LOVE IT!!!

Before you read my rants and ramblings of the day, please check out this outfit that I am obsessing over and must purchase NOW!!

I watched THE BEST show last night!! There were good forces, and of course, there was evil. My favorite line was "I can't tell who I'm running against sometimes"... It was HIGHLY entertaining and unexpectedly fascinating. I do hope that you all got a chance to see it for yourselves, as opposed to having others tell you how it went. I thought it was even a nice little preview as to how people behave when they are under pressure, and I thought only one lost their cool. Regardless, I LOVED IT!!! I thought the underdogs really stood up for themselves, and won in the end, and it was truly a nice change of pace from the mean kids...

I do however find this disturbing as I hope Edwards is not siding with who he thinks the nominee will be with each debate. I thought he did very well last night, however, when it looked like Obama would be the nominee post-Iowa he opted to tag-team Hillary with Obama, and now when it looks like Hillary will be the nominee, he tag-teamed Obama with Hillary. I really like Edwards, and my gut tells me this is not the case, but this post-debate "meeting" between Hillary and John last night troubles me very much...

I didn't blog about this yesterday, but I also LOVED the Amazing Race finale!! I thought the winners were precious, and that the two runners-up won as well, actually. It was awesome!!

In random news I actually got the chance to see the entire 9 minute Tom Cruise video- which is hard to find because they keep switching it to different websites to avoid being sued. Prior I had only been able to see bits and pieces. You really should catch it while you can. This stuff is GOOD, and his cackle might be worse than hers... you decide!!

While you're at it, check out this creepy website about Scientology related deaths. I'm not saying it's true... just really really creepy!!

I caught two politically hilarious videos this morning. One was quite insightful, as if you're basically going to run for President again through your spouse you should probably skip events honoring Martin Luther King if you're this tired...

Also, across the aisle, one of those cute Romney boys punked his Dad on the phone, and it was fabulous... seriously!!

BRITNEY SHOWED UP!! I can't believe she showed for her deposition, although I'm not sure it was actually her or the "British girl". Hope she switched personalities back before speaking on the record, though I would be quite entertained if she actually gave the entire thing with her new accent.

In really random but completely not shocking celebrity news, this article and video allegedly show Amy Winehouse smoking crack cocaine... wonder if she has Britney's number? They should really get in touch.

Okay, nobody make fun, but I am SO EXCITED about this show on MTV!! I actually can't wait, which I realize reduces my maturity for my age by leaps and bounds.

I also just caught this press conference, which I find laughable, as one should not throw stones when living in glass mansions... especially when those stones are full of fluff. I find it ironic that when Obama finally stands up for himself against false accusations by two Candidates, both of them named Clinton, who take every opportunity they can to distort his record, Obama is actually accused of being "very frustrated". See for yourselves. I guess I differ in my opinion of what type of behavior is displayed when one is "very frustrated", such as this example and this one (which is HILARIOUS by the way!).

And if there is a flip-flopper out there in this race, please take a minute to see who that person actually is...

By the way, I am not even going to discuss the Oscar nominees today, since the best movie, best actor, best director, and best original song were all completely SNUBBED. Here is the video for that amazing song below. And I really do mean it's AMAZING!



Hope everyone had a great day off yesterday!! Have a Happy Tuesday!!!

PS- GO ELI & GO GIANTS!!!

I'M STARTING A NEW CAREER...

OMG... I am SO excited!! I think I might FINALLY know what I am going to do for a living!! I hope everyone can be happy for me and supportive throughout this process. I am very determined to be victorious.


I AM GOING INTO ACTRESSING!! Yep... that's right! I am so hoping to knock people onto their feet. Alexis from American Idol has inspired me to be victorious in this pursuit, and I fully believe that I will be.


Victorious. Always Victorious.


Anyway, as far as American Idol was concerned, it felt a little like a bad vacation for the first 30 minutes but then when Alexis arrived all was right with the "Idol" world again. I was surprised at how nice the Judges were this time. Especially Simon! When they walked that girl named Tempestt outside after she didn't make it I thought he was a really nice guy. There were others who didn't make it through for obvious reasons, but I'm not going to dignify Chest-Hair Man, or Princess Leia at this point.


There were a few people I loved who got through to the next round too, but of course I cant remember their names right now. All I remember is Alexis, and that she is going into actressing to be victorious. I can't get past that. I've told 2 people already of my plans to follow Alexis' career path...


On the political front, KUDOS to John Edwards, who I thought won the debate last night. Wouldn't it turn this thing into a FASCINATING CIRCUS if John Edwards won South Carolina?? I thought that Obama & Billary were far too busy focusing on each other and working to be "politically correct" last night to notice that Edwards was beating them...


I would like to add that this is not a very good way to suppress votes in Nevada... especially when everyone knows about it. I find it ironic that the Clinton's were all for the exception to let the caucuses in Nevada occur inside the Casino's in Clark County, where Las Vegas is, since that was the only way to ensure minority voters could participate back in March when it was approved and passed. But then, lo and behold the Culinary Worker's Union, who make up almost the majority of those who would be participating in these Casino Caucuses endorsed Obama instead of Clinton, and now their ability to participate simply must be stopped!!


Early voting starts today in Tennessee, for anybody who might be interested in fighting off the crowds and the people standing outside with their supporters shirts on asking for your vote. It lasts through January 26th.


In really SAD news, actor Brad Renfro from Knoxville died yesterday at age 25. He starred in the "Client" ages ago, and if I am not mistaken was the "Grand Marshall" of one UT's Homecoming Parade's while I was a student... am I remembering this correctly?? Regardless, it's very sad.


I was distraught this morning when I found out this news, as I had so been planning a future with Matthew...


In creepy father news, Jessica Simpson's Dad is rumored to have sold out his daughter and her QB boyfriends plans to vacation in Mexico the week before Dallas lost to the Giants, thus cementing that the "Jessica Jinx" will follow her around until next season. I read that he tipped photogs off to when the private plane was leaving, and to where the couple was staying in Mexico, so he could get a share of the profit from the pictures. I would probably put this story on the not-credible side of things except for the fact that this creepshow has been selling out his daughters for years, and probably should have been cited by name in Nick & Jessica's divorce papers.


Nashville girls, you missed a glorious sight the other night when Ashley Judd's handsome hubby chased an intruder on foot and then by car in his boxer shorts in Nashville. We always hear about these awesome spectator events after they have happened...


On the diet front, why is it that I can eat well beyond any number of "points" when NOT dieting, but that since I've been on weight watchers I have only reached my daily points minimum twice... and never gone over!?!? I feel like I would literally have to be eating all day long to meet my points for the day. And I'm not a snacker, not big on eating more than one meal a day kinda-girl. Am I supposed to change all that to meet my points? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose if I am eating when I am NOT hungry? Right now, I am drinking Orange Juice, which I HATE because it has empty calories in it that I can use for points... is that ridiculous or can anybody else relate here??


ANYWHO, HAPPY WEDNESDAY FOLKS!! AND BE CAREFUL... WE'RE EXPECTING SNOW!!!

PS- has anyone noticed how attractive Mitt Romney's sons are? That might be the only good thing about him staying in the race ;-)
