>You’re a handsome devil. What’s your name?

>Oh how my heart beats for John Cusack. Many years ago a friend made me watch Grosse Pointe Blank, and I was instantly smitten. Not too long after, I fell in love with High Fidelity (Are you kidding me? John Cusack AND great music? To die for…). Then I realized that he was in one of my all time favorite movies – Sixteen Candles. That sealed the deal. I have been loving John ever since. I’ll watch a movie just because he’s in it. They’re not always the best movies, but he’s always great!

The other night I was trying to find some sleepiness in front of the TV, when I saw that Better Off Dead was on. Um…yeah. I totally stayed up until 2:00 a.m. just to watch it! About halfway through I found the sleepiness I was desperate for, but John kept me awake way past my bedtime. Now my sleep clock is all funky, but I think it was worth it. 🙂

>I forgot to bring something for lunch today, so I found myself driving to McDonalds today for lunch. McD’s isn’t my fave, but it’s really close, so I deal.

I work in a weird part of Indianapolis. One block south of my building is the ghetto. One block north is the artsy, old, EXPENSIVE neighborhood (read: the governor’s mansion is just up the street from me). Although the ghetto is not far, I have never thought to prepare myself to encounter the likes of what I saw today.

Right there at my local McDonalds, standing on the sidewalk near the building was what MUST have been a full-fledged prostitute. She wore what seemed to be a strapless, tight black onesie, a thick gold belt cinched around her waist, and the highest stripper heels I’ve ever seen. The onesie stopped about halfway down her rear end, so the bottom half of each butt cheek was hanging out the bottom of her outfit. Oh, and would it be too much info to let you know that she had an ATOMIC WEDGIE as well? Ick.

Of course I went back to work with my lunch, and told my co-workers about this encounter. They didn’t seem as surprised as I was. (Maybe I spent too many years in Wilmore…is this not shocking to anyone else???) One of the bosses in the office just replied by saying, “Prostitutes need lunch too. You can’t live on love!” Oh my…

>Shear Genius or Sheer Boredom?

>If you know anything about me, you know that I am a HUGE fan of shows like The Office and Ugly Betty. And OH how I dream that Arrested Development was only “brilliant” without “canceled” being tacked on. Summers are always a wonderful time for fun in the sun, but are always a miserable time for television.

In the past few weeks I have found myself getting really excited about the season 2 premier of “Shear Genius,” and I can’t quite figure out why. What is it about Bravo’s “reality” shows that gets me all in a tizzy? I do love Top Chef, but given my culinary interests, I’m not surprised by my affection for this show. I am not a professional hair stylist. I can barely get my hair to look acceptable before rushing out the door in the morning! Why do I love Shear Genius? I just don’t understand…

Whatever the reasons, I was glued to the TV last night (thank God for DVR…no commercials necessary!) watching Shear Genius. I’m hoping Daniel (the cute little boy from Dallas) will win. I think he’s great. Maybe these stylists will keep my TV on this summer while I wait for The Office to return. Christ knows I am chomping at the bit to find out about Jim and Pam AND the love triangle between Dwight, Angela and Andy. OH – and I would really like to see Michael give Jan the boot she deserves, and date Holly instead.
