Home at Last
I made it back home in one piece, but it's super late and I'm beat down. I'll resume regular blogging tomorrow, but for now enjoy this super cute picture from the party.

Candy-licious
I asked my friend M about favorite candies the other day. M was born in England and has a love of some candy called Cadbury Flakes, which apparently is only found overseas. Well, this wasn’t acceptable to me and I began a little quest to locate said candy. Imagine my delight to come across a little specialty store in Salt Lake which sells Cadbury Flakes! Wahoo! I’d found a bunch online, but the shipping cost would kill me.
Anyway, it got me thinking about favorite candy. Does someone's taste in candy reveal anything about them? My favorite candy is probably a Big Cherry. I was thinking it’d be chocolate covered cherries (but they seem oddly familiar). I’m also a big fan of Twix (but I have to eat the caramel off the top first), Reese’s Pieces, and Snickers bars. Oh, and gummi bears. What are your favorites? My mom used to take us to this candy counter in Sears and we got to pick our own little bag of candy. Yum. That was the best. Anyway, I’m getting distracted. I’d like to hear your favorites. OK, go….now.
The Ex Factor
This may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but I’m actually not a psychotic ex-girlfriend. I don’t know anyone’s email passwords or voicemail codes. I don’t drive by their house a million times a day. Sure, I may be miserable inside, but I don’t normally like to show that to the person who caused it. Of course, I do know AFMF’s pin number for his bank, but I don’t think that’ll help without the actual ATM card. Oh well. 
So, I don’t know why, but I keep thinking I’m destined to run into AFMF somewhere around town. Of course, I’m sure it’ll be on the day I just walked out of the shower, wearing no make-up, messy hair, and looking a fright. This sucks. I’d like to win the Break-up War and look super cute when we cross paths again. The last two times I saw him (the night we broke up – when I just cried my eyes out – and the time he came by when I was sick) I did not look hot stuff. Why couldn’t I have left a better impression? It annoys me. And, no, I don’t know why we’re talking about him. I know I said I was going to knock it off. I think it’s this freaking Colbie Caillat break-up CD. I’m totally blaming Colbie for my state of mind right now. She is NOT being a good BFF today. These songs are torturing me just a wee bit.

Pinky's Fandance, Friday Edition
Carey Mulligan may not be recognizable right now, but I can guarantee you she’s going to be big someday. She’s an amazing actress who starred in two Sundance movies this year – The Greatest (which I’ve previously mentioned was one of my favorites ) and An Education. She’s also apparently dating Shia LeBouf, which will give her a little more notoriety in general. 
I ran into her after a screening and she was as nice as can be – complete with a charming British accent. There was another girl who looked like her, but I was happy to find the real deal. Remember her name - you'll be thanking me later.

New Colbie Caillat? Mark Me Down for a Yes
I’m not sure how I missed it, but Tuesday brought another musical gem into my world. That’s right – not only did the new Ingrid Michaelson come out, but there’s a brand new CD by my BFF Colbie Caillat. Of course, I’m a little surprised that they were released on the exact same day, as their styles are somewhat similar, but mainly I’m just tickled pink to have more new music to listen to (from Colbie, no less). I just love her. The only bugger is that she must’ve gone through a recent break-up, because this is one melancholy-lost-love-crying-my-eyes-out type of CD (which doesn’t really help my all-too-frail heart), but no matter. I’ll muster through it somehow. It’s Colbie, after all, and obviously we’re BFFs. 
Let’s look at my picture with her one more time – don’t BFFs hang out with fences between them? Yep, that’s what I thought.
Celebrity Wrap Up - Friday Edition
Hello and welcome to Friday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Aside from wearing one of my Prom dresses from high school, Whitney Houston definitely looks something fierce. 
Debi Mazar shows us, once again, how celebrities seem unable to tailor their pants. Seriously, her pants look like MC Hammer pants. 
Shayne Lamas is not only the daughter of Lorenzo Lamas, but she was The Last Girl Standing on one season of The Bachelor (in a shocking twist, they didn’t end up together after all!). Still, I’m not sure why she’s wearing her grandmother’s nightgown/tablecloth/doily as a dress. Who’d invite her to a red carpet event anyway?
Let’s just get this out of the way right now – if Ben Affleck was driving a bus anywhere near me, I’d surrender my car and become a permanent bus rider. All day. Every day. In fact, I’d probably quit my job and spend my days just riding the bus everywhere. I’m just saying.
Drew Drew Drew. What are we going to do with you? Have you just given up? I understand trying to dress bohemian, but this is ridiculous. Girl, you’ve gone too far. Come back to us.

Happy Birthday, Owen!
Today is the 4th birthday of my nephew, Owen. This weekend I'm heading to California for his Star Wars themed birthday party. In honor of all things Star Wars, I had to post these adorable pictures of O showing off his smooth light saber wielding skills. :)
Happy birthday, O! :) Love you.

Pinky's Fandance, Thursday Edition
OK, so I think we may have discussed Sean Astin maybe sometime last year, but come on. It's Sean Astin - a real, live GOONIE!!!! - so I think he deserves a Fandance all for him.
I met Sean during my second year at Sundance as he was walking into the Awards Ceremony (as he'd directed a short film that played in the Festival that year). He was in a rush, but was really nice when I stopped and temporarily delayed him. I'm happy to report that I pretty much kept my cool, except for the fact that I told him I'd invited him to my birthday when I was 12 (because who doesn't want to hear things like that from a crazed fan?). He said, "I didn't come, did I?" To make up for it, he said he'd pose for a picture with me. Look at my face - pure joy! :) Love him.

Wednesday Doldrums
It's the middle of the week and I couldn't be more, um, excited. Actually, it's kind of like my Thursday since I'll be driving to California on Friday. Still, my mind seems to be MIA today. I can't seem to pull it together to think very clearly. Blurgh.
My performance review has been moved close to 200 times (slight exaggeration) and now won't be until NEXT Wednesday. Oh, the anticipation! I hate reviews. Even if I were the world's greatest employee (I'm not, but if I were), I'd still hate them. Can't I just work in peace and be done with it all?
Last night Depeche Mode played in concert here. How did I miss this? I'm losing it.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition
Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Would someone please tell Matthew Mc-con-a-hottie that it's SUMMER and therefore he should remove his shirt ASAP? Pretty please?
Wow, Liev Schreiber certainly makes an, um, interesting (pretty?) girl.
Here's what's funny to me about this picture: Are these girls the WORST photographers on earth? I'll tell you right now, Kevin Federline could give a crap less about this photo session. And why would someone want a picture with him anyway?
Johnny Depp looks sexy even when he looks like he's in desperate need of a shower. I would gladly give him a sponge bath any time.
Hot diggity dog! America Ferrara certainly enjoys Oscar Meyer weiners....(too easy?)
