YO!!

2010-08-20T21:19:00.000-07:00

I know its been awhile! did you miss me? I missed yoooooooou

Actually Ive been so busy lately with school I dont really have time for much but I just came here to tell you all that you are missed and I will do my best to update

Also, Im really into the combination of salsa and sour cream, its amazing! on like....almost everything!

I was eating some tortilla chips with salsa and sourcream and I had this random thought that it would be really funny if someone broke up with another person by saying "look...Im just really into salsa and sour cream right now" and give no other explination! LOL why is that so funny to me!? I seriously snorted laughing over that. Ahhhh man good times.

Take care!

Its May!?

2010-05-03T19:09:00.000-07:00

Whoaaaaa where have I been!

Sorry y'all I got carried away with life hahaha

Good news I got accepted into the Respiratory Therapist program! yaaaaaaaay!! so I have been really busy getting everything ready for that because I start in July eep so soon! But I am really really excited.

In other news my garden has been overthrown by weeds that wont go away I absolutely hate pulling weeds and this Round-Up solution isnt working boooooo

My friends got married and I made their cake toppers Im really proud of the way they came out and plan on making more for friends using different kinds of material and various sizes coming up soon :) here is a photo from the wedding

Hrmm I cant think of anything else for the moment so here is some music from Ellie Goulding for your listening pleasure

Its March!

2010-03-05T09:05:00.001-08:00

I dont know what happened to February but man, its gone.

Hello Chipper Cheerfuls!

Well I finally got a new car after my other one was totalled in a car accident. I got a Chevy Prizm it looks like this

nothing too fancy its a great little commuter car and I really like it.

I other news, I am saddened that I can no longer persue my Teaching career, its no longer a stable job in this economy and in the state of California. Frankly I think the way educators get paid and treated in any state is complete crap! Without Teachers there would be no other profession in the world. Everyone has to be taught.

So with that being said I have decided to go into the medical feild, its always been an interest of mine (among many others) and Im going to become a Respiratory Therapist, why did I choose this over others well for one I have asthma and Ive had many interactions with RT's on a personal level in hospitals and dr. offices. Plus they are in high demand and its a steady career. Id really like to be able to work in a Childrens Hospital. Ive got almost all my paper work together to start this and my packet filled out, FASFA filed. If all goes well I'll be starting the program in July and Im pretty excited about it. Im just nervous because its an intensive program so its very fast paced (18 months)and you jump into clinical rotations in your first term. Im not going to be able to have a social life AT ALL once it starts but sacrifices like these do pay off in the end.

Woo!

I am a granny

2010-02-22T07:33:00.000-08:00

Bonjour!

So I officially started my t-shirt quilt that I have been talking about doing for....well forever now. But I actually started to cut out my fabric and got some really awesome background/accent material! Its going to happen I just cant slack anymore on getting it done. I dont have any pictures to post as of yet but Im sure I will soon.

Also oh man soooooo umm at the end of January I got in a car accident because some jerky mcjerkwad decided not to stop at a 4 way stop and crashed into me while I was crossing THEN tried to say it was my fault? My fault how exactly? Pardon my beauty but I dont think I distracted you from pressing the brake pedal. Anyway I have been looking for a car ever since I got my total loss check in the mail a few weeks ago UGH and let me tell you, trying to find a decent car on a limited budget is NOT easy. But I am doing my best and trying my hardest to find something reasonable and hopefully I wont end up with some jalopy that will break down on me. Wish me luck!

In other exciting news Im FIIIINAAALLLLY getting new glasses!!! HOORAAAAYYY for those of you who are vision impaired such as myself glasses are an extension of your fashion and sometimes the most fashionable thing you have on if you're having a sweatpants sort of day. You all know what Im talking about dont try to deny it. Anyway I have an appointment to get an eye exam and pick out new frames I havnt had new glasses in 2..maybe 3 years and I am waaaaaaay over due I cant even believe I waited this long but not having vision coverage will make you wait. I cant wait to get some cute ones
Im feeling inspired!!

Well Howdy-Doo!!

2010-02-04T21:35:00.000-08:00

Long time no see blooooog and readers!

Im terribly sorry I havnt updated since New Years things that been really busy. I started my new job and have been super busy working and getting in the groove of that. Also I got in a car accident at the end of January and have been dealing with all that mumbo jumbo. My car got totaled Im fine, but now I have to go through the hassle of getting a new car which really sucks since they are only giving me a little over $2,000 for my car :( Oh well...

BUT in more awesome news my new exercise plan is going really well and Ive been sticking to my diet which is really good, I also decided I want to try Roller Derby its always been something I thought was awesome and I used to be a really good skater so Im going to get some roller skates and get back into good skating shape and try out for our local womens roller derby team. Now I gotta think of a cool Derby name haha! I thinking about Mal-icious. Anyway we'll see how that all goes I'll keep you updated on my adventures. I cant beleive these women didnt wear helmets and more padding when it first started

HELLO 2010!!

2010-01-06T00:52:00.000-08:00

Well the world hasnt fallen apart yet! Infact I think this year is going to be a good one its already off to an awesome start.

I kicked off my year with one of my best friends Aubrey at the most fantastic placed called The Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge, its the cutest little tiki bar right by Aubreys apartment just two blocks away. It was just the two of us but we ended up spending the whole time with a wonderful group of strangers we sat next to and we all had a blast!

Then I drove up to Eureka to visit my sister and her husband for a week before I have to start my new job. Im super excited to start its going to be a lot of fun working with elementary students again. I basically get to teach drama and art to students as part of an enrichment program. I cant wait!

Also I cut my hair into a really simple angled bob haircut, and I just love it! here is a dim dark picture from New Years at the Tiki Lounge

So Id say so far so good for 2010 hope it gets better from here. I hope you all had amazing new years and wish nothing but the best for you all.

In other news I have a 5 year plan in effect...well...planning stages but still somewhat in effect its about time I got things sorted out and on the right track! Fingers crossed I hope my plan works.

Till later ta-ta lovies

Happy Holidays Everyone!!

2009-12-21T12:41:00.001-08:00

I hope everyone enjoys their holidays! Hugs and Happiness to you and yours!

Enjoy.

Love, Mallory

Marina and The Diamonds

2009-12-14T10:30:00.000-08:00

I am so in love with Marina and the Diamonds right now! I get these songs out of my head shes so fantastical with a really unique voice AND shes gorgeous to top it all off!

Here are some videos for you to enjoy.

Hollywood is my new favorite its so catchy

Allow me to have a dumb girl moment

2009-12-11T10:43:00.000-08:00

Ok I really really need to just vent about this because...well Im having a girly moment.

My mascara was discontinued!!! I know its really trivial to be upset over something like that but when you have had the makeup frustrations I have had you'd understand. I fully expect on no one reading this post haha

But I have really long lashes Im not trying to sound vain but its a fact, I do. Everytime I put on mascara I have to q-tip it off my lash line and up above my lid because my lashes touch the area below my brow when my eyes are open. I went through ALL these differnt brands and brush types and finally found one that worked AMAZING with my lashes and that was Lash Stylist by Maybellien.

That comb brush works wonders it gets down to the roots of your lashes and swoops them out and makes them look awesome without me having to worry about it getting all over my eye and ruining my liner or eyeshadow. I have literally been using that brand since 2004 and now...its gone.

Now I have to do all this trial and error of trying to find a new mascara which just sucks...nothing ever works as good as that type. All these companies think that if they make a fatter brush its going to make your lashes look better. Not the case! its the brushes that are able to work from root to tip and get in there and not make them look clumpy or gross I mean nobody wants to look like Tammy Faye baker god love her but no thanks

anyway...I guess I'll start my quest I hope that I can find a new brand that works wonders like my old one did

I just found my furniture happy place!!

2009-12-09T19:11:00.000-08:00

Soooo sometimes I do searches of random things I cant afford and dont really need, well I came across the most AMAZING furniture! Its by artist Vincent Leman who hand crafts these bookcases and cabinets that look like they are straight out of Alice in Wonderland, I only wish I could afford something like this for my own home someday they are too fun

have a looksee:

there is also this cute branch coat rack

dont you just want to step through the looking glass with these peices?

I cant get enough! If you want to look at more you can visit the website at Dust Furniture there are even selected retail stores they sell some of these pieces, but be forewarned they are a bit pricey.

Gloooomy Mondaaaay

2009-12-07T09:28:00.000-08:00

Ok ok I know the song is Gloomy Sunday by Billie Holiday but its a Gloomy Monday, its raining and there is a storm coming in! I know it may seem dreary but I absolutely love rainy weather. Im curled up in my favorite poppy quilt that my mom made me enjoying the sound of rain outside catching up on some blog reading and various internet distractions like Facebook haha.

Speaking of blogs there is one that I would like to share with you today, its called Advanced Style. Its so inspiring! Its basically this blog that features older people with great sense of fashion. This man that write the blog stops men and women on the street and asks to take their picture, its very Sartorialist but for older people. Yet I have to admit Im more inspired by the Advanced Style photos than I am ones from the sartorialist. So check it out its sure to make you smile. Also I cant wait to be old, this woman has a good point

so fun!

In other news I am currently corchetting myself a "hooded scarf" for winter its a very pretty maroon color. It will look like this...except not as long and not stripped but you get the ides

I at least want to make it long enough for pockets to put my hands in, how cute! I hope I dont run out of yard or else I might have to make it stripped because this rusty maroon color was hard to find.

Thats all for today!

A sigh of happiness

2009-12-02T14:18:00.000-08:00

I love lime jello.

sometimes I think Ive gotten old lady traits too soon in life, but I really dont care.

Celeb-culture

2009-12-02T08:33:00.000-08:00

Hello! Its been a while I know but things have been stressful and uneventful at the same time, if thats at all possible which I have found out IT IS! haha

Ok so I know I talk about celebrities sometimes but I really hate to, however its become something that has spread like cancer all over our news stations and magazines. So Im really going to ask WHO THE HELL CARES!? why is everyone so obsessed with everyone else? We have really started to become one big gossip culture talking about everyone else and being up in their business. They are people too and Im sure though some of them have become "fame-whores" they want a little privacy.

So let me say this...If you dont want the whole world to know about your affairs/naked pics/sex tapes stop having/making them. Its almost 99% guaranteed that it will get leaked and will be all over the news for months. I for one really dont want to hear about Tiger Woods and whatever the hell is going on with him or who has a sex tape now or how so-and-so got plastic surgery. There are WAY more important things to be talking about in the news. I doubt this will ever end anytime soon but do we really have to obsess on it for weeks and months in the media??

Everybody needs to worry about themselves and their own well-being not the rest of the worlds.

How do you....

2009-11-03T23:17:00.000-08:00

Frame and painting you think looks fine without a frame but probably needs one to keep it from getting worn or ruined by thumb tacs??

I am facing this problem with much of my artwork....I paint to the edges and find that frames cover up things I dont want to be covered and I am in a dilemma. I am also running out of wall space, but have a hard time parting with pieces of art.

Hrmmm...short post. Contemplative ellipses...

GIANT CUPCAKES!!

2009-10-24T20:49:00.000-07:00

Ok so maybe Im a weirdo but I have an obsession with things that are abnormally large when they are typically normal size. Like that time I discovered Giant Gummy Bears

I almost feel like this is EVEN BETTER!! GIANT CUPCAKES!! At 3am I couldn't sleep and when I cant sleep I watch infomercials, some day I hope be in one as the overly dramatic black and white person who cant open a jar to save her life, or that crazy magic bullet lady in her nightgown haha anyway I was watching tv and I saw this beauty...
its called the Big Top Cupcake! and it makes GIANT CUPCAKES!! Im not talking about the kind you find at Costo although those blew my mind when I first saw them, Im not gonna lie I wanted to plant my face into one. But these are like huuuuge cake size cupcakes. It also comes with this little insert that makes a divot in your cupcake bottom so you can fill it with yummy stuff like whip cream or fruit filling. How amazing is this!? I would make giant cupcakes every day if I had one of these. Im hoping to get one for Christmas and then I can make giant cupcakes for everyone to eat!

The world is a better place with giant cupcakes.

Ole Chair

2009-10-14T12:32:00.000-07:00

What-chu gonna do with that Ole Chair?

I often ask myself this questions when looking at this most amazing chair I have in my room. Its so awesome but its huge and awkward and I have very little room for it. But I refuuuuse to get rid of it, let me tell you why.

1. Its awesome! its wood, has magazine slots on the side, its deep set and perfect for reading books in.
2. IT WAS FREE! yes some sad soul was just giving it away and I forced it into my car to take it home.
3. I know that someday there will be a place for it in my home.

But until number 3 happens I have been moving it from apartment to apartment room to room trying to make it work. I refuse to come to the conclusion that it wont fit anywhere its too beautiful to get rid of. I think that there are certain things in life that if it calls out to you, you simply have to have it...than you should! Like art or unique pieces of jewelry. This chair is one of those things. My mother thinks Im weird because I also have a coffee table that I have had for years and wont get rid of even tho it takes up too much space, its just too cool to get rid of.

I would post a picture of this chair but its currently covered in clothes and stuff while my room is under organization construction. The fact of the matter is I really want to re-vamp it but Im not sure what to do. Im debating painting it...I could tell it was really nice wood but the person that had it before painted it with chocolate brown paint and I feel like if I try to strip it off it will ruin it. So Im thinking about re-painting it maybe a vintage mustard/saffron yellow. The only problem with that is I would have to make new cushions. The pillows I have been using just arnt cutting it anymore and the size of the chair calls for custom size cusions.

What to do what to do. (pictures of the chair coming soon...once I clear it off)

October!

2009-10-11T21:49:00.000-07:00

Ok ok so I've been a little busy. I started working as a nanny for two little boys and it doesn't leave me a lot of time during the week. But YAY ITS OCTOBER!

The cool weather is finally here and I couldnt be happier! I cant wait for Halloween, its my favorite holiday besides Christmas. I usually make my costume every year just for the fun of having a reason to sew and be creative. This year I think Im going to go as a "paper doll" I have a perfect polka-dot dress to use and I can just make white tabs and such to create the look. Last year I made my own Red Riding Hood costume and ended up being allergic to the faux fur I got to line my hood with it was such a bummer. Year before that I dressed up as Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction complete with syringe in chest. So this year Im doing my costume on a budget by using a dress I already own. Im not even sure where Im going to go on Halloween since I moved out of LA. Sunsets Halloween is the BEST so many creative costumes, its just a lot of fun to dance in the streets to all the festivities.

Ahhh this time of year is so great! I hope everyone gets out to a pumpkin patch too dont buy them from the store. Pumpkin patches are the way to go! support local growers.

Ode to Amazing

2009-09-23T10:03:00.000-07:00

Ive always been obsessed with bright colors and off the wall styles. Case in point me when I was 7

Im still amazed that my mother let me leave the house looking like that, I also wore monochromatic outfits oneday I would be dressed in all blue, or purple, with matching knee high scocks or leggings (it was the 80's after all)

I've always been inspired by Cyndi Lauper I remember being completely enamored with her and her style. I dyed my hair different colors of the rainbow and made my own crinoline skirts.

I sometimes wish I still took bigger risks in fashion I mean there are times when Im like on I cant wait to be old so I can wear this and that and be a crazy old lady. But I think there are some things you just have to do it and dont care what people think. Im gonna try to start living like that. Not that I really care what people think about me but damnit if I wanna wear metallic shoes and dye my hair pink I WILL! oh wait...I already have

Anyways life's too short to not have fun with your makeup and fashion. So I want to say Thank You to Cyndi Lauper and David Bowie two of my biggest influences. And also introduce you to some new ones
Deere Doe who has an awesome website and makeup ideas over at Doe Deere Blogazine

and Raquel Reed because I love her hair

here is one of them together, I love it!

I think maybe I should have gone to Cosmetology school after all...

Is it Fall yet!?

2009-09-10T10:41:00.000-07:00

Dear Summer, I hate you....ok fine I dont hate you, but I dont like you very much. You are too hot to trot and not in a good way. I hate sweating or getting all sticky gross feeling just from walking out the front door.

I want it to be FAAAALLLL!! I want Autumn leaves and sweaters and scarves! Plus I just look cuter in winter styles haha.

So loveies hows life? Ive been busy so please forgive me for the lack of updates, and by busy I mean haaaarribly unemployed and searching for a job, going to interviews, and watching a LOT of food network and bravo. Also Ive been spending a lot of time trying to decide if I want to return to my red locks vs. my current platinum blonde life.

heres me with red hair

heres me now

except my hair is longer...

HELP ME DECIDE! If I go red again Im thinking something brighter more vibriant (keep in mind that red above is close to my natural color Im a strawberry blonde)

I Hate You Bike Thief!!

2009-08-27T17:26:00.001-07:00

Thanks to the awesome people at I Hate You Bike Thief I have finally found some stolen bike resolution. They have created an awsome website where you can send in stories of your missing or stolen bikes. I sent them my story you can check it out at the link above. I felt just like Pee Wee Hermann when my bike got stolen. Now I can rest easy knowing my story hasn't gone unheard.

Thank you C&C Missing Bike Factory! I will soon be trying to record the song I made up about my mike for your listening pleasure.

YOURE IN!

2009-08-20T22:46:00.000-07:00

...or youre OUT!

My favorite show is back! Project Runway is hitting Lifetime in full force and I think its going to be the best thing to happen to Lifetime since Meredith Baxter. So far there is a lot of potential on this show

Im looking forward to watching the drama and the fabric unfold. This makes me want to bust out my sewing machine thats been on hiatus, INSPIRATION STRIKES! I needed an excuse to make some cute skirts and bags.

Now I can start doing my Heidi and Tim Gunn impressions again haha oh Tim Gunn how Ive missed thee. Make it work!

Disney what are you doing!?

2009-08-18T13:44:00.001-07:00

Disney I love you but stop trying to ruin my childhood memories! I understand that you need to revamp some things and make it more appealing to younger generations but C'MON! Think about all us older generations before you go a revamp something that is perfectly fine!

I hear tales that they might be revamping the Star Tours ride...and Im not quite sure how I feel about it. I mean yes its been that robots "first flight" since 1987 Im pretty sure there is no excuse for him to mess up and take us on a meteor anymore or put us in danger of being shot by renegade dark side ships but thats why we love him! That ride is classic! How can you get rid of that 80's lookin stewardess that tells us that our shuttle is coming soon...

I mean whats next The Tiki Lounge!? or Jungle Tours!? You already took away the Swiss Family Robinson Tree house when you decided to turn it into Tarzans Tree house,Or turning the Submarines into a Finding Nemo ride (which is okay I suppose but those subs were awesome) and when you took out the Country Bear Jamboree and filled it with Pooh! Dont get me wrong Heffalumps and Woozles have their place but those were some very classic Disney attractions and now they are no more.

Disney needs to make younger generations fall in love with Mr.Toads Wild Ride instead of having me stand in like explaining to the family behind me what this ride is all about....HOW COME PEOPLE HAVE NEVER SEEN MR.TOADS WILD RIDE!? or know who the Swiss Family Robinson are? Most people dont even know the story behind Splash Mountain with Brear Fox or why people try to pull the Sword out of the Stone...those movies are filled with childhood memory joy that ALL generations should know and love.

So stick THAT in your back pocket Disney!

Traveling!

2009-08-10T10:17:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!

Sorry I havnt posted anything in a while but Im in San Francisco right now! Im visiting friends on the way up to visit my sister in Eureka for a week! Im looking at maybe moving up there if I get a job which is why I'll be up there for a while, for job interviews wooo. Anyway I promise to post pictures and things when I get a chance. For now I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

BENTOOOO!!

2009-07-31T00:13:00.000-07:00

I have a new obession! they are called Bento Boxes they are Asian and SUPA KAWAII!!

Bento Boxes are basically lunch boxes that come in 2 or more teirs to pack your lunch. Mothers in Japan and China try all these differnt ways to create cute lunches out of healthy foods so their kids will have fun eating them. Its also a lunch time competition as to who has the cutest lunch. There are all these different boxes you can get and tools to make cute cut-outs, even little soy sauce and seasoning packets.

Here are some fun photos!

They come in all different styles, with all different looks here is one with a cute little Panda on it that says "Are you hungry? me too"

here is one with a deer I really want this one

Im totally going to get one or two....or 5

THE TRAILER IS OUT!!

2009-07-22T11:15:00.000-07:00

Here it is the teaser trailer for Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland!!! I have goosebumps I am beyond excited for this movie!!

Id love to hear your opinions on it!

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!

2009-07-02T11:06:00.000-07:00

I turned 25 today! Im feelin a little old but i wont let it get to me. I plan on forgetting that by getting drunk tonight...and then probably crying about it later haha.

I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Orna-Mental

2009-06-23T10:15:00.000-07:00

I love me some Drag Queens. I always have, I think it stems from my theatrical background and watching John Waters films. A while back I met and interviewed the amazing Helen Back who is hilariously fun for a television production show I directed which solidified my love even more. I watched her get ready for the show with her outfit and makeup. I dont think anyone can really appreciate the process unless you see it yourself. Anyway Ive always admired the costume and makeup skills these ladies have. This video was posted on OMGblog and thought I would share because its fun and the song is awesome. Now I feel like playing with all my makeup. Also it kind of reminds me of the opening credits for To Wong Fu: Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar.

In other news I am all moved! I said by goodbyes to LA and have now started the un-packing process. And let me tell you it is SUCH a process! I keep going through boxes thinking "why the hell did I pack this!?" Anyway more to come with more time!

Back it up like a Uhaul truck

2009-06-20T00:53:00.001-07:00

Im the in process of moving, sorry about the lack of updates. Ill be back soon my pretties! In the meantime I'll give you a topic...

Have you ever watched someone play with photo booth on a Mac from afar?

Its quite funny to watch someone sit and make faced at their computer then giggle to themselves esp. in public at a coffee house. Oh Mr.Mac book you think you're so sly and cool with your Mac at a coffee bean but I see you being silly *whispers* I see you.

photo booth is so much fun it makes me wish I had a Mac.

Dont sleep with chur makeup on

2009-06-12T18:28:00.001-07:00

So I totally had something worth blogging about this morning on the way to work and I was like "yeah Im gonna write about that when I get home" and I got home and completely forgot. So now Im sitting here trying to think of what it was but its just not coming back, blah.

This week I took a field trip with work. We went to San Buenaventura Mission in Ventura it was beautiful! I dont know why but I always loved missions. Im not religious at all but they are so peaceful and the architecture and art is usually pretty awesome to look at. Anyways the people that run those places are always super religious and the gift shops always have Jesus galore. I took this picutre because I couldnt resist the giggles when I saw it.

When I was 7 a woman told me I laughed and giggled so much because I was full of the holy spirit...it made me giggle and I skipped away.

In other news Im almost completely packed up, well getting there I have all next week to finish. Im pretty excited about moving I just hate the act of having to pack up all my stuff and transport it. Why cant I be like Marry Poppins or I dream of Jenie and with a snap or flick of the head have it all be done for me. Better yet why hasnt anybody invented telleportation yet? That way I could just teleport all my stuff to where I need it.

Hrmm well I hope you all are doing well and enjoying this June gloom/sunshine wherever you are!

Its JUNE!

2009-06-01T09:40:00.000-07:00

Yay June! which means my birthday is only a month away!

Also its officially 3 weeks until I move and I have about..oooh...NOTHING packing. That hopefully will change today, Im going to try and bring home boxes. Moving really sucks ya know its such a chore. Plus having to do an address change and all that junk ugh such a hassel.

So with everything going on I might be a little lax on the updates, I'll do my best to stay on top of it. With that said Im going to totally dork out for a moment because I just saw the trailer for New Moon and I am soooooo excited for it. It looks like its going to be way better than Twilight. These books are fantastic I just would like for the movies to at least do them justice. Hopefully that will be the case in this one and the others to come. If you havnt seen the trailer here it is

Ahhh June I hope you are good to me.

26 Days

2009-05-27T09:12:00.000-07:00

I have about 26 days left in LA, then I'll be moving. I am sad and not sad at the same time.

Mental Health Day

2009-05-21T07:25:00.000-07:00

So Im calling in sick to work for a Mental Health Day....I need to sleep and feel better, lately I have been so exhausted constantly Im beginning to think something is wrong. So we'll see anyways I wanted to talk about lots of things so c'mon lets go on a blogger adventure!

First off for some reason I got really into American Idol this season and I havnt watched that show since well....forever. I cannot believe Adam Lambert didnt win! Yes sometimes his over dramatic facial expressions made me laugh but the dude comes from a theater background it had to be a little expected. This might actually be a good move for him because now he wont be under the AI contract constraints that have seemingly killed so many "winners" careers. Plus he is feircly adorable

Also I am seriously lacking in my movie going lately I have wanted to see so many movies and I just dont have the time, or the money. Why is going to the movies so exponsive! I really want to see Star Trek on the big screen before it leaves the theaters. There are so many good movies coming out too. I always check out Apple Trailers and Comingsoon.net for the latest trailers and clips. Sometimes Apple gets exclusive clips which is awesome. Some movies you should check out are Moon, The Boat that Rocked, The Stoning, Outrage, Nine (super stoked about this musical and Daniel Day Lewis singin!? who knew!), 9, How to be, The Hurt Locker, Every Little Step, Paper Heart, and Is Anybody There. If you watch some of these trailers let me know what you think Im always down for discussing movies!

Fashion! turn to the left!

Carrie Bradshaw once said something about buying Vogue instead of groceries because it would feed her more. Well being that I have no money for either lets talk about clothes! I love window shopping, and I love even more when I can do it virtually so as to avoid showing my sadness to the world when I cant buy something. It also saves you from having to deal with annoying sales clerks who are trying to get you to sign up for some store credit crap. Well Summer is quickly upon us and its time to bust out the cool and cooool summer clothes. I personally enjoy bright colors and cooling fabrics like cotton. Skirts, peddal pusher, and cute tops! Plus this time of year allows me to bust out all my cute summer shoes and purses. OH THE PURSES!! I tend to go for more hippie fashions and something I can easily sling over my shoulder thats not going to be a pain in the butt to carry around. Im on a budget so I think I'll be sticking to target this year. Also ladies recycyling purses is good if you are on a budget just make sure that purse you are pulling out of the closet is still trendy and not tacky. However if you are not on a budget or feel like splurging I say go for something Kate Spade, Marc Jacobs, or and I hate to say this because I think he is kinda douchey but Michael Kors has some great bags out for summer. Here are some of my favorites from Nordstroms.

it also comes in blue

Kate Spade Hula Bag!

I need new sandals and I have decided that this will be the summer I finally get some tacky metallic ones. I dont know why but I have this idea that wearing metallic shoes is only appropriate if you are over 60 have a Jewish Jersey accent and are living in Palm Springs, Vegas, or Florida. So needless to say my alter ego Marion Goldfarve is quite excitied about the shoeventure. I hate to get some that are going to make me look like a shiny Trojan warrior but who knows. I'll keep you posted on this however if you want some better tips head on over to Haute Campus by fellow blogger Shadi he always has little fashion blerbs and things that I find interesting. Plus he wears bow ties how cute is that!

Lastly I want to talk about music. I love it! There is this site Blip that lets you be a virtual DJ and "blip" songs that you can tag to your webpages and Twitter. If you have a blip or a Twitter feel free to add me @MallieBee There are a few songs I have not be able to get out of my head so I will leave you with a little Bat for Lashes and Ray Lamontagne!

Hope you all have a fantastic day!

This weekend my guy bestie Tyler came to visit me from San Fran. He is so funny it was nice to have his humor all weekend to give me a good dose of it. I miss him so much and it was really nice to spend the weekend with two of my best friends (i live with my girl bff) Friday night we drank and had fun, then decided Saturday morning to go to the beach and have a picnic....sitting out in the sun when you are hungover is not the best idea, contrary to what your body might think. Crystal, Erin, Tyler and myself made sandwiches, drank a "classy" bottle of Arbor Mist and snacked on chips and gummy worms. This combonation sent us all home to take 5 hour naps from sun exhaustion/being hungover and dehydrated.

a before picture.

That night we reprised our drunken state of mind from the night before and hung out with friends it was a lot of fun. I havnt snacked or ate that much junk food in a while my body was really hating me. Sunday we vegged out and watched movies then got cute and took some pictures. After that Erin and I took Tyler to LAX and sent him back to the bay area.

Great friends, great weekend, now its back to work.

I love John Roberts!!

2009-05-12T15:46:00.000-07:00

No not that lame-o Cheif Justice John Roberts..

THIS JOHN ROBERTS!

Hes hysterical and hes got the funniest videos on youtube. You might have seen his "mom" character. Shes one of my favorites and reminds me of my "Marion Goldfarve" character that I do when I drunkly call my friends and leave them voice mails.

This video is so my mother is ridiculous especially the shushing because shes on the phone part.

My best friend and I always quote from his videos because they are just so funny. Well he has a new character Jodi.

I love how all his stuff is based off New Yorker/Jersey. Also this video cracks me up because anyone who has ever done theater knows this is not far fetched, but it gets so wtf weird at the end it just makes me laugh even more. Enjoy!

Pet Peeves

2009-05-08T19:42:00.000-07:00

aka Peeves regarding my pets.

I hate when people call my dog "he" SHE is not a boy, she is a very cute silly mo-hawked dog(it was natural and we groomed her to make it stand out). Just because she was born with an awesome hairdo and her name is Spoon doesn't mean you have to call her a boy. Even when I tell people "shes a girl"...they keep saying "he" and it really bugs me. I have no idea why Im sure my dog could care less but dang people! Im gonna start using opposite sex pronouns when referring to people who call my dog by the wrong gender and see how they like it.

This is Spoon sleeping.

You have to take pictures of her when she isnt paying attention because she thinks youre trying to steal her soul with the flash of the camera.

Also why do people feel the need to bark at dogs? This happens alot when Im at home driving around with my Mom's dogs in the car and they have their heads out the window. Like my dog is really looking at you going "oh wow their speaking my language" No they arnt and you look stupid barking at animals and laughing.

Tan lines

2009-05-07T18:40:00.001-07:00

I have the absolute worst tan line ever. Keep in mind that Im super pale Im not even supposed to tan anyways because I just end up burning. Not that Im huge on tans mind you but I look like a farmer my arms have this t-shirt sleeve tan line that I really want to go away. Ive been spending too much time in the sun at work and its getting pretty bad.

Also I have the most awkward tan line on my legs. Its my own fault I went to a show down in Oceanside that was outside and I wore leggings with a dress but forgot to put on sunscreen. So I have this mid calf sunburn that is going to look horrible. How am I supposed to even this out? I think maybe I should walk around with tin foil on the parts that are already tan and that way it will reflect and help the other non tanned parts along hahahaha.

Oh summer love help me not to look like a geometrically tanned freak! Im too pale for this nonsense anyways. My freckles are emerging...

I cant wait to move back to a place with a pool for these hot days, I cant stand the heat.

Also I secretly love this song and this video is super cute but I have to admit I like the way the Veronicas sing it better. You decide

Cinco de.....over

2009-05-06T09:26:00.000-07:00

So I forgot to post a Cinco de Mayo post but I did enjoy some festivities with my friends. I made tacos, Jazz made rice and beans, and we both drank tequila sunrises. It was delish!

Also I was reading OMGblog.com (you should too its awesome) and I think someone might have started a website about me. Drunk texts....Yes I have been guilty many a time. But its hilarious check out this website http://www.textsfromlastnight.com/ Text from Last Night is a website where you can post drunked texts you have received or sent.

Here are some of my favs:

(646): ParTy fuckkin suckkkks bro I gotta fid sum biTch 2 leT me fire sum loadz on her FACE!
(812): ?
(646): Nah, but can you imagine if I were seriously like that?

(702): What? How drunk are you?
(1-702): elementary watson bafflding! I going to go live inthe fridge wit the polar bears. write me. postage costs xtra in kichenaides.

(512): I just ate a cockroach and I want to be a fire truck.

So great!

Its Star Wars Day!!!

2009-05-04T07:59:00.000-07:00

I know I know my nerd is showing, but I love Star Wars hahaha.

I mean how are you not supposed to fall in love with this?

Oh Harrison

So long LA

2009-05-03T11:48:00.000-07:00

Im moving out of LA in about 50 days. This will be the second time Ive moved from LA the first time I was 10 and we moved to Nor Cal which is were I'll be going back to. Times are tough and I need to save money anyway I can. So my momma is welcoming me back with open arms.

Its going to be nice being at home again I think, plus it will be a nice stepping stone for me to save and get on the track to move up to San Francisco, which is were I really want to be. Im going to be sad leaving my friends and my job, but its a better choice. Plus Im going to be living about half way between LA and SF so I can visit my friends in both places much much easier. 2.5 hours beats 6 hours anyday.

Also my birthday is in July and I decided on what I want to do. I want all my SF friends and anyone who can make it up north to go out to dinner at this place called Alfreds. Its this dark speak easy type place in the city. So everyone can get all dolled up have a nice dinner with drinks and then we can go out dancing afterwards. Hooray for birthdays!

Doesnt this look like the kind of place a Mob would eat at?

I cant wait

Beach Day!

2009-05-02T07:30:00.001-07:00

Off to Oceanside with Hannah for her show. I cant wait to escape these valley allergies for a day, gosh I love the beach. Today its going to be fun, it makes me want to wake up all my roommates with this song

Its true my life is ruled by musicals. I will sing you a song for any occasion, just try me.

Hope all you lovely's have a fantastic day!!

Argyle and Kaki!!!

2009-04-30T08:39:00.001-07:00

This is beyond fantastic!

Happy Thursday!

Balls!

2009-04-29T17:34:00.001-07:00

Things that sound inappropriate at my work if you didnt know I worked at an elementary school.

"go get those balls"
"dont kick his ball, play with your own"
"is this rubber?"
"you're such a ball blocker"
"I want to stick this in there so it goes woo"
"don't smell that!"
"did you just eat that? ew spit it out!"
"you got hit in the head by two balls? do you want an ice pack?"

Turtle...turtle!

2009-04-25T22:43:00.000-07:00

Tonight I made Chicken Curry and it was delicious. I love cooking! I also love to blast music while I cook and sing along to it. Tonight's musical menu consisted of ABBA, Elvis, Britney Spears, and Whitney Huston. I had it on shuffle :D

Then I played a song that I forgot about it was a song by the Turtles. I love the Turtles most people know them for their song "Happy Together" which is a great song. One of my favorite songs by them is Elenore. So lets take it back to the late 60's

How can you deny those fashions, and those tunes.

I love music.

PHIL COLLINS FRIDAY!!!

2009-04-24T16:16:00.000-07:00

Hello ladies and gents I dont have much to write today so I decided to dedicate this post to Phil Collins.

I was walking today to the bus stop (ugh yes my car is still broken and Im taking the Metro buses...gross and a whole other post) and I was listening to my ipod when a Genesis song came on one of my mixes and it made my walk so much better.

So c'mon let loose and dance around your room a bit, its good for the soul! THIS guy knows that Im talkin about!

The Phil Collins Sing a long Hour - watch more funny videos

YES!!! I'm feel good are you!?

Also my art show is tonight! yaaaaaaaaaaay!

Prepare to have your mind...

2009-04-22T23:29:00.000-07:00

Blown away...

This video is incredible. I feel extremely lazy and insignificant.

Look Ma' Imma real artist!

2009-04-22T08:23:00.000-07:00

If you live in the Los Angeles area please come to my art show!! Im super excited this is my first official one. I feel too legit to quit!

97 degrees!

2009-04-19T22:57:00.000-07:00

Its going to be 97 degrees tomorrow! Ugh, one more degree and it would be a boy band outside.

I hate the heat so much, dont get me wrong I like warm weather but at a nice 75 degrees at most. Im a spoiled Californian, living in the valley sucks its always so hot over summer. I guess I shouldn't complain we dont really get the humidity here like in other states. Its still grossly hot, I wish I still lived on the coast where 72 is a hot day. I was so used to living in overcast cool 65 degree weather I dont think my body ever got over it.

And so summer weather begins...

Whats more embarassing?

2009-04-16T21:24:00.000-07:00

Singing songs about macaroni that you made up while you cook dinner for you and your best friend in the kitchen.

Or...

Realizing that your new neighbors can see you from the window and saw you dancing around and singing about macaroni in your kitchen.

Oh life...that was almost as good as the time my grandfather caught me making up a song about not leaving the mayo out so you don't get salmonella while I made him a sandwich. I think he thought I was cursing is food or something.

Also speaking of singing about everything, I have to give Zac Efron some credit this is pretty funny

My life is like a sitcom

2009-04-15T16:31:00.000-07:00

Seriously Im pretty sure the things that happen to me on a regular basis would make for a very good/painful to watch sitcom. (or a ben stiller movie you decide)

Before I went on Spring Break my car was having trouble with the transmission, so I took it to get fixed, after it was fixed I went to drive it home and turns out they didnt fix anything. So then I had to take it to some new place my dad wanted me to take it to I left my keys in his hands and decided it would be all better by the time I got back from visiting my sister up north. I spent money on a train ticket and all this mumbo jumbo, mind you Im already broke. I have zero money to fix my car so my dad was helping me out.

So I get back yesterday and last night my friend Hannah was kind enough to drive me out to my Dads house to pick up my car. We stay and chat and she decides to be safe and follow me back to my house just incase. Good thing she did because 20 minutes after I left my Dads house my car started acting up. My temp guage shot up to HOT and my car wasnt excelling and lights kept flashing at me to check engine. I pulled over as soon as I can and so did Hannah who then came running up to my car yelling "GET OUT OF THE CAR GET OUT OF THE CAR!!" I grab my keys and jump out and realized there is some sort of liquid gushing from under my car and there is steam coming out from under my hood. Perfect! My just "fixed" car is still broken. I call my dad who comes to sit with me while AAA comes, so Hannah and I are sitting in my Dads car because its so windy outside. An hour after AAA should have sent a tow truck they call us to tell us its going to be longer because "everyone is busy"...so I tell Hannah to go turn off her hazards so her battery doesnt die. We walk back up to her car and she realizes that shes locked her keys in her car with MY keys sitting there in my purse! So now both of our keys are locked in her car and we have to wait for a tow.

Finally when the tow truck comes Hannah says "umm.....that guys wearing an eyepatch" all I could think was "they sent a pirate to tow my car??" No joking this guy had a serious black eye patch. Not one of those oh I injured my eye eyepatch, like a reeeaaal eyepatch. So the guy jimmys open Hannahs car gets my keys and tows my car its now 11pm and I hadnt eaten since 10am. Im starving so Hannah take me home and we get In-N-Out to sooth our stressful night.

To top it all off I now have to take the bus to and from work. If you know me you know that I HATE public trans. It gives me anxiety and I have nothing but bad luck trying to take it. I have to walk half a mile to the bus stop from my house and then almost a mile from the bus stop to my work. When I was riding it home I went to get off at the stop closest to my house and the stupid bus driver SHUTS THE DOOR ON ME! halfway as Im getting out which causes me to trip and hurt my already bad knee.

I started to cry as I wobbly limped my way home. I have had nothing but one bad thing after another happen, did I piss off the universe in some way? I think maybe I should plant some flowers or something to get some good karma points, I mean it cant hurt right? Unless of course I turn out to be allergic to the plant then swell up or get stung by a bee and end up in the hospital or some other outrageous thing like that because at this point I wouldnt be suprised.

Burnin some rubber!

2009-04-14T15:50:00.000-07:00

I have been a busy bee lately. I just got home from spending time with my family on my spring break from work. I took a trip up to Northern California to visit my sister and her husband. I traveled almost the whole length of California in doing so.

LA to the Central Valley=3 hours
Central Valley to meet my grandma=2 hours
Grandmas house to Eureka=10 hours

Total=15 hours!!!

My sister lives at the top of California in a beautiful place called Eureka (I found it!) My mom, grandma, and myself drove the road trip up there for Easter weekend. It was so much fun to spend time with all of them, I even got to see my step brother who lives up in the same area. We went to the beach, hung out around town, and my brother in law cooked us the most delicious meals each night. It was fantastic

The only downside was that my grandmothers car got broken into Saturday night in the hotel parking lot. They took a bunch of stuff including my moms digital camera, and quilting stuff she was working on, my grandmothers jackets, blue tooth, and other things. It was a very sad thing to wake up to Easter Sunday. Hopefully it will all be recovered or replaced by the insurance. Bummer man.

Here are some pictures from the beach!

There is a lot of beachwood on the beaches up there because of all the redwood trees along the coast. I miss Northern Cali and living by the beach, LA is so different. Hopefully some day I'll move back to the cool coastal weather that I love.

All my dreams are coming true...

2009-04-07T19:15:00.000-07:00

Ever since I saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I have longed to be one of those children who are set loose to eat all the yummy delights they can handle. One of my favorite parts of that scene is when one of the kids is eating this GIANT gummy bear. It looks so awesome, and my love for gummy bears has been stuck in the traditional bite size world...UNTIL NOW!!

Introducing...Giant Gummy Bears on a Stick!

There is also a very hilarious video...

I really want to experience this in cherry and grape flavored joy.

Also, Today I found out that not only are there things like giant gummy bears on a stick but Vodka tastings. Did that last statement not blow your mind let me type it alone.

Vodka tastings.

Yes you can actually go to distilleries and taste vodka like some sort of wine-o sans wine replaced with vodka! I dont know about you but my booze buds are tingling at the thought. Mama loves the booze!

Is this real life??

2009-04-02T08:51:00.000-07:00

I....am.....hungover.

Yes! On a Thursday morning....last night I went through 3 bottles of champagne, 2 jager shots (who am I frat boy?) and one shot of jack daniels for my roommate TJ who is moving out.

The night well...day started off amazing I picked up my friend Jazz after work, we went out and got hair dye stuff and booze. Came back to my house dyed my hair so I could be living the platinum blonde life again sans trailer park roots. Then we drank some champagne and listened to Motown while drawing. It all makes us sound very upperclass bohemian dont you think? Well then we got a little tipy and started dancing around to motown hits, took a jager shot and kept drinking more champagne. It was so much fun so then we switched to Frank Sinatras radio station which is everything Frank and similar from that era of music, it was so fitting. I went into a drunken rant on how amazing music is. Then proceeded to call my friends and sing to them.

This is what happens when I drink, I turn into a singing-giggling-dancin fool. Never the less it was fun, so when my other roommates Erin, Jason, and TJ got back we had a little celebratory toast to TJ's last night in the house. I ended the night in my bed only to wake up sooooo weak this morning.

Now I must head off to work, where little children will suck the little energy I have built up right out of me again. Have a great day, heres some music.

Jackie Wilson can lift anyones spirit with this song, just look at him go!

Hot Cross Buns

2009-03-30T15:42:00.000-07:00

Ive been so sick these past couple of days and I hate it. I wanted to call in sick to work but alas I opted against it deciding that money is more important than my health right now. I gots bills ta pay suckaaaasss!!

So yes Im sick, but I keep telling myself "all you have to do is get through this week and you'll be on spring break" Im pretty excited about having a whole week off. Im going up north to visit my sister and her husband. Good times are bound to happen.

Anyway I had a very exciting music video I wanted to post today at the end of my blerb but there is no embedded code for it on YouTube so Im trying this one hopefully it works. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Mi Madre

2009-03-28T10:33:00.000-07:00

My mom is coming to visit today and Im super excited to see her. The only problem is....I got sick, so I will be battling a runny nose and congestion all day while we are out. Bummer man.

Out to brunch then some shopping, I promise to have a real post in the near future.

For now enjoy some music.

Ridiculous

2009-03-25T09:12:00.000-07:00

Im feeling a bit silly lately because I really want to talk about this book I am reading, yet I am totally embarassed that I am reading it. I was skeptic of reading it but, its actually pretty good. It just makes me feel ridiculous when I giggle at things the characters do. Ok ok, the book.....is Twilight.

THERE I SAID IT! IM READING TWILIGHT!

Youre totally judging me arnt you? I was once like you my friend, scoffing at the thought of reading this book much less actually liking it. But these books are pretty good, and Im going through it pretty fast. Dont base your opinion of these books based on the movie and all the silly hype, I saw the movie and its okay but not really like the book, the movie is way cheesy. Although I cant help but fall into that catagory of people that think Robert Pattinson is good looking, even if he does have a flat face and Scorsese brows, I cant help but want to ruffle his lucious locks.

Automatics

2009-03-21T22:08:00.000-07:00

If there is one thing in this world that can always make me feel like a dumb technology driven human being, its automatic things such as: sinks, toilets, hand dryers, soap dispensers...basically automatic bathrooms in general. I hate standing there waving my hands around for soap, then water for 5 minutes just so I can wash my hands. There is nothing worse than standing at a sink waving your hands around waiting for water. Unless of course when you are standing there waving your hands back and forth talking to your friend only to realize....its NOT an automatic sink and you've just embarrassed yourself. Then walk over to the hand dryer, wave around for it to turn on and realize you have to press the button...double whammy.

Tonight I went out on a dinner date with my best friend Erin, it was fun as usual. We eaves dropped on tables around us and giggled and my "boyfriend." A guy whom I had dubbed cute and made up a whole back story only to see he was at our place with another woman he was clearly unhappy and missing me. I love doing that with strangers making up little scenarios about them, and creating outrageous life stories.

We each had a few drinks and giggled ourselves out of the restaurant up to see a movie which was sold out, so we walked around to kill our buzz and left to get some Cold Stone, it was a nice end to a nice evening.

Ciao!

Apple juice leperchauns

2009-03-17T00:40:00.000-07:00

I dont know what it is about apple juice that creates this Pavlov's dogs reaction in me, but every time I see it in the supermarket I become extremely thirsty for it. I could drink a gallon of apple juice if I didnt restrain myself from doing so. I always cut apple juice with water, my mom always did it when I was little and thats just the way I like it, some people think its odd.

Today is St. Patricks day! I love this holiday it allows me to indulge in my Irish heritage and get plastered, sing Irish drinking songs, and say my favorite Irish toasts. However...it is a Tuesday and I have work in the morning so I doubt I will be doing much of that. Bummer man...a reeeeeeeeaaaal bummer. I will probably have a few shots of whiskey and call it a night. Just saying that makes me feel like some old lady, but man when you work with kids you have to have energy. Being hungover just does not fly on the playground.

One thing I loved about waking up on St. Patricks day was my mom rushing in to mine and my sisters room and pinching us while laughing and saying "youre not wearing green Im gonna pinch your booty! wake up and put your green on!"So everyone remember to wear green or I'll pinch your butt!

May good luck follow you wherever you go, and your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow.

Friday the 13th

2009-03-13T09:15:00.000-07:00

Im not a superstitious person per say but Im a little uneasy about today. Last Friday the 13th I nearly missed being involved in a huge accident on the freeway. In the pouring rain that would have sent me over an embankment had it hit me, a car came careening towards me as I fishtailed all over the place and missed me by two feet. I am not looking forward to driving to and from work today.

All I want to do is come home and enjoy our BBQ that we are having for our new roommate Hugo. Drink some drinks and have a good time.

I should probably put some pants on and finish getting ready for work. I hope everyone has a super day.

March Hare

2009-03-12T00:10:00.000-07:00

If there's one thing I love about March its St. Patrick's day and also the time when McDonalds has Shamrock Shakes! Delicious Vanilla Minty Green milkshakes.

Now I dont typically eat at McDonalds, but I cannot resist these delicious shakes. I know Im a chubby lady but c'mon sometimes you gotta let loose and just give into a craving, thats when I say to myself for this moment you are on the Margret Cho "fuck it" diet, say fuck it have the damn shake and move on.

However there are those skinny bitches like oh say ones from college who used to be fat but then got skinny and now makes everyone feel like crap by saying cunty comments like "those have like 900 calories you know" OMG REALLY!? I had no idea wow thank you for saving me from the McSins of milkshakes!! Praise Jeebus!...Yes I know. I also dont give a damn because its what I want to drink right now and if that means walking more or playing handball with my kids at work a little longer then you can kiss my McASS because Im drinking the damn Shamrock Shake!

Some people really need to learn how to live.

Did I really just get excited about taxes?

2009-03-09T18:16:00.000-07:00

Yes, yes I really did.Ugh its official Im an adult...gross. I just finished my taxes and I cannot wait to get mah money! Too bad Im only saving about 200 from it towards my birthday savings and the rest is going to pay off some of my credit card. Being an adult is so lamed out. As my good friend Alex says "Sometimes I just want to eat my fruit snacks and drink my capri-sun without anybody harassing me" agreed. Except for I just want to be picked up and carried when I get tired, those were the days.

In other news Im thinking about getting a weighted hula hoop for exercise. Yes a Hula-Hoop!

I got the idea after watching the kids on the yard at work and thinking to myself "Wow that would be a good workout!" too bad someone already thought of it. But good for me because Im lazy and Id rather just buy one than make it myself. So I think Im going for it, I read about it and its a really good ab workout and its also fun. I'll keep you posted on my Hula-Hooping adventures.

I can just see it now...
*cue chubby woman in black and white struggling with various scenarios* Tired of all those diet fads? Sick of the gym?Now you can hula-hoop your cares and calories away!

Gee-golly I cant wait!

Happy Birthday Barbie!

2009-03-09T08:57:00.000-07:00

Today Barbie turns 50. That bitch has had more boyfriends, careers, cars, and mansions than I ever will. Im just going to start blaming my indecisions on the fact that I played with Barbies as a little girl. The next time someone asks me "what are you doing with your life?" I'll reply "Barbie had 900 careers by the time she was 50, why cant I?" HA! and people say she gives girls an un-realistic image of women.

Do you think shes had any work done?

Looking good Barbs!

Pucker up!

2009-03-07T22:02:00.000-08:00

I love red lipstick. It makes me feel like a classy lady and a red lipped whore at the same time. Some times I put on red lipstick when Im sitting around all day in my pajamas on a Sunday...dont judge me. I dont judge you when youre sitting around in tube socks watching youtube videos and laughing alone. But my dog is

I saw the Watchmen last night, it was awesome. Go see it.

Also I was thinking about how Sex and the City and the Golden Girls are very similar sans all the sex scenes but lets face it Blanche is totally whoring it up enough for all of them. I really miss the days of coming home and watching The Golden Girls and laughing at Betty White being kooky and senile. I feel like thats the kind of old lady I'll be as I age but instead of friends I'll be talking to my garden gnomes.

Children are Insane

2009-03-06T16:46:00.000-08:00

So most of you know I work at an elementary school. My job is very much like an episode of "kids say the darnedest things" because well they really do say and do the darnedest things. Today I watched a little girl play with a jump rope alone for 20 minutes. She whipped it around, doing these sort of ribbon dancer moves which then turned into a matador looking dance. I was cracking up watching her from afar as I supervised the yard, she then proceeded to stare at it then drop it on the ground as if you say "welp, Im done with this now" as she ran off.

Which brings me to another thing, kids love to run. They love to run more than Forest freakin Gump loves to run. Kids will run any chance they have at full speed even if its just 5 feet away. Did we all do this? I dont ever remember running that much as a kid, and when do you lose that urge? Because I sure as hell dont like running now. Im pretty sure if someone grabbed my pruse and ran off with it I might start to run but a minute later be like "ugh fine take my purse...bitch" hahaha. Everyday its something new with them that just cracks me up in one way or another.

Kid shows now adays blow also. Whatever happened to shows like Kids Incorperated, Reading Rainbow, Duck Tales, School House Rock, Doug, Are you afraid of the Dark, Pete & Pete, Double Dare!? All they watch now are fast paced non senical crap that blips by on the screen and people wonder why their kids have ADD and no attention span.

Anyway Im going to see the Watchmen tonight Im pretty excited about it. Ive been waiting for this movie for a while now and Ive heard its fantastic.

Enjoy this video and remember your crazy childhood stuff.

Assholes and Sensors

2009-02-28T22:44:00.000-08:00

People are jerks, and some people will always be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

In other news, today I spent the day with my friend Crystal. We went shopping and had fun together. One of the stores we were in I was trying on a pair of pants I put my left leg in and as soon as I stepped down I got a stabbing pain in my foot. Then I realized that when I stepped down I had stepped on a clothing sensor that didnt have a backing on it. It jammed into my foot and hurt really really bad so I said "oh my god the sensor is in my foot" and Crystal was like what!? and then I pulled it out of my foot and she went to get the manager. The manager comes and tells me how sometimes when the clothes come they sensors are not properly shut and so the backings fall off, she got me a disinfectant wipe and a band-aide and I filled out an accident report. But man it freakin hurts my foot is all sore now and Im afraid I need to get a tetinus shot because it was metal and I dont know the last time I had one of those shots. I dont want it to get infected or anything, I guess I'll just do my best to keep it clean. But Im glad I filled out an accident report just incase anything happens.

here's some Sia-Soon We'll Be Found, the offical video is awesome but they disabled the embedment of it so here is her performance from David Letterman. This song is incredible, her whole cd is really good

Yay its Saturday I just got paid and do you know what that means??? NEW BRAS! its really sad how excited women get over new bras but we do I mean its awesome, Im down to one really good bra and that is just unacceptable. Also I going to get some new work clothes I need some more tops to wear. And I get to do all this shopping with Crystal! I think we might hit up a movie also, which would be nice since I havnt been to a movie since Coraline. I also got some bills out of the way now all I need to do is pay my taxes, and car registration and Im set.

Im also pretty excited that the Watchmen is coming out soon...like 7 days the release date is 3-6-09....3,6,9 I thought that was funny. That movie is going to be fantastic!!

I dont really have much else to say because I need to jet but, enjoy this video. I miss my mom shes sick right now, this video makes me think of her in a weird way John Roberts is hilarious.

If you enjoyed that I suggest you watch his other videos, The Phone Call is my favorite one

I picked up my friend Cassie from the airport today she just got back from Thailand, Malaysia, Bangkok, and Singapore! Im so jealous of her I wish I could travel like that. I would love more than anything in the world to be able to travel and write about my travels. Ive actually have been thinking about writting a book about how Ive traveled accross the US. Ive been to every state in the US except for Alaksa and some day I will go there and I'll be 50 out of 50 states but for right now Im just 49 out of 50. So I was thinking I could write about every state and great things there are to do there that many people might not think of. I think its really intresting how a lot of people travel to other countries, but many of them have not even traveled around their own country.

Anyway....today at work it seemed like all the kids were on crack or something. They were all being crazy and so many of them were getting into trouble that dont typically get into trouble it was very weird. They were driving me berzerker! Some of them are really funny and you have to laugh at their antics but some of them are so rude and disrespectful I cant beleive their families would let them get away with acting the way they do towards adults.

I found out some very exciting musical news today NO DOUBT IS GOING ON TOUR!! they are going to be playing a mix of all their old stuff on tour to get inspiration for their new record they will be recording after thier tour! Im super excited about this because I never got to see them in concert before Gwen did her own thing. I got to see Gwen just not No Doubt, and I LOVE No Doubt! I get a lot of my own personal style inspired from Gwen I think she is amazinly beautiful and Ive loved them since Beacon Street, so I am not going to pass up another chance to see them on tour.
Welp Im off, enjoy the video

I deleted my vent blog. So here is a nice video instead, enjoy.

Someone tell Libby to brush up on her entertainment lingo.

Oscars

2009-02-23T09:25:00.000-08:00

Pretty intresting....

Im just going to say this, I think the people that won were great, everyone looked great, everyone loves Merly Streep to an insane amount I mean dont get me wrong I love her too but it seemed a little buttkiss, cool set design, and movies I still need to see. Thats it for my Oscar blerb Im not going to be one of those LA locals that goes on and on about it.

I really want it to rain today but not while Im at work because its kind of a bummer having kids in the classroom all day because they cant get their energy out on the playground. I finished another painting I'll try to get a photo of it up, I used a huge peice of cardboard as my canvas which is nice to have a lot of space to paint on.

Well thats all for today enjoy some music.

Little things

2009-02-22T10:34:00.000-08:00

Why do little things hurt the most??

Like...paper cuts, shaving nicks, words, toaster burns, splinters! I have a bitch of a splinter stuck in my finger right now and I cannot get it out, it hurts so bad I feel like I should just cut off my finger because Im pretty sure it would hurt less than having this splinter in it. Maybe I should get some tweezers and dig it out gah!

I think I might have had one too many rum and cokes last night Im a little woozy this morning, might just need to drink more water and eat something...like a cheeseburger. Why are cheeseburgers so good? I love cheeseburgers I get such a hankering for them sometimes, I like when they have lots of lettuce and cheese and pickles on them. YUM!

So most of you know that I work at an elementary school, and I love it. Usually during the kids lunch time I have to supervise the yard with other aides, but there is so many of us that I usually end up playing with the kids and watching them at the same time. I really forget how much I miss playing sports like kick ball, hand ball, basketball, volleyball and who could forget 4-square!! Those games are soooo much fun. I remember in high school a group of friends and I brought back 4-square and played it behind the art building it was super fun but then they made us stop, how lame. I mean really what kind of person tells kids they arnt allowed to play games? Thats just wrong.

So today when I got home from work I took the soccer ball from our basket of sports balls and kicked it around the backyard for a while, it was really fun. I miss playing soccer I was so good at it and I played for a about 6 years. Its so weird to think about all the things I was involved with as a kid I dont know how my mom did it taking my sister and I to all our other activities outside of school....crazy man.

This song has been stuck in my head all week, I love it and it makes me want to dance around so enjoy.

Home sweet home

2009-02-18T08:43:00.000-08:00

So Im back home now after a much needed amazing weekend with my friends up north, it was so much fun. I missed my roommates a lot and being able to hang out with all of them last night was great, its kind of a rarity when all of us are home at the same time.

Now its back to workity work...booooooo I mean dont get me wrong I love my job and I love my paychecks but I love sitting around in my pj's being lazy and watching movies even more sometimes hahaha. I cant wait to get paid next week its going to be so nice to be able to pay bills and buy groceries hahaha!

Anyway Im off to work, enjoy this song. (ignore the video just listen to the song)
Dinah Washington-What a difference a day makes

San Franciscoooo

2009-02-15T16:33:00.000-08:00

Is amazing! I love this city, I came up for the weekend to hang out with some friends of mine and I have been having a fantastic time. Its been raining but its still beautiful and the city is still so fun. Yesterday we hung out down in the Castro went out to lunch then hung around and went to the annual Pillow Fight down near Embarcadero, it was so awesome there were so many people there with pillows it was awesome and really fun. I participated a little but mostly watched everyone else. When we went to the mall before the Pillow Fight to get a pillow and bumped into Sean Lennon I did like a 5ooth take looking at him and then I was like holy shit that is him! then my friend Brandi goes "WHAT SEAN LENNON!?" and he totally looked at us again as he was going up the escalator it was pretty funny.

Today we are just having a lazy day watching movies and tonight we are going to have a party, get a little intoxicated and have a big slumber party, its going to be fun! I love San Fran!

In case you dont hear it enough

2009-02-13T09:31:00.000-08:00

I love you.

happy valentine's day everyone.

Coraline...

2009-02-07T09:12:00.000-08:00

Such a good movie. I went as saw it last night, my friend Luis had a brother who did story boarding for it and we wanted to cheer when we saw his name on the big screen. We saw it at the 3D cinema, I cant imagine seeing this movie any other way! it was incredible and beautiful and eerie all at the same time. I really recommend seeing it in 3D if you can.

In other news Im making a trip to San Francisco next weekend to visit some of my very best friends up there. Im really excited to see them and to be able to spend some time since I havnt seen some of them in a while. I love San Francisco I hope someday I can live there I really miss Norther Cali, but I am finding more and more things about LA that make me want to stay so who knows.

Im off! Have a fantastic day.

Such a girl

2009-02-03T08:37:00.000-08:00

I got way too excited about using my new shampoo this morning, BUT IT SMELLS AMAZING!! hahaha

So yesterday was Ground Hog day and I didnt even get to watch the movie with Bill Murray that movie is hilarious! I love Bill Murray hes always so good in everything. Fun Fact: I used to hate the movie Ground Hogs Day when it first came out because I didnt get why it kept starting over and over I guess I didnt really pay attention but one day I actually watched it and loved it.

Also last night Monty and I started watching LOST, Ive never seen the show before and I didnt really understand what the big deal was. From what I heard of the show it seemed like it would be lame or something I wouldnt really get into. But we watched 3 episodes from the very first season and I must admit I am hooked. Its pretty intresting I just hope all my questions get answered because there are a lot of "what! wait.....huh why" moments right now because it just started. Anyway I cant wait to get home so I can watch more of it.

Im off to work! Have a fantastic day!

Sometimes I wish...

2009-01-29T19:43:00.000-08:00

I wish I was alive in the 70's for the sheer fact of being able to experience so much good music and fashion first hand. Yes I said fashion also, I think the 1970's had some amazing fashion trends.

But lets talk about music-So man great artists were at their peak in the 70's. Music is incredible it can fit any mood you just pick a song/artist and listen to them. Im currently listening to Elton John whom I loooooooooooove, and it got me thinking of all my other favorite artists from the 70's and the list just goes on and on.

look at Bowie's package....look at it you know you want to

mmmmsexy robert plant mmmmsexy zeppelin

I think I want to have a 1970's themed birthday party this year.

The Twilight Zone

2009-01-28T08:44:00.000-08:00

You have just entered it. Or so at least I feel like I have...the past few days have been good/weird/something?

You know whats excellent, finding out that you had $24 more than you thought you had! Jazz and I went to the mall because I needed clothes, after having ripped two pairs of jeans on the same stupid nail on my deck. Totally Lame. But I got two new pairs of jeans and a shirt for work and I stayed within my budget! hooray me! Friday is PAAAAAAY DAAAAAAAY!! Im not sure when the pay period is (like what date to what date) so it could just be a small paycheck but any paycheck is better than no paycheck! So long as I can make a payment on my student loan, and pay the DWP bill I'll be all set!

In other news, I still really want to move up to the bay area. More discussion on this later because I have to go to work and dont have the time to write about it now. Have a great day, enjoy some music!

Roots, Birthdays, Flapjack...

2009-01-23T09:18:00.000-08:00

I need to dye my hair...its looking very trailer park chic with my roots growing out because I havnt had time to get hair dye. I dont like my bangs they need to grow out more, mreh.

Today is my best friends birthday! Im so excited for tonight its going to be so much fun, I hope she has a great time.

The Mis-adventures of Flapjack is an amazing cartoon, and its even cooler that my friend JG Quintel is the artistic director for it, which is really cool to know someone who is doing what they love and making fantastic cartoons at the same time. If you havnt seen it I suggest you do so, its hilarious! The animation is great and flapjack is just the cutest. Check it out it comes on Cartoon Network and you can also watch it "on demand" if you have comcast. If you dont have either of those things you can find some episodes online. Here is a funny montauge of clips from the cartoon: I love the facial expressions Flapjack makes

2009-01-22T15:27:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was awesome, I spent so much time painting side by side with Jazz and it was great! I finished a little painting for her and she gave me two monster paintings that she did and they are fantastic! I'll try to post pictures soon. Also I finished my self portrait, and I think it came out rather well.

Its also fun to pretend you are french while painting,listening to Edith Piaf, and using your paint brush like a long cigarette holder.

Good Times had by all.

OOooooobama!!

2009-01-20T21:45:00.000-08:00

44th president!

I was lucky enough to see the inauguration this morning before I went to work, it was awesome! Im very excited to see how things progress with Obama as our president. For those of you who haven't watched his inaugural speech you should do so.

Other than that things have being going pretty well. My job is fun...a little confusing having to deal with people in the office not really giving clear answers but other than that the kids are great and I am enjoying it. I still want to try to get a second part time job but we'll see what happens with that its hard enough finding one job let alone a second one right now.

I just finished watching one of my favorite films Pulp Fiction, and now I feel like making pancakes. I mean who doesn't love breakfast for dinner?

Have a Dream...

2009-01-19T16:20:00.000-08:00

...it just goes to show you they can come true. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's I have A Dream speech:

Incredible.

Tomorrow we will have a new president. I think it comes at no coincident that it is the day after a day that honors one of the most historical civil rights leaders of our nation. Without the bravery and actions of the civil rights movement, we might have never seen a day that a man of african decent could become president.

Where the wild things are

2009-01-16T19:40:00.000-08:00

I am so excited for this movie to come out!! I loved this book growing up. I would read it over and over and over. When I heard they were making this into a film I was sooooo excited! Today I saw these production photos and it just makes me even more excited!

Letting the days go by

2009-01-15T17:26:00.000-08:00

Tonight is soapbox, I haven't been in a while so I think Im going to go. Plus its outside which I like a whole lot better than when its inside. I think its too cramped inside and it gives a whole different vibe to it. Anyway it will be good to see everyone that goes.

Ive been stuck on 80's music lately, which is NEVER a bad thing. Enjoy.

Talking Heads-Once in a lifetime

Crack that whip!

2009-01-14T23:01:00.000-08:00

Ladies Night!

2009-01-14T00:40:00.001-08:00

2nd day of work-awesome! I got my own schedule so tomorrow I actually start in my specific class rooms 4th&5th grade, Im pretty excited about it...that and the fact that I dont go into work until 10:30 so I can sleep in until 8:30 at the latestthe birds and the bee (it takes me about 20-25min to get to work) I know that seems early to wake up but I doddle in the morning so I allow for my slow paced getting ready hahaha.

Tonight I hung out with Jazz, Erin, and Hannah it was a lot of fun. I love those ladies we talked and laughed and watched american idol audition rejects and that show What would you do? where they stage senerios to see what people would do. I secretly want to be on that show because Im pretty sure I would do the right thing (spike lee?...lol) Anyway it was all good fun.

Also I watched Conan O'Brien the other night and 50cent was on, that guy is really funny I had no idea he was so humorus. I laughed out lout a lot, as usual when I watch Conan his show is too great for words.

I love museums!

2009-01-11T20:08:00.001-08:00

Today I went to the Getty Museum with Erin and Monty. It was so much fun the weather was perfect it was semi windy and just super nice. There was a lot of people and we saw some really cool exhibits, and the gardens of course were beautiful.

Tomorrow I start work, Im really nervous. But I think it will be really fun to work with kids agian. I used to work at an elementary school before and I had so much fun with it. Its a k-5th school which are really fun ages to work with because they dont have attitude yet hahaha. Im sure I'll post more about my first day tomorrow. Oh man I gotta wake up soooo eaaarrrrrlllyyyyy. Gone are the days of sleeping in until 12 when I want to, watching movies, and of course BEING BROKE! HOORAY FOR PAYCHECKS!!!

Also Ive had this song stuck in my head and I love it, you should too!

Womanizer! woooooooo

2009-01-10T17:12:00.000-08:00

Boy dont try to front, this version of Womanizer is amazing. I love all the different instruments and things they use to make this song. Truly better than Britney, yeah I said it!

this song also rings true about certain boys who be tryin to front shooooooooooooooot hahaha

Yesterday I finished a painting for my friend Aubrey. It came out really well and how I pictured it in my brain, now I am just doing some last minute touch ups. I hope she likes it. While I was painting I knocked over my cup of water into my lap and it looked liked I peed myself. Yet another clumsy moment unwitnessed by anyone but my dog.

My computer is still effed up, Im taking it to my dad's to get fixed.

Crystal gave me some great books, one of which is called Eat This, Not That! I started reading some of it last night and was highly surprised that some of the "eat this" choices were better that the "not that" examples. Im trying to count calories and really watch what I eat because Im trying to get healthy again and lose some weight. My bodacious booty is getting a little too bodacious hahah. Im doing pilates in the morning again, which should help.

Enjoy some music! These people dressed up as The Beets from the nickalodeon show Doug

Killer Tofu is my favorite!

Who watches the watchmen?

2009-01-08T12:19:00.000-08:00

I just finished reading the Watchmen. It was fantastic, if you havnt read it I highly suggest doing so. Even if you are not into graphic novels/comic books. It was really really good.

Last night I talked to my friends Aubrey and then Alex later in the night. It was much needed and I got some good laughter in, those two are hilarious. I really miss them not being in the bay area anymore. I wish I could visit more often, but money is tight. As much as I would love to live up there again I do have a pretty great group of friends and life where I am in LA. Im trying to love this city more and more, its starting to grow on me again.

Viruses and Pickles

2009-01-07T21:54:00.000-08:00

Tis a sad sad day!

I cannot use my laptop because despite all my efforts and the efforts/help from my pal Derek. My computer is a dirty whore thats got an STD of the digital kind. I have no idea how it happened or where it came from. Im taking her to get fixed on Friday and hopefully all will be well. In the mean time I am using Erin's.

Also, I came to the conclusion that I am addicted to people. Some people are addicted to crack, alcohol, or cigarettes. I am addicted to people. I like to people watch, observe others, and be around certain people a lot. There are certain people in my life that I am so hooked to spending time with. Not that its always a bad thing, or that you shouldn't want to hang out with people. But sometimes it becomes like an addiction, not a creepy stalker thing or anything weird like that. But almost like you need a fix of that person if even just for a few minutes. And sometimes those addictions are hard to get over, and it really sucks and it makes you want to punch yourself in the face and yell GET OVER IT! but you just cant. I think in those instances you can say to yourself "I am in a pickle." Which has always been a favorite saying of mine. Its absurd and fantastic.

Oh life.

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!

2009-01-06T12:28:00.000-08:00

Setting goals is important.

Todays goals:
get ready for the day (pjs not included)-check!

Today is going to be nice, I can tell. Im really trying to soak up the last of my vacation days before I start my new job. I cant wait to work at an elementary school again its going to be fantastic. Funny stories and incidences always arise when working with kids.

Good Morning Staaarrshiiiinnneee

2009-01-05T09:57:00.000-08:00

Oh how I love crisp cold mornings, being snuggled up in bed all warm and toasty but your face is kinda cold. It reminds me of camping.

This morning I took my friend Sasha home and on the way back to my house I was listening to some music. Have you never noticed that sometimes the song you are playing seems to sync up just right with the rest of the world? Like everyone is walking, or doing things to the exact beat of your music? I love when that happens!

I dont really have much to talk about so I'll leave it at that for today. Enjoy this silly remake of the Talking Heads "Burning down the house" by The Cardigans and Tom Jones

Oh Hello!

2009-01-04T11:56:00.000-08:00

So this is my first post eh?

Well here goes, I'm taking a cue from good friend and decided to start blogging. I think it will be good for me, who knows. This is probably going to be a hodgepodge of blog entries since my brain tends to go off on tangents, my writing will as well. Dont judge my grammar or punctuation. I'm not very good at either and if that is something that truly disrupts you from reading then you might want to walk away now...no seriously you should go check your myspace or something...

Also, a lot of my friends have been telling me Im good with giving advice so I think Im going to give it a shot on here. If you have questions or need advice feel free to email me at malliebee@gmail.com I promise to keep it 100% anonymous unless other wise noted or signed with a silly "dear abby" name, to which I will use that in response.

Its Sunday, I think I'll clean my room to some music.

Till next time!
