman numerals for 27, the date that both of our birthdays land on. She's "thinking about it"... If anyone reads this blog & can send me any images or links of symbols meaning "sisters" or "family" or anything like that i'd luvs u forever!

Sell some custom made trucker hats: So far the only owner of a "Spanky luvs it" Trucker hat is my bestie K. I gave her a sweet one for her bday. (i'll upload pics later)

Own a Christian Audigier hat/top/dress: The man is a design genius, i luvs his stuff, but WHY CHRISTIAN, WHY does it all have to cost soooo much!?!? My slight obsession with the Ed Hardy brand led to my attempt & surprising success in hand drawing classic tat designs of my own. Of course all this really led to was a pile of papers w/ random tat doodles & coloured pencils taking up a permanent residence on my living room table causing a luvly clutter for a few weeks until i moved on to something else, but i still don't own a $75 hat. poo.

but... i do have this hot little flask! (thanks mom for the flask u gave me for xmas, i luvs it!)


Meet Shia: Y'know luvs, i just saw Shia on Jimmy Kimmel live the other night & (my was he cute) he was talking about how he's a self proclaimed "internet geek". He talked about going onto imdb.com & checking the message boards on his profile & the pages of his movies. Naturally, this led me to go & look at what Shia had been reading about himself & i was tempted to leave a little note for him myself, but once i saw the frantic messages from millions of girls & also all the losers who have nothing better to do than to trash Shia, i didn't really want to put myself in the same arena. So how does a small town girl ever get to talk to her celeb crush? I guess the sad truth is, ya don't! If you write to them via fan mail, ur just another envelope that gets opened by some hired person who sends back a signed photo or some shit, if u write a mssg on a mssg board, chances are he won't see it & if he does, again, you're just another chick out there w/ a crush on a celebrity. ah well, maybe one day i'll be one of them, wish upon a star for some damn motivation & go thru some 12 step program for procrastinators & make it big! haha, y'know, me & all of those millions of other aspiring stars. :-P (wow, that's was awfully cynical!)

but serious, Shia, if you ever happen to read this, rock on babers! Indiana Jones was a riot. I dug the greaser look (even tho i myself prefer the "scruffy" model) & what can i say, like any red blooded american girl, i giggled like a school girl in a poodle skirt at the sight of those tough boy knife skills & ride'n that hog. mm, mm! luvvvvs it!

o, & umm, DUH, how fucking awesome does EAGLE EYE look?! too stoked for that one... it's gunna be a good year i'm think'n.

ps- maybe i'll see u at the NJ Jack Johnson 'cert :o)


-y'all, there's a really kool opportunity being made available to Jack Johnson fans. By signing up at JackJohnsonMusic.com you can apply to volunteer to work at the concerts on the summer tour. I myself jumped at the chance & applied right away for the New Jersey concert & have my fingers crossed that i'll get a spot. So, anyone luv'n Jack as much as me that wants to do some wicked chill volunteer work & get to rock out at a j.johnson 'cert FOR FREE, sign up bitches, see ya there! Thanks Jack for the awesome idea!


---got a little sidetracked once again on the Shia front, didn't i? right, back to my "goals"... so..


Get a better job: O, wait, that sounds oddly like a REAL goal, sorry. :oP



Learn how to use the nunchucks that my buddy matt got for me: got bit by the "Domino" bug & completely got stuck on the idea i was going to be a rockstar on the nunchucks, but to be honest, they kinda scare me & i have no idea what i'm doing!!! Do they make "Nunchucks for dummies"? Ok, so maybe i'll never be as good as Domino Harvey (or Keira Knightly..) but i can give it a shot! It'd still be pretty sick to be able to twirl that shit around & catch it behind my back & under my arms & at least ACT liek a crazy bitch! hahah I'll keep 'em in my caar & keep away all the creepers!

Build up my portfolio: My "not-too-bad-but-semi-amature" portfolio needs a little work if i even want to THINK about applying for art school, so there's that goal. That's actually not that silly, that's pretty legit & should be a blasty blast.

Write more songs: yes sportsfans, u heard me. how cliche, right? But it's true, & lately i've been listening to a bunch of old Beatles beats & god i'd luv to be able to write shit that inspiring. Little blonde chick from ct the next tripped out mystical lyricist... keep ur ears peeled!!!

My last & final goal (for now) - other than

• buy a new wallet (time to cash in the tired ol' hello kitty faux grown up wallet for a big girl wallet!)
• buy a camo t-shirt (my old one's no good... too small & looks dumb)
• lose that weight i've been talking about losing for months...
• learn everything there is to learn about bartending (& y'know, get a bartending JOB)
• have a hot luv affair - it's summer, time for some heat! (Shia?)
  
• sell my dreamcatcher & prints (cough cough on sale at twitterpatedpretty.etsy.com cough - buy something, help me w/ some of my more financial goals

anyway, my LAST & FINAL goal...

LEARN HOW TO GO TO SLEEP EARLIER!!! I can't be an insomniac anymore! Not if i wanna grow up!

o, right, before i forget... who watches greek? i totally do (shock!) did ANYONE catch the wicked clever Ferris Bueller reference? So Alan Ruck plays Dean Bowman, but everyone met & fell in luv w/ the 80's cutie pie as the neurotic but silly bestie Cameron Frye in Ferris Bueller's Day off... yadda yadda yadda... So as Dean Bowman gets into his hot RED CONVERTIBLE, he says, very plainly to his date "just one minute SLOAN".. haha luvd it.


Well babers, thanks for reading my inner most thoughts (ha) luvs u all!

luuuuuuuvs it*
