What would your entrance song be?
I can't tell if I'd go old school (Huey Lewis/Counting Crows) or something more modern. I'd probably do "Calle Ocho" by Pitbull.. Then again, I'd probably stick with "Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe... Never Trust a big butt and a smile, ya know ;)

Apparently there is no end to who (or what) you can follow on Twitter!
Wow.. does Heidi Montag look like an alien or what? Seriously.. it's worse on TV than in pictures.. how's that self esteem holding up?
Oh Matty.. not you too!
Could SOMEONE give Bret Michaels a break.. I mean.. like the guy hasn't had a hard enough year what with lights falling on his head and emergency appendectomies.. and oh yeah.. those Rock of Love girls.. never quite stick!
Jake Pavelka was the next to go on DWTS and while I love his partner, Chelsie Hightower, he never really grew on me. I figured it'd be between him and Pam but it was Niecy in the bottom.. WTF America!?
Divorce AND adopted child? Wow.. she really IS America's Sweetheart.. Good luck Sandra!!
Seriously.. how soon can So You Think You Can Dance start? I'm dying here! Really? Comfort and Ade? Ok.. Ade was kinda awesome but since he was with Melissa.. I had to not like him.. Comfort... eh... The rest, I'm completely down with and I can't wait for it all to start up again!
Check out Happy Town tonight on ABC.. is it gonna be this year's Harper's Island (and is that a good thing or a bad thing?)

Scorpion Bowl 2010
Heather and Bobby's Wedding...

I'm actually really glad this isn't going to happen, mainly because he doesn't seem the dancing type AND the voting campaign I'd have to mount would probably REALLY cut into my social and work life. Not that I don't think he'd do a good job, cause he's obviously tenacious, but I don't think I'd want to be the first baseball player on the show, especially considering how well athletes have done in the past. Good call Cal... stick with what you know!

Well, it's unfortunate, but I have found the limit of an 8GB Ipod, and for me, it's 1,831 songs. Now what do I do (and don't say "get a new ipod)? I guess I need to go through my songs and figure out what I really do and/or don't need. For example - do I need all my show tunes (Rent, Jersey Boys, Avenue Q)? Yes.. yes I do! Nothing gets you through the day like a rousing rendition of "If You Were Gay..." Instead, I decided to delete the many Rise Against songs that remained after the demise of mine and J's relationship. I actually did keep a couple, but I surely didn't need them all. They were taking up space that could be used by Huey Lewis, Matchbox Twenty or even Eddie Murphy (if you think "If You Were Gay" works wonders, imagine what "Party All The Time" can do!!)
The O's are off to the worst start in baseball. Thankfully, the Red Sox aren't doing so great either, so when I go back to Vermont for my rugby reunion this weekend, the only ones who can give me a rash of shit are the NY'ers.. of which I am one, so screw them ;) Yes, this weekend is Scorpion Bowl weekend, and after a false alarm, my camera is ready to go! I'm staying overnight this Saturday so there should be lots of pics. The night before I have a wedding, so there'll be lots of pics of that too! Thankfully, I've cleared out my memory card so there should be plenty of space!
Finally, the Free Tony movement has come to fruition!!!! I'm sad to see him go (but I love to watch him leave), but considering Kate can't dance her way out of a paper bag (and she's proven to be a raging head case bitch), all is right with the world.
If you, like me, can't wait for True Blood's third season to start, HBO is trying to satisfy you (just hope they also put them up on HBO.com for us non-HBO peeps!). I pre-ordered the second season today, so if anyone wants to marathon it with me once it comes in, feel free!!! I also ordered the 1st (half) season of Glee, as Tre is now a convert by watching the Madonna episode that aired last night. I thought it was great, but it was definitely not as funny as last week's episode! But who cares? It's Glee and it's supposed to be about the music, right? I hear they're planning on doing another Madonna episode, which would be awesome.. especially if someone could take on Human Nature. That's one of my Madonna faves (and let me point out that I didn't read the article I attached until AFTER I wrote this.. but it's nice to see someone else is on the same wavelength)!
If you're not watching Parenthood, you need to be! It's by far one of the best shows on TV right now, and it just got renewed for a second season. AND, it's rumored that two of its stars (Lauren Graham and Peter Krause) are dating!!! Sounds like a good match to me!
Rescue Me will FINALLY start up again on June 29th and I am anxiously awaiting its return. I might have to netflix the last season so I can catch up. It's been so long since the show has been on that all I seem to remember is when Shawn (white Shawn, not Black Shawn) used self tanner to masturbate and ended up with an orange penis. Could it get funnier? Yes.. yes it could..
Today is Administrative Professional's Day, and what with all the turmoil our company's gone through this year, no one was expecting much. I didn't even intend to eat the meal, as I heard they were wraps... most of which contain veggies, whcih I do not like. Thankfully, there was pasta (with veggies, but easy to eat around) and rolls, so I did partake, and the company was kind enough to give us all crisp fifty dollar bills as a thank you. I don't know if they understand how grateful we all were for the cold, hard cash, as that's what we really need. I'm grateful and so are my feet and hands, as I'll be using that money for my mani/pedi on Friday afternoon!
Hope the hump wasn't too harsh for you.. As I said, I'm going away this weekend, but I'll try to throw some pics up when I get back on Sunday. Enjoy the end of your week and don't forget to tune in to the Project Runway finale tomorrow night on Lifetime. I'm rooting for Seth Aaron, cause I think Emilio has only become douchier every time he gets on the screen and I really don't think Mila's black and white motif will pull it off. As always, stranger things have happened!

I think I have a problem:
Lately I realize I've been blogging (IF I've been blogging) about shitty baseball and food. Now, the shitty baseball thing isn't my fault.. I'd much rather be blogging about GOOD baseball, but I'm an Orioles fan and this is how the cookie crumbles.
The food thing though, has become a bit of an obsession, and one I'm finding hard to give up. Every week I say i'm going to start eating better, maybe do Weight Watchers again, yadda yadda yadda. However, something (like a fund raising dinner at my favorite Italian restaurant) always gets in the way and then makes me decide not to start until the following week, where something inevitably comes up again to derail my goal of fitting back into my 12's.. Right now I'm a 13, hovering dangerously close to 14.. I don't like it, yet somehow don't find myself motivated enough to do anything to stop it. So, I'm thinking that after this weekend (life long buddy's wedding AND college rugby reunion) I'm going to have to suck it up and be a good girl, and for that, I apologize. I'll probably be a little cranky and obsessing over things I can't have, but really want, like the chicken bacon ranch pizza I had from I Love NY pizza today (Try it.. it's to die for). Instead, I'll just eat my lean cuisines and stop really doing crunches before bed instead of pretending I did. But someday, yes someday, I WILL have one of these... even though I'll be boycotting "Best Thing I Ever Ate" on the food network for the time being. They give me too many good ideas for road trips...

Cal finally gets his say.. doesn't make me like Angelos any more, but it doesn't make me hate him any less.. that's something, right?
Sunday, April 18, 2010
It's amazing when someone says (or in this case writes) exactly what you were thinking...
Congrats to the O's... Win #2 on the season today, which means we will not have the worst start in O's history... ah, sweet relief!

If this story has any truth to it, I can only imagine how quickly O's fans will be begging for Peter Angelos' head on a stick... granted, they have been for years but I'd say turning down help from the O's favorite son would deserve a severe ass whooping at the very least. Would it help!? Who knows... but at this point, it sure as hell can't hurt to try!!! And if I were Mr. Angelos, I wouldn't be turning down help... Cal has yet to make a formal statement/comment, so we'll have to see where this story goes..

I'd like to thank the O's for not giving me any false hope this season... I get it... now start winning...
This may help..
If only "good on paper" meant something!

Oh Glee.. how i've missed you.. Next week is the long-awaited Madonna episode and if this is any indication, it'll be a doozy! Some great lines to come back with in last night's episode as well.. my fave was from Brittany - "Do you know dolphins are just gay sharks?"
Aidan Turner got booted from DWTS last night and much to my chagrin, I still have to watch Kate Gosselin berate my Tony.. Make it stop America.. make it stop!
So... apparently the hub-bub surrounding the heinous plastic surgeries wasn't enough media coverage? Give me a break...
Kate Walsh may be single, and hopefully she's not unemployed real soon (yes, the chances are the slimmest ever since the show revolves around her, but stranger things have happened!) I'm bummed by this.. I still watch the show and there are few people I could see it going on without, so we'll have to wait and see who makes the cut!
That's all for now... too little time, but I'm trying! Happy Hump Day! :)
PS - Does anyone have a Kindle? I saw one this weekend and fell in LOVE... I'm hoping the price goes down thanks to the introduction of the Ipad... if not.. Merry Christmas to me!
And oh yeah.. I'm going to Disney World!!! Yes.. I'm 33 and yes.. I'm going with my parents, but who cares? I love it and I can't wait!

I really want to meet the mastermind behind this concoction... I admit, I'm slightly intrigued by it, yet scared all at the same time. I mean.. seriously.. who's the marketing guru that was able to pitch this sandwich to KFC and make them believe it was a good idea!? It'll probably be a best seller.. God Bless Fat America!!
I spent my night watching the Butler-Duke game, and unfortunately, Duke was able to pull it out. It was an incredibly close game, with (I think) the biggest lead only being 6 points. Butler really proved themselves and I only hope they can do it again next year. WTG Brad Stevens, Gordon Hayward and the rest of the Butler Bulldogs.. And oh yeah... nice job Duke too... ;)

So, it's actually a BEAUTIFUL day in upstate New York, however.... if you have to be covered up like the Unabomber, perhaps that should make you realize that it still might be SLIGHTLY too chilly in the morning to have the top down on your Jeep and/or convertible. Just a thought.... and oh yeah... Doing 45 MPH in both a 35 MPH speed zone and a 55 MPH speed zone is really annoying. Thanks. TGIF!

This morning, I put on a pair of pants and went to work. However, I realized a little too late that they were slightly tight. Not so much that I couldn't wear them, but a little more snug than I'm used to. All I could think was "oh god, please let these be a size 12 and not a 14." Thankfully, they were a 12, so while I'm a fattie (thanks winter weight gain) I'm not up to my old fattie tricks quite yet.. hence, me hopping on the treadmill the other night at 9:30... that wasn't smart, by the way. Not only was I on the treadmill, but i put my sheets in the washer, which of course, weren't ready by the time I wanted to go to bed. This also didn't matter, because my body was not yet ready to hit the hay either.. What I have learned this week is that watching True Blood Season 1 with subtitles really makes you forget how long you've been on the treadmill. Ignorance is bliss my friends...
I am utterly convinced that America is insanely masochistic. Don't get me wrong.. she wasn't phenomenal, but she was FAR from the worst on that show, and I'm (kind of) in shock and awe that I have to continue watching Buzz Aldrin and Kate Gosselin for probably 8 more weeks.. Oh America... what have you done?!
I went to see Alice in Wonderland in 3-D the other night. Now, I've seen plenty of Tim Burton movies but I wouldn't say I'm a fan.. I appreciate his vision, how's that? Anyway, I'm NOT a fan of Johnny Depp. I don't know what it is, but he's never been one of my faves and I don't find him particularly attractive. It might be my whole aversion to anything Wonka. It freaks me out.. like Mr. Rogers, the Letter People and Mummenschanz. It might just be a PBS thing, I don't know. Anyway, I REALLY liked the movie. I thought everyone in it was brilliantly cast and it was an entertaining story, as the time flew by. However, I still think 3-D is overrated. I could have saved $4 and gotten the same experience. If I'm gonna go to a 3-D movie I want things flying at me, making me feel like I have to get out of the way. It was cool to see, but I don't really think it did much to enhance the flick. Regardless, check it out if you get a chance!
Even more changes are coming on So You Think You Can Dance, which puts it all into perspective and kinda makes me excited! I'm just glad that the judges still have the same amount of input they had initially. I thought it was gonna turn into an American Idol type thing, where the fans choose who goes every week. As you can see with DWTS.. fans don't always know best.
Baseball starts over the weekend, and today the O's signed Julio Lugo, which will be a nice back up considering Roberts has been having lots of back problems and no one is really sure how well Cesar Izturis will do. At the very least, it'll be nice for the boys to get some random days off (as long as none of those days are when I'll be seeing them... whenever that may be!) In other O's news, Chad Moeller has been granted release, as he was beaten out for the backup catcher position by newcomer Craig Tatum, whose defense eclipsed that of the 35 year old veteran. I'll be sad to see him go. He seems like a class act and was a great role model for Wieters, as it seems he was for Tatum in Spring Training. However, with a team like the O's, sometimes youth and.. well.. DEFENSE win out!
I don't watch 'Til Death, but I might have to make an exception for this!!! No Joey though (enter obligatory "WHOA" joke here).
That's all for now. Hope everyone has a Happy Easter and enjoy the amazing weather the Northeast is going to have this weekend (and hopefully for avery long time!) Don't forget to eat your weight in marshmallow peeps (i'm doing it with mini eggs, so your favorite Easter candy will do).
