I saw James at the premiere of his film Heights and quickly went down to get a picture (right before the lights went down - he was already in his seat). So, his friend sitting next to him offered to take the picture, which was nice....but also disastrous because the same friend somehow ended up hitting a button on the camera and immediately deleted the picture. Idiot. As the film was starting, I had to rush back to my seat and it wasn't until I was there that I saw the tragedy which was the deleted picture. Sigh. I don't think he meant to, but if you hit the back button the picture automatically deletes (hence why I try to take many of my own pictures. At least I know they won't get messed up). Hopefully someday I'll run into him again and take a picture that doesn't get deleted. At least he was nice about it, right?

Pinky's Fandance, Woulda/Coulda/Shoulda Wednesday Edition
Much like the Jerry Seinfeld story of the broken camera, my woulda/coulda/shoulda moment with James Marsden suffered a similar fate.I saw James at the premiere of his film Heights and quickly went down to get a picture (right before the lights went down - he was already in his seat). So, his friend sitting next to him offered to take the picture, which was nice....but also disastrous because the same friend somehow ended up hitting a button on the camera and immediately deleted the picture.

Snow Snow, Go Away
I don't care how long I live here, I'm never going to get used to snow. California girls + snow = misery. We're just not built for snow. Perhaps if I skied or enjoyed freezing to death I might like it more....but nope. I'd prefer to have my 70 degrees all-year-long again, please. I suppose I should be happy that we're only now getting our first snow and that the summer wasn't too terribly hot, but no. I think I'll focus on hating the cold. Dreaded snow. Blurgh.
The funny thing is that I knew it was going to snow. No, not from the news, but from the way I get all my important information - from Facebook status updates. Everyone was talking about the impending snow, but I disregarded it because I wanted to pretend they were all wrong. No snow, please. To show you just how much I was sticking to that idea, take a gander at the shoes I wore today. Yep, not very practical for snow, are they? Hear that, Mother Nature, NO snow! Sheesh, what more does a girl have to do to turn off the cold around here?
Celebrity Wrap Up - Wednesday Edition
Hello and welcome to Wednesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Leave it to Madonna to travel to Malawi and wear $450 shoes. Not very practical, but at least she's not wearing sunglasses at night. 
Leave it to Madonna to travel to Malawi and wear $450 shoes. Not very practical, but at least she's not wearing sunglasses at night. I love seeing Hugh Jackman as a dad, but who is that stroller for? Both those girls look way too big for it. Does he need me to have his child so he can fill it? I'd be more than happy to oblige.
Now's your chance, Katie...RUN! Take that little girl, grab your stuff, and GET OUT NOW.
This is what happens to those Hollywood children who live their lives without a brush.

Have You Ever Seen Anything Cuter?
I know, I know, I should wait and let people experience the magic that is my holiday card when I send it out, but I simply cannot wait to share the masterpiece my friend Eric designed. Behold, its glory. :)
Man vs. Food
Yesterday the Travel Channel played what seemed like a neverending marathon of the entertaining show Man vs. Food. For anyone who hasn't watched it, basically this guy Adam (did I mention he's super cute?) travels all over the place trying out weird foods and trying to master records. Of course, the show wouldn't be half as successful if not for the phenomenal personality of super cute Adam. He's so funny! He's always got a crowd cheering him on and just does the most hysterical things. I really like this show. Too bad I only watch it when I happen to come across it on random occasions. I have no idea when it actually airs.
Pinky's Fandance, Tuesday Edition
You might not recognize Richard Hillman right off the bat and if not, that's OK. I didn't either.
I met Richard at a Sundance party years ago and couldn't place where I'd seen him before. Do you remember the movie Bring It On? He played Aaron, the might-be-gay boyfriend in college. You can see it now, right? Richard was fun - he needed a ride somewhere (and I can't remember if I gave him one or not) and was very friendly and cool.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Tuesday Edition
Hello and welcome to Tuesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
After meeting Robin Thicke at Sundance last year, I love seeing any pictures of him. He was seriously the nicest person ever. Plus, hello sexy.
Wow. I've never seen Dita have a fashion mis-step of this proportion. Nice solar system on your head.
Is Angie Harmon wearing boots made out of elephant skin? They're weird, right?
Oh, Sienna. I love it when you get into a fight with a cat but think your dress isn't a total disaster.

Is he still mad at her for leaking the sex tape?

Someone Took a Dumb Pill
I stopped off at 7-11 tonight just in time to see some idiot go into the store and leave his car running. Now, if someone is sitting in your car while you quickly run inside, or you're running up to return a DVD at Blockbuster, I might understand this. But here was an empty running car outside the store at 10 p.m. while the not-smart owner went shopping. Um, are you serious? 
I was tempted to jump in his car and drive away just to show him how stupid he was. No, I didn't want the car, but he needed to be taught a lesson. I don't care that we live in Utah - crime is crime. Hopefully someone hits him upside the head and lets him know what a poor decision that was. If he gets his car stolen, he deserves it!

Pinky's Fandance, Monday Edition
I first met Joel Woodward when I was working up at the Main Street shuttle stop about a million years ago (I still need to scan in our original picture, but here are few more).
I recognized him from the movie But I'm a Cheerleader in which he was hysterical. Since then I think I've seen him almost every year and he's a great guy. 
I recognized him from the movie But I'm a Cheerleader in which he was hysterical. Since then I think I've seen him almost every year and he's a great guy. In fact, I was watching a movie the other night and lo and behold, there was Joel (which reminded me I needed to Facebook him...). It's been fun to watch him in more and more stuff - and to also watch in as part of bigger and bigger entourages each year. He's a fantastic guy and super cool.
Facebook's Flaw
This will come as no surprise to anyone, but I happen to be a big fan of Facebook. I love the fun stuff you can get/send - such as this Nick Rhodes piece of flair. Fantastic! Also, here's a picture of the younger brother of one of my ward friends 
growing up. I think the word you're looking for is Day-um (or maybe "How YOU doin'?). Seeing stuff like this? BIG plus.
However, there are other times, like last night for example, when I wish things like Facebook didn't exist. Case in point? I innocently went to login to my account when the top story on the "News Feed" was "M is now in a relationship." OUCH. Why don't they just stab me with a knife? Yes, he's an asshole. Yes, I know, I shouldn't care, but guess what? It's still only been a few weeks, so yeah, I think that smarts just a *wee* bit. Oh, and I'm aware I could just un-friend him so I'd never have to see stuff like that, but come on. You didn't just meet me. You know I'm too curious about exes to ever do something insane like that.
My dad told me tonight that I care way too much about stupid stuff like Facebook. He's probably right. I care way too much about a lot of things I shouldn't. But, most of the time, I enjoy it. I think it's an excellent tool to stay in touch. Unfortunately, with the good comes the bad, so I should expect having the wind knocked out of me from time to time, right? Blurgh.
Celebrity Wrap Up - Monday Edition
Hello and welcome to Monday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Well, I've gotta hand it to Pamela Anderson - it's a definite step up from Tommy Lee.
Who knew Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were so, um, handsy?
I wonder if Lindsay ever takes off those blasted pants/tights.
Camilla Belle decided to try out her Halloween costume a little bit early.

Camilla Belle decided to try out her Halloween costume a little bit early. I thought Posh Spice was supposed to be a fashion icon? Why is she wearing her make-up doo-rag on her head and some sort of trash bag as a jacket? I'm confused.

Blanket Making Machine
Today was uneventful except for a few minor things. First, I finished yet another blanket - I'm just cranking them out right now. I'm a blanket making machine! I'm not sure if you can gauge its full beauty in this picture, but it just might be my masterpiece. It was fun to make a baby blanket for a girl since all my friends have been having boys lately. I made it extra pink.
Second of all, and actually far more exciting than the blanket, I talked to Filip in Italy this morning (!). Last night's picture treat encouraged me to try his old cell phone number and to my surprise it still worked. It was so much fun to reconnect and now that he has an iPhone we can even email each other. Hooray! Now we'll actually be able to stay in touch much better (and he's wanting to come visit the US next year....we'll see). After we spoke I was walking on air all day. The only downside is that I didn't check the international rates before I made the call and now might be selling oranges on the freeway to pay for it. Blurgh. Oh well, it was worth it. While we were talking he was still at work and said he was losing money by not paying attention to his customers, but he told me it was worth it. :) At least we both know what's more important, right? :)
Is today Daylight Savings? I can never remember. I hope it is. I want to hurry up and Fall Back!
Pinky's Fandance, Sunday Edition
Jess Weixler is a bit of an indie darling right now (much like Parker Posey was in her day). She was in a Sundance movie called Teeth a few years ago and was in a film with Jason Ritter this year. 
The last time she was at the Festival for Teeth, my boys insisted I get a picture with her, but I never had the chance. This time when I saw her on Main Street I made sure to finally get the picture. She was walking by herself and was more than happy to stop and chat. Very nice girl. I see big things for her in the years to come.

An Open Letter to Brad Pitt
Dear B,
I received a frantic phone call from McH today letting me know of your recent minor motorcycle accident. Sweetie, I told you to be careful when running away from those photographers. I know you were in a hurry to get to the airport and fly over to Utah to see me, but there's no rush. I'll still be here. In fact, now that you're injured, I'm thinking I should get myself down to California STAT so that I can be your nursemaid. Of course I'll be more 
than happy to do so. Just snap your fingers and I'll be right there.
Please be more careful. See you soon.
Love, Pinky Lovejoy
Celebrity Wrap Up - Sunday Edition
Hello and welcome to Sunday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Dear Katy Perry: I'm fairly certain what you're wearing as a shirt is actually to be used as a scarf. 
Dear Katie Holmes: We get it, you're miserable. You hate him. We know. Get out already!
Dear TC: Who are you waving at? NO ONE is waving at you, you pompous ass.
Dear Benicio: Why are you trying to break my heart? Are you trying to make it off my Top Three list? Why must you look like you've been on a week-long bender?
Dear Alicia Keys: The last time I checked, you were not a superhero. Why are you dressing like one?
