My 2 cents on the Royal Wedding

I thought I wasn't going to care about the Royal Wedding, but turns out...i totally did.

-First things first. Kate Middleton is SO BEAUTIFUL. Seriously folks. She is stunning and not in a model-esque type of way but in the really pretty and normal kind of way, like a British Katie Holmes but without being totally weird.
-Next, if you're going to wear a hat, make sure its a normal looking cute one. Like this Princess from Spain, or whatever she is. Also i love her dress. Those princess cousins were like ugly stepsisters and their fascinators were outrageous and gross. On the Fashion Police on E!, Joan Rivers said one of them looked like they had an IUD on their head, and seriously, its true. I am not going to post those pictures because I'm about beauty over here, I'M NOT A MONSTER.
-OK maybe I am a monster...i thought this little girl was handicapped(shes obviosuly not, and it was brought to my attention that this joke, wasn't funny. You guys don't really think that I make fun of handicapped kids or speculate that kids have mental illnesses, for real, right????) I am sure she is DARLING and HAS THE FUNNIEST PERSONALITY but really, shes destined to wear an IUD hat (true), folks. Does she have irises in her eyes or are her eyeballs also flesh colored (it looks like she has flesh colored eyeballs, also true)?
I'M TOTALLY A MONSTER. Sorry.
I did say that i am sure she is darling and fun. NOT ALL KIDS ARE CUTE on the outside. Duh. But they are defenitely ALL CUTE on the inside.
-Top 2 moments for me were 1) when Prince William leaned over and said to Kate, after her long walk down the aisle, "You look beautiful."
And 2) when he leaned in for the second balcony kiss and she giggled for a second.
Want to know why those were my favorite moments? Because they were human. The rest of the whole ordeal was just not emotional enough of for me. I WANTED TEARS. Every wedding I have been to, the couples who love each other show it with a little bit of waterworks during the wedding ceremony. I mean GOSH! Why are British people such robots?!? Am I right, or am i right?
-Kate's McQueen dress was obviously stunning. I really am a sucker for a wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline. They keep saying everywhere that it was a "plunging neckline" and I don't get it. PLUNGING? really? I wonder what would be said about my Jcrew vnecks that i wear everyday...I must be seriously slutty if that is plunging.-The showstopper though for me was Pippa and her dress. First of all, Pippa, you're a DOLL. Look how cute her figure is! And also, what a good sport for carrying her sisters train for like 30 minutes (slavery). Could have done without the babies breath and tendrils, but maybe that's like the IT thing in England. Also I really wish i was like 9 months pregnant with a girl and hadn't thought of a name yet...Her name would totally be Pippa.

-Lastly, I think the cake needs a mention. I only included the picture with the baker, because I wanted to make a point. If I was to have ever thought about what the Royal Wedding cake would look like, I'm sure I would have thought it was 13 ft tall and like 500 layers. 6 tiers is all. That's like nothing. I am pretty sure i have been to weddings with cakes bigger than this one. It just proves that Kate is totally normskis like they said. Just your everyday gal. (Yeah right, she was totally rich and pretentious before, duh)
And there you have it. I am purging my brain of all things Royal Wedding now.

Fred Savage and Asia

I am in LOVE with Adam Pally.
He plays the straight/gay guy on Happy Endings, my new favorite show.

Hes HILARIOUS on the show, and hes hilarious in real life.

Riding Shotgun with Adam Pally from Fred Savage

here he is interviewing Fred Savage...i have watched this like 30 times and i die everytime.
the best is when he says "youre a jew...is your wife asian?"

and in related asian news, I was at Best Buy today in the middle of UCLA campus
and this WIFI popped up on my phone...


little kitty emoticons.
Hilarious.

its only funny if you know that Westwood is crawling with asians.
i say that with love cause i love asians.

Just some TV thoughts...

-Khloe and Lamar is staged.
There is no way he, or any other man, would pick up a bloody tampon.
side note. I AM IN LOVE WITH LAMAR ODOM.

-I know im probably the only person who watches 90210, but who does Silver live with?
Does she live alone? If shes bi-polar and also 17, it just doesn't seem like a good idea.

-Parenthood is over. Therefor a part of me has died.
I was talking to my friend tonight and he said "i think i may have Aspergers."
to which i replied..."You don't have Aspergers. I watch Parenthood. You don't have Aspergers."
He laughed, but I'm serious.

-Sister Wives is no longer interesting to me.
Kody, get a haircut and find a fifth wife who doesn't put me to sleep.

-Paul is now off idol, so I'm pretty bored with it.
Mainly I watch it for Jennifer Lopez.
Is there anyone alive that is prettier than her? Can you believe shes 41 with that skin?!

-Bethenny is my favorite to ever come out of the Real Housewives franchise.
I would love it if she moved to LA and I could be her nanny.
Plus my number 2 reality crush is on her husband, Jason Hoppy.

-Desperate Housewives and Brother and Sisters should have ended last season.

-I watch Dancing with the Stars now that i have a friend on it.
I never liked the show before and last season i sort of half-ass liked it to support Chelsie.
This season I'm like full on in love with it and am totally mesmerized by the boring dancing.
Also i love when they are awkward, like Kendra. I totally love Kendra.

fin.

How Great Thou Art

I cry everytime i hear this song...

also how beautiful is Carrie Underwood? Still totally girl-crushing on her.

Happy Easter everyone!
Hope you have lots of candy, spend the day with family and friends and of course, at church singing "How Great Thou Art."

I might be a hipster...

Have i totally turned into a hipster?
There was a day when i wore hoop earrings, lived in bootcut seven jeans and TBD shirts.
I was rocking pointy toed stilettos and loving Britney Spears...

my old age has turned me into such a DIY blogging hipster...
What in the world?!?!?!

exhibit A:

changed some bootcut pants into skinnies...

exhibit B:

wore heidi braids today...

exhibit C:

refashioned an old pair of white jeans (not cute) into perfectly hip wide legs, with a cuff! Impressed?

I need to move to silverlake before my full transformation.

obsessed

im so obsessed with this song.

Adele, we've all been there.
You speak to my soul, lady.

BFF

What up, Chuy?

well well well

its about time i did a real braindump

-Roxanne tweeted about Possesionista and its now my go to site whenever i see a show with a dress i love or something. Mainly Possesionista LOVES emily and michelle money from the bachelor and so if you want to look like them (i do) than i suggest you copy everything they buy.

-So i have O blood and I'm going to try and do the blood type diet. You know, feed my blood what it wants....My blood doesn't want gluten, wheat or dairy. But you know what it does want? Reeses. Blood wants what blood gets.

-I always get a cleaning bug. The problem is my cleaning bug doesn't last long enough to get anything fully clean, which just results in more of a mess, or a misplaced mess. Its real frustrating. But at least my bed is in a new spot.

my closet looks nice, but don't be that impressed because there is still crap everywhere.

-Because i decided to "clean" my room, i did ALL of my laundry. Well i know i mention this every time i clean my room (not that often) but i have to buy new hangers every time. This time i had to buy almost 40 new hangers. WHAT THE HELL? TO be fair, when your room is a mess sometimes you step on hangers and break them, but maybe 5. I guess i got 35 new shirts and dresses? I wish i knew. I don't think that's possible.

-Tomorrow is Chelsea Lately day. Going to a taping with my girl, Gabes. It better have a funny guest or I'm going to be pissed.

-I wish i could get tattoo, but i wish it was only semi permanent. Like maybe 2 years. Cause i know after 2 years i would definitely not want the same tattoo i have had.

-Sometimes (all times) I fall asleep with the TV on.
Mostly i never change the channel because im watching stuff that is DVR'd.
I don't know why my TV ever ended up on what appears to be PBS or something like it
but i am so glad it did, because i woke up to this LOVELY workout show.

i think i may start taping this and trying it (not really)
because this lady looks totally thinner than me.
So i think she must be onto something.

-does anyone else besides me feel sorry for the winner of "the Voice?" I know it hasn't even started yet but whoever wins has to be ugly right? That's basically the premise of the show, is it not? The ugly version of American Idol?

-Scream 4 is HILARIOUS.

-The cute little bow-tied gay man who works at JCrew in Century City knows me by name and LOVES me. Like he wants to be friends, and I'm totally into it. He doesn't even get annoyed with me when i just come in to browse (weekly) and don't buy anything. But if you're going to buy something, buy my summer staple.

-Disneyland pass is back in my life. Who wants to go?

-I think I'm going to lighten my hair significantly. Thoughts?

-Saw this guy at the mall yesterday.
He works at the Tmobile kiosk outside the Apple store
and he has AWESOME hair.

and yes, i got that close to him and he never even knew.

-Sometimes i find blogs on twitter and i just laugh and laugh all day.
I want to be friends with her and her.
They live in LA so I'm going to use the power of the secret to make this happen.
They would be flattered right? I mean i am normal and fun.
I love it when randoms comment on my blog and stop me when they see me around town and say hi.
It should happen more. Go ahead, comment and introduce yourself.
I promise i don't think its weird.

and thats all i got.
plus, i have to get back to my stash of candy

RHNY

It's no secret that I love me some Real housewives
(except for Atlanta, new Orange County and...Miami, which doesnt even need to be mentioned, obviously)

Obviously my fave is Bev Hills, cause i'm a west coast lady who happens to live a stones throw from those crazies and their big lips.

But my second runner up is New York, for sure.
They are a different breed of wacky.

Who are these women and where do they learn how to communicate? From monkeys?
Its so entertaining and such a train wreck and i just love it.

Who is your favorite?

Ramona is mine. And then Sonya.
They've got crazy in their eyes and money in their wallets.

I roll every week.

I found this girls tumblr blog and shes spot on with her RHNY commentary.
Read here and here to catch up.

and i just saw a commercial that New Jersey housewives comes back on May 16th!
YESSSS!!!!

i feel like a kid again!

It seriously sometimes feels like i am 16 again going to all these shows.
I used to love this stuff, and its nice to be reminded every so often that its still fun!

Went to the Lenka/Greg Laswell show tonight at the Troubadour.
That place is rad.
Its so small, not really a bad seat in the house.
Unless of course, you're 5 feet tall (me), then you are screwed.


Lenka was so darling.
I became a fan tonight.


Greg has such a soothing voice.
His stuff was a little too mellow and melancholy for me, but his voice...its butter.

I'm a fan of the ol Troubs.
Definitely going back.

You aren't better than me

This post is a bit of a rant.

I LOVE TV.

I'm not afraid to admit it. My DVR is my best friend (not really, that's pathetic).

I'm sick of people saying "oh i dont really watch tv" I'm going to call your BS on that one.
And if its true, i feel sorry for you. You really are missing out.

I read. I like to be outside. I'm social.
You aren't better than me because you don't watch TV. In fact, I'm better than you.

According to my friend Heather "NPR did a story on it and said those people who look down on tv are almost never at home reading big books"

If you want to be as cool as me, watch my favorite shows that are on TV right now
(Friday Night Lights trumps everything, but its over now....wahhhh!)

Favorite drama: PARENTHOOD
Tuesday nights at 10pm, NBC

I cry every episode. I feel like the Bravermans are my friends. In fact, I wish my name was Shauna Braverman. That would be the best. I want to babysit for Julia, marry Adam, and name my first son Crosby.

Favorite Reality: tied between ANYTHING KARDASHIAN and SISTER WIVES
Sundays on E! and Sundays on TLC

I love the Kardashians, specifically Khloe and Lamar, so obviously i am most excited for their new show this Sunday. Sister Wives is just a whole lot of crazy that I just cannot look away from.

Favorite Comedy: MODERN FAMILY
Wednesdays at 9 on NBC

Sophia Vergara is the most beautiful and hilarious woman on TV and she does Physique 57 and now so do I, so basically I'm going to look just like her soon.

Favorite Contest: AMERICAN IDOL
it seems like its on everyday

I love Idol, specifically this season...Mainly its because of JLo. Second runner up would be Paul McDonald. What a hunk.

Favorite Late Night: CHELSEA LATELY
Nightly 11pm on E!

Chelsea Handler is so crude and crass and its so funny to me, I can't even stand it. Throw her new show into the mix, After Lately, and i about wet myself.

Favorite Newcomer: PREGNANT IN HEELS
Tuesday 10pm on Bravo

I just saw this last night for the first time and i couldn't have loved it more. Reality, Crazy, and babies. Everything i love.

If you can keep up with this, let me know and i will give you a list of about 20 more shows to watch.
You're Welcome.

It's a beauitful day in the neighborhood...

I love my neighborhood.
I live in Westwood.
Home of movie premieres, UCLA and less bums than the rest of LA.

Today was such a nice day, so I went on a run.
After my run, I decided to take some pictures of my neighborhood.

Picture overload...get ready.














hahaha BET

if you're ever in the nieghborhood, stop by!

Disney Birthdays!

Yesterday I got to spend the day at Disneyland with one of my dear friends for his 32nd birthday.
(how did i get old enough to have friends that are in their 30's?)

Brandon was my next door neighbor in Provo, when i was 21...he was 26.

you like my dead eyes?

Ty, Brandon and I headed down to Orange County for a day of fun, only to meet this gem of a lady on the tram ride into the park.

She was wearing bride ears WITH A VEIL and she had no man by her side wearing the Mickey ears with the tophat.
She was alone.
Part of me wanted to cheer her on but the other part of me just kept thinking "what the weird?"

We got reservations to eat lunch at the Blue Bayou in the Pirates ride.
I've been to Disneyland a bajillion times but had never done this place, and it was so fun and magical!

Isn't Brandon so handsome?




Ended the day at Grizzly Rapids...we weren't planning on leaving the park at 3...but....
we got soaked.

Brandon and I, pre-soak

Happy Birthday, you old man!

iPhone Braindump

I have a lot of stupid pictures on my phone and what else am i going to do with them?
Might as well blog them.

The first time I facetimed, it was with Casey. I was videochatting with Lindsey at the same time, and so we videochatted and facetimed all at once and IT WAS THE FUTURE
I made Sliders.
Like i literally made them by getting ground beef and adding onions and seasoning to it and shaping patties.
I have never shaped patties before and I sort of wanted to throw up.
But they were GOOD.
For work i took a vehicle to a place to have a car seat reinstalled.
This woman did it, it took about 15 minutes, and this was my view for the entire 15 minutes. LOVELY.
This neighborhood "Beverly Park" has 2 gates. 2 guarded gates.
Its insane.
Its the neighborhood that Lisa Vanderpump and Adrianne Malhoof from Real Housewives live.
Denzel Washington, Magic Johnson and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill live here too.
You'll probably never get inside. And i probably saw it for the first and last time, so don't feel so bad.
They took a copy of my drivers license and took my picture. IT WAS STUPID.
I love the trees in Sherman Oaks
Did you see the jersey shore episode where Pauly D made fun of Dina's full on denim outfit?
I died laughing.
Next day i was driving in Van Nuys and spotted a denim disaster.
This woman was dragging this baby through Panda Express in a high chair.
I think she didn't want to hold him, thought this would be easier.
There was no way it was easier...but i think she was just committed.
I hate these lights on cars that flip up. So 80's.
So "Brave Little Toaster"
Reunion dinner with Mallory (hadn't seen her since we were 19!) at Javier's in Newport.
No picture with Mallory. Also not pictured at dinner with us: Nicole, Adam or baby Evie.
Oh man shes cute.
Basil with a side of Tortellini.
Birthday dinner at the french restaurant, Figaro, with Jasey.
Self portrait which i am usually 100% against, but i looked pretty this day and i wanted to photograph my new middle part styling.
(i will never get over how much i love my vintage Armani tortoise shell glasses)
Middle part again...Megan and I at wicked.
Favorite new nail polish color.
Essie Merino Cool.
Jen gave it to me for my birthday.
This was the day it was 88 degrees out. OH MAN I LOVE LA WEATHER.
Can't say it enough.
Lindsey and I went to Cafe Rio for dinner the other night, this guy was on his cell phone the whole time....didn't need to stop to put his phone down to eat because he wore those BIG ASS headphones to keep it in place.
Poor mans blue tooth.
Jasey and I were talking the other night about my art skills. I realized i haven't really done anything technical outside of the paintings i sell. He challenged me to draw something in detail so I drew him. I never finished it, but it made me feel good that i could still draw a human face with a number 2 pencil.
Even though I drew a chinstrap (i did finish the beard later) he doesn't have one.
Smallest little teensy car spotted on Sunset Blvd.
Cheapest gas by my house $4.19 ROBBERY
When i go to a dinner party with people who drink, I like to bring them something for their wine bar...its the polite thing to do since they are feeding me, and because I am usually bringing myself a Diet Coke for myself.
I don't know a thing about wine so I buy the bottles with the labels i like.
My first Bananas Foster...SO GOOD
homeless guy walking AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE totally in the middle of the street.
We are talking, a busy road. 3rd street. DANGEROUS.

the end.
