Are you there Karma, it's me Pissed Off

Most of you know my current professional predicament. For those of you that don't I can quickly enlighten you on the situtation.
*Note* In the tradition of being professional, I will leave out all names of individuals and places involved.

I work at a college in the athletics department, I'm going on five years now. I was recently passed up for a higher administration position even though I have my Master's degree and have been doing the job already (and receiving excellent job reviews every year!). To add insult to injury I am an alum of the institution and have more education than my boss who made that choice and I had to give up my office for the new person. Now I have a desk right near my boss' office.

So I ask you Karma, when will I get my day?? Or better yet, can you rear your fateful head to my boss who def deserves to get hers????

I'll be waiting.

Nyc prep season finale was Tuesday. And of course I watched. Sebastian wants to help with the wells in Africa...moving on. Pc and Taylor are talking, she is full of shit, he is creepy for wanting to be friends with a 15 year old (he is 18). She figures out that he wanted to help her as a project which is probably why she didn't go to the party...hmmmm.
Kelli and Sebastian should just sleep together and get it over with. Anyway, her singing career is taking off, she does have a nice voice but I am guessing doing this show might not help her career, or perhaps it will. He wants her to sing for the benefit, stayed tuned.
Jessie looks like some sort of animal, I can't think of which one, maybe a possum? Anyway she is at a photoshoot for some reason...

She starts yelling at him for going out all the time. She feels responsible for him, confusing since they ARE not dating. Even with all the makeup she still looks terrible. The male model is nothing great and together they make an awkward pair, almost as awkward as PC and Taylor...almost. Apparently only girls were invited to this benefit. Camille you are a bitch. Kelli sings.
Jessie is having a dinner party with seniors from her school. Why do they all look older than me? Pc hasn't picked a college, keep in mind his family is rich as hell and he can probably buy into any school. Also, according to reports he wants to move to LA and become an actor, which is why he did this show so he probably won't be going to college. Jessie is an idiot. I like Kat...

She seems just as annoyed by Jessie as the rest of America. Jessie leaves her OWN dinner party. What would Emily Post say to that Jessie?? PC and Jessie meet, he is mad that she is acting like his mother, she is playing dead like the possum she is. He thinks they fight because they care. In her interview she says PC is right, and that ladies and gentleman is the first time she has said that all season.
Taylor why are you on this show? And why do these prep school kids want to be friends with you? Camille almost compliments someone, excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the ground.
Taylor shoots down Camille in a Taylor way, like she doesn't know she is doing it, but still enjoys it.
Sebastian is his father's people.

Camille is late and Jessie is "super busy". Camille has no drive for this Operation Smile. Jessie gave her information and she didn't follow up on it. Camille thinks Jessie should have followed up. She is wrong and Jessie is annoying mentioning babysitting PC again...who cares and what does that have to do with Operation Smile?
The event kicks off and Camille is still pissed. She is totally wrong with this and Kelli agrees that Camille is an idiot. Camille doesn't care about the charity, she cares about being able to put it on her transcript. She goes to talk to the managers of Operation Smile and talks shit on Jessie. The managers seem to ignore that and think she should start a club at her school and Camille thinks she is brillant for approaching them.

That does it, I think Camille is the devil. The event ties everything together and in the end the kids talk about what they are planning. PC seems like he is becoming less of an ass, but I am sure that was just bc he will no longer be on the show. Jessie is a bitch. Camille is more of a bitch, and is being setup by Bravo as the new Jessie...GREAT. Sebastian is a walking STD. Taylor doesn't know what year it is. kelli thinks she is the next Kelly Clarkson. Jessie and PC will be on different coasts and they are now adults since they graduated. That is the last we will see of Jessie aka my eyes are too close together and PC aka I wear eyeliner. Till next season!!!

Dear Kristen Stewart,
Where do I begin? I loved you in Panic Room. I thought you would grow up to be an amazing actress. Now that you have grown up? You maybe a good actress but it is overshadowed by your awkwardness. It has become so unbearable that I become awkward/embarrassed watching you. From your scenes in Adventureland or even some in Twilight to your interviews and acceptance speeches. It's come to the point where when I watch you on tv I cannot stand it anymore and have to turn you off. The piece d'resitance had to be your acceptance speech on one of MTV's award shows. You gave one of your awkward speeches and fumbled your award where if bounced across stage. If this doesn't sum you up, I don't know what does. Given you regret signing up for Twilight and hate all the attention it brings, please use the money for good and get a life coach, or someone to guide you through this horrible stage in your life. Interviews shouldn't be that horrible. Or maybe use your acting for good and act like you want to be in front of the camera and like people. Or how else will you make it through life as an actor. Please don't ruin the twilight series for me and every other girl out there. We're counting on you!

Watched Jon & Kate Plus 8 last night and actually was not annoyed by Kate. For a second I thought to myself, Jon is a fool for leaving her and dating girls that are in their 20s. Then a rerun followed the new episode and Jon's choice was clear...kudos.

Observation: is it just me or did Rob Pattinson peak in Harry Potter (looks and acting ability).

So last night, out of sheer boredom and reliving my high school years, I decided to watch the Teen Choice Awards. The Jonas Brothers were hosts for the night, which considering I may or may not have a little unrequited crush on Nick, I somewhat enjoyed. I mean seriously if I had that complection @ 16 (or now) life would have been easier. I digress. The show opened with them performing Much Better and then jumped right into the awards. I don't remember who won what because they have the most ridiculous award categories in the free world. Suffice it to say that Zac Efron looked delicious, as did Ed Westwick. Dane Cook came out and mentioned something about Vanessa Hudgens nude pics 2.0 and how she needs to keep her clothes on, but it was cut out of the final broadcast. I am sure her mother is telling her this on a daily basis, but really V, why the need to send naked pics to people? That is so not Gabrielle and def not Disney. You are walking on thin ice my friend and hurting your cameo in HSM4. Speaking of making bad decisions, let's jump to Miley Cyrus. Now Miles, I know your father ok'ed near naked pics of you in Vanity Fair while sitting on his lap, or something equally disturbing, but that doesn't mean we have to turn slut on national television. The pole on the ice cream cart was almost as unnecessary as your booty shorts and 45 bracelets during the performance. Apparently she won like 5 awards for hannah montana the movie, the show, and the soundtrack, and after the song thanked the fans and her father and lord jesus (one in the same, not Billy Ray). Now M, I'm not a hugely religious person but I do think that WWJD probably doesn't include the pics, stripper pole, and outfits you wear. You are in a great position to be a role model so start acting like it. Hannah came back to give the Ultimate Choice Award to Britney Spears for all she has done (in the 90s). Montana preceded to say that Britney was 'her hero' (that explains it) and out comes Britney. Now what I found fantastic was that Brit took the surfboard and ignored Miley's life. Brit never seemed too comfortable in front of crowds, but here she was downright spasitic and couldn't wait to get off stage, even as the crowd was chanting her name (I kid you not). O and Brits, please buy a brush or at the very least brush your wigs before a tv appearance. After the speech, she ignores 'X-tina 2.0' again, priceless. That will def be in her E! True Hollywood Story. Awesome. I feel bad for the youth of America these days, bc of Miley and the horrible music of this generation. I have to say though, they do have their Mandy Moores of this era in Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, so hopefully those girls stay sane and make good choices throughout their careers. The show closed with the ring bearing JoBros performing their new single. I am just going to say this, anyone who dated Miley Cyrus is prob not that pure anymore. Till the Emmys...

Shark Week

Shark week comes once a year. And as much as I fear sharks, I am just as fascinated by them. In the past few years it hasn't been as good because of the Discovery channel's need to incorporate their shows (i.e. Dirty Jobs, and Myth Breakers) into the week. But every year there are a few of the shows that stand out. Sharkbite Summer was the most interesting. It told of the attacks during the summer of 2001. Most of us probably remember the craziness that followed. Between july and september the media ate the stories up. In the end there were no more attacks then in years past. The last attack told happened on September 3, 2001 and 8 days later no one cared about sharks. Most of these attacks happened in water waist deep or less. And with that knowledge... I will never enter the ocean again. The other great hour talked on the shark attacks on the Jersey coast during the summer of 1916. Within days and only miles apart 4 people were attacked. Prior to this summer no one believed sharks, or any creature in the ocean, attacked people. And certainly no one had the power to kill a full grown man. One attack happened in the ocean. The three others? In a river. Did I mention I am NEVER entering any body of water that isn't a pool? This summer forced researchers to take a different look at sharks and people to never enter the ocean withough knowing something cold easily kill them. We now know that bull sharks can survive in fresh water and because of this many think that this shark was the attacker.

Shark week ended on Sunday and 60 minutes caught my attention with a piece on feeding sharks. This segment talked of great whites in south africa and the tour boats that chum the water so tourists get their money's worth. The tour operators think this is no big deal, the surgers think it raises the attacks on humans. In fact on that beach alone their have been six shark attacks in the last year, 4 were fatal. Their argument is that sharks associate people with food and that no other wild animal can be fed by humans, why is it ok to attrack great whites? The other thing happening in this region? Shark fin hunting. Boats the size of oil tankers go out and catch sharks to cut off their fins for shark soup. I will spare you the graphic images... Just know that I cried. Seemed a fitting end to Shark week. I start on Sunday watching programs on shark attacks and watch victims tell their stories of fear and suffering. Then watch victim's relatives tell of their loss, and end the week crying because of the sufferig and fear of the sharks themselves. How fitting. Until next year! That is assumming this blog is still active.

Ok, I know stripping, a Playboy spread, and drugs are in Miley Cyrus's future, but perhaps the pole she was grinding on the ice cream cart @ The Teen Choice Awards was a little premature and inappropriate.

I have to wonder if Paula Abdul is really leaving American Idol or if this is just a stunt. Assuming she is leaving, I will miss her. No one will be there to comment on one's 'beautiful soul'. that apparently is obvious through one song. I'll also miss her comments about an outfit or her old school critiques of "touchdown" (I'm sure Kelly Clarkson still thinks that when she nails a concert). I'll cherish when she precedes to comment by "3 words" and then says 4. When she judges a song yet to be sung or based on rehearsal. Or my fav, when she performs her new single and they make it seem like it just happened, even go as far as to yank her from her seat, but really it was taped the day before. In conclusion, no one can boost an ego when it's undeserved like Paula and I'll miss you making me feel more coherent and knowledgeable when drunk. The real losers? This year's contestants. Good luck dawgs!

Observation: why did Lady Gaga get nominated for 9 VMAs? Unless they made new categories such as, worst dresser and artist who made one beat into an album; I'm confused.

An open letter to kristin cavallari:

Dearest Kristin,

I'm not going to lie, u grew on me in season 2 of the Beach. U were funny and bitchy in an awesome way to ur annoying friend with the oddly placed dimple. Seriously though K, bashing LC while promoting a season of a show u no doubt came crawling to and she created is a little Laguna Beach. And by that I mean high school, not awesome. Also, I am not sure ur platform of a straight to dvd van wilder movie trumps her new york times best seller. So, even though u claim Lauren has no personality and ur going to bring it to The Hills, please remember this: no one, and I mean NO ONE, cheered for you and Stephen.

NYC PREP how I hate you but can't seem to turn you off. Where to begin for this week?
Let us begin with Camille, aka, bitch. Not sure why this girl slams everyone she comes in contact with (including her friend Kelli) but not only does she slam them, she seems to enjoy it. First Sebastian; we all can agree this Leif Garret (sure I mispelled that) look-a-like can be an ass but Camille really had no right to put down his dating history. Especially considering she seems to have no dating history herself...or dating future. Then she moves on to Kelli. Newsflash Camille, Kelli has probably the same odds (9%) becoming a singer as you do getting into to your precious Harvard, Rory Gilmore you are not.
Taylor, why are you on this show? You know no one and your boyfriend is a complete waste of space. Moving on.PC, we now can confirm you wear eyeliner. I am not shocked and this discovery puts to rest my jealousy over your eyelashes. PC, please focus your last semester of high school finding out what team you play for, not trying to make 15yr old Taylor your newest project. And then after that ask yourself what Jessie actually saves you from and when these saves happened, I know I am curious. In the end this was a setup episode for next week season finale which looks damn good. PC and Jessie's scene alone will entertain me, as will replaying Jessie falling down the stairs...thats called karma my dear, lets hope Camille gets her's.

Creepy dads produce creepy kids

Working at Toys R Us can be awesome, currently I have a bet with my boss if I sell fifty bpps he will dress up as a cheerleader with pom poms, other times it can get weird. There are collectors who are very intense about their toys. I was helping one such collector locate a star wars potato head. He wanted a R2-D2 one which we did not have although her insisted there was one. As he continued on about how amazing Star Wars was and the genius that is Lucas he segwayed onto his son. Who was also involved with collecting Mr. Potato head and that this was supposed to be a gift to him. As he turned towards me he checked me out and then said I was the type of girl his son usually goes for, what that exactly ment, I don't know. He wanted to get my number to give to his son as I looked like good potential girlfriend material. As my creep-o-meter was going into the red zone I decided it was time to leave. Moral of the story, always say no to creepy dads trying to set you up with their toy collecting sons, because they have the same creepy genes.

Wrong Text

A few years ago a friend of mine, Vicki had a fight with my other friend Terri. Vicki was so fed up she decided to text our other friend Sherri about what was going on. She was writing all about what happened that day and essentially her thoughts about Terri and that time. Vicki pressed the send button...... only to realize the entire text she sent went to Terri. This is where a little luck came in. They lived together (college what do you expect). Vicki....stealthily went into Terri's room while she was in the bathroom. Vicki heard the phone ringing but couldn't see it. She followed the sound to Terri's purse. Vicki knew she shouldn't go through her purse but she couldn't let Terri see this awful text. She grabbed the purse and found the phone. She quickly erased it and left the room as fast as she could. Crisis averted.....

Moral of the story.....if you're going to send angry texts about a friend....make sure you're not actually sending it to that friend.
