I just got back from the Strokes concert in San Diego. Oh. My. God. Best. Show. Ever. Julian Casablancas is so unbelievably hot. I have been waiting 5 years to see the Strokes and now I finally have. They did not disappoint me in the least. I can't even describe the feeling that I had at that concert. I have never been starstruck before, but tonight I was. Every time Julian spoke I about melted. I love his voice. LOVE IT! One of the best days of my life. I'm not going to be able sleep. This makes no sense! Good night!

I believe that I am cursed. I am cursed because I am 5'1, I have a big ass and I have red hair which means I can not attract normal men. No seriously I can't. Being a red head is hard enough because we always attract weirdos that are obsessed with red heads. Then being short by itself is hard because we attract weirdos that are obsessed with short girls. I AM BOTH! I am short with a big ass and a red head, not to mention I have freckles. Do you realize what kind of freaks this means I attract?

I attract men that are 55 with missing teeth and thugs, neither of which I am attracted to. I get lines like, "I like short girls" or "I've always had a thing for red heads." These men wave at me in traffic and blow me kisses. When I drive up the 5 to go home, I get about 5 or 6 truck drivers that honk at me. *vomit* The first couple times this happened I just shrugged it off with, "Everybody gets nasty men hitting on them." Then after about 5 years of only nasty men hitting on me, I have realized that those are the only men I attract.

Is it my perfume? Do I need to read the bottle more carefully? Does it actually say "Warning: May attract old men with missing teeth or freaks that like to touch your hair without your permission?" Do I have a sign on my back that says "Please make obscene gestures towards me?" Maybe I am so delusional about my love affair with George Clooney that I have convinced myself I am seriously dating him and flying off to Lake Como on weekends so I am giving off this vibe that I am unavailable.

I have been single for so long that it's almost embarrassing, but that's not what is even bothering me. I like being single. I have no desire for a boyfriend, I mean I already have George, but I would at least like to be hit on by a semi-attractive human being for once. Is this too much to ask for? Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm the hottest thing on the planet, but I do at least know that I am more attractive than a 55 year old man with missing teeth. Or am I? Maybe I should just go ahead and put on my overalls, get my pitchfork and head down to the South because I'm starting to think that God is telling me that these are the only men I am ever going to attract.

This weekend I came down with the most miserable illness. I can't tell if it's the flu or a cold, but I have a feeling it's the flu because my whole entire body aches. So basically I felt like utter shit this weekend so who's better then George Clooney to make a sick girl look at the brightside of life? This weekend I have watched Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Out of Sight, and countless hours of ER to get myself a healthy dose of my Georgie Boy. Since I'm sick and I have absolutely nothing to post about I decided I would brighten all of your days by posting pictures of the Sexiest Man Alive, 1997. If you would actually like to see something entertaining go to Gloria's blog and hear me drunkenly sing "Trapped in the closet."





I'm feeling much better now.

P.S. I will do a real post tomorrow.

Observations made while watching the Oscars and drinking $5 wine:

Jon Stewart in bed with George Clooney = hott. Two of my favorite men in bed together...hmmm

Jon Stewart is my hero.

I think they should keep the camera on George Clooney all night long and call it the "Sexy Cam"

George likes to announce he was the Sexiest Man Alive, 1997 at every given opportunity! I love him for it.

I HATE Charlize Theron. Being a beautiful person and playing an ugly person does not make you a good actress. Stop taking these roles. You are boring. P.S. You have a big ugly black bow on your shoulder.

NOOOOoooooo...Spoon is on a Jaguar commercial! Dear lord!

I love Reese Witherspoon. Best speech of the night!

Crash? Crash? Are you fucking kidding me? Did the Academy even watch the other four movies???!!

$5 wine makes me an angry bitter woman!

One of the funniest things I heard in one of the celebrity interviews was by George Clooney, "Ya know this Ang Lee guy? I don't like him. I think he's a Communist."

Overall the Oscars were enjoyable. I hope Jon is invited back!

The Oscars are on Sunday so I thought I would make my predictions. I don't know how much they are predictions, but rather who I want to win. (The ones in bold are who I want to win)



Best Actor in a Leading Role:
Phillip Seymour Hoffman: Capote
Terrence Howard: Hustle and Flow
Heath Ledger: Brokeback Mountain
Joaquin Phoenix: Walk the Line
David Strathairn: Good Night and Good Luck

This was a tough decision between Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix, but seeing Heath transform throughout the movie was amazing so I had to go with him, but if Joaquin wins I won't be too disappointed.




Best Actor in a Supporting Role:
George Clooney: Syriana
Matt Dillon: Crash
Paul Giamatti: Cinderella Man
Jake Gyllenhaal: Brokeback Mountain
William Hurt: A History of Violence

I believe that this year there will be the first ever tie for a category. Actually, I just can't be forced to choose between the two loves of my life. That's like asking me to choose between my parents.



Best Actress in a Leading Role:
Judi Dench: Mrs. Henderson Presents
Felicity Huffman: Transamerica
Keira Knightley: Pride and Prejudice
Charlize Theron: North Country
Reese Witherspoon: Walk the Line


I love Keira Knightley and Felicity Huffman, but Reese Witherspoon was so good in Walk the Line and she's just too cute not to like. I'm not a big fan of chick flicks, but I always like hers because I just love her. If Charlize Theron wins I will be beyond livid. I hate her. She thinks she's such a good actress because in every movie she makes herself ugly and so therefore she deserves an Oscar.



Best Actress in a Supporting Role:
Amy Adams: Junebug
Catherine Keener: Capote
Frances McDormand: North Country
Rachel Weisz: The Constant Gardener
Michelle Williams: Brokeback Mountain

I was talking about Michaelle Williams with my mom the other day and we both agreed that her reaction to finding out that her husband was actually gay was just amazing. I also just really like her so I picked her:)

Best Animated Feature:
Howl's Moving Castle
Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride
Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit


Wallace and Gromit was one of the funniest movies I saw this year. Very well done and I thought The Corpse Bride was unbelievably boring.

Best Directing:
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
Crash
Good Night and Good Luck
Munich

It was hard for me not to pick George, but I have never been speechless at the end of a movie the way I was with Brokeback Mountain. A lot of that was the acting, but I think that had it been a different director the movie would have had a completely different feel.



Best Picture:
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
Crash
Good Night and Good Luck
Munich

Once again I have never been speechless at the end of a movie the way I was with Brokeback Mountain.




Best Writing(Adapted Screenplay):
Brokeback Mountain
Capote
The Constant Gardener
A History of Violence
Munich

Amazing script.



Best Writing(Original Screeplay):
Crash
Good Night and Good Luck
Match Point
The Squid and the Whale
Syriana

I love my George Clooney.

Yesterday I was in Best Buy sending my iPod off to be fixed for the second time and also purchasing the movies Walk the Line and Pride and Prejudice. I was walking down one of the isles when I saw one of the twenty-something-year-old workers speaking to one of his coworkers and I heard him say as I was walking past, one of the dumbest things I think I have ever heard. These are the words that this kid had the audacity to speak, "Yeah, I was listening to Johnny Cash way before everyone else did and now you go to the bars and that's all you hear is Johnny Cash. They don't even play the good songs either!" I wanted to turn around and say to him, "Really, you were listening to Johnny Cash before ANYONE else? Really? How old are you again? You must age really well because I thought Johnny Cash made it big in the 50's."

I absolutely cannot stand people like this. They are almost always stupid scenster kids that dress like they're punk and then they wear their Hurley hats!! You did not discover Johnny Cash. You did not listen to him before anyone else did! So get over the fact that an awesome movie has made a lot of younger people that would have been too stupid to ever give Johnny Cash a chance, made him popular again. It is a phase. It will pass. You will live. Then when they make a movie about the Beatles you can talk about how you listened to the Beatles before everyone else did and how they don't even play their good songs at bars!
