Da Bears Got It Right

( Alcohol and Carbs and HCFG and Hibernating and POV and Reality TV and Work )

I’m hibernating with my sweetie until further notice…
HCFG and I will be munching on girl scout cookies, watching reality tv, reading ourselves blind, and quaffing hot toddies, all the while continuing to be nauseatingly shmoopie.
Oh and we’ll also concentrating on secret projects, so secret that if I told you I’d have to… never mind.
I’ll be [...]

Ken Was SUCH a Wuss (Updated)

( Celebrities and Hollywood and POV and Snark and Work )

Since Hot Cute Fun Guy introduced me to this hilarious place, I have had silicone on the brain. Which subsequently reminded me of a favorite post from June, 2006. Enjoy!
Like many other little girls, I had a Barbie doll.

She was of course blonde with those unnatural, scary measurements.

Designed by a man I’m sure. Why are [...]

Out of Here

( Ally da Pup and L.A. and POV and Travel and Work )

I’m out of here, kids.
Off to L.A. for pleasure business and I can’t wait! I’m definitely looking forward to giving my winter coat a rest. Maybe I’ll even get it dry cleaned. Do I live dangerously or what?
Miss Ally da Pup will be staying with her longtime dog sitter. Who… drum roll please… is in [...]

What Employers Want (Rerun)

( POV and Sarcasm and Showbiz and Snark and Work )

Summer rerun time! This is one of my favorites from last summer.
What they say and what they mean: The Job Boards
Quick learner
Stupid need not apply. We already have the boss’s son in that position.

Highly motivated
We’re going to work you until you drop. Sweatshop labor is better paid.
Coordinate meal orders
Your the yutz who gets to go [...]

Whatever

( Celebrities and Movies and Showbiz and Snark and Work )

Yet another one of my favorite posts. This story always makes me laugh – karma’s a bitch! I hope you like it as well.
A while back I worked on a Hollywood film shot on location. The movie featured many up and coming actors who hoped it would be their big break. Among them was [...]

Thank You But I’ll Pass…

( Celebrities and Hollywood and POV and Snark and Work )

Celebrity jobs I would never EVER want:

Etiquette coach for Paris Hilton
Gah! Can you imagine? At least there would be lifetime job security.
Nicole Ritchie’s cook.
Talk about the most frustrating job in the world! Plenty of great leftovers though I’m sure.
Melanie Griffith’s plastic surgeon
If she looks this bad now, imagine her in another 10 years. Now [...]

And Your Point?

( Health and Life and Work )

I’m tired after a 12 hour work day yesterday. And I had to smile the whole damn time. In heels.
I have very bad cramps. Nasty f*ckers.
I’m hating being a woman today. Men have no freakin’ clue what we go through.
I have a splitting headache.
GROWL!
Any other questions?

A Day in a Life

( POV and Psychic and Showbiz and Work )

Specific details are omitted to protect…everyone.
A while back I was hired to work on a low budget film. It was some European straight-to-cable piece of crap but it was being shot in a great location. Thus I signed on. The work was boring, but the crew and the host city were awesome. I was having [...]

Positive Thinking and All That Jazz

( Ally da Pup and Fantasy and Life and New York and POV and Work )

Even if it kills me… which it might… KIDDING!

My family
Ally da Pup
Work that I love
Special Friends
Reasonably good health
5 things that make me happy:
A fun night out in New York
Laughing with my Mom
Watching Ally when she’s blissed [...]

Gauzy, Foggy, State

( Health and L.A. and POV and Travel and Work )

It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
You ever notice that when you’re sick everything seems askew? You have a heightened sense of reality. I never did drugs, but I would imagine it’s the same sensation. The colors seem brighter or dimmer, and everything seems to be happening with a gauzy filter in front of it. [...]
