Infomercials - It's a love, hate relationship.

Once when I was about 6 years old I saw an infomercial on TV. It was right after I learned how to use the telephone. The infomercial I saw, if I remember correctly, is about markers that you blow in and it sprays onto the paper. I was so intrigued by it and I wanted to buy it SO bad. Of course, I was 6 and had no money. I called the phone number anyway and began talking to the sales person. My mother found me on the phone and yelled at the sales person for trying to sell a product to a child.

I do think that all this led to me now loving infomercials. I love watching them, however I refuse to order them. Sometimes, they get really annoying too. It's a love/hate type of relationship. I will say though, that the Shamwow guy is definitely trying to be Billy Mays. Billy Mays slightly annoys me, but I still can't help but be drawn in by infomercials.

My current two favorite infomercials are the BumpIts and the Cricut. The BumpIts are a hair insert that help bump up your hair. They have the original one that helps give you a small/medium bump and then they have the Hollywood one that gives you a pretty big bump. I was watching the Tyra Show and she (with some guests) helped test out some infomercials. This was one of them and it was a guest who tried it out. The guest LOVED it and said to "get it!" But I feel like it might not actually work with me, pff. Oh well. My next favorite infomercial is the Cricut! I absolutely LOVE scrapbooking and this is an awesome scrapbooking machine. It has cartridges that you put in it and then you simply press some buttons, slide in the paper and it cuts out what you want. My friend Bleyton, her stepmom has one and she seems to be happy with it. The only thing is it's super expensive and the cartridges are expensive too. If I had lots of money I would defintely buy one! Maybe on Black Friday I will! For now, I'll just spend the nights I can't sleep watching infomercials. It's really not as bad as people think.

I Was Bitten by a Vampire!

Well, not really. But I did bite myself. I bit myself 9 times in the same spot, inside my lip. Why exactly am I counting? Because I bit it about 3 times in the same minute. So I wondered how many more times I would do that. Honestly though, I wouldn't mind getting bitten by a Vampire, as long as his name was Edward. Yes, I am one of "those" Twilight fans. Since coming out on DVD I've seen it about 6 times. Today, after work, me and Bleyton intend of watching all the DVD extras. I'm sure there will be some quite interesting things in there.

I will also have to say that I feel like the New Moon film is going to be way off from the book. I don't know who's read the book and who hasn't but well I'd have to probably say if you read it don't be upset when the movie comes out.

Uhhh, this may seem off topic, but it's really not. I'm watching the Kid's Choice Awards from Nickeloden (Don't ask why..) and they just showed "Favorite Movie" and I'm really surprised that Twilight wasn't even nominated. You would think that it would even be the winner because there are all these kids sooo obsessed with it. The nominees were Bedtime Stories, The Dark Knight, High School Musical 3, and Iron Man. Well obviously out of those three HSM3 won. No shocker there. I'm going to have to post a seperate entry just on how strange these awards are.

Random Thoughts

What's the first website you go to when you get to your computer? For me it's usually Facebook, but not today. Since signing up for this blog I can't keep my mind off of it! It's totally fun to put random things on here, not just thoughts and to put different layouts. I love being able to personalize it, and to write on it of course. I feel like this blog might honestly help me with my gossip problems. Gossip, gossip, gossip it's just so fun. I love being able to know what's going on with celebrities and new movies, shows, music, etc. I would love to be a Gossip Columnist, ya know, maybe a little Carrie Bradshaw type thing.

Speaking of Carrie Bradshaw, I was just reading Leighton Meester's blog (Blair from Gossip Girl) and she had a Sex & the City quote on there which I absolutely love. "It's infuriating! Women sit around, obsessing about what went wrong, while men just say 'alrighty' and move on." - Episode Cock-A-Doodle-Doo. I totally LOVE Sex & the City and I feel like it's basically a girls guide to dating and love. When are they wrong on that show? NEVER. You know why? Because all these crazy problems actually happen. Maybe not to you or me, but definitely to someone. I also can not wait till the second movie comes out! I know it'll be something good. I did buy the movie, which came with a digital copy for my iPod Touch, and now I'm waiting on the seasons. For about the past 6-7 present buying occasions I've asked my mother to buy me the seasons, and still no Sex & the City. Maybe I'll stop being lazy and just buy it myself!

I love how everything I write can lead to a different thought that I want to jot down. So, speaking of lazy I have so much work to do! I have to write a paper on Anne Frank/Diary of Anne Frank for History and 5 - 4 page papers for Politics. I need to pick 5 national politics topics and write about it. Usually I would just put a little history/background information and put my opinion and boom, I'd be done. But my Politics Professor definitely said "Do not put the history of if it, and do NOT write "I" in the papers." Oh, well there goes my papers.. Well I'm going to head off to do that, and then get to bed soon, hopefully. I have work all day tomorrow. I know I'll be coming back with some crazy story. G'nite!

Wicked the Musical to be a Movie!

So recently I went to NYC for the first time. While I was there I went to Broadway and saw Wicked, I fell in love! So I was talking to my friend Bleyton about it and she told me they were going to turn it into a movie. (She knows everything about pop culture!) We were then talking about who should be the main characters in the play. My favorites would be;

Anne Hathaway as Elphaba
Amy Adams as G(a)linda
James Marsden as Fiyero
Richard Gere as the Wizard
Meryl Streep as Madame Morrible
Emmy Rossum as Nessarose
Lucas Grabeel as Boq

And I have to add how I am totally falling in love with the soundtrack. When I saw it I saw Nicole Parker as Elphaba and Alli Mauzey as Galinda. And let me tell you, I absolutely loved Alli Mauzey as Galinda! Me and Bleyton are planning to go to NYC this summer and I would LOVE to see Wicked again, with the same cast! For my first Broadway show I think it was amazing. Wicked was amazing! I can't say it enough! The next show I'd like to see is maybe 9 to 5. I wish Legally Blonde was still on Broadway. But we'll see what pops up in the next couple months! =D

This Week on TV.

[Monday]
Secret Life of the American Teenager - Wow, John? Terrible. I think this is the worst season finale I've ever seen. Actually, I think the acting is getting worse with time. That's all I have to say.
Gossip Girl - Oh boy do I love Blair & Nate. Jenny bothers me, I wish they would've picked an actress that fits the books descriptions better. (I know you agree Bleyton!) Chuck needs to get back into the school scene, it's bothering me that he's just in his own little world half the time.
One Tree Hill - Sucks for Dan! I wish he would've just gotten that heart. Hopefully Julian lasts a while, I totally love him. Mainly because I love Brooke! And well, I'm not so fond of Peyton so I rather not pay attention to her. I think I totally like Mia's (Kate Voegele) new song! Manhattan From The Sky.
Jon & Kate Plus 8 - I haven't even watched it yet. I've been irritable and I feel like Kate might just drive me nuts!

[Tuesday]
The Biggest Loser - Well, Aubrey Aubrey.. It was time for her to go home. She'll be fine at home, probably not but we can pretend. I totally love Mike and his dad Ron! I want them to keep on with the good work. I also really like Tara. I love the fact that people try to mess with her, I don't think the other contestants realize that all they're doing is adding fuel to the fire. I won't mind if Helen is next to go. Next week, hmm... I wonder what's going on with the contestants who went home. I'm really interested in seeing Daniel, Estella & Jared, and Carla & Joelle are doing!
Dancing With the Stars - WHHHHYYYY?! I mean, I'm not the biggest Denise Richards fan but there are others who need to go. Steve Wozniak has got to go! Seriously, he wrote on his blog that he's the reason their ratings are high, uh DOUBT IT. I didn't even know who he was until the show, and even when I did find out.. I still didn't care. So anyway, anyone can go for now, as long as it's not Shawn, Gilles, or Melissa.

[Wednesday]
America's Next Top Model - Sandra needs to go, and so does Tahlia. Sorry about the burns girl, but come on.. You're not that good, and Kortnie should have stayed. The end.
High School Reunion - Haha, this show is so funny! 40 year olds acting like high schoolers. Way to call out Marisela about being a prostitute. Even if she is, at least she looks normal. I thought Jessica was a tranny at first. Hm.. I wonder what the truth is about the prostitution thing, I guess we'll find out next week!
The Real World - I honestly feel bad for Ryan, I hope he'll do okay! But Katelynn, really.. you should not have been gambling, especially since it wasn't even your money. And WHAT? A fight! On the season finale? OH I can't wait. We'll also be that much closer to the Duel 2!

[Thursday]
American Idol - Adam bothers me SO much, ick. Also, I'm really not that surprised about the vote off. That's all I have to say.
Grey's Anatomy - This is so sad, it's my favorite TV show and I'm getting so bored with it. I hope Izzie lives, and I hope they give her a stronger role. And poor Cristina.. hopefully Owen will fix up and they'll get back together. And hopefully Meredith actually makes it down the aisle.
Private Practice - I enjoyed seeing Idina as a guest star. I mean, her husband is on the show! Ohh Taye Diggs, you are so cute! I'd really like to find out who the dad of Violet's baby is. Hopefully it's Petes. And now to Addison, how funny that her little makeout session with Noah was while it was raining. Coincidence? I think not. But really though, I like Noah. Hope he stays! And a little memo to Dell, grow up. Thanks!


I feel like I missed something. Ah, I don't know. I watch too much TV, I actually Tivo too much TV. I still have to catch up on my Tyra episodes for this week. I already watched the sterotyping one from Monday, I think I might watch Corbin Bleu next! But yes, this is what I think on my shows from this week!

fmylife.com

Have you ever read fmylife.com? If you haven't, you should. It's a website where people anonymously post why there life sucks, in like a sentence. Whenever I'm in a bad mood I choose to read it, and it's actually quite funny. Some make me feel bad for the person, sometimes the person deserves what they get, and sometimes it's all so random. For instance, I was just reading it and there was one that I felt was just so dumb, it definitely made me say "what?" -- "Today, I repaired a boiler for a wealthy guy in a big house. While there, I fixed a leaking tap for free. When I went to go, the man slipped something into my shirt pocked and said "have a drink on me." When I got to my truck, I discovered that he'd given me a tea bag. FML." That really sucks, a tea bag?

So this is my first time blogging, not really. I used to have a livejournal but I don't even know what happened to it. I was also never actually committed to using it before, but I feel like this time might be different. Today my friend, Bleyton, told me she was starting a blog and I should start one also. I have a couple other friends who blog and seem to like it, so I figured "why not". But rather than just starting to spill my guts into this thing I'm going to finish my Thursday night tv shows then gossip on what I think. Be back soon my little blog buddies!
