I saw New Moon on Saturday night and was NOT disappointed. I really enjoyed it, even with the random cheesy bits interspersed throughout! I very much enjoyed the Jacob-centric film, especially since he barely wore clothes through most of it. Yes, I KNOW he's only 17 and I feel dirty about it, but it doesn't take away from the fact that he is a sexy son of a bitch that I wouldn't kick him out of my cougar type bed for eating crackers. Now only 7 months to go until Eclipse opens!

Happy First Birthday goes out to Toine and Kelly's daughter, Taylor Gracie Esposito! I saw a pic of Sweet T with her cake and I have no doubt that she went to town! Tonight I'm catching up on NCIS with a mini-marathon, and imagine my surprise when "Pizza Girl" from October Road turned out to be some sort of rogue assasin. Guess typecasting had nothing to do with this one!

I am sure this means NOTHING to most of the readers of my blog (the three of you there are, give or take) but I bowled 694 the other night. I was REAL thrilled about it and I had no one to celebrate with, as the majority of my drinking buddies were at a phys. ed. conference at Turning Stone. Bummer! Instead I went grocery shopping, where I ended up behind a woman with food stamp issues. I am almost positive I was in line behind her for at least a half hour, which was about double the time it took me to get through the store and get all my groceries. The perfect end to a Friday night? I think not!

My sister has put up all our Christmas decorations and bought a new tree. While she did that, I went to MJ's for beer and football. I am far from a scrooge, but my sister is so Christmas obsessed and has a "method" for where things should go, so it's easier to get out of the way instead of trying to help. "I do it wrong" is what she says. I'm so scarred for life.

I live to serve you Christopher Thomas

At least sometimes, that's what it feels like ;)

I was (and still would be) an avid fan of Remote Control, the game show on MTV that helped launch the careers of Colin Quinn, Adam Sandler and my favorite unreasonably dirty fantasy, Denis Leary, so you can imagine my surprise to learn its host, Ken Ober, died over the weekend. No real details have been released as of yet.

Can I mention that I'm so appalled by the fact that when I type in "ken" on yahoo to search, the first thing that comes up is Ken Jennings, the most annoying Jeopardy contestant ever..

My boyfriend Taylor Lautner was on Jay Leno last night, and since we all know how much I loathe Jay Leno and blame him for my screwed up TV watching phase this Fall, you know it pained me to watch. However, for Team Jacob, I'll do it! My sister was like "he's 18, right?" No.. no he's not, so at least now I have someone to revel in my dirty Mrs. Robinson ways with me. Thanks Tre!

I don't care WHO screwed it up, it worked out for me! I guess I have to keep wearing my jersey so Peyton and the boys can keep the streak alive!!!

I think my second passion party is gonna cancel this weekend, which sucks. After layoffs and pay cuts, I could have used the extra loot! Apparently no one is in the sex toy buying mindset, what with the holidays coming around. I just don't get it! Perhaps I should have thought of something that would have been a little more.... appealing to the masses..

Neil Patrick Harris is now on Twitter. Follow him.

This is the best I got at the moment.. Been real busy and have some things rolling around in my head! I'll try to be good, I promise!

I was thrown for a loop when I saw this headline....

For some reason, my sister can't stop talking about this trailer.. I don't remember seeing the first one, so I'm not quite as excited..

I am officially a loser.. I bawled my BRAINS out watching the Khloe Kardashian-Lamar Odom wedding on E! Damn you Bruce Jenner! I've had quite a few friends announce separations lately so I'm not exactly sold on the sanctity of marriage.. I'm not saying Khloe and Lamar have done it for me with their whirlwind courtship, but a girl can still dream of it.. and a Vera Wang dress..

Happy Hump Day!

We might not be the best, but we've got potential!!!
If you are a straight woman or gay man and DON'T watch Glee, then let me show you what you're missing...

This is the first week where the audience can vote for the eventual So You Think You Can Dance winner, which simply means there's another show I need to tape. Also, I was kind of surprised to hear this news, mainly because I was certain he was gay. I know.. male dancer. can't be straight.. I get it.. it's a stereotype. Regardless, they're kind of cute together and even in the audience of the show tonight with the rest of the cast of the tour that did NOT come anywhere near here (nope.. not bitter at all)..

Great TV news - Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List will be back with 10 new episodes in 2010!! Now if only she'd come around this area again so I can get my laugh on! I really wanted to go see Jim Breuer on December 4th, but my cousin Laura has a dance performance at school that I'm really looking forward to. If you have Sirius/XM and don't listen to Jim Breuer's show on Friday afternoons, you don't know what you're missing (apparently it's a trend on the blog today... deal with it). Speaking of Kathy, she'll be making a guest spot on one of my favorite shows in 2010!

Apparently if it doesn't have to do with dancing in some way, I don't want to talk about it on the blog today! I guess not every "fairy-tale relationship" is as fairy-tale as we're led to believe. How am I supposed to have faith in the santity of relationships and marriage if no one can keep it together anymore?

I have GOT to get my ass to Vegas ASAP!!!

See what I mean about love? I mean.. if THESE crazy kids can't make it work, who can? I was on Team Flex from the get-go so all I can do is hope for a brand new show to give that guy his due. Come on VH1! Give me what I want!!!

It gets a little scary when things like this hit close to home, don't you think?

I haven't ran in two months.. I made it a half-mile at a time.. I guess it was better than nothing. I weighed myself this morning, hence the athletic reality check. SOMEONE needs to get back on track..

I am one of those unlucky bastards who has to work tomorrow, but at least it's a bonus casual day. That ALMOST makes it worth it (or at least that's what I'm going to tell myself to make me feel better about it). Happy Veteran's Day to all and Happy Birthday Joey!!!
If anyone wants to know what to get me for Christmas, click here.

Money works too though.. Found out last week that the whole firm is taking pay cuts (I say taking like I had a choice), so in order to keep my job, I get to do it for less money, effective immediately. Can't say that I was thrilled with that news. Yes, I'm ecstatic to still have a job, but I'd be even more ecstatic to still have my job and my paycheck. Wouldn't you?

I'm not actively searching for a job by any means.. I like where I am, but you have to keep your eyes out so you're not completely blindsided, am I right? I seriously can't do the unemployment thing again. Although if I had to, I'd have PLENTY of time to watch the complete series of Dawson's Creek.. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place ;).

In honor of the start of our indoor soccer season last week (and my being tripped from behind and suffering from some nasty turf burn) I wanted to post this video as what NOT to do... I taped The Today Show this morning just so I can see how this girl could possibly justify her actions. I mean.. there's playing a little dirty and then there's everything this girl did, which she'll have plenty of time to think about while she's suspended!

We all know what a sap I am (so much so that I REALLY wish TV would stop playing the trailer for The Blind Side, cause it makes me cry EVERY time), but stuff like this really gets me. I'm far from a Yankee fan but who knew they had families and feelings? ;) My sister is going to the ticker tape parade tomorrow.. Someday, I swear, I'll go to a ticker tape parade.. I just hope I won't have to do it in my walker... or with a colostomy bag. There's always next season O's!!!
