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.

Choose Your Currency Preference, and Why Was Bethenny Getting Friendly With Coco's Booty?

Hi all,
I filled out an online application recently.
One of the questions was, choose the form of currency you would like to get paid in.
Hello...
I viewed the choices, then scrolled down to the appropriate choice, US dollars.

I am not sure if online applications really give a voice to the jobless.
And, Sister! I would just like to get paid.

New topic.
Bethenny is very skinny. Bethenny has a tv show. Bethenny is annoying.
I know of Bethenny because I saw that she tried to drink a glass of vodka, I believe, off of Coco's butt. The day Coco visited on her show, she did get very, uh, friendly with Coco's booty.

That day Coco discussed her bikini booty tips.
I am not sure if I trust Coco's bikini booty tips.
Nobody should, unless they want their booty to be that big.

New Edition made an appearance in Dallas this past Friday. I have missed the boat in informing you of their awesome resurgence (Who doesn't like "Cool It Now"?).
However, if you want to drive to Little Rock, you can see them at the Verizon Arena. Or, catch them in the Motor City's Chene Park on August 1.
Cool it, now.


Goodbye. Happy July 1.

"Matthew Fox Is Hotter Than Lava" And, Do Not Negatively Affect Your Job Search

Hello, and Good Afternoon,

The other day I was making fun of Matthew Fox. (Mostly commenting that he has not been in anything lately!)
I am familiar with him mostly due to the TV Show Party of Five. Of course, I was a devoted fan. He has also been on the show Lost.
A friend, who implied that Matthew Fox is still hugely great...but was joking, said "Matthew Fox is hotter than lava."

Enough said.

On the front lines: I am planning / would like to get more competitive with jobs. It is a girl, or female trait to be agreeable, not to stir things up. This can negatively affect your job search.

I am realizing there are things I wish I would have learned 14 years ago when it comes to job searching.


Music News: none right now.

Stay tuned for a collection of stories. I hope it takes the form of an E-book. (not related to the blog).

Also, I watched the first episode of DALLAS, which aired recently, and it was okay. Enough said.

Life Is Short, Eat Dessert First. And "You're So Polite, You Remind Us Of My Grandmother and Her Aunt."

Hello and Good Afternoon,

While at White Rock Lake this past weekend, I talked to a guy named Roderick. He is a skinny guy with glasses, who looks like he runs. Beside Roderick was a pillow that states, "Life is Short, Eat Dessert First."
Roderick, who is in his 60s and retired, sits near a tree at White Rock Lake. He gives Free Advice and has been doing so for 17 years. Another man named Neil also gives free advice. Some of it is serious and some, not so serious.
A few seconds after I walked up, Roderick said, "You're so polite. We were just talking about my grandmother and her aunt," he gestured to a woman cyclist and fellow advice recipient sitting nearby. "You remind us of them."

It was a sudden compliment. I didn't know whether to be happy, sad or confused. I remain the first and the third options.
I was impressed that he likes to spend his time--hours on end--offering advice to strangers, for apparently no reason at all.

During our brief conversation, Roderick told me that his aunt once dated Ronald Reagan. At the time, she ended up breaking up with him, because he was "not fun enough."

At one point a cyclist rode by near Roderick.
"When is the end of the world?" He shouted, a bit sarcastically. Roderick casually smiled and ignored him. I was thinking to myself: he gets this all the time.

New topic: can a negative experience also be gratifying? I have wanted to write this comment earlier... earlier as in last Tuesday. Because... dear readers... I had a negative experience last week, but it was also gratifying.
Usually for me, it is completely the opposite.

The End.
Have a great day.

I will be doing a guest blog for my friend Gloria's blog soon.

Is It Okay To Say, "My Life Back" When 'The Wife' Asks What You Want For Breakfast?

Hello.

I was listening to 102.1 FM today.
One of those little snippets came on, between songs, and a voice said:
"GOOD TO KNOW: When 'the wife' asks you what you want for breakfast, my life back isn't the correct answer."

Oh ha ha ha -- I think.

If that is really the situation, I think you need to say, "I want a divorce."



Listening to: NPR.

Dr. McB**** Takes Over The Airwaves

Hello,

I was watching the show Nurse Jackie with a friend.
It stars Edie Falco.

At one point a cranky doctor came on the series.
The friend said, "there is Dr. Mc B****"

Also this was a reference to Grey's Anatomy.
A little while later, the doctor was on the phone and said the word B****
So I said, Dr. McB**** just said the word B****.
I don't know why it was funny. It just was.


Also, can you be a nationally certified resume writer? If so, do you take intense classes on resume writing?

Goodbye,

This Is A True Photo From 7-11. And, "We're Not Paramedics, We're EMS." Huh?

Hi mateys,

Witness this photo I took in the window of an area 7-11.

This is not a very good deal.
It does not indicate on the poster how much the coffee drink is. If the coffee drink is $10, the 50 cents off is not a Sweet Deal.
I am a fan of good deals, but this is just a silly poster.

Next.
I was at Brookhaven College. I was trying to locate someone to ask about their paramedic program. I encountered two students. One was male. I asked them where there was an office where I could get some info.
(I did get to find an office--but first...)
The male student said, "We're not paramedics, we're EMS." EMS as in Emergency Medical Services? Huh?
Lovely.
Just Lovely.

Goodbye.
TGIF ?

Now, Even More Accessible.

I heard the song Freak Me Baby, by Silk the other day. (This link is only the song, set to a picture of Silk. Not as exciting as the real video, but I could not find the video). It is eerie to hear a song you have not heard in 15 years. If you are freakin' dying to hear Silk, check out 105.7 FM.

I am a huge fan of Regina Spektor. At the risk of sounding like a boring fan, I can't wait to hear her new album.

DALLAS Haunts You. So Does Jesse Metcalfe. And, Personal Space. Check Into It.

Dear all,

Here is a possible fun sequence:
You turn on the television at 7:59 tonight. You turn to TNT.
By Golly, it's Jesse Metcalfe and he's spouting phrases about oil.
Here is poster for the series.

Welcome to DALLAS. See a video at the link.

The main components I remember from the original DALLAS series are: big hair, glamorous people, and it was something I wasn't "supposed" to watch.
The new show has big bangs to fill and--in my opinion--high-as-Reunion-Tower expectations. I doubt it will live up.

Oh, also, I heard a voice on 102.9 FM today--her name was Tara-- discussing how the "oil scene" is "Very hot. Very hot." I hope they didn't use the same oil we put in our cars.

Music "brief": The Stone Roses, a group I have mentioned in the past, did not play an encore performance that was requested recently in Amsterdam.

New topic. A while back I blogged about this: I again was having the experience today of people being too closey-closey.
If it happens when I am in the grocery store, I plan to have a good phrase handy, such as,

"Personal Space. Check Into It."

The End.

Step 1. Go to dating website. Step 2. See Happy People With Kindred Eyes And Perfect Lighting. 3. Amazingly find perfect dates.
After discussing dating websites with someone, I realized many are too funny to not mention.

Check out these cool shoes, which I noticed on the Richland College campus. A guy named Six was wearing the shoes. While I was taking the picture, one of his friends commented, "he is really happy right now."
