The First Day of Fall

There's just something about it! I obsess over the fall season. I love the crisp air (when the humidity isn't kicking), pumpkin patches, stuffing, sweet potato pie, string bean cassarole with those fried crunchy lard strings on top. Although I don't like football, I'm a big fan of the high-end commercials. I love smelling and decorating Christmas trees, eating Matzoh Ball soup at my friends' parents' homes. I get all excited about the big budget movies, the Halloween costumes, the inevitable re-release of The Nightmare Before Christmas and the constant airing of A Christmas Story on TBS. I always buy one of those cinnamon brooms that they sell for $3.99 at Publix, even though the scent wears off after a day or two. I get to wear boots and scarves and cozy sweaters... even though people sometimes yell "Are you kidding me?! We live in FLORIDA... there's no winter here!".

Here's the only catch about the fall season..... The Halloween costume shops. Can't handle em. The smell of latex masks hits my gag reflex and I feel like I'm about to puke instantly. Wigs creep me out. Fake blood is gross. As much as I enjoy a creative costume, I have to watch from afar. My sense of smell kicks into overdrive and it's all too much to handle.

All in all- Costume shops aside, I am SO excited for the season and I have great hope that there are good things to come for everyone. Yep. You too!

Holy ENORMOUS movie budget!!

I can't waaaaaait for this to hit theatres on February 12th! I even WROTE it on my calendar! On my PAPER CALENDAR! Betcha didn't think those existed anymore, aye?

Paula.... You HAVE to STOP!

You've got a TON of money, honey. Take a vacation. Regroup. Even though I suspect you aren't entirely behind them...The Simon jokes aren't funny.

Don't you just wanna smack his smug little face?

Even Timbaland's getting in on the sucking action...

TIMBALAND says his next album, "Shock Value 2", was inspired by "Twilight", "True Blood", and the overall vampire hysteria that's now GRIPPING the nation.


--The first single off of his upcoming album will be a dance track but will "fit in perfectly with the popular vampire theme".

--"Shock Value 2" is scheduled to drop on November 23rd . . . The "vampire track" hits within the next few weeks...

I'm not the first person to pose this question and I LOVE Timbaland but... Who is jumping the shark here? The vampire craze or hip hop??

Another reason why I'm totally cool with Ellen being the 4th judge on Idol....

I swear, I don't hate men...

Okay, I totally understand it may look that way. I was dogging on K-Fed just a blog ago and now, here I go again. It's not that I hate men. I hate stupid, irresponsible PEOPLE. Regardless of gender. Octomom, here's lookin' at you, kid!

If you haven't seen Jon Gosselin's interview with Good Morning America, it's absolutley INFURIATING. Watch this and then we shall discuss:



As a chick who has yet to actually birth a child, I can only IMAGINE how it must feel to be Kate right now. Not because of the hurtful things he said about her. Fact of the matter is, they're both guilty of staying together for far too long. How in the world does Kate explain to their EIGHT children what daddy means when he says he "despises" mommy?! Are you effin' serious, dude?! Telling the WORLD you DESPISE your wife, the mother of your EIGHT children?! LOSER. I know that children of divorce often fall victim to hearing about their parents dysfunction... I can personally contribute to the book... but, come on! The fact that Jon is crying about being ABUSED and being a VICTIM, is amazing! There's no possible way to look more ridiculous! What do you make of all of this?

Well, HELLLLLO there, big boy!!

No, your eyes are not deceiving you... This is Britney Spears' ex-husband/baby daddy/ professional sperminator, Kevin Federline. He's been spotted in Miami, splashing about in hotel pools with his super hot pro volleyball player girlfriend and two of his four children. I know, by the looks of it, baby number 5 appears to be on it's way. Wait... he's a man... eh, let me rephrase.... He's a boy. He can't give birth. So... Why the giant weight gain? Because K-Fed seems to have managed to ink himself a VERY lucrative deal with a weight loss company that has promised to whip him back into shape. I, myself, have ZERO room to talk because I've been endorsing a weight loss program for the past 4 years. Here's the difference between the two of us. Wait... there are about a thousand differences, THANK GOD. Here's ONE of the differences between us: I didn't purposely pack on a ton of weight just to get an endorsement deal so I could bypass getting a REAL job. Behind the scenes, people are saying that Kevin has been purposely binging on fatty foods in order to gain a TON of weight. He's basically putting his health at risk just to make a buck. Well, a million bucks. Celebs have done this before... it's nothing new... but, my issue is this-- HOW much more irresponsible can you get? He's a parent of FOUR young children who is a known chain smoker and a heavy drinker. Binging on fried Twinkies on top of that? Irresponsible.

I know times are tough and, trust me, there isn't a whole lot I wouldn't do for a million bucks but- I imagine that things change when you become a parent. I'd like to think most people want to be around for as long as possible. Barring unforeseen circumstances and health issues outside of your control-- wouldn't you put the Little Debbie cakes down and try to increase your chances of being around for your kids?

Diiiiiisney..... What are you doooooing to me??

I heard it on the news today. Actually, I play this fun game with the boyfriend where we have to "out-news" each other. First one to inform the other of a news story they aren't already aware of- gets a point. Sounds lame but we're nerds.

Anyway, he scored a point. He told me about Disney's Marvel buy-out. I'm not sure what this means for the future of the franchise and quite frankly, I'm scared.

Did they do it just so Wolverine could have some fresh chicks to hook up with?

What happens to the theme parks? Does Disney send Universal's Island's of Adventure a cease and desist? Remember... IOA has Marvel Island where they capitalize off of sales of hundreds of types of merchandise daily. We also have to take the rides into account. Hulk, Dr. Doom's Drop, Spider Man and the Storm ride. Will Disney FINALLY make MGM studios (or whatever they're calling it these days) a park for adults? Why not take Magic Kingdom and give it to the kids. Remove the Pirates ride. Revamp the park. Bring the little ones... fun for all! Epcot is for tech geeks and families who want to eat overpriced global delicacies all day long. Why not demolish MGM and gear it toward the grown-ups? Make a high-tech version of the Pirates ride. Utilize the Marvel rights and create simulators or coasters out of the characters/movies that haven't been used at Universal parks. Iron Man, Wolverine... yadda yadda...

Soooo many questions... but I assume time will tell.

Who knows? If it tickles Disney's fancy, they now have the right to turn Thor into a flaming homosexual. Things could get VERY interesting....
