Sing for Clooney, get a record deal.
Lady sings for Clooney
You know there are a couple of performances I could think of doing for Clooney. I wonder what kind of deal I could get.

Are you ready for the 4400?
Would you like to be a CSI?
The Chicago Museum of Science and Industry had a exhibit dedicated to the show. It just opened and it has three crime scenes, labs and an autopsy room.
I think it sounds pretty cool. I would like to check it out. I like the show and think I can solve crimes.
The Chicago Sun-Times talks to the cast about their thoughts on the exhibit.
Here is a link to the exhibit.

Saying whatyou want and mean
Well I again ventured onto John Mayer's blog to read the posts that I haven't read. He doesn't post as often so I don't read as often. Anyway. I was reading a post about free speech and interestingly enough compared it to blackjack (the people not the act).
It made me think...
I have made the statement before that I think people should say whatever they want but hey should know what they say has consequences. Good or Bad.
I know that at some point in life people think they are important enough to say things and people will think they are being smart. Here's my thought you are always important enough to have what you say deemed as smart as long as you act smart (not in dramatization but as in your actions).
If you say what you mean in the sincerest way possible and do your very best to not offend (the again someone will always be pissed) and more importantly not to impress. What you say will hold more gravity with your world. Meaning the people who listen to you or come across the thoughts that your brain can't keep to itself.
What it comes down to is that when you can't help being yourself: thought-provoking, impelling, an activist for the causes that mean the most to you, and passionate, you make an impact on someone or some cause that really needs it.
Don't talk important be you, that's important enough.

Something I know
I don't want my fish to have eyes. Which in turn equals no head. I am looking at a blog about someone's adventures with food.
I do really wish I had an awesome kitchen and unlimited money I would cook all day.

Those Damn Furries
Well a friend sent a link to me today. It is a link to a Furry community in Second Life. Weirds me out.
Here are some links so you are just as disturbed as I was.

I am wishing I would have never learned about Furries because I now have the train wreck syndrome.

Fake Band Bio Generator
Here are two of my fake bands.
A history of pop icons: Sweet Thang
Emerging from the basements of Boise, Sweet Thang soared to the top of the pop scene in 1980 with their debut album, Taking Candy from Strangers. The band's latest album, Big White Van, blends Sugar Bam Bam's syrupy arrangements with poppy synths to construct an album teeming with uber-memorable tunes. With standout tracks like "Nothing Nice," look for Sweet Thang to be a major part in the pop landscape for years to come.

A history of indie rock icons: Cradle Robbers
Since forming in their parent's garage in Albuquerque, Cradle Robbers found themselves at the top of the the indie rock scene in 2003 with their debut album, Lullaby Love. The band's latest album, Cradle to the Grave, blends Sandi Robster's unwieldy hooks with throwback instrumentals to assemble a bevy of chart-topping rave-ups. With standout tracks like "The Tree Top," don't be surprised if you find Cradle Robbers at the top of the indie rock charts and beyond.

After starting out in downtown Albuquerque, Cradle Robbers broke into the indie rock scene in 2003 with their debut album, Lullaby Love. The band's latest album, Cradle to the Grave, layers Sandi Robster's unapologetic lyrics with shoe-gazing production to slap together some seriously inspired creations. With standout tracks like "The Tree Top," dominating radio airwaves far and wide, Cradle Robbers is an essential addition to any music lover's library.

Last Night Heroes Season Finale
Disappointing.
Well where do I start. There was so much build up to a lackluster finish. I expected more. I know it can be expensive to have a high visual effects show but come on. There was more excitement in the show where they didn't save the world.
I did like the fact the Jessica finally showed that she had a inkling of feelings about another human being. When she told Niki that wasn't her and to find Micah. It was all very dramatic and I liked the fact that she put Candice down. I think and hope that Jessica is gone for good. I think all of this may have put a little confidence in Niki and she doesn't need that to cope.
Now someone died. Was it Nathan, Matt, or DL. I really don't want Nathan to die but I don't think it is looking to good for him. Although I think that we could get along without Matt he may be worth keeping around. I also think DL is going to stick around due to the premise for next season.
The Hiro/Ando dynamic situation was great last night. I am super excited that Ando didn't die and Hiro "man"ed up and stabbed Sylar. That is definitely not the end to Sylar. I do feel that Hiro spent too much time saving Ando. Really taking away from his mission. I think bad ass Hiro is on the way.
Sylar is pure evil and nothing anyone can say will change my mind. Yes some of the characters have moments when they operate in a very gray area but not him.
Claire will probably continue to team up with Peter to do whatever because I think a family tie is what keeps him together.
I think we all know that Peter has a hard time when he is around too many powers. He has become very quick at absorbing them but he has his issues. I think the loss of Nathan will allow him to man up. Last night Peter freaked out and I think a little bit of something that will mellow him out will be good for the world in general. I also want to know what powers he absorbed from Sylar. I think that he will be a bigger target than ever for Sylar since there is not work in him obtaining powers.
Well I will do some of the reading I skipped this season to get clues and find things that I missed.

I am on my way to crazyville
I am becoming obsessed with writing. I use to think the goal was to get published and have one or two hundred people buy my book. I have changed my mind a little. I just want to complete something longer that 5 pages long.
I am thinking of buying some books about plot development and structure hoping that would help.
Losing it.

Words
So I have this new Wordie thing as a widget on my blog and the recent words were "saucy", "lip", and "sass". I think they would be prefect for a lip gloss name.
Wouldn't you buy: Saucy Lip Sass lipgloss

Canceled TV everywhere
Well what is the point in watching the CW network now. Top Model can't sustain my interest. I just wait until the show airs continuously on VH1. Anyway. Veronica Mars has been canceled. Sad news, I know. I have been staying home on Tuesdays to watch the show. Now it is over. Well what will we all do now.
No Veronica Mars and no Gilmore Girls. I am over the CW network.

Yesterday
The day of no posts. Well I took the day off of work and went to Linens and things to buy a few needed items for baking. I made chocolate cupcakes. Out of the box though. I am going to attempt to make red velvet cupcakes next. I am excited. See I do have domestic abilities cleaning is just not my thing.
Any yesterday was full of fun. I went to Linens n Things, watched some soap operas, baked cupcakes, watched Heroes, stayed up to late watching TV then went to bed reluctantly.

Did I watch any movies this weekend?
Well I did. I watched Music and Lyrics and Smokin' Aces.
Music and Lyrics - Well I really wanted this to be good. It was bad but it wasn't great.
Smokin' Aces - Could have been crap and I would have cared. Ryan Reynolds come on. That man is attractive. Common is not bad to look at either. I think it was good. I think I may even purchase it. I love Jeremy Pivens in it. Nothing like a crazy coked out magician who wants to be a big mobster to get you to watch a movie.
Anyway. My viewing suggestions wait until Music and Lyrics come to normal cable. Rent Smokin' Aces if you are a fan of anyone who is in the movie.

Three movies this weekend
Well I will try my best to watch three movies this weekend. Which means cutting back on the drinking so I can get up and attempt. MTV sucks me in on the weekends.
The three movies that I want to be in the mailbox Sunday evening are:
A Scanner Darkly - This movie has been at my house way too long.
Smokin' Aces - Got here on Wednesday. I am really excited to watch it because of Jeremy Pivens and Ryan Reynolds.
Music and Lyrics - Also got here on Wednesday. I don't know what I will think of this. I really want it to be funny.
We'll see what happens. I'll report back on Monday. Hopefully with SUPER AWESOME news.

Well I don't know what to say
So I guess there is no polite way of posting this article. I am not quite sure what to think but here it goes.
Oral sex can cause throat cancer
The article states that "people who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex"
Well I guess that is something to think about.
