5 Randoms

1) Britney Spears' "Womanizer" is stuck in my head.  It's really good though.  I'm really proud of her and am glad to see her doing so much better.  I listened to a sampler from her new album and it seems to be a winner.  Boy don't try to front/I, I know just just what you are are are...

2) If you love "The Office" and John Krasinski, you HAVE to watch this interview with him.  He is a great storyteller and this proves it.  It was actually this video that introduced me to him and made me start watching "The Office" just so I could see more.

3) I have to be at work today at 5pm.  I'm bored though (which is partly why I'm blogging), so I want to go in early, but then I'll just be bored at work.  At least at home I can still chill in my sweats.  I like having these days where I pretty much have the whole day before going to work and I don't have any other plans.  I'll usually end up trying something new with my hair.  Today I straightened it.  I know it's straight already, but right now it's like Jennifer Aniston in "Friends" straight.  I'm playing around with "The Hills" style hairstyles since they always do interesting things with their hair.

4) I'm looking over this post so far and it's making me think: I know TV show titles are put in quotations while movies would be italicized, but italicized usually looks cooler.  I can't let go of my English major upbringing though, so they'll stay in quotations.

5) I had a few conversations with blue eyed boy yesterday.  I told him that he was like Frank Sinatra because of the Old Blue Eyes thing, having previously gotten the hint that he is a fan of Frank.  Unfortunately, he's quiet and can be kind of expressionless, so I have no clue if he was flattered or thinks I'm crazy.  Maybe I'll find out in the next few days.  But in the mean time, I have to figure out my hair (since it's my thing, according to Courtney) and which Hills star to copy! :)

Things That Make Me Feel Better When I'm Irritated or Down

Work started out well today, but got a little frustrating towards the end.  But there's nothing like James McAvoy's "Scottish vacuum of charm" or John Krasinki's "Car Story" to make me cheer up.  Why can't I always have a Scottish person around to keep me perky?

In other news: Happy Birthday Hermione Granger!  She's 29 today.

And yes, I know I'm a dork since I know how old she is.  But JK Rowling told us that she was born in 1979!

Miley Cyrus

I admit it.  I used to be a Miley Cyrus fan.  I watched "Hannah Montana" when it first came out and own her first two CDs.

But she crossed the line for her sixteenth birthday party.

The Powers That Be SHUT DOWN DISNEYLAND for the entire day for her birthday party!  And that really ticks me off.

Sure, there were like 250 special fans chosen that got to come.  But think of all the families that had planned vacations to the original Disney theme park for that day.  What are they supposed to do?  What if that was the one day that they were able to spend at the park?  Oh sorry, one little 16 year old is more important than thousands of kids who are trying to live the dream.

And really, this is probably more Disney's fault than Miley's, but I think her ego is probably growing too big anyway.  She acted immature in her YouTube video response to Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato's video.  Yes, she is only sixteen, but she needs to remember that she's in the spotlight with so many people scrutinizing her, waiting for her to mess up.  She chose this life (or at least agreed to it) and should accept the fact that she can't act like a normal teenager while in the Hollywood spotlight without having to face major consequences.
