Anderson Cooper Keeps Himself Honest and Keira Knightley: "Seriously Unwound."

Dear all,
I guess no more mentions of Anderson Cooper's cute butt. (And, this was only mentioned because it was found accidentally on the internet. honestly). He is gay. And, there is not much to comment on. (While I am slightly distraught).
Of course he is still a great journalist and reporter.

I read a review by Mark Holcomb in the Dallas Observer of the movie Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World.
Needless to say, I loved it; it would be on a north dallas homegirl What's Hot list. (Please read it!)


In the review, he calls Keira Knightley "seriously unwound" as a perky neighbor.
Very disturbing, Keira.

No fashion mistakes to report on.

May you have firework after firework tomorrow.

The End Is Near ... I Mean The Blogathon. Silly. And A Correction For Big Rig Dance Collective. And, Dharun Ravi.

Dear I-Wish-I-Was-Still-Eating-A-Hot-Dog-On-Memorial-Day Reader,

I am sorry, that yesterday the link to Big Rig Dance Collective's Kickstarter.com video did not work. I stand by what I said in yesterday's blog.
Well, I do get the point of their production. Maybe it's not my thing. Here is the actual video, just in case you're longing to see.



(A serious note).
In 2010, Dharun Ravi used a webcam to spy on a tryst between his roommate and another man. The roommate committed suicide shortly after that.
Here is a link to a Los Angeles Times story. It is making news because Dharun Ravi has just issued an apology (Huh? Two years later?).
Very, very sad.

I checked for some Anderson Cooper news. I wanted to see if there was any "aftermath" to his kicking a guest who had had a lot of plastic surgery off his show. I did not find any, but I did find a link to his "sexy butt" taking out the trash. Yay, I think.

This post marks the Official End of the blogathon. In the future, I'll be posting less (Not once a month, however NOT every day). I decided to do this after my friend Gloria told me about it, and also encouraged me. Thank you, to anyone who took a chance and decided to read north dallas homegirl.

The tragic end,

Anderson Cooper Says Audi 5000 To A Woman, Mapsco Goodness, And Flowers That Turned Out Very Bright

Dear Readers,

Anderson Cooper told a woman who has had a LOT of plastic surgery to get off his show, calling her "dreadful" (Interesting word choice. Was he trying to be British?)

I have enjoyed the son of Gloria Vanderbilt for some time.

Yes, I am still a fan of Anderson Cooper.
Here is the confusing part: I always considered him a serious reporter (have you seen AC 360?). That is why I liked him. With his talk show containing oodles of soccer moms in the background, I am thinking, what in the world happened to Anderson Cooper?

I remember him reporting from serious locations, such as after Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana.
It is very hard to gel the image with the daytime chatter (Co-host one day recently: Rebecca Romijn!!)

New topic: I shared a grouchy exchange with someone today. The other party was grouchy first. What goes through my head when someone is super grouchy or kind of mean: 1.) Why does this person hate me? 2.) What did I do to offend them? 3.) Do they really matter, or, does their approval really matter to who I am?
I am trying to get to the third thought more quickly.
I know this "segment" was a little random.

I bought a Mapsco today. Even though maps are easily accessible with iPhones, I still want one. Do not ask why.
Some have already told me, "you don't need that, you have it on your phone." However, I am keeping my d*** Mapsco map.
Lovely. Just lovely.

The End. Good Evening,
