lovely day

what a day! i spent today playing stylist to my best friend a. she just moved here and got a job and has to dress fabulously and she needed help. for some reason she trusts me implicitly with her fashion choices. i am obviously flattered and did my best to make her look amazing. i wish i could be a stylist for profit. any takers???
well, while she was trying clothes on i was waiting outside her dressing room and there was a mother who was doing the same. i glance over in her direction after a few minutes and see her practicing her ballet positions in the large dressing room mirror. obviously i snuck a picture to show you all.

she was doing some serious ballet - pliees included. why oh why?

i just found this video. so wrong. apparently she is promoting a scientology event and goes around calling people using the voice. interesting how there is no actual mention of scientology...


it is becoming blindingly clear to me that a job is just not on the horizon. i want it to be. and i try and try and try and nothing. i am told to call people about jobs and then get told by the people i am calling that there isn't actually anything available. i go in on interviews and get feedback that i am great and they love me but they aren't hiring. well, why do they bring me in on an interview?????? how does that make any sense? it makes me want to scream and rip my hair out. ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need to find a job soon or i am just going to completely fly off the handle.

ok, i'm calm now. here is some hotness.

look at those arms! oh em gee!! he has gotten hunkalicious. scar-jo is one lucky biotch.

fabulous friday

watch this!


also this (it's just so beautiful)

the two of them just had the most wonderful and intense chemistry. it's great to see a president who is so deeply in love with his wife. beyonce also did a great job and she didn't look hideous (which she usually does). so good job. but seriously, how hot are they together? i tear up every time.

sometimes i do not understand people. i see people wearing certain things and i just cannot stop myself from internally questioning some choices. that happened to me today. i saw a woman (probably in her mid twenties) and she had on a $1700 chanel bag (it was real), a horrible outfit and then these shoes. there is no excuse in the world for these shoes. they looked like they came from the mid-90s. they are an eyesore and need to be burned.

why?

then i am driving home (it's raining) and i look to my right and see a group of tourists taking a tour....in the rain. they have a guide and everything. one of the people was wearing shorts and flip flops. i get that you want to take a tour but is this necessary?? obviously i had to take a picture. while i was taking it one of them saw me. i was sitting in my car with my camera phone and laughing. it was so enjoyable.


this past monday ellen finally caught george clooney. during 2008 she had george watch 08 where she attempted several times to catch him and get him on her show. on monday she finally did it. that has inspired the hotness for the day. so here it is. it has also been made official that george will be getting back into his scrubs for the final episode of er. hotness. george doesn't need to be topless either. that's the beauty of being george - he is totally sexy with all of his clothes on.


the oscar nominations were announced yesterday. i don't think there were any surprises that were too huge but there were some interesting picks. i am first going to comment on the fact that kate winslet got nominated for the reader and not revolutionary road. also at the golden globes her reader nomination was in the supporting category and at the oscars it's in the best actress category....very interesting. also, robert downey jr was nominated for best supporting actor for his work in tropic thunder. seriously?? at least it wasn't tom cruise. that would have pissed me off. heath ledger was nominated for his brilliant portrayal of the joker in the dark knight. i truly think he will win. actually, that has inspired me to list my picks for a golden statue. so here it goes (only in the major categories):

best actor:
richard jenkins (the visitor)
frank langella (frost/nixon) - win
sean penn (milk)
brad pitt (the curious case of benjamin button)
mickey rourke (the wrestler) - 2nd choice win

supporting actor:
josh brolin (milk)
robert downey jr (tropic thunder)
phillip seymour hoffman (doubt)
heath ledger (the dark knight) - win
michael shannon (revolutionary road)

best actress:
anne hathaway (rachel getting married)
angelina jolie (changeling)
melissa leo (frozen river)
meryl streep (doubt)
kate winslet (the reader) - win

supporting actress:
amy adams (doubt)
penelope cruz (vicky christina barcelona)
viola davis (doubt)
taraji p. henson (the curious case of benjamin button)
marisa tomei (the wrestler) - win

best director:
the curious case of benjamin button
frost/nixon
milk
the reader
slumdog millionaire - win

best picture:
the curious case of benjamin button
frost/nixon
milk
the reader
slumdog millionaire - win

that is what i think. what do you think? i think that most picks are pretty solid except for best actor and best picture. best actor is going to be a tough category. frank langella and mickey rourke are the biggest contenders in my mind. i would love to see sean penn but he won't. he didn't show up when he won the best actor oscar for mystic river and the academy doesn't like that. no #2 for sean.

i hope everyone is excited for the weekend! i know i am! tomorrow i am going thrifting with my friend, he needs a bedside table and then tomorrow night i think i am going to a bar. should be fun and random. i know like 1 person, but hopefully my friend a will come with me so i don't have to be awkward and alone. that would suck.

Whad did mamma say ? @ Yahoo! Video

this one

this is the one that you really need to see. he honestly gives beyonce a run for her money. it's fierce.



happy saturday everyone. i feel like today is going to be a good one. the u of a is going to their first bowl game in over a decade and the rumor is that we are favored to win (by 3). i would die. d.i.e. die. go cats! beardown!!!

i also signed up for both the cbest and cset today. i have to take both tests in order to apply to teaching school to earn my credential. i am so excited but there is so much to do. the cset is january 10 and i have approximately 100 pages of study materials that i printed out this morning. the test itself is hell. 3 sections with subsections in each and it's all areas of "social science." so i get: world history, world geography, us history, us geography, civics, economics and california history. sounds like fun right?? the cbest on the other hand is pretty simple. an english portion, a writing portion and a math portion. basically they want to know that you are as smart as a 7th grader. i personally think that is a lot to ask......just kidding. but seriously. i am terrible at math. i am scared. wish me luck!!
