The new thing I learned today

It is said that you learn something new everyday and while it may not be the key to ending hunger, I thought what I learned today was amazing. Julian McMahon (aka Christian Troy on Nip/Tuck, and Doctor Doom on Fantastic 4) is Australian! I guess I never have heard him in interviews before because when I saw something on him on Perez Hilton's website (again- don't judge- it's my secret shame!) I was taken aback. His father was a politician or something. Plus not only was he married to Brooke Burns for two seconds, but he was also married briefly to Danni Minogue (yes Kylie (Locomotion) Minogue).

I'm at home, trying to clean my apartment. Mainly because just the other night before I fell asleep there was a show on about Hoarders and it scared me. I feel like I accumulate so much stuff so fast and I don't want to just throw it out, but I must. In fact, on to more boring information, I have decided that I won't buy any cosmetics/beauty products until I use up what I have. It has been hard, but I am sticking to it. Less clutter. Save the bathroom, save the apartment.

I went up for Hobo Days parade and caught the last seven minutes, but in my defense I had already gotten ready for the time change and was actually an hour early in my head (just kidding- I was late!) Then I had the girls for the afternoon. I got pumpkins from Lewis (because of proximity), two big ones and I got a little one for Samantha to carry. While Sam was napping, I made Taylor watch The Adam's Family movie. She really didn't get it at first- but I explained it and she ended up really liking it. We carved the pumpkins, this was the first year that Taylor did the face carving all by herself- and she did awesome.


Oh- and I just watched Hoot. It was really good. It was Hoot or Saw- baby owls or torture- it was a tough call.

I just have to put in my favorite new quote- it is from The Soup on E! Joel McHale is talking about 'To Catch a Predator' on NBC after they just showed a fake clip promoting it as a comedy.

"Did you see all those Indian guys?" "Now we're even outsourcing our perverts!"

I almost peed when he said that, because it is so true- there are a lot of foreign men who show up at those houses. (Although I haven't watched it this season)

Goodnight

Why I am glad I don't have any children

Because if my children did what these two children did I would kill them. Really, I would! I can't believe that two young children can do that much damage- in my mind I am seeing the young Earl and Randy from My Name Is Earl, but even they wouldn't have done this much damage.

I have been having a good week so far. My mom is having a pity breakdown, she feels so helpless with her new knee hurting. She cried on the phone with me for about fifteen minutes. I'll have to get her a card and hang out with her this weekend, my poor mom.

Lost's 'Every Man For Himself' was on tonight. It was good- Sawyer sure got the shit beat out of him. I admit, I really thought that they had put a pacemaker in Sawyer- first it was 'Naaa' then I got suckered. A side-story that seemed out of place was the Desmond saving Charlie/Claire and the baby from being struck by lightning. Is the new character (name I don't remember) of S.R.'s(intials because I always misspell his name- I might just call him Love Actually hottie) an asshole or what. Is he trying to be the new It guy now that Sawyer and Jack are out of the picture? Taking ownership of the golf clubs signifies that to me.


Well- life is going good- can't really complain about anything. I'll be up in Brookings tomorrow for class and a night of Survivor. But no Grey's Anatomy- I am seriously considering making an 'I Hate Grey's' blog. I watched it the first year every once and a while and I tried to give it a chance, but I really don't like it. What makes me sick is how everyone just thinks it is the best thing since sliced bread. All the characters irk me- especially 'Choose me' Meredith with her raspy stupid voice. Man, I'm getting enraged just typing about it!! Plus, not since Two and a Half Men has my love of an 80's icon gone so far south. Yes I am talking about you Duckie and Can't Buy Me Love Boy! Watch vintage or new ER- it has sex, different races, humor, and most of all heart and soul- which Grey's never has had and never will. Alright, enough about my anti-Grey's. Let's talk about how much I hate Desperate Housewives!

Further Instructions

What about Lost tonight?
Nude Psychic Desmond- check
polar bear burned with hairspray torch- check
Locke past involvement with growing and selling drugs revealed- check
Weird connections between the Ecko, Locke and Desmond- check
Old (new) survivors of crash questioning Hurley- umm not check

If I was on an island with Santino Rodrigo I would notice. To try to sneak them in is lame. Lame lame lame. Would Kate not have noticed him- don't think so!

I wasn't thrilled with tonight's episode- oh well! not every one can be a winner. Speaking of winner. Jeffery won Project Runway- which is alright I guess. I really loved Michael's designs during the show, but he didn't bring his A game in the finals. I saw some of the outfits on Bravo's website a couple weeks ago and was disappointed and I knew he wasn't going to win. For me it was between Laura and Ulle.

Anyway- I'm going to bed- see ya!

Have you ever been head butted?

Well- it hurts, even when you get hit with a four year-olds head. I got hit on the bridge of my nose today at work accidently by a child and I thought my little nose was going to fall off. I'm still convinced that it will bruise- but there really are no signs yet that it will. It is just really sore and feels higher than usual. Well that was a highlight of my day!

I went to class today and then over to my parents' to watch Survivor Pearl Island. The immunity challenge was something else tonight- the way that those girls had to balance themselves was frightening to me- not found of high unstable places. Then when all of the tribe memembers had to be on top of the tiny platform that was the last straw- who comes up with these ideas? Even a circus act would have had a hard time doing that.

Anyway now I am watching the new Earl episode I recorded- I'm happy it is focusing on Randy. The cat (Sebastian) looks just like my cat Hella- (yes I named my blog after a cat- but don't you judge me damn it!) Speaking of crazy cat stuff- I got her a outfit for Halloween which is basically just a little pumpkin hat. I tried it on her tonight- she wasn't too excited. I included a recent picture I took of her- she was trying to wrestle the camera out of my hands and was getting ready to pounce. Anyhoo- I have to finish Earl and then go to bed and nurse my 'broken' nose

Check out my friend Dayna Collins in the Las Vegas Band Killjoys

My close friend and former roommate Dayna is in a band in Vegas and here is the site- it has some songs so you can hear her awesome voice. I'm going to get a picture up as soon as possible.

Right now I am planning on watching Heroes on my Media Player and then going to bed. Not only did my niece turn 3, but I just celebrated my 3 year anniversary at work (holy committed Batman!)

Shortbus

Why do I feel the desire to see this film? I worry a little bit about myself because of that. The idea of seeing people really having sex and real acting is the draw I guess. My viewing of pornagraphic movies is very limited, but I have always been disappointed in the lack of acting. That is probably what guys like most about it- but I have to have some sort of a story or what is the point? Anyway I probably won't see it.... unless I find someone to go with me- which would be who?....

I am going to go to The Devil Wears Prada tonight though. I just want a night out of my apartment for once. I really don't know where my weekends go so fast- it really takes my breath away.

I went up to Brookings yesterday for my niece's 3rd birthday celebration. It was fun and she got about ten million things with Elmo- but not the new TMX Elmo. I have been searching SF for them and no luck. I also tried searching to find a child-sized rake (plastic or real) and none of the stores I went to had them(Nyberg's ACE, Lewis, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Shopko, Family Dollar) that was going to be part of the present I got Samantha so that she could go out and rake leaves (and also provide me with a photo-op which I love). So I ended up taking them both to Wal-Mart and finding a Waterbaby that is dressed like Elmo. It's cute.. but it's no rake.

Recently I lent my mother my First Season of Lost and encouraged her to actually watch it- since she never just sits and watches a movie when I am with her (unless in a theater). She is getting hooked- so hooked that now she is telling me her theories and scoffing at things I say about the characters. I remind her that she hasn't seen season 2 yet- and that it explains a little more about the characters. She was on the last disc when I left last night. She didn't believe that they would kill off a main character (Boone) I told her to get ready for the next season.

As if I didn't have enough shows that I like I have added one more. Heroes is becoming a new fixture in my viewing habits- mind you I just record it and watch it- I'm becoming very anti-commercial now that I can forward through them. One draw was Milo Ventimiglia (formerly of Gilmore Girls) he has been on a couple of shows in the past, but they never looked promising. This show actually does. However- my head does kind of swim because of how many characters they have and the fact that the show never centers on one character. I heard that it go the go ahead for a full season so I don't have to get invested and then dumped.

Well- I'm gonna go- bye now! I've got to go and kill some Asian-ladybug beetles.

Lost- A Tale of Two Cities

Wow!~ I didn't think much would get revealed in the first episode much less the first five minutes of the show. That was fucking awesome- what a set-up. A woman in a simple house putting on the song Downtown and having a book club and then bam- here's The Others living like The Village. I'm looking forward to what happens! Plus the new actor Rodrigo Sanitaro(sp?) is hot-to-trot yum. I am re-watching the show now while I should be finishing my papers for school tomorrow. Back to work.

I Pity the Fool!

I'm attempting to put a picture on this entry- I just saw it on someone else's blog and it was too cute...

Yay! I did it- enjoy

The site said something like

I PITY THE MAN WHO DON'T LIKE SOCK MONKEYS!

If someone can make one- please let me know- I would seriously consider purchasing one.

On a different note- I finished the rest of My Name Is Earl and it was good- the extras are substantial too- the alternate universe episode was funny- you all should check it out
