Know what Obama is saying...

Obama is saying..."sorry I had to kick your ass old man in that debate, but you been telling some lies lately, and I'm not standing for it."

OR, he could be saying..."which one of us should tell ColeyB that she better burn the Amex card 'cuz the belt buckling starts now."

Ok, so you know how people quit smoking and they struggle and get withdrawels and all kinds of shit?  Well, I'm going to have to go on a shopping strike.  I had a $160 dinner Saturday night and spent $160.00 on a purse today.  Fuck.  I'm bleeding cash like I'm Paris Hilton over here. 

I am pledging that the only thing I will spend money on in the next 14 days is food and gas.  I am not going to the grocery store except for milk for my hub, who drinks it like a toddler.   And gas.  And salad bar at work...and in 2 weeks I get my hair highlighted again...$160.00 fuck.

I'm going to have to sell some shit on Ebay.  That's all there is to it.  Time to liquidate some Coach bags. 

Alright...gotta go.  I'm depressed.  Fingers crossed that I make it on my self-imposed spending embargo.  Of course, I did buy 2 pairs of shoes yesterday to hold me over.  I'm ridiculous and should be shot.  If I was Catholic, I'd go to confession right now.  Instead I guess I'll log on Ebay.

Saddest Mug Shot Ever!

OMG...what would Aaron Spelling say about his 'lucky penny' now?

Poor Heather.  I mean, she really lost her shit when she lost Richie Sambora.  And since they now have his and her mugshots for the same offense...DUI...little AVA, their daughter, better get a fastracked driver's license or a really good bicycle.   "Cuz Daddy and Mommy don't drive so good."

I'm so sad about this.  I've loved her since she played Sammie Jo on "Dynasty".  Didn't watch TJ Hooker, but picked right up on Melrose Place.  

She's still so pretty, but I'm thinking a trip to have those roots tended to are in order, Heather.

Well, have a nice rebound trip to rehab.  Atleast you know what to pack this time.

Bummer. 

The Loss of a Hollywood Legend

When you lose a legend of the stature of Paul Newman, there's a different kind of sadness I feel inside.  It's really not just the loss of that one human I never met, but what he represented to me in my memories at a particular stage of my life.  My mother idolized him.  My dad loved Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.  I remember the Redford/Newman era and it was magical.

And both men went on in life to give back more than they ever took.  Newman's Own food brand has donated $171 - $250 (depending on which story you read) million dollars to charity over the years.  And Redford, of course, started Sundance Film Festival to give the Indies a voice, among other things.  So wonderful, these men. 

Does it make you wonder, who are the legends building a 50 year career right now?  Who are our Redfords and Newmans out there?  Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller?  Cameron Crowe and Ralph Fiennes?  Cruise?  Owen Wilson?  The only one I can think of is Tom Hanks.  I think he will carry us along a very good journey as he continues to make movies.  Let's just hope his "Turner and Hooch" days are behind him.

Project Runway - As Heidi would say...Let's Have A Little Chat

A couple of peeps have been disappointed that I wrangled you into subscribing to cable, and getting you fired up for Project Runway, then quit commenting on Wednesday nights.  I'm so sorry.  I have a couple of reasons...

1.  My internet connection went out at my house.

2.  I was too busy to get on the phone with tech support...I couldn't commit 2 hours to get it fixed.

3.  The show hasn't been that kooky this season, and I don't really have a favorite.  I mean, I didn't get emotionally attached at all to any of these weirdos.  

4.  I didn't really hear anyone asking me to comment, so I figured no one was watching.

5. I bought a Wii

I do remember Jeffro telling me "it's only money Cole, that's ok, don't worry about it."  And now Tink is on my ass to write about it, and when these 2 gang up on me, well it's a powerful force.

So here goes...

First, I spent 2 hours last Saturday on the phone with Julietttanina in the Philippines...and she was delightful...up to the point where she said, "Mrs. Bronn, I'm going to give you the number to the Apple help desk, because I believe the problem lies in your Mac."  And I say, "Hold on missy...you may be a card carrying member of the Sisterhood of Passing the Buck, but that isn't going to work for me."  Ok, maybe I just thought about saying that now, but what I did say was, "Nope, I just logged on at a Starbucks yesterday, and got access immediately, so the Mac is in good shape.  Now, let's get back to figuring this out. "  So, we started over, and this time she said, "is the box checked?"  And I said NO, and she said,  OMG, that's been the problem, who unchecked the box?  I said, "Not me, maybe my cat did it."  And presto bingo, it was fixed.

Heidi Klum was 50% good and 50% yuk on the Emmys.  Did she have to play up her sex stuff so much?  Ripping off her tuxedo?  Really?  Ryan Seacrest was the absolute worst of the lot.  He could not act his way out of a paper bag.  Dancing with the stars geek, Tom, is a weirdo, and Howie Mandel is ok.  Jeff Probst is too cool for school.  

Now on to Project Runway.

The only thing good about the show now, is we finally hate Kenley alot.  Everyone does and that makes for good tv.  I mean we have loved hating a lame person, since BJ Hunnicutt and Hawkeye made fun of Frank on MASH.  Frank was one of the original people to hate.  And Kenley's nasally voice is like fingers on a chalkboard...seriously.  I hate her Betty 50's look, and she's so fucking egotistical its insane.  Each week she ignores Heidi and Tim and each week they put her in the bottom, but keep her.  Why?  Because the bloggers and commenters are all being watched and read, and she has the most buzz.  Tim picked the fight with her...just for ratings, I tell you.  They edit this shit for drama.

I liked LL CoolJ.  He seemed pretty funny actually.  My favorite is still Heidi.  Her Minnie Mouse German accented voice...and her stunning eyes and legs.  She's magical. 

So, my pick for the winner is Jerrell.  I think it will be between him and Mousie Leanne.  Kyoto (Cat-O) will be in there, but I predict a stumble.  She's been great though.  However, that burlap tan jacket over that green and white dress, while it was made beautifully and very intricate, still was tan burlap.  TAN BURLAP.  OMG.  Itchy as shit.

Previews for next week show alot of tears hitting the carpet of the catwalk.  Are the judges being too harsh?  Are they wanting their own 15 minutes of blogger fame?  Will Michael Kors bust out in a jag of laughter, unable to stop his hideous gay man giggling?  Let's hope so because that was my favorite moment ever on this show.

xoxo,

New David Cook Music

Alert...
Click here...

http://www.popeater.com/music/article/exclusive-david-cook-turns-the-light-on/185647

Ok, I've had this blog for like 2 years now, and I just figured out how to hyper link.  Doh!

Ok, so the pic above of David Cook...me NO likey.  He looks like he's been sprinkled with fairy dust.  And photoshopped to death.  He's growing MINK fur on his face.  Every hair is in place and highlighted better than my own locks. 

I want the grit back.  Not the fake grey eyes that look kind of dead to me.  Even Chris at work said he thought he looked a bit gay.  Or I believe the exact quote was "he looks like he would have been in POISON in the 80's.  LOL.  And if they give him 'guyliner' on tour like they did Chris Daughtry, I'm going to be upset.  

I think this photo is a little space cruiser David Bowie - ish.  I just don't like it...did I mention that.  By the way, you have to listen to the song 4 times minimum to start to like it.  But I have to give this round to David Archuleta because his single is awesome "Crush".  I love it.

Clay Aiken Gets Personal and Out of the Closet

My opinion on this revelation has been requested, for which I am honored. I'm not sure what people think I would say, so I hope I shock some of you and not others.

For me, I long for the day when we are sexuality-blind...much like we long for the day of color discrimination to cease and desist. I've always said...there's no NATIONAL WHITE GUYS organization. Nor is there a club for those that like it man/woman style, and I didn't understand why persons of color wanted to segregate themselves into the NAACP...when they were fighting so hard to desegregate. And I know there is a need to band together for a good cause...much like GLAAD rallies for Gay rights, but there are heterosexual people along side them fighting the cause as well...and I'm one of them. Likewise, I do not think religious marches by Christians serve the cause. No one likes any ideas shoved down their throats. Not communism marches in Cuba...or Scientologist in LA. Or Hari Krishna at the airport. Don't tell me what to think.

I often say "when you stop shouting at how different you are, you will no longer be seen as different." I don't go shouting that I am a heterosexual white woman...and I know it's because I'm not subject to discrimination and have all protection and benefits under the laws of the land. So, I don't mean to trivialize it. I just think covers of magazines proclaiming your lifestyle only raises the "OMG" factor of people coming out of the closet, and I guarantee you, the publicity a star as small as Aiken is, keeps stars at the level of say Seacrest or Clooney, buried very very deep in a closet, buried beneath lots of coats and old winter scarves. They don't want the attention, so they get the casual girlfriend and move on. And yes, I believe both of these men are gay, and yes I am sad that they cannot be free in their spirit and live life everyday with a big secret burden on their hearts. But America would never embrace Clooney seducing a woman, knowing he prefers men. It would kill his career. He's the modern day Rock Hudson, who was the lady's man of the 50's/60's and had Liz Taylor in many a romantic clutch.

So, for Clay. I think it was brave, and I think it's going to do alot for Gay Rights and Awareness, and move people a step closer to saying, hey, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to judge or stereotype because he's cool. Think about it...the more youare exposed to any new ideas, the more you become familiar and comfortable with them. I mean, I had never ever considered pineapple on a pepperoni pizza, but you know, the more I had i,t the more I liked it. Ergo...Gays and Pineapple...2 good things.

I've never made it a secret that my sister is gay. She is raising 2 adopted boys with her partner. It's as normal as June and June Cleaver around there. Go to soccer, clean up your room, play video games, eat your dinner...blah blah blah. And guess what? Their friends don't even flinch that they don't have a dad. It's just the way it is. And they tell kids they have 2 mommies because they are adopted...where they got that idea, we don't know, but they run with it. It's like adopted kids bonus out in their eyes. Funny huh? But that's the purest example of the innocence of children...atleast at that age they are not so quick to judge...and whereever in life we pick up the "judging gene" is a bad spot in life, if you ask me.

Ok, preaching is over. Except those in California, I urge you to consider voting NO on Prop 8, which is the proposition overturning the Supreme Court legalization of Gay marriage.

xoxo,
I've posted the E! Online article below:

Believe it or not, Clay Aiken's closet-busting revelation took some members of the Claynation by surprise.
And, for the most part, the surprise has been deemed a good one.
"We'll 'talk' more later, but, suffice it to say, for the first time in recent memory, I am speechless," the 29-year-old wrote on his site's members-only message board in response to the support received from fans following his coming-out proclamation in People.
"I'm so proud to know and love all of you...My family is so much larger than Parker, Jaymes, mom, Brett, etc.," the new father continued. "It extends to each of you. And I couldn't be more blessed."
Even Simon Cowell got in on the act.
"Wow, that's a shock. It's like being told Santa Claus isn't real—unbelievable," the American Idol judge told Extra, before turning serious.
"Good for him...it's the right thing for him," he said. "I don't think anyone cares. Let's face it. It's 2008."
Equally quick to join in on the supportive act were GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano and Executive Director for the Family Equality Council, Jennifer Chrisler.
"We congratulate Clay for making this decision and for setting an example for others and his family," Giuliano said. "As we're seeing, more and more gay people, including celebrities, are living openly and honestly, and this has tremendous impact in terms of creating awareness, understanding and acceptance."
Chrisler also applauded Aiken's announcement, likening its impact to that of another road-paving celebrity admission.
"Much like Rosie O'Donnell, the announcement that Clay Aiken is gay reinforces a simple reality: The American public can no longer say it does not know a gay or lesbian parent," she said.
"Clay Aiken's desire to raise a child in an open and honest manner will make his life, and his son's, all the better. We hope he and his son find all the happiness they deserve, and the Family Equality Council will work toward the day that Clay and Parker Foster Aiken can enjoy the same rights as other American families."

Breaking News: I beat my husband 6 games to 2 at Wii Pool

I am a certified Nintendo Wii pool shark.  I whooped my hubby's ass tonite.  And he wouldn't stop playing until he beat me.  It took 8 games for him to finally win his second one.  

Oh yeah, I'm a bad ass mo-fo on the Wii.  

Ok, and I'm also extremely sore and threw my shoulder out playing tennis.  I have Wii-tunnel...carpel tunnel of the Wii-mote.  

And my husband is such a little boy.  If you buy the Wii Play game to get an extra wii-mote, there is a game where you race a cow and try to mow over scarecrows.  And you can speed up the cow or run him into bushes and he had to jump hurdles...like in track and field.  I couldn't stop laughing.  OMG, I love this Nintendo Wii.

I also bought the Wii Fit.  I'm too sore to plug that back in.  The tightrope walker game cramped up my calves too much, I have to recover.  What a blast.

Well, more tomorrow.  I'm going to buy some games at work.  I may have to kill some TivoTV to fit in Wii playtime.   I can't believe I have worked at a video game company for longer than I care to admit, and this is my first purchase of a game console, beside my Nintendo DS.  I'm officially a gamer.  Well, I guess I always was online at Pogo.com, but for some reason, that doesn't count when you don't have a game console controller in your hand.  

Did I tell you I played Rock Band a couple of weeks ago?  That was fun.  I'm a spaz so they only let me play bass on the 'easy' mode.  But I "rocked the Kazbah".  For reals.

Must C TV - ColeyB's Guide to the New Fall Television Season

Today is the equivalent of the Oscars for me. It's Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday. The day the real celebrities come out to play, in my opinion. So what if it's the small screen...it's the only screen that comes to my living room each week and spits out stuff that makes me laugh and helps me forget I just put 67.00 of gas in my car. No big screen celebrity does that each week. They barely work for me...2 hours max at 10.00 a pop. TV is practically free when you divide the minutes of viewing by my DirecTv bill. Hell, as much as I watch, I'm surprised they don't pay me. In any case, people...my point is that tv celebrities work MUCH harder at entertaining you, and you cannot dispute they bring you more entertainment...period...than those overpaid egos that make 2-3 movies a year. Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell DO NOT count in this rant. They paid their dues on the small screen. I admit...those movie celebs are all good and everything, but I ask you? Who would you rather be with right now on a deserted island? DiCaprio, Depp, Crowe, Cruise....or Jon Hamm? Umm...I'll give it to anyone that said Depp because he is rock solid hot, but Jon Hamm...he's fresh. Even my husband likes him...because he's cool. Whatever, look at that body and those eyes and that smile and that humble shy personality. OMG, he's the whole package, plus bonus wrapping.

Alright, so this blog post is about tv shows busting out the new season this week. I purchased the PREVIEW OF NEW SEASON Tv Guide, just so I could give you guys a thorough view of it all. Now listen, if I don't like the show, I'm not talking about it. So all you LOST, Law and Order, CSI freaks...I don't watch it. If people aren't sleeping together, or making me laugh, or both, I don't watch it...or it's reality, and of course, I watch that...but not all of it.

So without further ado, let me just walk you through my TIVO Season Pass Manager and you will know what I have selected as my MUST C TV this year.

MONDAY (A very full night, so no one better phone me, unless they like my voicemail message)  

New Show:  Worst Week Sam, main dude, can't catch a break at trying to impress his fiancee's family.  (Father is "Red" from That 70's Show)  Sam shows up at his fiancee's family's house nearly naked, accidentally urinates into a pot containing a long-marinating goose, then sets a painting on fire.  That's all in first episode.  Yowza.

Gossip Girl  

Two and A Half Men

Samantha Who?

The Hills

TUESDAY

New Show:  The Mentalist - not watching but like Simon Baker.  This is not my type show, but looks good.  Let me know what you think, if you watch.

Fringe- also getting rave reviews...but I already watch 24 and my heart cannot take much more. This is X-Files meets Alias meets Star Trek meets Lost.   Since I watched none of these critically acclaimed shows, why start now?  J.J. Abrams directs.  Should be worth watching, so tell me what you think.

To sum it up, it looks to be laundry night, or watching what I didn't have time to watch from Monday.  No, I will not be watching 90210.  Already, I am right on this one.  No one...including Marilyn at work, who I credit for turning me on to Gossip Girl, likes 90210 and it's already reached "DELETE" status on many Tivo's.  For me, I've already had to delete Privileged.  Now I liked this show at first, but 2 wks in...and I'm bugged.  Anne Archer has collagen implants, you'd never recognize her from Fatal Attraction.   The daughter from Reba is good, but meh...

WEDNESDAY:

New Show:  Stylista:  Reality alert...it might as well be called 'The Devil Wears Prada: Reality Show"...competition to get an editorial assistant position at Elle Magazine...and this bitchy woman is the judge..guidance advisor...herder of the interns.  Could be good replacement to help my Project Runway withdrawals.  

 DIRTY SEXY MONEY  Oh yes baby, it's back.  This is my favorite show in the lineup that I missed due to writer's strike.  I almost love this more than Gossip Girl.  

'Til Death I love Brad Garrett from his Raymond Days and Jolie Fischer is hysterical.  This show never disappoints.  Neighbors are funny too.  

THURSDAY:  Now here's a night when you need 2 TiVOs and a pot of coffee to stay up late to watch it all.

New Show:  KATH & KIM Molly Shannon and Selma Blair  Enough said...I love MShannon.

My Name Is Earl

Ugly Betty

Survivor: Gabon

Grey's Anatomy

The Office

30 Rock

ALSO, SPECIAL ALERT.  Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday will be airing on Oct 9, 16 and 23rd...leading up to the Election.  OMG, so funny.  And then SNL Presidential Bash will air on Election Day eve, Nov. 3.  Jon Stewart and Colbert will also be Prime Time to join forces on Election Night,  Indecision 2008, which will be one hour live.  

FRIDAY:

NEW SHOW:  The Ex List  This has the chick that was Rebecca on Grey's Anatomy that had the nervous breakdown...the lady that had her face rebuilt and freaked out.   In this show, she is told by a psychic that if she doesn't marry within the year, she never will.  

SATURDAY:  They didn't even list it!  Nothing on but SNL. 

SUNDAY:  

New Show on CW:  Easy Money  It's a Dramedy (drama and funny).  Stars Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne) and here's the description:  Times are tough ---even for folks who are in the money.  The odd man out in the close-knit Buffkins family clan, Morgan Buffkin is the sane glue that bonds this nutty bunch.  how nutty? The Buffkins live a double life, hiding their wealth from their neighbors while walking a muddy ethical line with authorities.  They're not criminals, but the legality of their work is well, iffy.  They're kind of the underbelly.  

Entourage

MadMen

The Amazing Race

Desperate Housewives

MID SEASON REPLACEMENTS:  As you know, the tv freaks know that some of the new shows will bomb.  Did you know that there are 50% less new shows this season due to the writer's strike.  What this means is that some shows that sucked last year, would have normally gotten the axe...like Denise Richard's It's Complicated.  Rumor has it, she is cancelled.  I digress.  In looking at mid-season replacements... there's nothing to talk about.  Only Amy Poehler's comedy in development is peaking my interest, and they are being tight-lipped about it.

Cable:  There's a new vampire show on HBO called True Blood.  Looks like a darker Buffy the Vampire Slayer...I didn't watch that...but Anna Paquin (Oscar winner for The Piano) stars.

Whatever, Martha!  Martha's daughter, Alexis, sits with a cohost and mocks footage of her mom from her shows.  They make fun of her.  Huh?  Not sure when it airs, but I will be adding Kathie Griffin: My Life on the D-List, and Keeping Up With the Kardashians.  

Ok, so that's it.  Whoo Hoo!  I've got to make a pot of coffee now...the Emmy's are on in like an hour.

David Cook Vlog (Video Blog)

He's so cute.

NOVEMBER 18 - VERY IMPORTANT DATE...

NO, it's not the premiere of the new season of American Idol. But almost as good...the release date of DAVID COOK's new album. I'm already calling in sick...
Somebody has a new picture for her CUBE!!!
Here's the story from E!:
------
Some rock-solid news regarding the rock-heavy release from reigning American Idol champ David Cook: His debut album finally has a drop date.
The 25-year-old's as-yet untitled album is set for release on Nov. 18, his label, 19 Recordings/ RCA Records, revealed this morning.
The announcement of the album's release coincided with the launch of DavidCookOfficial.com, which, as the site's name implies, is the official website of the newest Idol and the go-to source for his written and recorded blog musings.
As for the album, Cook has been busy recording the tracks over the summer in between gigs on the American Idols Live! Tour, which wrapped this weekend. The album's first single is also due out in the next few weeks, though the title has yet to be unveiled.
Last month, the reality-show crooner confirmed he was working on the album with well-connected producer Rob Cavallo, whose previous collaborations include a host of cred-heavy acts such as Green Day and Kid Rock, among others.
Meanwhile, yet another battle of the Davids is shaping up to take place this fall, with sources telling E! News that David Archuleta, who has already announced his album will be released in November, may pencil in his debut for the same day.

-------
Why are they continuing the David battle? Why? Cook won. Although I do loves that CRUSH song from Archie, and well, of course, I will buy the whole damn album, no doubt about it.

Happy Monday...now go visit DAVIDCOOKOFFICIAL.com...because it's official. This is THE website. Bye now.

Quote of the Day

"In spite of what you see …in the newspapers, and on shows like The View — I don't know if any of you saw The View yesterday, they picked our bones clean — "  Cindi McCain, on her appearance with her old man on The View last week.

You know, all we need is a Secretary of State that looks like Kate Jackson, and we'll have fucking Charlie's Angel's in the White House.

Jeez.  I mean I am all for woman and all that, but these woman are embarrassing me.  They aren't behaving like Nancy Pelosi or Diane Feinstein.   They are sort of like Hooters girls that suddenly won a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket to Washington.

Here It IS...Tina "Palin" Fey on SNL. Priceless

OK< you have to go to Saturday Night Live's website now. YouTube killed it.

Hurricane y IKE s!

Early disclaimer: I have hurricane watch fatique so please excuse the typos and such. I've been watching Hurricane Yikes coverage for 36 hours straight. I slept for 6 hours last night.

People, my hometown, where little Coley sprouted, took a direct hit to the cahones. It was so unbelievable to see my old stomping ground getting battered to death. I grew up in Texas City, TX, just a little town north of Galveston. Like 3 miles across the water "as the crow flies". By car, since Galveston is an Island...little known fact...it takes about 15 minutes. So, the point I'm trying to make is Ike bowled a STRIKE on Texas City.

All my family smartly evacuated, except one dumb cousin. All are safe and accounted for. So, all the cell phones were jammed, and I sent my dad a text message today. He texted me back...and said "hey, I got my first text message." He didn't know his phone got text messages. he thought he had to own a blackberry. LOL I said "Dad, don't you watch tv and see all those commercials who's parents are mad at their kids for over texting and the bill is too high?" I also had to teach a friend how to put my email address in his blackberry so that it would stop sending my messages into the junk folder. I've just been Professor Cell Phone today.

The saddest loss of the Hurricane was this really cool restaurant over the water in Galveston called the Balinese Room...decorated like Bali...and it has been there for nearly 80 years...and it's gone. Listen to the people who performed there...The Marx Bros., Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett...the best of the best. It was built and run by gangsters back when gambling and booze was illegal, so they built this really long foyer leading over the water to the restaurant/club. So, when the maitre'd saw the cops raiding the place, he called back to the kitchen, who told the band to start playing a certain song, and all the tables immediately were flipped over, and redressed for serving dinner, before the cops could catch them. Legend has it, they never got shut down or fined. NEVER. Try to Google it. If they have pictures. Very cool. Also, if yoiu watched any coverage, the mayor of Galveston hunkered down in the San Luis hotel, where I went to my High School Senior Prom, and we ate dinner at the Balinese Room before the prom. So sad. Just some little trivia scoop for you.

So, in an effort to make myself feel better, I went out to Macy's and bought my Fall/Winter wardrobe, which will take me until the time to buy a Spring wardrobe to pay off. You know, I have lost my love of shopping. I mean I still like it, but I don't like the effort it takes any more. So, in one fell swoop, I bought 4 sweaters, some shirts, couple pairs of pants, a jacket, and 2 pairs of shoes. Done. I hope everyone likes them because I'm throwing away all the clothes I used to wear. Sick of them. Actually, I donate them to a church family. One day I saw the lady wearing one of my sweaters, and it made me feel really good. You never know what happens to your stuff at Goodwill, but I know the church ladies like my style. Ha ha.

I'm going to try to sell some stuff on Ebay. I keep hearing all these people buying stuff on Ebay, and I've bought stuff, not clothes, but still, I like the idea!

Hey, been meaning to tell you about this show I am watching on YouTube. Let me just put a linky-dinky doo in the old blog for ya', save you some time. The IT Crowd is the name, and below is the first 1/3 of the first episode. You have to go onto YouTube and search The IT Crowd for the rest of them. "IT" by the way stands for the computer geeks in the corporate world who come and fix your computer. What does that stand for? I- Intel T- Tech? Internet Tech? Intellectual Tech? Inferior Social Skills Tech? I don't know. Anyway, if you like British humor, or Office Space, or geeks, this is one for you...hysterical.



Enjoy your weekend. I've got to go nap now.

Oh, I almost forgot. My favorite moment of the entire tv viewing week was on Project Runway when Michael Kors said something in a critique and Heidi Klum said "Ooohhhh, dat's reeeallly baaaaddd.." in like a kitten whisper. It was hilarious. And I find myself saying it all the time. Like I was shopping and saw a hideous blouse, and I went "Oh, dat's reaally baaaddd."
I bet you can Google or catch this week's show on reruns.

Speidi at FaceBreaker party for new EA game

Hey nerds,

Here's a pic from the launch party for the new EA Facebreakers Celebrity Showdown video game. You actually get to play and punch Spencer Pratt or Heidi Montag...well the video game version.

OMG, I can't wait to play it.

Look at Brody at the bottom pick. MM MMMMM Good.

Nothing going on here...not a darn thing

I am officially in the post summer dumps...the doldrums...and the election isn't helping. I'm bored. I hate all this political crap. Also, I feel like it's a sign of my age, but I actually care about issues...social security, the fact that I owe more on my house than it's worth. Yikers. I can't even think about it.

Also, my job creeps me out. When I have dreams of telling people how I really feel about them, that's a problem. Seriously, I had a dream last night of telling this person at work how I felt about them. Wow, I hate that. My work invading my nightly dreams where I usually dream about swimming in chocolate milk, or having sex with Brad Pitt. Actually, last week, Ashton Kutcher and I were engaged. Where the hell do dreams come from? In any case, he was pretty sexy. I won't question it.

So, whatcha been watching on tv? Are you excited about the new season coming up? Oprah has the Olympians on. I'm done with her though. I love Project Runway still, but am sad that *SPOILER ALERT* if you have it Tivo'd close the blog now!!! I'm sad that the drone voiced Princess of Goth Stella is out. I loved her dog eyed pale face dead voiced self. No more leather corsets or using the hammer to install grommets in the crotch of some crazy pants. I can't believe Suede is still in...or Tanorexic Blaine.

Well, more tomorrow. It's Friday after all.

LOL The Best

Thank you Perez Hilton.com where I ripped this off.

Hurricane misses Texas City...Daddy is Safe

Well, my Dad has put away the motor home. No evacuation. My little town, 15 minutes from Galveston, just south of Houston, on the Gulf Coast is just gonna get a ton of rain and some wind gusts. He's keeping the windows boarded though. So, dodged that bullet.

It's Labor Day. I'm gonna go shopping I think, up in Napa. To the outlets. I need some shoes. And, I know you are gonna think I am weird, but I have this crazy need to go buy this milk I saw featured on a tv show last night. It's raw milk from a Jersey cow dairy in Watsonville (near Santa Cruz). And they carry it at Whole Foods. Clavadelle? Or something like that. Anyway, it is pure straight from the cow, not pasteurized or homogenized. It looks like liquid ice cream. But actually, here's the weird part. I HATE MILK. I've never swallowed an entire glass in my life, and that's the God's honest truth. My husband drinks 2 gallons every 10 days. No kidding. But I just want to see what raw milk is like. I want to hold the bottle and check it out. Isn't that weird? I'm just so curious about stuff. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I watched the show.

Well, I have one task to do today. And I'm going to go ahead and put it out there, so that I feel like I really have to do it. I need to figure out how to make the DVR recorder work...the one we bought 2 years ago and have NEVER used. NEVER. It's just sitting there, plugged in, and we know hubby plugged it in wrong, because it did not record on the DVD, what was on the VHS tape. Instead it recorded OVER the VHS tape what was playing on the tv. Not good. Erased his favorite old movie he was trying to record onto DVD. OMG, I thought he was going to burst into freaking tears. It's a movie you can't even buy (I know what you are thinking, it can't be that good if some studio isn't trying to make a buck off it, right. exactly. But let's just keep that to ourselves...and not remind him that we have been married 13 years and he has never mentioned or watched said movie...no sense in throwing logic into this tragic loss of cinematic wonder...I digress)

And now I officially have 3 knitting and crochet projects started. I am such a skitsophrenic mess. I can't finish anything. Except laundry. I'm good at that. I love my new washer. Love it.

Oh, I bought a new toy yesterday. A mini Craftsman Shop Vac. Car sized. I decided to stop spending money at car washes just so they could vacuum my car. 30.00 for a vacuum and that's only 1 and a 1/2 car washes...at 20.;00 a pop. So that a real money saver. Unfortunately, I used it in the house on the cat litter and junk and wore myself out, never making it to the car. Scared the bejeezus out of Sophie and Bella. Poor cats.

Well, it's 8:00 am. Been up since 6:45. What's funny is tomorrow is a work day and it will take a stick of dynomite to get my ass out of bed by 7:15. Ha.

TONITE IS THE SEASON PREMIERE OF GOSSIP GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!! CANNOT WAIT. CANNOT.
