Top Five FAILS of the Day

An Open Letter to the Bubble Wrap Girl

Dear Girl Who Is Obsessively Popping Bubble Wrap at Work,

Knock it off. You're annoying enough with that added bug.

Sincerely,

Pinky Lovejoy

Pinky's Fandance, Friday Edition

Eddie Kaye Thomas is adorable. For those of you who don't recognize him, he played Finch on the American Pie movies (and slept with Stifler's mom). I met him after his film several years ago.After that, I saw him the next year, as well, when he was walking up and down Main Street. I felt bad for him because everywhere he went people yelled out, "Hey Sh*tbrick!" That can't be easy to live with.

A Worktime Funny

While I realize most people are off today (well, if they're lucky, that is), this comic cracked me up. Dilbert rules.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Friday Edition

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

I actually have nothing snarky to say about these outfits, but look at those Twi-hards in the background. Those ladies are bat-shit crazy.

Dear Rihanna: I believe you forgot to wear your pants.When I first saw this picture of Lady Gaga I thought she was dressed in a normal jumpsuit and I almost fainted from shock. However, she made sure to spice things up with some black angel wings or, er, something or another. Can't really figure it out.Hey Kate - Is that for me? Why, thank you. I'll try to go softer on you next time (no promises).Oh, honey, NO.

Thanksgiving Comics

In honor of tomorrow's Thanksgiving holiday, I present a few cute comics. Wherever you find yourself tomorrow, remember all you're grateful for, treasure those around you, and have fun. Gobble gobble!!! :)

A Tragedy in Three Parts

This might surprise you, but I happen to be a big fan of Sharon Stone. While I realize she's advancing in age (aren't we all?) I think she's still ridiculously beautiful and when I sat a few rows in front of her at Sundance one year, she seemed really normal and down to earth (which was the total and complete opposite of Mrs. Douchebag, who made a huge production at the exact same film). But I digress.Now, if this were the only picture of Sharon Stone on the night in question, I would say Kudos, Mama - you're working that leather. However, unfortunately she couldn't just let good enough alone. Of course, from the waist up she's still fairly presentable, but the bottom half....well, the bottom half is something I'd expect more from Lindsay Lohan.However, this look? It's like a circus act. What is she so happy about? Because her reveal was such a horrific choice? It looks like she's wearing undergarments, a sheer curtain, and one of Brad Pitt's hats. Poor thing. Bless her heart.To get my mind to focus on something positive, I present this sexy picture of John Mayer. See, when he's not singing and making "that face" he's actually quite lovely. Yum.

Pinky's Fandance, Thursday Edition

In honor of Donny Osmond being crowned the newest winner of DWTS, I present his brother, Jimmy, for today's Fandance.

Jimmy was the youngest brother of the Osmond clan and is still cute as a button. I met him last year after their rehearsal in the Conference Center and he was very nice.

Pleasantly Surprised

I love watching movies that I thought were going to suck (because of listening to too many opinons from others) and actually enjoying them far more than I thought I would. Last night I FINALLY watched Funny People, which is a movie I've been wanting to see for-e-ver. I can't remember why I didn't see it when it was out....oh, that's right. I was distracted by a stupid mean boy. Anywho. I kept waiting for the bad, boring part, or to see when Adam Sandler's character turned into an even bigger jerk, but it never really happened. In fact, I really liked the movie. The cast was great and there were a lot of really funny parts.

In a similar fashion, I rented the new Land of the Lost movie starring Will Ferrell and enjoyed it far more than I thought. Was it the greatest masterpiece ever? Of course not. But, as a fan of the original series, it was a nice reminder of the characters I loved growing up.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Thursday Edition

Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.Did Susan Boyle get hit with a frying pan as a child? Why is her face so terrifying? I swear she gives me nightmares.When did the Olsen twins become 102?When did Leighton Meester turn into a streetwalker?Oh, look. Just another leisurely couple walking around the streets of Florida going to an early bird special.

Annalynne McCord should never ever ever do this pose again, as it has seemingly morphed her body into some freaky-looking-giant-head-monster-alien.

Top Five LOL Cats of the Day

Things I Hate Wednesday

And now, without any further adieu, may I present Things I Hate Wednesday:
1) People who eat with their mouth open
There is someone at work (gender neutral, once again, of course) who eats lunch at their desk and, for some unknown reason, thinks it's OK to have very loud conversations whilst eating said lunch. That, my friends, is the epitome of rude and it takes every last ounce of self-control not to stand up and scream. One of these days I fear I'm going to snap.

2) Mean People

Dear America: If you can't take the jokes on my blog or think they're funny in the way they were intended, then STOP READING MY BLOG. I don't need mean comments or rude emails telling me to ease up on outfits the celebrities wear. They are JOKES - get it? Also, for the record, with the exception of TC (who I'd still ask for a picture, who are we kidding), I also don't make fun of anyone I *actually* hate. If I hated them, they would not be found on my blog. Ever. There are certain celebrities (who I won't even mention by name because they're already media whores and don't need any extra attention) who will never be on here. Period. Yes, they also wear ridiculous outfits, but I don't care. They can cease to exist and I still wouldn't care or mention them. So, stop crying. I'm just being snarky. Nothing personal, m'kay?3) Flying

Tomorrow I'm flying to California for Thanksgiving and I'm already nervous. You'd think someone who enjoys traveling as much as I do would be fine, or at least be used to it. But, nope. Still hate it. Of course, being a fan of the show Lost doesn't really help matters. Every little bump and I think the tail section is going to fly off into a mystical island.

4) Chatty Cathys

This moring at the Post Office the one man in front of me was there to TALK to the man helping him. He didn't have any business to conduct; didn't have any mail to send. He wanted to chat (and possibly sell something, although I can't be sure). There's a person at work that I dread asking a question because they never stop talking once you get them started. Now, I understand the joy found in chatting, I do. I'm a big fan. But, there's a time and a place for it and when people are busy/waiting in line/in a rush, then that is definitely NOT the time.

Pinky's Fandance, Woulda/Coulda/Shoulda Wednesday Edition

Once upon a time Pinky Lovejoy was working at her post the first night of the Festival (behind the Eccles theater at the shuttle stop in the freezing cold) when lo and behold, she saw a star. Not a shooting star, mind you, but the fairest of all stars, the lovely and talented Catherine Keener.While Pinky stood at the heater trying to warm herself up, Catherine walked by and said hi. Pinky, obviously star-struck, then called out to her, "Catherine, I think you're amazing!" (insert embarrassment at such fawning here). Catherine said, "Thank you" and went on her way. Now, while it's true that taking pictures while on shift is prohibited, sometimes one must make an exception. Also of note was the fact that Pinky was working with three other people (when normally stops are manned by only one or two people at most). For this reason, she easily could've quickly removed her uniform and name tag and gotten a picture with Catherine, but alas. She was too slow. She hoped upon hoped that Catherine would exit the theater the same way she entered, at which point Pinky would finally get her long desired picture; but, alas, it was not to be. To this day, Pinky hopes she will someday come into contact with Catherine again. The end.

An Open Letter to the Toupee Wearer

Dear High Up Man In My Company Who Thinks He's Fooling People With His Terrible Toupee,

We know.

Sincerely,
Pinky Lovejoy

Top Seven Fails of the Day

Failures courtesy of http://www.failblog.org/:

Yes, I Am 102

When I was growing up we had some great Aunts on my mother's side who would send us masses and masses of crocheted ornaments for our Christmas tree every year. We loved these ornaments and our tree was always covered in them. In fact, my sister and I still have a bunch and put them on our own trees.

For the past few years I've been trying to create individual personalized ornaments for my nieces and nephews and always struggle coming up with ideas. The other day I thought, "I should just crochet some ornaments" forgetting, of course, that my great Aunts had this area covered (and were, well, quite old when making them). Apparently, not only am I completely and totally obsessed with crochet (what? You don't say), but now I'm morphing into my great Aunts and hoping to crochet every last thing on earth. Great.

Still, I was able to find some fun things online. Of course, I'm terrible at reading patterns, so my ability to make any of these things isn't looking promising, but I'll give it a whirl.

Pinky's Fandance, Tuesday Edition

Imagine my surprise this morning to discover that my beloved, Ricky Schroder, has never actually been featured in Fandance. Sure, we discussed the amazing day I met him and had a countdown until it happened, but never was there an "official" Fandance. Therefore, I present one of my favorite celebrity pictures ever:As many of you already know, I met The Ricker last year at a conference where he was speaking in Salt Lake City. Considering I've had a crush on him forever and a day (and true love lasts forever), I was worried that I wouldn't be able to speak when we met. Luckily, fate stepped in and allowed me a few sentences to utter without saying any of the embarrassing things I thought I'd say (like how I had his face on my birthday cake when I was 12 and ate his lips, for example).

Ricky was everything I hoped for and more. We took the picture in color first, but I wasn't thrilled with it (since it's kind of blurry) and asked for one more. I told him I was going to use it for my Christmas card and he said I was sweet. Then he asked me if he started to sing the theme from Silver Spoons would I know the words? I said, "I've got it on my iPod!" I also made sure to wear the black rubber bracelets like he used to wear on the show - he totally loved that and even showed his wife (lucky b*tch). Overall, it was the perfect meeting with someone I've been crushing on since I was in elementary school. All hail The Ricker. :)

Things I Love Tuesday

And now, in no particular order, I present Things I Love Tuesday: 1) The Holiday Cheer Gap Campaign
Now, I realize that in about two seconds I'm going to be sick of these commercials running 24 hours a day, but for now it's still fresh enough to make me smile. Have you seen the Holiday Cheer Gap commercial? It's brilliant. It's a bunch of people doing (wait for it...) a cheer - get it? I love it. So festive, creative, and fun.

2) Finishing Long-overdue Projects

Can I just say, once again, how happy I am to have completed my year's worth of scrapbooking? Last night I cleaned up the hurricane in my living room created by weeks and weeks of scrapbooking and it felt wonderful. Of course, now I move on to addressing and mailing my Christmas cards, so I'm far from being project-free, but at least I've completed one big thing. I have a habit of getting into something and then losing interest fairly quickly (hence all the unopened and wide array of various craft projects found all over my place).

3) Finding Lost Treasures

Speaking of unopened craft projects, last night while I was looking for my next book of checks, pens, Christmas stamps, and paint, I came across practically every item I'd need to make stuff for Christmas this year. I could literally not buy a single thing and still have enough and then some for everyone on my list. Why am I such a packrat? I suppose in this case it works in my favor, as I literally found a plethora of things I was just about to go and buy. I love finding lost treasures!

Celebrity Wrap Up - Tuesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Tuesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.Dear Keith Urban: Please button up your top button. None of us need to see your weird tattoo sticking out. Plus, it looks sloppy.
Dear Nicole Kidman: Didn't anyone ever tell you to stand up straight? Are you suffering from some new type of hunchback?

Dear Mary J. Blige: It was certainly nice of you to leave the wedding where you were apparently Mother of the Bride. Glad your dress could be interchangeable like that.Dear Kate Hudson: You know, most of the time I think you're a pretty girl. So, why are you trying to look yuch? Also, your ears are your worst feature. Try not to accentuate those.Dear Jennifer Lopez: Thank you for yet another opportunity for me to say CHA CHA CHA.Dear Demi Lovato: It really isn't necessary to match your dress to your translucent skin. I'm just saying.
