Your gone for 2 days, and all heck breaks loose!

Since writing on my blog monday,  I can't believe how much stuff we need to catch up on (all 5 of us,  still waiting for Kathy)!  Yesterday was a huge day of events.  First off,  I read on line that Tyra (she should drop her last name,  and just be known by a single name you know like Cher or Celine) is going to develop a new reality show,  and the winner will land a fashion magazine contract,  to work at the magazine.  Now that's a show I WILL audition for!  I have fashion sense (o.k. their was the one time when I was at orientation for college,  and I wore vertical striped shorts with a horizontal shirt,  but other than that,  I've been on track).  I know not to wear white after labor day (t-shirts are o.k.) and not to wear white socks with dress shoes and dress pants (come on,  the Michael Jackson look with white socks and slacks is over!  Move along to the dress socks department)!  I will have to find out,  how to apply for the show.  Also yesterday,  I see that their going to make new versions of both Freddy Krueger,  and Friday the 29th,  I mean the 13th (Its been so long going.  When will Jason finally be able to rest in the lake in peace?) movies.  Of course being the horror/slasher movie fan that I am  (more like sucker),  I will go see both.  Then I'll go home from the movie,  and be in the bathroom getting ready for bed,  and fling the shower curtain open because I think they will both be waiting for me (although I do have a clear see through shower curtain.  Could you pass me my toothbrush?  Thanks Jason!) I can't believe that movies like that STILL make me scared after the fact.

Yesterday also saw 2 of our presidential hopefuls drop out of the race.  John Edwards (not bad looking.  He'd be good for a one nighter!) and Rudy Giuliani (he can finally go back to doing his drag routine in vegas at the freemont street theatre!)  Now we only have McCain (sounds like a bad sandwich named by McDonald's),  Romney,  Huckabee (I did see the movie,  not bad!),  Hilary,  and Obama.  I thought of this bumper sticker just this morning for Obama.  "Tell your mama,  to vote for Obama!"  Not bad (duh!)  And the race goes on.......

Last night was the big night,  The Blue Man Group concert.  It was very entertaining!  The "men" had a warm up act and his name was Mike Relm.  He was from San Fransisco (so gay),  and he used a combination of d.j. style mixing of scratching records,  and mixing it with images on a big t.v. screen.  25 minutes later (thank god!) he was done,  and the "men" came on the stage.  They put on a great show!  I was kinda hoping to see some nudity,  but no such luck!  Maybe that's a vegas thing!  Anyway,  they played music on huge drum barrels with multi colored light coming out of each one.  They had skits,  audience participation, ( blah,  blah,  blah).  I would love to see them again,  but in vegas.  They did say they were giving away a trip for 4 to see them in vegas at the venetian,  If you went to their website,  and subscribed to their newsletter. (you think Im going to give you the website,  so my chances are even slimmer of winning?  NO Way!  o.k. If you want it,  let me know,  and I'll give it to you!)

I also read on yahoo this morning about a little girl who's 10 years old,  earning a degree in vetarinary medicine.  I can't tie my shoes some mornings,  but she earned a degree!  Mind you,  If you take your pet to her,  make sure she knows your pet is a REAL dog or cat.  One slight distraction and she will not be paying attention to what she's doing!  "Look,  its britney going to the hospital,  for her mental illness!"  All of a sudden,  the needle slips out of her hands,  and lands on your pet where it shouldn't have!  Poor fluffy!

Finally,  the list of top "Cash Queens of Music"  were announced.  MADONNA was #1 (hooray!) followed by "babs" Barbara S.  Then Saline,  I mean Celine was 3rd.  Shakira (hoochie) was 4th. Beyonce was 5th,  Gwen Stephani (who's expecting her second child.  That trailer park is becoming a reality even faster) was 6th.  Christina A. was 7th,  followed by Faith Hill at 8th (Tim the hubby,  is so yummy!  Somebody stop me!  NO REALLY!) The Dixie Chicks were 9th,  and finally Mariah Carey was 10th (finally,  she cracked into the top 10 of some list!)  Britney ranked 14th (maybe it wasn't a good year for brit?  Just a feeling Im getting!)

That's all I have for this blog (thank god!  It was the longest I've ever written)!  Happy Kathy Griffin thursday!  I will be back on saturday with an update on the tryouts from monday,  and what part I received,  and also whether or not miss Kathy finally responds (I think we all know how that shapes up already)!  Have a good one!  and as Tim Gunn would say "Carry ON"! 

Its Tuesday already! The week's almost over ( o.k. not really!)

Well,  another weekend has come and gone.  The funny thing is,  I never really do anything fun (yeah,  serving pancakes is a blast!  LOL).  Friday evening,  I caught up on some t.v. I recorded from the previous week.  Celebrity apprentice was the normal boardroom antics (your fired!  I always wanted to say that!) with some olympic softball girl named jenny getting the axe (not literally)!  I also watched project runway.  This episode the designers had to make a garment out of levi's jeans and jackets (the company provided the materials for the challenge,  it wasn't some poor sap named "levi").  Some designs were good.  Others,  you get the idea!  Saturday evening I came home from work early (hooray!) and was flipping through the channels,  and flipping,  and flipping.  About 10 minutes had gone by.  How can nothing be on over 300 channels,  and on a saturday night (its unheard of)!  I finally watched of all movies "Texas chainsaw massacre,  the beginning".  It was the newer version from 2006.  I can' believe that story ACTUALLY happened!  They said so on a tag at the end of the movie!   This family killed 33 people from 79'-83'.  Holy cow!  Where are all the sheriff's and police?  How bout' the military? And don't tell me they were all busy taking a coffee/donut break (o.k. maybe they were,  just don't tell me!  Don't get me started.  Don't even get me started)!  movin' on.......

On sunday,  I finally got the answer to my burning question "did I get a part in the new equinox theatre production"?  HECK NO!  First off,  the director had told all of us that he would call us either way by friday,  since there were so few of us who turned out for the audition.  Friday came,  no call.  Saturday came,  no call.  Finally,  on sunday he sent me an e-mail,  saying he was trying to "lock down" the cast (go to your room!  no dessert for you!) and that's what had taken so long.  Maybe he should "lock down"  a finger on a keypad on a phone or a computer BEFORE sunday.  I mean,  really people!  If your going to promise something,  you should follow through.  At least TRY and follow through.  Look at Britney, ( a prime example).  I read on line yesterday that britney is ACTUALLY good for the u.s. economy.  She brings in $120 million per year (and she doesn't even have to lie on her back for it!  You go girl!)  who would have thought our little britney could be good for us ( I never saw that coming,  honest!)  Since I didn't get a part with the equinox theatre,  I auditioned last night for the firehouse 5 and The Music Man.

I will know by friday @ 5:00 p.m.  and they know how to keep a promise!

I'f any of you (all 5 readers,  still waiting for Kathy!  Love you Kathy!) like paula abdul,  and like randy jackson from american idol,  then you should go to i-tunes and play their new song.  Its danceable like we know paula to be!  I think you'll get the song in the 30 seconds you listen to it,  rather than buying the entire song for .99 cents.  Im still wondering If both of them are going to be singing the song at the super bowl?  We shall see.  

Finally,  I want to send a shout out to my friend Larry S.  who passed away last week.  I went to the memorial service yesterday,  and it was very touching and moving.  I have known larry for 8-9 years now,  and I learned some things about larry yesterday at the service I didn't know about him.  He was very artistic.  He brought a lot of humor and wit to everything in life and I will truly miss him!  Larry,  If you can have access to a computer in heaven,  please read this,  and know that my blog will forever be here for you to laugh at,  and I hope that one day,  when we meet again,  we'll be able to pick up our friendship were we left it off!  See you all on thursday with a blue man group review (yes,  Im going!)  and Kathy thursday!  Take care and stay warm and safe!  

I missed a day of blogging! Don't worry, I am here to catch you up!

O.K. I know I missed like 2 days worth of blog writing on here.  I was going to write my blog,  as usual yesterday,  but I wasn't feeling all that great.  I think it was something I ate the night before at work (don't let that confession detour you all from eating at the restaurant!) but now Im back! I just got a phone call on my cell,  from what is probably a collection agency,  looking for a Francis James.  Francis,  If you read this (highly unlikely),  please call Christa!  That way,  she ISN'T calling my cell number,  looking for you!  Thanks.  That would be great!  O.K. where was I? Ooh yes,  yesterday.  I wasn't feeling all that great,  so I decided to catch up on some of the shows I've recorded (apparently using the word "taping" is out.  Who knew!) from previous weeks,  that I hadn't watched yet.  I caught up on The Celebrity Apprentice (all 3 episodes to date).  Most of the celebrity's I have heard of.  A few I haven't.  Like,  for example some former playboy playmate named "Tiffany" (her real name or an alias,  who knows.)  The Donald fired her,  because during a team challenge,  she didn't call Mr. Hefner,  to get him to buy a hotdog for $1,000,000.  That better be one tasty dog!  Gene Simmons,  of kiss fame was fired last week.  I need to watch last night's episode (obviously),  to see who was kicked off.  Omarosa,  Is on this celebrity apprentice.  I remember when she was on The Surreal Life,  with Janice Dickenson and Omarosa pulled a butcher knife on Janice,  during a cast photo shoot.  The Bitch is crazy!  Moving on.  I haven't seen any of the American Idol auditions,  but I plan on watching tonight,  and will give you all (up to 5 reader's now),  an update!

Well,  even though I wasn't feeling good yesterday,  I still was able to go and see SWEENEY last night!  Ooh my god!  It was so good!  Can you tell how good it was!  Im using exclamat!ons way too much in my sentence!  Johnny was everything I hoped he'd be.  The movie was just amazing.  I plan on buying the d.v.d when it comes out (and I never buy d.v.d.'s!  O.K. I did buy the departed,  but that was a gift for mike for christmas,  so it doesn't count!)  He sang amazing,  the costumes,  the set,  the blood,  I mean it was just incredible.  I know he's nominated for best actor,  but I think he may have some competition,  what with Daniel Day Lewis,  and Viggio (and that naked sauna scene-yummers!) up against him also.  I looked at the list this morning before writing this blog,  and I have never heard of any of the best actress nominated movies,  expect Juno,  and the actress who plays her.  O.K. there is Laura Linney,  for her role about her dad,  and Kate Blanchett for her version of the queen (been there,  done that!) but there really isn't any one actress,  or film that they're in,  that stands out.  We shall see (hopefully),  who wins on feb. 25th.  I know most of you have heard that Heath Ledger died on tuesday.  I think we are all saddened at what has happened.  I just wanted to mention it,  and say how sad it is,  that we lost such a talented man.  

Well,  Im off to send this to Kathy,  with an apology for not sending it yesterday,  on Kathy G thursday ( I came up with that!) and I will let her know that I wasn't feeling well.  Maybe she'll send me an e-card,  and tell me she'd love to meet me (yeah,  right!) as soon as she has some free time!  Until next time,  I will see you on monday ( I need some material.) morning!  Take care and have a great weekend! 

Still freezing (both here in montana and in hollywood!)

O.K. I have my first retraction (and hopefully my last)!  Yesterday I mentioned that joel madden and nicole richie named their daughter winter.  Turns out that's her middle name.  Her first name is Harlow winter.  Whatever!  Maybe nicole should read a baby name book (or have someone read it to her,  and have common names read aloud.  Not names like paprika or black pepper) next time (Yikes!) she has her next child.  Thanks to my faithful reader buckycatt for the correction!  Now onto my audition last evening at the equinox theatre.  When I got there,  my friend debbie was already there,  as well as 2 other men.  I filled out my audition form,  picked up the copy of the script to read from (nicely marked I may ad!) sat and began to prepare.  About 15 minutes later,  who walks in to audition,  but miss Alexis (lap dance anyone)?  She walks in and says "How long do you think it will take?  I brought my dog,  and she's in my car but I left the car running so she'll stay warm."  WHAT!  O.K. its like -15 below,  and she brings her dog to an audition in the freezing cold!  Bad owner-Bad owner!  I told her that the director is taking people one by one,  according to where their name is on the sign in sheet (I was 3rd).  At this point about 6 of us were waiting to audition when Alexis stands up and says in her out loud voice " its too quiet out here (lobby of theatre),  how come no one is talking with each other?"  Hmmm.....Im going to go out on a limb here and say BECAUSE WERE ALL TRYING TO PREPARE FOR THE AUDITION!  Then she proceeds to sit in front of me on the floor to visit with me.  She then says  "I think I'll come back in 30 minutes.  I want to run to the store while Im waiting,  and go by myself some cake,  then I'll eat it while I wait."

Honey,  don't you know the first rule of auditioning?  You stop at the store AFTER your audition,  and buy junk food to ease the pain of how awful you read!  (Or to celebrate how great you did)!  I think I read really well.  Im proud of how I did,  and I'll find out on friday either way

(as well as all of you!  It could be good or bad.  Let's find out together shall we!)  

Now onto the Oscar Nominations.  I read most of them this morning on line.  It looks like the frontrunners are no country for old men  (8 total)  atonement,  although keira knightly was snubbed for best actress,  and so was the director (poor keira),  george clooney for nominated for his lawyer movie (drawing a blank at the moment).  I was surprised (and I mean surprised) when I read that Viggio was nominated for eastern promises ( that steam room scene with him naked and you seeing his junk and all.  Now that's the clip they should show during the awards show)!  And yes,  Johnny was nominated for sweeney.  Although tim burton wasn't for direction.  I will run down the entire nominee list tomorrow (and probably have to correct yet again more retractions due to my mistakes in what I read about the nominees!  OOPS)!  I need to go make sure my car starts,  I will see all tomorrow (or thursday).  Stay warm!

Its SO cold! How cold is it? I can't feel my fingers while typing this blog!

Happy monday to all!  O.K. there's never REALLY anything happy about mondays other than maybe an occasional payday (highly unlikely),  but I figured it was worth a shot!  I can't wait to see sweeney todd on thursday!  I hope Im not going to get all excited about the  movie,  and then go and see it,  then be disappointed!  I hate that.  Johnny has never let me down in anything he does.  And tomorrow is even a bigger day (bigger than sweeney or kathy) because the Oscar nominations will be announced.  And who do you think will be discussing it on here?  ME! (duh).

There wasn't really much of anything happening over this past weekend.  Well,  o.k. Christina Agu (I can't spell her last name,  so that's how IM going to spell it!) had a baby boy!  Congrats Christina.  I also heard that nicole richie named her son "winter".  I have two words to that PA LEEZ!  I know that nicole can't read even a simple comic strip,  but to name your son after a season.  I thought her fiancee' was even smarter than that!  Unless HE picked out the name?  I guess well never know,  until the kid spills his guts on "extra" when he's 18 or something.

"Cloverfield" was # 1 at the box office over the weekend.  I DO want to see it,  If anything for all the hype its been getting.  That's what I said about "snakes on a plane",  and the snakes looked so fake!  We all shall see what the movie had to offer after IM done with it (can't wait for that.  somebody hold him back!)

I am going to the Equinox theatre tonight to audition for their upcoming comedy "how I learned to drive".  They only have 2 parts for 2 males (obviously),  and 1 female part.  I should go for the female part!  LOL (no seriously!)  I will let you know how the audition goes tomorrow.  I think they pre cast their actors,  but we'll see.  I would be shocked (yes shocked),  If I WAS cast for a role!  But I'll just pay the director off for the part,  and IM in!  That's all I pretty much have for this edition.  I will have much more tomorrow (oscars,  auditions,  etc.)  Hope everybody stays warm!  I know I will (I have a blankie!)  See you all tomorrow!  

 

So many stories to cover, where do I begin? (Try the beginning!) Good idea!

Friday is finally here!  Sweeney Todd is finally here!  I,  of course am waiting until next wednesday to see the movie with my friend becky (who by the way FINALLY was able to log onto my blogspot!  You go girl! *snap*!) only because she told me that If I didn't wait for her to see the movie,  she was going to fulfill my comment out in real time,  and actually become sweeney's twin sister,  and cut me with a shaving blade (yeah,  I think I'll wait for her.  My face is too pretty to be used as an example of what happens when you DON'T listen!) I've waited this long,  I can wait another 5 days (torture!) but enough about sweeney (gasp) moving on to other matters at hand.

So yesterday,   I e-mailed Kathy Griffin (yet again!)  about my blogspot page.  I told her she should mention it in her act while she was performing in front of the audience (yeah right!) I was surprised when I read the list of winners,  who won tickets to see kathy in New York at Madison Square Garden on January 29th.  My name WASN'T on the list of winners who had won tickets (I know,  I was just as shocked as all of you are right now reading this!)   I mean,  I thought I had a good chance,  what with the obsessive e-mails to her website on a weekly to bi-weekly basis!  Ooh well,  that just means I'll be meeting my idol in person someday (like in a court room setting with me as the defendant!) I did notice she's playing in Reno, Nv in May sometime (road trip!) Anyone interested in going to Reno in May to see Kathy,  let me know!

I was so busy bashing georgie Michael's book deal yesterday (remember $7.00 in the bargain bin @ Border's!) that I forgot to mention Oprah's new t.v. channel (o.k. mentioned it,  moving on!  LOL) deal.  For those of you who have been in an internet coma (highly doubtful) Oprah is going to have her very own t.v. channel called OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network.  Try and keep up people!)  I was trying to spell out the letters a different way,  when I first saw the station letter's on line.  Like Our Winfrey Now!  Or Ooh Winfrey Now?  You get the idea.  Not that I have anything against Oprah (all her money and power),  but do we really need an actual t.v. channel with Oprah 24/7?  She already has the market on everything else!  What's next?  She buys an entire country and decides to run it?  OOH wait,  she already started that idea with Obama!  I haven't decided who to vote for in the upcoming presidential election.  Maybe I'll 

hand write in my candidate,  like sponge bob square pants (go sponge bob!) Bob 4 PREZ!

Finally,  I read on line just this morning that Lindsey Lohan has been sentenced to do 4 hours a week of community service in a mortuary.  Those poor dead people!  Can you imagine what that's going to be like for those who no longer are able to live (although there COULD be some miracles happening once she walks into the room,  and all of a sudden,  they see lindsey.  Talk about waking up the dead!) She shouldn't be helping with hair and make up, "why does margaret look like a $5.00 hooker?"  And she shouldn't be helping with embalming "how do you turn this thing on?  Is it like a vacuum?".  Why don't they have Lindsey doing what she does best,  picking up trash and putting it in  a garbage bag without any feeling or remorse!  (She should start with her last 2 movies!)  That's all I have for observation for this friday.  Hope you all like the new format layout.  I'll be back on monday to recap the weekend!  (ooh goodey!) 

Only 1 more day, and SWEENEY shall be here!!!

As some of you who read this blog (all 3.  Thanks again.  I would love to send you a gift just for reading this blog on a regular basis,  but I only have my words which should be gift enough!) sweeney todd will be here tomorrow.  Although I would love to go on opening night (I even bought white hair color to give myself that skunk look that johnny has.  Guess I'll save it for halloween and go as the barber!)  I am waiting to go with my friend becky (besides she WOULD become the demon barber of fleet street,  had I not waited for her to see the movie.  Put the shaving blade down slowly!) I will wait until next week when we can go together and see johnny slice up his victims,  while singing about it (sorta like j-lo's last album and movie!)

Now that Desperate Housewives will not be back until 2010,  I noticed on the t.v. schedule line up,  that ugly betty is pumping out new episodes this week and next.  At least we'll have betty for awhile,  until they air the last episode written before the strike,  then betty will be back until 2011.  I read they may cancel the grammy awards show because of the strike (finally,  the 1 show they NEED to cancel!  Come on,  who really wants to sit there for 3 hours and watch performances by the nominees,  and then be teased with a "coming up,  album of the year" 15 times during the show,  then finding out who won 30 minutes after the grammy's were supposed to be over!  Just tell us who won the stinking statue,  and let's move on!)  

Last night while watching t.v .(or lack of)  I saw this stupid commercial for walmart (like all the other commercials they've had were brilliant!)  Like the commercial they played over and over this past holiday season with the kid leaving a "hint" poster of the dvd's he (or she) wanted all over the house,  so mom and dad would see them but not right away.  Mom and dad would be getting out of the car,  and there would be a gigantic "hint" poster of the movie they wanted on the garage door,  or on the shower wall,  even on the ceiling of mom and dad's bedroom!  I don't know about you,  but I was never allowed to go into my parent's bedroom,  let alone wanting to.  It's kinda creepy to think these kids went THAT far to plaster a movie poster on the ceiling of their parents bedroom!  Hmmm....they make these things called paper and pen!  Anyway now walmart has yet another classic (not) commercial for the "big game" day.  It shows these housewives in their favorite football team attire,  preparing snacks for the game,  and then showing the woman running through a line up to her livingroom,  high fiving her guests to tell them her snacks(which she DIDN'T even slave over all day to make.  Yeah,  its really hard to open a box of wheat thins and dump into a bowl!) are ready for the "big game".  Gimme a break!  Get a life (myself included!)  No one cares where they buy their game food,  as long as they have it when their team is winning,  so they can celebrate with a chip and dip(literally!)

Finally,  I read this morning on line,  that George Michael has signed a $7 million dollar book deal with harper book publishing,  to write his autobiography (you ACTUALLY have to write it george,  and not while at a public restroom either!)  This book deal that georgie got,  is the largest pay out for any book to be written in history.  Harper doesn't need to pay george 7 million big ones  (maybe 7,000,000.  No wait,  7,000 that's better.  O.K. 700.00 more like it.  $7.00 in the clearance bin at border's, now that's priceless!)  Do we really need to purchase a book about george and his troubled life as a closeted gay man who meets stranger's in a public restroom,  and who also does drugs here and there?  2009 is going to be  good year!  

Today is also my 2 week anniversary of my blogspot!  And I plan on sending Kathy Griffin my address every thursday,  until I receive at least a comment from her on here!  Wish me luck!  (I know Im going to need it,  especially when I have to post bail,  and make my 1 phone call.  The person I choose to call,  better answer the call,  and not have me go to voice mail or press 5 to send a fax (get rid of that option on your voice mail people!)  Until next time..................................
