BRILLIANT.

OVERHEARD.

GETTIN ANTSY.

I am now finally putting my nose to the grindstone and the ground and the pavement and am starting to look for a job. I am ending the party known as my arrival and am actually going to try and make some money. This notion is both exciting and traumatizing.That is more traumatizing than my job search.

I digress.

I am also going into operation "Reign It In" which is where I will 1. start paying attention to how much money I am spending and 2. stop spending so much money. Should be pretty simple and work out well.

My mums was in town for the weekend and had a lovely time gallivanting with her and the sister around the 'hattans. I bought a sweater, a bra, and a bagel with smoked salmon at Zabar's and celebrated my 1 month until my birthday day. Also, my sister scored free tickets for the two of us to see "Legally Blonde" because her friend plays in the pit.


And I must say that Bailey Hanks who won the role on MTV's reality show was actually adorable and did a great job. Yey for her.

The show had some moments of hilarity, but it was a bit like watching a badly planned sputtery crackhead fireworks display on the 4th of July, except with a lot of pink instead of red, white and blue.


What? I know.

Shitty thing of the week: I forgot to TiVo the New Kids on the Block VH1 Behind the Music.

Tragic. They HAVE to re-run it.

ONE MORE THING.

I forgot to mention that her holiness made a guest appearance on Grey's last night.

Yes I did scream out loud when she got out of the limo, yes her face did look pulled tighter than a drum, but you have to love her. The woman is a theatre legend and there is nobody like her. I'm just so, so sorry that my girl B got stuck with such a stupid, crappy episode. Why couldn't they have done a 2 hour musicalized premiere? THAT would have been amazing. Can't you just see Callie singing some love song to Dr. Han and a really intense song of banishment sung by my McDreamy to Rose? And then Bernadette could have had an entire number to herself where she contemplated life with a man who can't speak anymore who has also slept with her best friend. And Lexie could have sung, "On My Own" while roaming the halls thinking of George. It has the potential to be so incredible. I should contact Shondra.

DOUBLE WTF???

NEXT WEEK ISN'T EVEN NEW??? I AM FLIPPIN' WITH RAGE.

WTF???????

OK. Am totally pissed about the premiere of Grey's. I have to admit it was total and complete poop. I am really upset.

Like, really upset.

The only good part was when the creepy man army doctor man sucked face with Christina. And it wasn't even that good. There was no funny and everyone was grumpy and that is not the way I want to see my homies at Seattle Grace after such a long separation. And, McDreamy barely had any face time.

Shondra needs a talking to.

VOTE AWAY FROM HOME.
