Preach On
As I was walking to my car today, some guy passing me said, “Hi, how are you?”
“Good. How are you?”
“Just another day in paradise,” he said with a smile.
Isn’t it though?

ME ON THE RED CARPET OF SPIKE TV’S GUY’S CHOICE / MAKING OUT WITH MICHAEL IRVIN
(via Asylum.com)
Spike TV recently honored celebs who appeal to the alpha-est of the alpha males with their 2010 Guys Choice Awards. Asylum decided to assign our most macho correspondent to cover the festivities. He wasn’t available, so we sent comedian Ron Babcock instead …

The Phenomenon Know As "Foggy Brain"
I am, shall we say, sensitive, to sleep deprivation. Not getting enough sleep results in a noticeable drop in my energy levels, which tends to lead to a noticeable drop in my mood and an increase in the amount I complain. Which is pretty typical of most tired people. I also get what I call “foggy brain” after relatively small amounts of sleep deprivation. Foggy brain makes me forget...

In an interesting turn of events, my dad wished me a happy Father’s Day this year. I suppose he might be trying to make up for the fact that my mom never wished me a happy Mother’s Day. (Note: I am not a mother.) (A second note: I am also not a father, JUST TO BE CLEAR.)

Credit Where Credit Is Due
I did not coin the term “cordial boys” used in this post. Erika did. However, I do not know if she prefers the rudes or the gentlemen, just so we are clear. Both gentlemen and rudes alike should feel free to “holla” at her.

Rude Boyz
No offense to Rihanna, or anybody else who loves them a rude boy, but that is just not my taste. I prefer cordial boys, someone with some manners, someone who is perhaps even, a gentleman.
And I’m not just saying that, either.
Open a car door for me, and I will inevitably smile.
Greet me with a hug/kiss and ask me how my day was and my heart instantly softens.

Fact:
People masturbate in the single toilet bathrooms in the ArcLight Hollywood movie theater, on the main floor. Or at the very least they leave their “Butt” magazine in the trash there.
I know because I used to work there. It was a darker time in my life.
I have blocked out what else was probably in that trash along with the porn.
What is wrong with people?

Today
Today has been a mess.
An early morning, zombie-like state of being, tedium, stress, low-blood sugar cranky mess.
An exhausted, zoning out, getting into a minor car collision, running late, driving across town, fighting with my mom on the phone, missing my appointment mess.
A talking to the insurance, losing it, melting down, crying, crawling into bed for a late afternoon nap, headache...

The Perfect Weekend for a First Date
is the weekend a Pixar movie comes out. What kind of person would say no to going to see a Pixar movie?
“I’d love to take you to see Toy Story 3 tonight.” - HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER!
You’re welcome.
(Disclaimer: don’t actually ever take any dating advice from me, ever. I am terrible at dating.)

steventran asked: There are some neat Dutch world cup shirts. You know how they pull their shirts over their head when they score? These shirts have a player's face printed on the inside so you can pull the shirt over your head and run around looking like one of them. http://www.coolhunting.com/culture/world-cup.php Scroll down a bit. Shirts are orange.

IT’S ALL MY DREAMS WRAPPED UP IN ONE MAN!
Somewhere along the way I became more of an Oscar’s and then an Emmy’s girl instead of belonging heart and soul to the Tony’s.
Let’s psycho-analyze that, shall we?

Heidi Garvin vs. The World Cup, Round 1
I decide to not watch the games that come on in the wee morning hours, since they are not even in my team’s group (I went with the Netherlands, for all kinds of reasons, one of them being my tiny bit of Dutch heritage). I do, however, decide to go over to a friend’s house this morning to watch the USA vs. England match. I get there and the apartment is PACKED with 20 something year old...
me: LA without Heidi Garvin. does that even exist? who will the homeless people talk to?
him: Seriously
me: who will old men hit on?
him: Who will every crazy man hit on?
him: Who will kindly talk to strangers who later reveal that they are in fact serial killers?

Important Life Choices
I have decided to become an avid World Cup fan, despite knowing nothing about it. I may or may not be doing this in order to cope with other changes in my life. Avoidance! That’s healthy, right?
My only problem (ok, my MAIN problem regarding World Cup viewing) is that I do not have television until Monday. I am thinking about finding a bar that is open all night in Hollywood and being the...

Dear Nephew Garvin,
I have been calling you “buddy” for several months, now. Recently, that has morphed into “bubby.”
I am sorry if you grow up with a Jewish grandmother complex.
Silly faces and giggles,

True Story
I voted today (and so should you). At the polls, a gentleman asked me what my name was, because he wanted to write me as his vote (for what, I don’t know.) He claimed to think I was so pretty, I should be in charge, because everyone would listen to me.
There are so many flaws with his logic, I don’t even know where to start.
Please, don’t write me in as a candidate for...

Singing In My Sleep
When I first moved in with my former Sparkle of a Roommate, we were sophomores in college. We had a total of four girls living in a three bedroom apartment. She and I were the two who shared a room. And the summer Olympics were on.
In the first week or two we were living together, I sang the Olympics theme song in my sleep.
Not that there are lyrics to sing, but you know, “da, da, da da da...
These People, They Find Me
While walking down Main downtown last night at approximately 8pm, a gentleman stopped me and asked if I could help him with something. Feeling generous and good-willed to my fellow man, I responded, “sure,” thinking he might need directions or something.
It took him a few attempts to phrase his question to his liking, and what eventually came out of his mouth was this: “Let me...

You see why it’s a good thing I don’t live with her anymore? How on earth was I supposed to get any boyz with a beauty like this walking around the apartment in heels and cooking? Also: I want to go to there.
