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:

olivia: yes
michelle: no

michelle: (looking at Olivia) oh...well, you have to work in the morning


what michelle heard:
bartender: so do you two want a shot?
olivia: yes
michelle: no
olivia: (looking at Michelle) oh...did you...
michelle: (looking at Olivia) oh...well, you have to work in the morning

what the bartender said:
bartender: so you do two want a shot?

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?

More Color

We snapped some 'fun' photos before hitting the clubs. Thanks Courtney for encouraging even "More Color!" (More photos to come, once Courtney sends them my way.)
