Stalkers, Stalkers, Where are the Stalkers?

50 cool points to whomever can name the movie that this quote comes from:
Stalkers, stalkers...where are all the stalkers?
Who? You mean Robbie?
Yeah, Robbie.

Here's one more from the same film:
What are you puttin' that tape on your nose for?
Exactly!

So if you're reading this blog it means that I've given you special permission to check this website. That's right folks, I'm tired of beating off the crazies so I've placed a privacy block on this website. (Take that, Bob Saget!) Go ahead, puff your chest with pride 'cause not just anyone can view this blog! No siree! I've hand picked a select few and you, my friend, are a chosen one.

More blogs to come... :)

ps) my mom is sitting at her desk right now really, really, really, really happy that I've added a blocker to this website. now no one will hunt me down and kill me. although, i'm having Comcast cable installed on Saturday and a couple months ago a Comcast cable installer-dude murdered 2 ladies while installing in their apartment.
This would be a good time to have a boyfriend, you know to sit with me and make sure I don't get killed. Dammit, my timing is always off!
Well, if anyone wants to come hang out on Sat. from 1-3pm, to help beat off the Comcast crazies...just let me know.

Carisa and I checked out Devil in the Woodpile at The Hideout tonight. (It's way past my bedtime right now.)
We ran into Richie there, had a few drinks to toast the evening and tried our best to finish The Redeye crossword puzzle. Thanks for loaning me your scarf, Richie! I was freezing!

PS) Everyone! The Bakelite 78 is at The Horeshoe on Friday night. Be there or be square.

Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle

Now this is guy is Nerd Hot! He's not only smart, he's flippin hilarious!!

The Associated Press

OSHAWA, Ontario -- After losing a hockey bet with Stephen Colbert, the mayor of Oshawa, John Gray, now must pay up — by declaring his own birthday, March 20, to be "Stephen Colbert Day" in his city, just east of Toronto.

"Mr. Mayor, let me ask you something: How are you planning to spend your `Stephen Colbert Day?'" the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" asked Gray over the telephone on Monday's show as a graphic of a moose wearing a "mayor" sash appeared in lieu of a headshot.

"Oh that's right, it's your birthday. How old are you going to be? Old enough to know better than to take on Stephen Colbert?"

Gray responded: "Hopefully in the future, yes."

In recent months, Colbert has been rooting for the Ontario Hockey League's Saginaw Spirit after finding out the Michigan team had named its mascot Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle as a tribute to him.

On Friday night, the Spirit beat the Oshawa Generals 5-4. Gray was among the 5,527 fans who attended the game.

Before his brief interview with Gray, Colbert reminded his viewers about the terms of the wager.

"If Oshawa wins, I will wear an Oshawa jersey on my show. But when the Spirit kicks Oshawa's moose haunches, I don't want to declare `Stephen Colbert Day' on my birthday, I want to declare it on your birthday," Colbert said to cheers and applause.

I Used to be Like California

Michelle and I saw M. Ward tonight at Park West. I thought it was a really good show (reminded me a lot of Ray LaMontagne) but Michelle says he sounds really different on his albums.
Best part of the night was the encore when he asked someone to jump up from the crowd and play the piano. The guy, Stephan, ended up being a really good piano player and just went to town on the song! M. Ward walked off stage and just let Stephan play by himself for awhile. The whole crowd was cheering this guy on! It was pretty incredible. Josh - you should check this guy out, he's at the El Rey Theater in L.A. on Feb 2nd. Also, Josh, sorry I missed your call. :)

Team O'Malley

I just read that T.R. Knight might leave Grey's Anatomy because he's so upset about how Isaiah Washington's comment was handled (or not-handled, as the case may be).

Noooooo!!!!

I love T.R.'s character and I love his acting and I will be so pissed off if the homophobic keeps his job and T.R. doesn't.

And why is Isaiah allowed to keep his job anyway? If anyone in my office said a comment like that to a co-worker, and then repeated the comment again...he would be fired so fast!

I am Team O'Malley all the way.

YouTube

Great news! My best friend, Sadia, lives in San Fran and for the past year was really unhappy in her job. So she called up an old high school and college friend, Steve, to see if he could hook her up with some work. (Steve is the guy who invented/founded YouTube.) Steve said "Sure!" and now Sadia is very happily employed as an Editor for YouTube.
What's even better news is that you can see video of Sadia as the Editors post video blogs online every few days. If you click on the YouTube link to the right of this page, it will bring you to YouTube's homepage. Scroll down to the bottom and there is a section titled "YouTube" and a link in that section titled "Blog". Click it.
Mia's video is up now but if you listen to it she mentions Sadia in the video. :) That is SO exciting!
Next week Sadia's first video blog will be posted. I will now be checking YouTube everyday and when Sadia's blogs are up I will alert all of you.

Yeah Sadia!!

Approved!

I took Carisa, Michi and Tim out to a couple new bars last night: Danny's and Club Foot. We had a lot of fun listening to the kick ass DJ at Danny's and people watching at Club Foot. :)

Blonde

Yeah! I was in need of a little blonde.

Quantum Leap

In college, my roommate Debbie and I would skip science class, eat dill pickles, and watch Quantum Leap reruns. I loved this show and I wish I could still watch it.
Luckily I have Battlestar Galactica to keep me happy. People...you should be watching Battlestar Galactica! It's brilliant!

Sara Ramirez

I'm watching Grey's Anatomy right now and I gotta say, I think Sara Ramirez is the hottest woman on this show. I love her whole character. I love that she's taller than George. I love that she is a rock-n-roll lady who is also a kick ass doctor. And she can sing, to boot!
I feel a girl crush coming on. :)

Say That Again?

Last night, Michelle and I went to Pint for dinner and drinks. Here is how the evening wound down:

bartender: so do you two want your check?

olivia: yes
michelle: no
olivia: (looking at Michelle) oh...did you...
michelle: (looking at Olivia) oh...well, you have to work in the morning

Happy Birthday Ang!

Happy Birthday Angie! I hope you have a great day!!

Come on everybody, wish my big (little) sister a Happy Birthday!!

That is One Tall Orange Woman

*This was just hilarious, I had to share it....*

Celebrity Terror Watch: Tyra Banks
We here at GFY HQ would like to issue a Tanorexia orange alert, pun fully intended, because of word of an epidemic sweeping the America's Next Top Model gang: It would appear that Jay Manuel's rampant affinity for turning himself orange is terribly, toxically catching.
To wit: Here is Tyra Banks in her Emmy dress (and exposed wig tape) late last year.

And here she is as photographed at the PGA awards -- which is thrown by the Producer's Guild of America, and not, in fact, a ceremony devoted to the very best in golf, at which her presence would be a tad more confusing. At any rate, have a gander.


That is one tall orange woman. We have never in our lives seen Tyra Banks that unnaturally orange -- and, thanks to her campaign for global domination, we've seen a lot of her. Was she so engrossed in lying on the beach eating ribs that she forgot to turn over? Did she shoot an episode of her show entitled, "Confronting Your Fear Of The Surface Of The Sun?" Did she too hastily try cracking open a can of whoop-ass on a poor unsuspecting Tyra Banks Show guest, only to find out too late that she grabbed a can of self-tanner instead? And most vitally of all, WHY did she agree to leave the house looking so ... fluorescent? Nobody in the world needs to be neon orange.
Perhaps this is all for her talk show's Undercover series, in which she pulled the wool over all our disbelieving eyes by masquerading as an overweight woman, a stripper, and a male member of the entourage of a somewhat mortified Chingy. We can't imagine what she's pretending to be -- mama oompa loompa seems too obvious; a cautionary tale about the dangers of eating a surplus of carrots, too self-sacrificing -- but we hope her radioactive hue dies down soon.

Chicago Bears: Past and Present

In all the buzz about the Bears going to the Superbowl, I hadn't thought about how it might effect my friend/co-worker, Kristi. Kristi is Brian Piccolo's daughter and it seems whenever anything is happening with The Bears, Kristi somehow ends up being talked about in the news. I wish she could just enjoy the game, like the rest of the city, without having to discuss her father's death.

Running with Scissors

*This post has two possible endings. Please vote to decide which is the better one.*

The critics of Running with Scissors claim that it's a laugh-out-loud book. That AugustenBurroughs is the new David Sedaris. That he is able to take his tragic childhood story and write about it in a way that adds humor to the worst of situations.
Well, I'm halfway through this book and I haven't laughed once. This is nothing like David Sedaris. If you want to read a funny book, go pick up Me Talk Pretty One Day.

Ending #1: There is nothing sadder than someone attempting to add humor to a crappy situation. And failing.

Ending #2: Augusten took the 'fun' out of 'dysfunctional'.

Courtney's Shots

Thanks Courtney for sending photos! Here are a few shots from our night of clubbing on Wall Street. I love to dance!!
*Please excuse my really sweaty hair. I had been dancing on a stage for a few hours and it got a little warm. :)

The Hulk

I snapped lots of photos at Islands of Adventure, on Saturday. Luckily, the lines weren't too bad for most rides. I have dubbed The Hulk as the best roller coaster ride ever! We rode that one twice and my throat was hoarse from screaming! Thanks Lance for not telling me the surprise before I rode The Hulk!
We also rode The Spiderman ride, which was really cool. The 3-D effects were pretty incredible! Lance and I jumped on a ride that basically shoots you straight up into the air and then drops you back down to the ground. Lance hates that ride. :)
The three of us also checked out the ride "Ice" which had a cool dungeon setting for when you were waiting in line.
We also took a couple of hours and ventured over to the Universal where we saw Bruce, the shark from Jaws, and experienced a tornado on the set of Twister. Pretty cool! We ended the night by lounging at the Margaritaville bar with some food and a couple of cocktails. All in all, a very good day.
I can't recommend The Hulk enough, though. Seriously, that is the best roller coaster in the whole world. Scared the crap out of me...in a fantastic way!!! Does anyone else love roller coasters as much as I do?
