Hollyweird: Brad Pitt

I'd be like 100x more likely to go see this than 3.  I will probably watch MI:3 on  video at some point, but not becasue of Cruise, only because I've liked the previous 2 movies.  However, i would not hesitate to go see 4 if Pitt were in it!  Woo hoo for Brad Pitt!

Hollyweird: Brad Pitt

Does Brad Pitt have a new 'Mission'? Paramount is reportedly thinking about replacing Tom Cruise with Pitt for the next 'Mission: Impossible' film.

First public photos of baby Suri

 Well, at least she's real and she's not horrifying or malformed or anything.  If you want to see pictures of her, click below, it's a video and there are 3 shots that cycle throughout the interview.  Once you've seen 3 you've seen them all.  But, I have to say, Chandra, the morning entertainment news girl on my radio station said she thinks Suri looks like a boy, and she kinda does.  Hmmmmm, hopefully she'll grow into herself and they'll let her grow her hair out.

Blogger's quest ends with keys to house

 I should have thought of this.  I remember hearing about it and I remember hearing him on the radio when he had the Alice Cooper meeting.

I have a red paper clip. I have a pink one and a green one and probably a blue one.  I wonder what I can get for all of those.  Maybe a house and a new car and possibly a new career?  Whaddya think?  Can I do it???

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Happy Birthday to me!
 
Happy Birthday to me!!
 
 
Haa-aaapy  Biii-rthday  
tooo-oooo  Meeee-eeeee!!!!!
 
Happy Birthday to me!!!!
 
I had written this whole story and then realized I should say this at the front. 
I LOVE BIRTHDAYS!!!!!
I know many people who just don't care.  Some days that's how I feel, but then when it comes to be the day of, I LOVE it!!  I love celebrating, I love being the center of attention.  Most years I milk my birthday for at least a week, and sometimes a week before AND after.  Honestly, I'm an otter and I just love an excuse to party and laugh and enjoy life. 
 
(Otters are fun-loving, crazy, social butterfly people.  It's a personality test thing and it's out of 40 points and I"m a 38 otter.  Can you tell? )
 
Having said that, here is my story from this morning.  And, I hope there is more to come.  I know there are at least 2 birthday wishes in my inbox that I need to go check.  Be back later!!! 
 
So, this morning I got up and there was a note on the coffeemaker taped to a pack of Reeses Peanut Butter cups that said "Happy Birthday Sweetie" from my mom.  I thought "Oh, how sweet."  Then I went into the bathroom to shower etc. and taped to the top of the toilet seat is this little Koala "card" thing that says "When it comes to being a great daughter, you koala-fy" 
 
I LOVE Koalas. I have collected them for years. 
So, this was particularly cute AND funny. 
 
I thought this was it, I was good enough with that.  Then I had gotten ready and went out to my car to come to work and taped to my steering wheel is a little baggie with money in it and a note that says "For your Birthday Lunch."  She is the greatest sometimes!!
 
(Be sure to leave a comment wishing me a happy birthday!!)

Attention Stalkers!

I thought it considerate and prudent to give any friends or stalkers advance warning. 
My Birthday is on Tuesday! 
So, if you want to get me a gift  feel free to check out my Stalker-riffic list halfway down on the left.  I've got wishlists in a few places, go check them out.  I'll make sure they're correct this afternoon.  Let me know if you have questions!

In Her Shoes

Tonight my mom and I watched the movie In Her Shoes.  It was VERY VERY VERY GOOD. I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Good, redeeming, heart-felt, feel-good movie.
 
Synopsis from the website:
IN HER SHOES is the alternately hilarious and heart-rending story of two sisters with nothing in common but size 8 ½ feet. Maggie and Rose Feller are both best friends and polar opposites when it comes to values, goals and personal style.
 
 Maggie (Cameron Diaz) is a party girl who barely graduated from high school, recycles jobs as quickly as yesterday's newspapers and believes her biggest asset is her attractiveness to the opposite sex. Her recurring state of unemployment leaves her virtually homeless as she bounces between the sofas of her friends and relatives. With no confidence in her intellectual ability, she prizes makeup over books and has an innate talent for choosing the perfect accessories and clothes for any occasion.
 
 Rose (Toni Collette) is a Princeton educated attorney at a top law firm in Philadelphia. Her beautifully decorated prewar apartment is her haven from the outside world. With her nose perpetually to the grindstone, she struggles constantly with her weight and never feels comfortable in the clothes she wears. Her low self esteem regarding her physical appearance has left her dating life non-existent. Rose's one joy in life is shoes (because they always fit), but unfortunately she has few social opportunities to remove them from her closet.
 
 After a calamitous falling out, the two sisters travel a bumpy road toward true appreciation for one another - aided along the way by the discovery of the maternal grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) they thought was dead. Through their re-connection with their grandmother, Ella, Maggie and Rose learn how to make peace with themselves and with each other.
 
Personal note here, If you prefer a movie with good "eye candy" this has it.  It has Richard Burgi who I remember from Dawson's creek . . . at least I thought he was Dawson's dad, but it wasn't listed on imdb.com so I'm not sure.  He was Amy's ex-husband on Judging Amy and according to imdb.com also did some CSI and 24 work.  Okay, so I just did a bit o' resesarch and found out that they have a similar "look" but in fact are NOT the same guy, obviously.  So, he's in it and he's great, AND there is the cutest guy! Mark Feuerstein, who I remember from What Women Want with Mel Gibson.  He is WAY cute in this movie.  Great guy next door thing going on.  Okay, apparently I'm a little starved for affection and companionship right now.  Rather than blathering on anymore I'm going to link these up and post this and go to bed!! 
 
Another one of those movies that makes you wish someone in your family (certainly NOT yourself) would step up and be the peacemaker, make the first phone call, send the first e-mail (these days snail mail is a dinosaur ), do something to fix what is wrong.  Makes you hope that maybe someday, when that moment comes up that you CAN be the one who makes the phone call or does whatever is needed to fix it.  That was one of the best things about this movie, they were angry, they held grudges, they told the truth . . . sometimes.  But they worked past it and got back to the love and the blood that holds them together.  There is a phenomenally beautiful poem at the end.  If I had the energy and no headache, I'd go find it online so I could print it here, but that would sorta almost could ruin the end of the movie.  So, I'll just leave you to the movie and to enjoy it when you get there.  Anyone else seen any good movies this weekend?

Did anyone else see the Women's Snowboard Cross Olympic finals tonight?!?  AMAZING!!!  That is a crazy sport, should totally be included, is GREAT to watch and had a phenomenal, if bitter sweet, ending for us American's.  You should check it out if you haven't already.

My new Welcome

I'm honestly not always sure that people notice the little things here on my site.  And I was in a hurry.  So, I didn't mention my little welcome guy or where I got it from.  If you click here there is a whole site with all kinds of dancing things.  There's Chris Farley the stripper, Napoleon Dynamite trying to dance, Bush and Cheney doing a variety of dances and some other items as well.  That's where I got him.  If you need help figuring out how to put it up go to Hack MSN Spaces, click here for a direct link to the directions. He's GREAT!!  Have a great one!!!

Wonder if this works

OK, so I've seen other bloggers do this and I've decided to give it a shot. 
 
I've seen bloggers whine and beg for gifts from their readers.  So, I thoght I'd put out an explicit request.  I want to note that this is not likely to be answered by my four loyal readers (HI Mandy!!)  Or at least 2-3 of them.  Sarah could, but I don't think she probably would be able to.  But, in case anyone ever wants to buy me anything to cheer me up or anything check out my Stalker-riffic list. I have wishlists's on Amazon, one on Torrid.com and I would happily take anything from Bath & Body Works that is scented Moonlight Path.  
 
What brought on this request (see: Begging) you might ask?  I was sitting here watching Alias, 3rd season I think and I was thinking "God, I wish I had these box sets so that I could watch them from start to finish."  See that's because Alias has ben picked up in syndication or whatever and it's shown a couple of times on cable networks.  But never in order, not even the same seasons.  So, I wish I had the Alias box sets and the LOST box set and a ton of other stuff.  So, since I'm sitting at home, close to the toilet, feeling pseudo-sick and not quite wel enough to be running around, feel sorry for me!    Buy presents for me!!   I know it will make me feel better AND I'm sure it will help me get better faster!!
 
[Note: Yes, Sarah I am talking about you.  I only have 4 loyal readers and you are one of them, Ms. REAL Princess Sarah.    I should probably also note here that my initial prediction was that Angelina was pregnant with Jenny Shmizu's child.  I realize that technically that's not possible, but the humor value is WAY higher than it being Pitt's kid.  And, although the kid may have won the genetic lottery, s/he will NEVER EVER get a "normal" life to any degree in any way shape or form.]

Long time no see

Or write I suppose.  Well, not much to say.  Life has been average life.  I feel like I'm disappointing my Kelly since I know she has a routine that includes looking to see if I've written anything new.  Sadly, I haven't written in a week or two.  Just busy, tired, holiday time and haven't had the time to write down the funny stuff I've run across. So, I guess I'll just fill in the last couple of weeks and maybe add a few funny notes here or there.
 
So, I finished Dog sitting and went back home.  Where I belong, in my dungeon.  he he, anyway. I got a Gazelle just before Thanksgiving.  I haven't been on it much, but there are high hopes for next year.  Especially if I can figure out a way to get Tivo service.  Working on that.  Mom is fairly adamant, but maybe I can turn it.
 
Oh, I just realized something.  I gotta go.  Maybe I'll write more about the snowstorms preventing my sister and I from seeing each other . . . ever again.
 
Or, about my mom's Christmas wish to have someone open the Ibuprofen bottle for her
 
or, about the girl I saw in the mall wearing slip on sandals after 4 inches of snow and 15 degree weather.  Well, that's all there is to that story, but what the heck is that about!!!

I am 28% Idiot.
Ain't Too Bright
I ain't too bright. But all those other idiots annoy the hell out of me. I may not be the brightest bulb in the bunch, but at least I know my limits.

I love simple, goofy quizzes!!!!!

You Have a Sanguine Temperament
You are an optimistic person who is easily content.
You enjoy casual, light tasks - never wanting to delve too deep into anything.
A bit fickle, it's easy for you to change plans or paths when presented with something better.

You enjoy all of the great things life has to offer - food, friends, and fun.
A great talker, you can keep the conversation going for hours.
You are optimistic and sure of your success. If you fail, you don't worry about it too much.

At your worst, you are vain. You are obsessed with your own attractiveness.
A horrible flirt, you tend to jump into love affairs and relationship drama easily.
You're very jealous - which just magnifies the craziness around you.
 Okay, these last three items aren't so true about me . .. but maybe a little bit at the worst oftimes.
 
Guys Like That You're Fun
You're the type of girl guys brag about knowing
That's because you're cool, funny, and laid back
You're smart enough to know how to be one of the guys
But flirty enough to know how to make them all want you
Ahhhh, if only . . .
 
You Are Fun Sexy
You're funny, quirky, cute, and sassy.
Guys always have a great time with you, and that alone is sexy.
You've got an upbeat, optimistic spirit that totally shines through.
Any guy would be crazy to turn you down!
 
Ahhh, now that's more like it!!!

Sexiest Man Alive-People

So, People magazine has named their sexiest men of 2005.  Matthew McConaughey is top of the list.  So I read through the interview out of curiosity and a desire to get to know this guy better.  He's kinda . . . I don't know, like an unknown on his personal life.  We know his movies and his characters and of course his looks, but I've never heard much about his personal life, AND I forgot he is dating Penelope Cruz.  So, anyway, I read through this article and I am just totally not sure what to think of him.  On the one hand he is most definitely any woman's "dream man" but at the same time he's kinda weirdo creepy.  Like he said there is no lamp or clock on his bedside table, but there is a book AND a face and hand cream.  ?? Wait, did you just say handcream is on your bedside table???  Um, okay, sure, you don't keep your good looks by neglecting yourself . . . I guess. . . . very weird to me.  THEN people asked him to finish this phrase "It would surprise people to know" and his answer?  that I make my own face and body cream.  WHAT???  Okay, I get that you keep something in your bedroom, BUT YOU MAKE IT!!!  Okay, that is just a little weird.  And suddenly around that point of the interview my stomach that was all twitterpatted that such a "perfect" manly man could exist and still love women turned a little sour and suddenly he wasn't quite as great as he was before.  BUT WAIT, it gets better!!  So, then I click another couple of pages and THEN he's quoted as answering this phrase "a man should smell like" with this answer: a man, I haven't worn deoderant in 20 years.  WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT??????   Oh, my goodness.  There is smelling like a man and then there is smelling like you're going to make me puke on you.  WOW,  I am just flabbergasted.  Read the article yourself, I'm not lying at all!!
 
Okay, so he's still totally hot, I just don't think I would want to spend any actual time with him, I'd rather just stare.

Nope, no snow quite yet.  Although it is working on getting cold enough to turn this rain into snow soon.  Maybe tomorrow.  Today Kelly told me that if we have to deal with the cold then there has to be a really good reason for it, SO snow is a good enough reason for the cold of Wisconsin.  At least, that's what we've decided.
