Thank You For Being a Friend

There are certain shows on TV that I'll watch anytime they're on, regardless of how many times I've seen the episode. Friends, Seinfeld, 3rd Rock from Sun, Sex and the City, Newsradio, and Cheers are a few examples. The other show I'll watch over and over is The Golden Girls - it never ceases to make me laugh. I was very sad to learn of the passing of Bea Arthur today at the age of 86. She was an amazing and talented actress and she'll be missed.

Pinky's Fandance, Sunday Edition

I first saw Matthew Lillard at Sundance a few years ago, but I was eating in a restaurant and he was walking by outside. I considered going out after him, but wasn't totally sure it was him so I hesitated and then regretted it ever since (especially after confirming that it was him). So, I was thrilled to finally see him this year (even though it's not the greatest picture in the world). I've heard he was really, really nice, but I didn't have the chance to talk to him very much.

Rain Rain Go Away

Can anyone please tell me why it's still raining? Where's the sunshine? Where's the spring? The rain seems to be affecting my mood. I'm just grump city today. Luckily only one person has to put up with me, but I fear even he's going to grow tired of my short fuse. Plus, I've got a migraine coming on, which is just going to make things worse. Ugh.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Sunday Edition

Hello and welcome to Sunday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.Does Jennifer Hudson not have a stylist? Why is she wearing a short skirt (strike number one) AND some way-too-tight leather pants (strike number two)? Since Allyson Hannigan just had a baby, I should probably give her a break, but obviously that's not going to happen. I do like her crocheted hat, though. I wonder if she could send me the pattern?Holy crap. The scarf Hilary Duff is wearing is the size of a person. Someone calls the cops - she's being strangled!While I'm not digging Hugh Dancy's new hairdo (a buzz cut? Ugh), I love Clare Danes' entire look. She looks amazing.Now, Lindsay, couldn't you at least match your tights (NOT pants) with your shirt? Come on.

Passive-Agressive Saturday

From http://www.passive-aggressivenotes.com/: Way to use the leftover Easter Eggs in a passive-aggressive way!Ouch! Way to get publicly smacked down on Facebook by your dad.Can I just say how much I love that they used numbers to stand in for the missing letters?

Pinky's Fandance, Saturday Edition

OK, I'll admit it - when I got my picture taken with Carlos Gomez, I didn't know who he was. I mean, I knew I'd seen him on something, I just couldn't remember exactly what. As a general rule, I really do try to know who I'm taking a picture with, but in this situation I decided to get the picture taken then and figure it out who he was later. Flash forward to a month later when I was watching an old episode of Friends where Monica was dating the guy in the diner who wrote a poem about her being an empty vase. Remember that? Yeah, that guy was Carlos Gomez. :)

What Has TV Come To?

In my defense, there really isn't a lot on TV mid-day on a Saturday. So, I ended up catching an episode of the new show on TV Land called The Cougar, which is basically a Bachelor rip-off, except the main person is a woman over 40 and the guys are all in their 20's (where do I sign up?? Oh wait, aren't I already living a real-life version of this?). It was mildly entertaining, with the exception of the end where instead of roses she gives out kisses to each guy. When they walk up, she says, "Kiss me" and then either get to kiss her on the mouth (which means they stay) or she turns and gives him the cheek (which means he's a big loser). OUCH. Now, maybe it's just me, but it seems a bit brutal! Even more so than the usual degredation found on these sort of shows. Not so sure I'll be tuning in again...

Celebrity Wrap Up - Saturday Edition

Hello and welcome to today's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up. Why would Beyonce drape an entire tent across her rear end? I don't really understand the logic.Gwen Stefani's son (Kingston) is going to grow up and be a total heartbreaker. He's such a little stud.What is Chevy Chase doing to Hilary Duff? Could anything look more awkward?I love that Harlow Winter has perfected the, "You talking to me?" look. She's so cute.I don't know why Snoop Dogg always cracks me up. Snoop Dog Millionaire? Fo' shizzle.

Nobody Even Asked?

So, the most disappointing thing about my Girl's Weekend was that no one asked me if I was seeing anybody. Um, hi. I'm an *almost*-36-year-old (ah, the birthday reminders are starting already....you only have 19 shopping days left before the Big Day) single, childless girl (woman, whatever), so The Dreaded "Are you seeing anyone" Question is the most hated question in the English language for a Single Gal to hear. However, if you are seeing someone (and yes, I realize I'm not publicly acknowledging that I am, but let's just say for argument's sake that I am), then you're more than happy to answer it. Finally! I mean, to finally get to say you're seeing someone and then gush all about him (especially if things have been going particularly well and you're deliriously happy) is the Big Pay-off for suffering through these type of questions for years. So, you can see that not being asked would be a minor thorn in my side. Blurgh.

Friday Afternoon Pop Quiz

Let's see how well you know The Pink. Out of the boys shown in the picture above, which one was her True Love Forever (TLF) Crush at the wee age of 12? Answers will be taken in the comments section. Bonus points available if you can guess what sport he played in high school. UPDATE: My big crush was the one on the far right and he played water polo and swam on my swim team.

Auntie's Brag Post

Come on. How stinking cute are my niece, Ava, and my nephew, Owen? These pictures are too adorable for words.

Pinky's Fandance, Friday Edition

I met Dennis Hopper when he was walking through the Eccles theater one day. He wasn't particularly thrilled with the whole picture exchange, but no matter. I like that he looks like he's never seen a camera before. :)

Bowling Season Finally Ends

Our neverending bowling season (finally) ended tonight. Don't get me wrong - I love my bowling team and playing in our league is usually pretty fun (plus it gives me such great blog fodder). However, bowling once a week from August until April gets rather old rather quickly. I'm looking forward to having my Thursday nights free for the next few months. That is, until it all starts over again. :)

Celebrity Wrap Up - Friday Edition

Hello and welcome to Friday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.Do you know those shirts which are like tuxedos painted on a t-shirt? Is this the dress version of that? I don't get it.I'm going to hope that Mary-Kate Olsen is sick (or possibly homeless)...otherwise, what would explain the cozy outfit in warm weather?Madonna's looking rather beat down. Perhaps she needs to lay off the 20-year-old boy toys? Um, Fergie?! WTF?!?!?!Now, Kate Moss is rocking some serious shoulder pads. I wonder what makes them stick up like that?

Pyper Update

Here are a few pictures of Princess McP (Pyper) from Cindy Ree's last night. I swear she's growing up so fast...pretty soon she'll be bringing boys to dinner that we'll have to approve of.

Off to New Orleans

And so it is that Galoon is off on another adventure. That's right - he went home with T (the same T who took him to Hawaii) and is going to explore New Orleans with her. Why does Galoon go everywhere before me? At least we'll get some good pictures! Perhaps he'll get some beads? :)

Pinky's Fandance, Thursday Edition

I think Jacqueline Bisset is completely stunning and in person she was just as nice as she is beautiful. After her (wretched, awful, terrible) film last year, she came off the stage and posed with anyone who asked. That's always what I like to see (since this was also the night Josh "I'm a douchebag weirdo" Lucas completely brushed me off). Nicely done, Jacqueline. Nicely done.

The Voices In My Head Made Me Do It

So, yesterday I took a big step towards being a grown-up: I called and made an appointment for a counselor. Lately I've been noticing (OK, *maybe* a little longer than lately) that there are things I need to work out before I can be completely sane (well, completely might be a bit of a stretch) and especially before I can really be healthy in a relationship. Isn't it funny how every relationship shows you something new? I've learned so much from each one, but I think there are things I need to figure out inside and why I'm always sabotaging everything. Who knows? Maybe I'll hate my counselor. You never know (maybe she'll be the best thing since sliced bread). But I'm excited. It's a good move.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.Way to go, Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger. Thank you for destroying what was once an incredibly hot movie (9 1/2 Weeks) and letting us see how washed up and sad the lead actors became. Nice. I'll bet you a million dollars that Woody Harrelson not only made this hat himself, but that it's made out of hemp. I'm just saying.Thank you, Skeletor (errr, Lindsay Lohan), for not wearing tights-as-pants and actually wearing a real dress. It's a welcome change!What is wrong with this picture? Is Rihanna wearing a Bedazzled shirt as a bathing suit? And is Katy Perry wearing a diaper? Yikes.I'm going on the record to say that anyone wearing a bright blue leather jacket, even if you're named Channing Tatum and starring in a big film, is a total douchebag. Has he been hanging out with Ashton and Anthony?

Happy Earth Day!
