Pinky's Fandance - Janina Gavankar
Janina Gavankar might possibly have The Best Job In The Entire World because she gets paid to make out with Sam Trammell on True Blood.
How am I not working that job? I would rule at it!
Best. Surprise. Ever.
HUGE thank you to my brother, Jay, and his family for my amazing new pink bike!!! I came home today to find it sitting in my garage. I'm so excited!
Apparently I can take it over to Toys 'R Us and get it put together for $10, which is a huge relief as neither me or my dad are very mechanically inclined and I don't want it to sit in the box forever. So cool! I can't wait to ride it. Thanks again! :)
Celebrity Wrap Up - Monday Edition
Hello and welcome to Monday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
OK, seriously, sweetie, put on a bra and stop wearing your pajamas out of the house, m'kay? Thanks.
Hot damn. Now there's a mighty fine looking panel.
Speaking of fine....Joe is just one super hot drink of water. Yum.And the hotness keeps on coming! Hi, Thor!!
No, Biebs, you do NOT count as hot. Get off my screen and find a hat that fits your gigantic head.
How About Call You Definitely???
Have you heard the Carly Rae Jepsen song "Call Me Maybe?" I hate to admit it, but I'm a little bit in love with it. I can't help it - it's totally catchy and fun to sing.
In fact, my friend Mikey and I were passing time in the barricade the other day by singing it out loud. I'm sure everyone around us was a big fan. Ha!
Pinky's Fandance - Camilla Luddington
Camilla Luddington isn't just going to be on the new season of True Blood - she also played Kate in the Will & Kate wedding movie and she's on Californication as a nanny.
As I had no idea she'd be at the True Blood premiere, it's entirely possible that I totally lost my shizz when she came over. I was excited! She was so sweet - after I gushed about her work, she asked if she could give me a hug. All together now...awwww.
Can I Get A What What?
And while we're on the subject of things that don't make sense, why are the shortest weeks at work the ones that take the longest? TGIF!!!
Celebrity Wrap Up - Sunday Edition
Hello and welcome to Sunday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
I just adore Jon and Jennifer together. They're the freaking cutest. Oh, sweetie. Is it really as bad as all that?
I'm confused - where should I be focusing my eyes?!?!
NOT FAIR! She gets to star in a movie with Fassy AND look like that? Some girls have all the luck.
It's so weird to see SJP in summery clothes and not all bundled up. At least it looks like they invested in a brush. Hooray! :)

Survived A Battle (AKA The True Blood Premiere)
Last night was the premiere for the new season of True Blood. All I can say about it is...I survived. Part of me really didn't want to go, because I already have pictures with most of the cast and having to wait all day in a barricade is really, really, really horrible. I mean, don't get me wrong, it can be fun, but on days like yesterday, it was not a joy. It was a battlefield. I have bruises. I feel like I went to war.
Luckily my cute friend Scotty was able to save a spot for me until I could get off work. Yes, I did get out of work a wee bit early, but I definitely wasn't in the barricade at 7 a.m. like the others (more like 2:30 p.m.). Ugh! The premiere wasn't until 7 p.m.! Of course, how could I stay away when my true love, Sam Trammell, would be in attendance? I mean, he had to have support from his #1 fan, right?!?In honor of the premiere, I made this adorable necklace to wear in support of my TLF. He loved it! In fact, he actually said, "I love ya, Pinky." Did you hear that, world?!?! HE LOVES ME!!! Sadly, I was looking around for a video camera so that I could hear him say it to me over and over and over again, but no matter. I'm sure I'll hear it on a constant repeat in my head for years to come. Wait, what?
I think this is a pretty good view of my horror. See behind me? Yeah, that's just one side. There were approximately a million people pushing directly behind me. Well, perhaps that's a slight exaggeration. But it sure felt like a million!
Overall I'm glad I went. I ended up getting 25 pictures and even a few autographs for my friend Chuck in Texas. Wahoo! Successful day for sure; I just wish it didn't leave me so beat up afterwards.
Pinky's Fandance - Fran Drescher
For the record, I love Fran Drescher just as much as I hate when people make the "peace sign" in pictures. I don't know what it is, but it drives me crazy. Not that I'm against peace or anything, but why is it necessary? Just smile and move along.
Still, I really do love Fran Drescher. I loved the story of her pitching The Nanny on a plane to the guy sitting next to her and how much spunk that must've took. I love how successful her show was and everything about Fran Fine's character. I love that she walked away from her husband who came out of the closet but still remains best friends with him and even created a new show with him. I think she's an amazing person and I was thrilled to finally meet her. Just look at my smile - I'm bursting!
Is It A Guy Thing?
As I work in a predominantly male atmosphere, I've noticed one very interesting thing: They wear the same clothes. A lot. Like, every day. As a girl, of course, I'm prone to notice such things. I mean, I understand wearing the same pants or skirt more than once a week, but the exact same thing? For five days straight? I can't tell if they have five of the same shirts, or they wash them every night and then re-wear them, but just about every single guy here wears the same thing (not a uniform, their own thing), every day of the week.
Now, obviously, I don't care. I don't think it makes them any less of a person, I just find it curious. I'm horrified if I wear the same thing in a month (but, then again, I do happen to have mountains of clothing in my closet). Of course, when I go home, I've got a few standard "uniforms" I wear (read: lounge clothes). There's nothing better in the world than lounging around in your comfy clothes...which is maybe the point? Perhaps they're wearing comfy clothes to get through the drudgery of everyday life? But it's probably not as complicated as all that. They probably just don't care.
Celebrity Wrap Up - Saturday Edition
Hello and welcome to Saturday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Um, is that some sort of fishing trap?I have no words. Oh, wait, yes, I do. When did you rip off Bjork? And where's the egg? Or the swan's head?
Oooh, Matthew Morrison in glasses?!? Yes, please.
How on earth did Katie get a hold of my rocking denim skirt from Junior High School?
What bothers me about this picture is how close the photographer was. I mean, was he driving the cab, or what?

Sammy The Stubborn Dog
I'm always amazed by the strong personality displayed by my seemingly innocent dog. If he doesn't want to eat, he won't. If he doesn't want to sit on that chair, he won't. If he doesn't to...well, you get the idea. I don't have to spell it out for you.
I'm also impressed by his ability to sleep anywhere at any time. Why don't I have that skill? I mean, look at him. He looks so peaceful and content. Right there. On the floor.
Of course, a short distance from him lies his actual dog bed. Not that he sleeps in it at night, but he's been known to chill out there from time to time. Obviously he didn't feel like it in this picture. Would it really have been so far for him to just walk over to the bed?!?! I mean, really.
Pinky's Fandance - Jenny Mollen Biggs
Ever since I (finally) met the hysterical Jenny Mollen Biggs in person I've been wanting to create this amazing post wherein I compare all the ways we're alike. Of course, at the end I'd have to contrast the fact that I only pretend to be involved with / married to a celebrity, when she actually is, but no matter. I still contend that Jenny and I are BFFs who would totally laugh and bond and hang out if given a chance.
As today is Jenny's birthday, I thought it was the perfect time to finally post our picture together. Hooray! Jenny recently performed at the Hollywood Improv and did a great job in a little ensemble show called "Twitter Comes Alive." After reading her articles and Twitter feed for so long, it was awesome to finally get a chance to meet her. You probably can't tell in the picture, but her necklace actually says, "F--- you." Amazeballs!!! My idol. Happy birthday, Jenny!
Screw You, Wells Fargo
So, get this - as if it weren't bad enough that my whole London trip was a debacle, when I FINALLY got my airline refund from Sundance London, it was short $20. Strange, I thought. I checked with the sender and they assured me they sent the full amount, but said maybe there was a conversion fee or something. Odd.
Now, I've never done business overseas, so I don't know about any of that mumbo jumbo. I figured it sounded fairly reasonable, I suppose, and at the very least I got most of the money back, right? Imagine my surprise to check my bank records yesterday and see an additional charge - a wire deposit fee of $15 - deducted from my account after the $20-short-amount was received. Um, WHAT?!!?
I tried calling the So-Unhelpful-He-Should-Be-Shot-And-Quartered-Customer-Service-Person yesterday and was dissatisfied to say the least. All I wanted to know was why it cost me $35 to receive money and his response was, "I don't understand the question." I said, "You don't understand the word 'Why'?" Finally, instead of my usual, "Thank you for NOTHING!" I told him, "You've been no help to me at all. Good-bye."
In summary, in case we're keeping tabs, not only did I have to pay for my passport, lose a week of wages, and pay for my lodging in London (that I didn't stay in), I'm also now having to pay an additional $35 just to get my money back for the flight which took me directly to a horrid holding cell in London for 18 ungodly hours. I've lost time, I've lost money, and I've lost my patience with this whole experience. Screw you, Wells Fargo!!!
