What is.. makes me want to BLARF for $500, Alex?

next then you know, they will bring back Hollywood Squares, and Spencer will be the new host, and Heidi will be the Center Square!

I'm back! Finally got a couple more Air Conditioners in the apartment! Plus we headed up to VT for a nice relaxing weekend in the Green Mountains. Will fill ya in on that later.

Um.. I think you're missing something

Heels maybe?!?

British Designer Antonio Berardi believes that his heel-less shoes are fit for the upper class. Gwyneth Paltrow, Uma & Posh have already scooped up a pair, and apparently theres a 5 wk backorder on them in the UK. Golly, and it gets even better- you have to cough up $3,600 to look like a wanker wearing these.

If I saw someone take a spill in these walking down the street, I wouldn't even ask if they needed help getting up! They chose not to wear normal footwear.

What to pair with these shoes?!

Some high wasted jeans.....a pirate top And a smile of course!

Ca-Ca-Ca-Carrie!

Why hasn't there been a show like Sex & The City since Carrie and the girls signed off a few years ago? I've given Lipstick Lesbians and Cashmere Sopranos a chance, and probably will continue to watch them as I cry holding onto my DVR remote.. but they totally suck! The women are all ridiculously loaded, they whine, I cannot relate to them whatsoever, none of their relationships are believable, and they seem way too smug. Then I read an article in this week's EW titled "The Search for the Next Sex & The City" and came to a better understanding why all these shows are failing miserably. Check out the article here.
A few excellent points from the article:

• SATC was the first of its kind back in '98 when it debuted.. no one had paid attention to women this way before, and it finally gave women a voice. While Ally McBeal was hitting the airwaves, the huge difference was that SATC embraced singledom while Ms Flockhart's character questioned feminism with her need to have a man in her life.
  

• while many have blatently failed (um.. Heather Graham in the horrible "Emily's Reasons Why Not" and "Jake In Progress"- have mercy) a few shows have actually used the SATC formula and done well.. such as Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Girlfriends..

• what do SATC fans want? EW says "It's about the coolest, smartest women around, living out TV versions of our lives." And even brings up a lady on tv right now who DOES embody that.. Tina Fey's character on 30Rock, Liz Lemon. Lemon is AWESOME! If you haven't heard of 30 rock, click here and read up on her character's wikipedia page. I would totally watch a show about her and her cool funny friends.

Until then, I will keep surfing the web for SATC movie spoilers, counting down to spring when it arrives in theater near me, and watching the repeats on TBS.. patting my self on the shoulder knowing that I can quote about 84% of each and every episode (thats actually a pretty good estimate)

And Liz Lemon, if you need a sarcastic fellow spinster in the making to grab a coffee with, gimme a holla! Plus we totally have the same ringtone (Ride of the Valkyries)

Not a branch.. but a TREE fell on our car this morning

If this isn't an awesome way to start off the week, I don't know what is! I'm sure this will be a funny story once the tree has been removed... double blerg!

update: tree was removed. lots of dents and scratches, but our neighbors car windshield got cracked. and thats why people have car insurance, for random ass occurrences like this! thank you for all the comments yesterday. we're already crackin jokes about this

I need your 'wisdom'

SO, today I visited Mr. Oral Surgeon, and got the great news that I should get my wisdom teeth out.

The only thing that bugs me, is that he wasn't like:
"You absolutely need to get this done, your wisdom teeth are at war with your teeth and at one point, a jagged incisor will pop out of your cheek, and mess up your Benetint Cheek Stain makeup"

He was more like:
"Yes, I see some wisdom teeth, and this will be a great preventative measure! Either they'll never bother you.. or next week you could have an infection in your gums!" (but said in a very nice kind of way)

Honest to blog? For shizzle? Fortunately- my insurance will pay for some of it and it'll only come out to me paying around $950. But wtf. There are SO many flippin' things I could do with that $. Plus I'm going to Mexico in April and do not feel like going through this chipmunk cheek phase beforehand. Whaahh whaaahh whaaaah.

Tell me everything about wisdom teeth removal. My doctor did not get my joke when I said I'd need to wikipedia the options (aka anesthesia, sedation, etc..). I would cherish your imput
**as long as its shiny happy stories about how it tickles and you instantly lost 15 lbs as soon as the procedure was over!**

blerg. at least Lost is on tonite!

Britney the next Knut??

Meet Knut (pronounced Ka-noot). He's a polar bear who born in December '06 and was raised by humans at the Berlin Zoo after his mom abandoned him. He was the next big thing.. a superstar in the making.. there were Knut magnets, tshirts, stuffed animals, you name it. And he loved it all. Then he turned 1 and things changed. Just this week, a famous zoologist dubbed him a psychopath.

"He is a problem bear, who will never mate and has become addicted to human company and their delighted applause.

"He howls and cries if there's no one out there to show off to [you can hear him from the zoo entrance], and as soon as spectators come, he calms down and starts performing. It's like a circus." [source daily mail]

And now meet Britney Spears.. who last week ( and arguably the past 8 months as well) was dubbed a Psychopath in my eyes . She's like a caged Knut looking for attention by the tabloids.. she's even dating Adnan, a fellow paparazzi. I hope Knut's story ends better then the fallen pop princess.. and lets keep KFed out of Berlin gosh darnit!

Fellow RIT'er in a Super Bowl Commercial!

What many of you may not know is that the National Technical Institute for the Deaf is located at RIT.. so I was psyched to see an Alumni Email blast this week mentioning that an alumni is featured in a Pepsi commercial airing during the superbowl tonite! I watched it on Youtube, and absolutely LOVED IT! He is the guy who is seated in the passengers seat and his name is Darren Therriault. Check it out. Oh. and GO PATS! asdljkfadsljkadsflkjasdflkjsfda

update: commercial was played during the pregame show. And we lost, so please feel free to kick a bostonian when they are down and comment away. Congrats to the Giants. One love.
