The Baby Shower Recap

Everyone had a great time. I think it went very well, if I do say so myself.


Food - catered from a local Chinese restaurant. We had beef and broccoli, sesame chicken, shrimp and vegetables, crabmeat rangoon, egg rolls, fried rice, white rice, doughnuts and fortune cookies. I also got a cake from Costco. It had chocolate mousse in the middle. YUM. And Timmy made fudge that was a big hit with everyone.

Games - we had guess how many q-tips are in the jar, secret "dirty" diaper under someone's seat, and pop the balloon with baby names inside. The dirty diaper was made with half a Hershey's bar. Gross!

Presents - she got some really nice things. I got her a Pooh sleeper (cuz I think Pooh is a funny word) and a bottle of Dreft laundry detergent. Her favorite gift was a onesie with lyrics from a Dave Matthews song printed on it.

Bobblehead Wedding

Timmy and I went to UVA (university of Virginia) last weekend for a wedding. It was Timmy's friend from high school (Bobblehead: I call him that because of his freakishly large head in proportion to his body). The wedding was in one of the private gardens on campus, right off of the main lawn. It was nearly impossible to find, and I was swearing a lot whilst walking around the campus in my brand-new high heels. We finally found it (by accident).



Bobblehead's uncle was at the wedding. Timmy wasn't expecting him to come. He's famous and lives in LA. You've seen him on TV. He hosts infomercials. Seriously. Here's a picture...


You might not recognize him but I'm sure if I told you the products he endorses you'd know them.

Bobblehead's indie wine snob buddy from last year's barbecue was also in attendance. He brought his own wine. In a special wine carrying case. I am so not even lying. I overheard him say "Well after our first peer wedding it's really been just a cosmic experience." What the hell does that even mean? Who talks like that? Then he started going on about a Cambodian wedding where they were passing fruit around. What a tool.

The wedding was very short. Afterwards we had to drive across town to where the reception was being held. There was NO parking. We drove around for about 15 minutes looking for a space. FINALLY parked and made it to the party. The food was pretty good. Very fancy-looking tiny hors d'oeuvres (I had to look up the spelling, it may still not be right.) While loading up my plate I overheard THIS statement from one of the guests "All that's keeping {Bobblehead} from being a true Renaissance man is his lack of languages." What is wrong with these people?!

Bobblehead himself was very nice and not pretentious at all. His WIFE was extremely nice. Overall, Timmy and I had a good time.

New Falls Shows, Part the Second

I changed my mind about Justice. I've decided I like it. So there.

The Class - Due to a Dish Network malfunction, I missed the first episode. Now I've decided not to bother.

Heroes - Saw the first one last night and LOVED IT. Especially love the Japanese guy. Check this out - it's been almost 10 years since I was in Japan, but the one Japanese song they played in the bar scene - I KNEW IT! Timmy thinks maybe they only have one song. Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens next.

Shark - I actually really liked this show, too. Maybe my new thing this year will be lawyer shows. Last year it was doctor shows. Now - lawyer shows.

Smith - The first episode was pretty good, but I'm not sure how they can keep it interesting. I'll give it one more week.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - I liked the first episode and I'll keep watching it until I get bored. They may be sooner than later. I didn't like it THAT much.

Returning Shows -

Family Guy - Irreverent as ever. Loves it.

How I Met Your Mother - Missed the first episode due to aforementioned Dish Network snafu. Bummer.

Two and a Half Men - HA! Love me some Charlie Sheen.

The Office - LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT. LMAO! ROTFL!

Lost - Not yet....

Grey's Anatomy - I have a problem with Dr. Derek. Why did he say Meredith had to make the decision, when HE's the one that is FREAKING MARRIED!? I still love him.

Baby Shower - Money

I asked the field employees in our department to send me $20 each for the baby shower. 5 out of 8 sent money. Unprofessional Pete said to me, "I'll make up the difference, and then some!" That was 3 weeks ago. I haven't seen a dime from him. The shower is on Friday. What an ass.

Baby Shower - Preparations

I'm in charge of DMB Freak's baby shower next week. I've been all over town trying to find baby shower decorations. There are none. Can you believe that? I went to Target, Wal-mart, Michaels and Toys R Us. Bummer.

Lost in Emotion

A few weeks ago I was flipping through my Entertainment Weekly when I noticed a strange ad. It said, "Will the Hanso Foundation get away with murder?" It went on about some hacker named Persephone and something called Spider Protocol and an ocean freighter labeled Quarantine. I was like, HEY, that's from LOST. What the krunk is all this. Down at the bottom of the ad was a website for www.insidethelostexperience.com. I've been meaning to check it out ever since but just never got around to it. Until this weekend. Now I'm hooked. All summer long the producers of Lost have been putting fake websites (Hanso Foundation, Apollo Candy, Retrievers of Truth) on the internet with obscure clues and links to corporate websites (Sprite, Jeep, Verizon) with hidden video clips, audio recordings, and weird photos. It's a big promotion to keep the rabid Lost fans interested in the backstory during the summer hiatus. And it's a huge endeavour. I can't believe the detail they've put into this.

LUCKILY, I waited so long in the game to get interested that all of the incredibly hard puzzles and clues have been solved so I just have to follow the "catch up" directions and I reap the benefits of all the netnerds' hard work. Thanks guys!!!

Want a giggle? Check out the Retrivers of Truth website. Weird. Or Hanso Careers.

New TV Season - YEAH!!!!

Vanished - The first episode was kind of interesting, but I don't think I can sign on for another season-long unfolding mystery show. I have enough issues with Lost and Prison Break and possibly The Nine (starting soon). Sorry, I'll have to let this one go.

Justice - Again, I liked the first episode. Just not enough to put it on my must-see list. I wouldn't be against watching reruns if nothing else is on.

Prison Break - BACK AGAIN BABY YEAH!!!! How hotttt is Michael Schofield in his street clothes?! YUM. And even Lincoln looks pretty good, too. I'm having a SERIOUS problem with T-Bag's recently sewn on arm. He literally just had his arm sewn back on, with NO ANESTHESIA, by a VETERINARIAN, and then USES THE ARM to do all kinds of complicated things like dyeing his hair and tying up said veterinarian. That's some BULLSHIT.

So far, that's it. Got the new Bones season opener on Tivo. I'll probably check that out tomorrow. Looking forward to new shoes Heroes, Shark, and Jericho. I'll let you know what I think...
