Top Six LOL Animals of the Day

I Want To Haz This

Holy crap. I'm in love. I've been watching my friend Kim's Instagram for the past week as she posts all these amazing craft projects. Finally, I was like, "Please teach me how to do that." Because, basically, I loved every single thing she did.

Turns out her magical tool is called Silhouette Cameo and after a little research I've decided it's my Next Big Thing.

Yep, folks, I've got a birthday coming up, and I foresee this machine in my near future (hopefully).

Look at all the cool stuff it can do! It's better than stickers. It's better than a label maker. And it's even better than my wooden stamps!

I WANT TO HAZ ALL OF IT!!!

In the future, if you ever want to send your favorite blogger a treat, please send me accessories/add ons/kits for the Silhouette Cameo.

Hey, it never hurts to ask. And, really, I'm just helping YOU out by telling you what I need. AND I DESPERATELY NEED TO HAZ THIS. Thank you in advance for the myriad of goodies about to be bestowed (she says, sarcastically, yet hopefully...).

Pinky's Fandance - Malcolm McDowell

Don't mind the girl's face behind me. She was just mad because I asked Malcolm for a picture after she said no (which is why I usually go directly to the actors and ask them for permission for pics - they're the ones who should be deciding anyway).

I've wanted to meet Malcolm for what seems like forever, so being able to do so right before my first screening of A Clockwork Orange was pretty magical. He was delightful onstage and I was thrilled to meet him.

A Clockwork Orange Screening

Last night Keith and I attended a screening of A Clockwork Orange which was preceeded by a Q&A with the man himself, Malcolm McDowell, which was moderated by the amazing Gary Oldman.

This was my first time seeing the film and I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

My husband is a HUGE fan - in fact, it's the very first movie he saw in a theater when he was three. So, he was like a little kid in a candy store. Seeing his face watching the Q&A was thrilling for me - I loved seeing how excited he was.

We were way up in the balcony, so please forgive my crappy iPhone photo of the Q&A. Pretend you can see them.

After the film, Keith got to sit in a pod! And hang out with a droog!

Then we both decided to hang with a droog. They were everywhere!

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the film - especially seeing it on a large screen for the first time. It was a visual masterpiece and not quite as violent as I'd anticipated. Great night all around!

Celebrity Wrap Up - Friday Edition

Hello and welcome to Friday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.

Ew. No. Jennifer Love Hewitt does NOT need to be blonde. Brown is MUCH better on her. And, Jenna, we get it. You're preggers. No need to highlight the tummy with your hand. No one thought you'd just put on some weight. Move along. The Office is over.

JUST. SING.

Did Beyonce just time travel back from the '80s to attend a basketball game?

Is her dress made out of cut up newspapers?

I don't really understand this couple, but, then again, I guess I don't really need to. That's all I have to say about that.

Top Five LOL Dogs of the Day

Current Level: 539

I'm way too happy about this, but Candy Crush has added more levels. I started at 531 yesterday and am already at level 539 (I'm addicted, remember?).

Hooray for more Candy Crush! Three cheers! Hip hip hooray!

Pinky's Fandance - Mary McDonough

Mary McDonough starred on The Waltons as Erin Waltons for a long time. She's friends with Keith and we even invited her to our wedding (sadly, she couldn't come).

Luckily, I was still able to meet her at the Ex-Child Actor's get together we attended last month. She's such a sweetheart! She was really great.

Breakdown

Yesterday we both had to miss work because our ~~stupid~~ ~~old~~ Energizer bunny of a car has decided to stop working. Slowly but surely it's knocking things out one at a time...First, the battery. Then, the tires.

This time it was the spark plugs (the original ones from 256,000 miles ago, I should add) that all went out at once. Although it was a fairly minor fix (thank goodness), when it started sputtering, it felt a lot worse than that. We weren't even sure we'd make it to the mechanic.

Now, sadly, we also need brakes. Great. That should be a fun little chunk of money down the drain. On the plus side, at least our "Check Engine Light" is finally off - it's been on for the past year! UGH.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.

That's odd. She doesn't look blind...and yet her outfit would say otherwise.

Yo, TC - cut your hair, man. You're looking shabby.

I think we can all agree that whoever designed the "tuxedo" shirt needs to be shot immediately. And then all those horrible shirts need to be burned and destroyed ASAP.
