Sent me a Chicago Sun-Times press clipping that I wanted so very much. Thank you! Alani loves a good Irish parade, dresses up her cat for Halloween, and is a member of a karaoke group on MySpace. So Alani, I was singing karaoke on Saturday night... "Love the One You're With." Good song that got the crowd going (despite my off-key rendition.) I highly recommend it.

Okay, so time to get sappy... Every time I'm sad or get down, I look at my blog or MySpace page, read some comments and realize how lucky I am to have the best blogging FRIENDS ever. I say "friends" because I think the word "fan" is stupid - I love ya'll as much as you hopefully love me, and I'm positive that if we all lived in the same city we'd hang out. Thank you so much for making me feel loved on a daily basis. I cannot thank you enough!

YOU ARE THE STARS IN MY SKY. XX

It's my birthday, bitches!

In my new Calvin Klein birthday hat from my friend Cristin. I'm so fierce.

Sent from my BlackBerry wireless handheld.

PS: I added the picture a few hours after I posted this. It was taken at 4am after several cocktails, so please excuse the smeared eye makeup. Yikes.

He Made it! Elvis on Stuff On My Cat

Oh my Gosh, he made it!!! Elvis on Stuff On My Cat



He's such a superstar. And I'm such a stage mom. OMG, I can see it now...

Due to his success at Stuff On My Cat, I'll start enrolling Elvis in beauty pageants and taking him on commercial auditions. He'll be successful, no doubt, and will make a lot of money, money that I'll end up stealing, of course, because that's what good stagemoms do. To drown his pain and sorrow, Elvis will turn to a life of drugs and alcohol. (It'll be the cheap stuff, like crack and Old English malt liquor, because that's all he'll be able to afford.) After hitting rock bottom, Elvis will go to rehab, which will be the beginning of a kick-butt comeback. After being the subject of an E! True Hollywood Story, Elvis will start getting roles -- not just in commercials and such -- but in real Hollywood Blockbusters. Fast forward... I'm walking Elvis down the red carpet, he's won the award and is standing on stage. After doing a couple one-armed push ups ala Jack Palance to show everyone what a stud he is, he'll say...

"Meow, meow, meow, meooooow."

...which a translator will translate to:

"I owe all of this to my mom, Karyn. I love you, you crazy bitch! Rock on!"

Yessssssss.

PS - I like our titles better.

Good Movie Quote: The Upside of Anger

"Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That's what I know now. It needs nothing to burn but the air and the life that it swallows and smothers.

It's real, though... the fury... even when it isn't. It can change you, turn you, mold you, and shape you into something you're not.

The only upside to anger, then, is the person you become - hopefully, someone that wakes up one day and realizes they're not afraid to take the journey; someone that knows that the truth is, at best, a partially told story; that anger, like growth, comes in spurts and fits, and in its wake, leaves a new chance at acceptance, and the promise of calm."

PMS

Every time I get PMS I cry easily. Last month it was an episode of Oprah about a dog with no front legs that brought on the tears; tonight it was Flashdance.

Take your passion and make it happen.

I'm Alive

I'm still wrapping up my screenplay - I'll be back full-time next week! Until then, please enjoy a hot flashback to the eighties on my MySpace page. (I have since changed it, but when I wrote this it was "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses.)

When you're done, tell me what memories hearing the song sparks. It reminds me of a guy I dated named Mark who drove a white Camaro and put Sun-In in his hair.

Also, here are two pics of my niece Nora. She is playing in Auntie Karyn's accessories in the first (I knit that scarf, btw, and bought those big sunglasses in a vintage shop in London WAY before those Olsen twits started wearing them), and is wearing a cute outfit I bought her in the second. The t-shirt says, "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn" and don't you just love those pants?
