i know i'm supposed to be editing right now - but of course i am not. i am surfing the internet. i lifted these off someone's myspace and they make me laugh. the ninth one (jennifer horton from denise) made me laugh out loud. i'm sure they are fake and not actually from little kids, but imagine if they are... hilarious.


g'damn i love that ninth letter.

happy birthday to my big sister joan :) she is the big 3-0 - three decades old. crazy huh? actually it's not that bad - i mean.. it doesn't really seem any different. we were going to watch that episode of friends where rachel turns 30, but it wasn't totally fitting because it doesn't really seem like that at all. no dismay or anything. i was thinking about how i'm turning 25 this year, and it's kind of cool that we'll always be celebrating big milestone bdays in the same year. like.. mid-decade or decade birthdays. i dunno why, but to me those seem like milestones.

anyways.. i made my sister cupcakes and put them in my cupcake stand and left them for her to find when she wakes up. i took a few pictures, but didn't have time to really do much with them cuz i was rushing out the door to get to work. maybe later. they kind of ended up looking a little bit like the hostess cupcakes because i used chocolate frosting and then wrote on them with white frosting.. so from far away maybe that's what they'd be mistaken for. i like them regardless. and they looked especially awesome in my cupcake stand. i love it.

this past weekend was up and down.. kind of weird. friday went to see thank you for smoking with friends, yes for the second time.. but it was good, and i wanted to go with my friends to see it, so that's what you gotta do. we tried to go out later, but it didn't quite work out, but me and courtney ended up at this karaoke place that was kind of fun.. but i was already kind of pooped, and not in the mood to drink (i know.. bizarre right? jk) and so i wanted to go home early. saturday - funeral for my old lady neighbor - will blog about her later... can't do it right now).. saturday night i was in a weird funk mood, but i had to go to target and then bought 3 pairs of shoes to cheer myself up a little. hahaha.. retail therapy is good times. went to a party that wasn't so hot and then headed home. sunday - birthday party fun galore. too much food, 3 different cakes, beard papa cream puffs and i am the scene it "alternate title for movie" champion and trump might be a new favorite game. good times really.

okay.. i'm super exhausted.. i'm in this weird disfunctional state. i can't even really eat or drink correctly - i've choked 2 or 3 times. brilliant huh? okay.. back to work.. maybe. i also gotta figure out some 401k info. and what kind of kegs to get. haha. it's all work related.. i swear.

ps. sakura i did use the shampoo sunday morning. you guys are right. super clean :)

so about that plane crash...

it makes me kind of sad - not that it wasn't already - but there were 3 people on the plane - an old 80's tv game show host and his wife - the 3rd hasn't been found yet (maybe he/she has now - but not last i checked the news) and they were on their way to san diego to pick up someone who needed treatment at ucla. he was a part of a non-profit group who provides free air transportation for needy patients. here was someone who is of semi-fame and doing something great when they can, and they die. i know i know - bad stuff happens all the time - but i can't help but be sad. plus i thought that at 11am when i was watching the news, the second person had survived - but maybe they died shortly thereafter. sucky.

apparently someone else('s gf) from work had a camera and was nearby:

private plane crashes in ocean near santa monica pier

kind of crazy - there are like 4 helicopters in the sky flying out above near my work. i wish i had my camera with me so you could see all the floating in the sky newsies. there's this constant motor beating hum in the background. in must be a little bit of insanity down there right now. check out your 11am news.

this is for my sister - i <3 my cupcake stand

you want to hear something i think is funny? does anyone watch my name is earl? you know the crab man? i swear he's the guy on the outside of our office max catalogues. like that's what he did right before he got his (semi) big break. it makes me chuckle everytime i pull out the catalogue to order something.

went to a ben lee show last night. it was good :) his music is a little cheesy and literal (self proclaimed sometimes maybe even) - but that's they way i like it so i had a really good time. besides the fact that i'm a sucker for boys with guitars. i never really listened to him much (aside from a few songs) and that's why going to live shows are always so great - i'm definitely a fan. there were these girls in the audience who you could tell were RABID fans. they got all crazy, sang along (pretty loudly) and drew lots of attention to themselves. normally - i'm sure that's great, but in smaller venues, it's not as great. i mean.. i've heard both sides of the argument - "i paid as much as you i can enjoy it how i want" but then again you don't want to infringe upon other people's concert going experience. if it's a large venue with 15,000 screaming girls then it's not as big of a deal. but last night wasn't that. they got a few looks and smiles from ben lee and his super awesome so well coordinated accompaniment lara - which i bet made their day. but i swear sometimes they were looks like "oooookay." i think this because those were the girls on my left. the girls on my right - were really cute, totally into the show, mouthing along to the words (maybe singing - but i never heard them) and just really enjoying themselves (as they should be) but not really drawing lots of attention to themselves. one of the girls on picked by lara to come up on stage and help hold an instrument during a song (one of his most popular probably) - little tiny piano. she was stoked, her friend was taking pictures on the camera phone. i bet the girls on the left were green with envy. so much so that when people started clapping their hands for the beginning of the song she had to get up and run over to the side and do a big exaggerated clapping stomping exercise. it's like.. just chill man.

i'm so mean - i shouldn't make fun of girls like that. i was snickering a little bit - but at the same time i was snickering a little bit at myself because i wondered if i ever looked like that during my mraz uber-obsession phase. hahaha..

that was a good story for this morning.

girlfromwork: i knew it wouldn't last
jeanyah: LOL
jeanyah: dude.. i think they broke up a long long time ago
jeanyah: " Asked if they might reconnect romantically after publicity has died down, both just laughed."
jeanyah: i think they're laughing at the word "reconnect" because that implies there was a connection in the first place

i still feel cheated... when i see that picture on the webpage i think "SHAM!!!"

see moana... guys like that don't pick girls like her either... :P

i know that my sister is going to call me a picture stealer - but i can't resist because jake is so awesome and my sister is such a good photographer... (kissing up always tends to soften the blow of the accusations :P) anyways.. <-- that picture is just so damn cute i had to put it up, but then i also had to type out this disclaimer.

i realized i never really wrote about sundance. well i mean.. i blogged a little bit from there, but never did a real in depth recap. i mean in general i've stopped writing about my everyday ongoings and no more listing what i eat (pete, i know you're sad..) and i don't know if it's apathy, lazyness or me "growing" out of my blog (*gasp.. such blasphemy!!) or really a different approach to my blogging - but i have missed out on writing about somethings. i'm not going to go into detail here - BUT.. here are two things you should check out.

THANK YOU FOR SMOKING - funny funny funny FUNNY movie. i highly recommend it. it'll probably be the napoleon dynamite of this year.. but different because it's not just quirky funny - it's really smart funny so i think a whole lot of people will like it. plus it has all the press from the missing katie holmes sex scene/tom cruise scandal that i think it's garnered a lot of interest. good for them. BUT it is so good, i'm probably going to see it again the friday it comes out. i lurved it.

LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN - i couldn't find a website, but imdb says it's going to be released march 31 in the US.. which is weird since i haven't heard much about it - but i haven't exactly been keeping up. i liked this movie a lot (as you can tell) and maybe it's because i liked the people in it. my heart beats like a 12 year old school girl for josh hartnett and i like lucy liu a lot too.. so.. yea. but it's a good story line - even beth enjoyed it even though she figured out the plot line and tried to ruin it for me in the middle of the movie. :P hahah.. it's a little bit gory (in a sin city-esque but non comic way) but i just kind of wince and move on. i'm sure it will be a big hit due to all the big names - i guess i just haven't really been paying attention much.

okay.. that's enough for now. i guess i never posted too many pix from sundance just because i got lazy. plus i didn't have my camera for all of saturday (the busy day) because i'm lame and i left the battery in the hotel room. same ol same ol you know - snow & screenings - and then some parties. there are pictures floating around somewhere. i'll probably be posting some other pictures later once i get off my lazy ass and load the software for my new camera (yay) into the computer. it just takes too much effort for my current liking :P oh and one more thing about sundance - tyler hilton up close and personal.. i *heart* his music, he's really good.. check him out :) (and i'm not just saying this because of his pretty boy exterior.. he really is good stuff)

so i had waited to post this until i was sure that my sister had seen the results of the bachelor. (if you haven't watched and don't want to know.. don't read this...) but my sister is a cheater and couldn't wait to watch it (technical difficulties) so she googled the answer. i'm sure she was shocked - but missed out on all the fun that i had - yelling at my tv like an idiot.

I CAN'T BELIEVE TRAVIS FREAKING PICKED SARAHtennesee

when moana stepped out of the first limo i screamed "nooooooooooo" and then did so repeatedly... my friends probably think i'm a moron, being so invested in this reality tv smut. i was so upset and disgusted i almost didn't want to watch sarah tennessee get her ring on a necklace - i don't even think he asked her to accept that final rose. plus the stuff he said to moana before he rejected her was way better than any of the stuff he said to sarah. AND he started off almost the exact same way "beautiful"... who does that?!

i told nicole that i felt like carlene did after that second season of average joes. where stupid adam picked the hot girl instead of the "average" girl who he totally ahd a connection with. i think travis picked the "safe" girl that maybe his parents liked and that he could see the white picket fence and 2.5 kids with... and with moana it wasn't as clear - but what is after a few month of dating?? i feel cheated out of watching this season because it's such a sham. and there is no after the rose special which makes me think there is some huge drama or simply they're not together anymore.

in all fairness - i won't ever really know what happened. (unless i make friends with moana on myspace.. haha.. which btw has totally blown up. she gets 50+ comments a day about how "you're the real winner" and she posted this blog about being "void" (poetry she wrote i think) and a jillion and two people read it, gave her kudos, commented... it's a little insane) but anyways.. maybe there was a great connection between sarah and travis. it just didn't seem like it. travis would glow when moana was around and defended her to his parents and when he said goodbye he couldn't even let go of her hand. it makes me sad... and i'm not even a part of it. but it make me intrigued because i wish i could have been a logger and watched all 50 billion hours of footage... the show is all in the editing baby. but yet.. i still feel cheated (which could = bad editing.) so dissapointing.

i guess i should be glad i didn't bet on my "sure thing" i'd be out $100. ahahah.. my sister pointed out that travis was on ellen a few weeks ago and ellen asked if he was in love and he said that he was "happy with his decision" and ellen was like "you're so not in love" and all he could do was laugh. i bet you they're not together or else abc would pimp the heck out of them. although no one would want to watch so maybe they're just trying to save face. sad though if they're not together and now that know they live .5 miles from each other..... awkwaaaard....

i watched two movies last night just to veg out because i had a rough day at work. i watched monster in law which was SO SO SO BAD. normally i like j.lo's romantic comedy movies - i think everyone loves wedding planner, and maid in manhattan is kind of cute. she is exceedingly annoying in monster in law and michael vartan seems like such a tool. would you say that's good acting? i watched wedding crashers later and that was funnier and better, so i'm glad i watched them in that order.

i have had enough dissapointment for one week.
