Dear Brian Sabean,
Do yourself and the city of San Francisco a favor and fire yourself. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Penny


This is the letter I've been contemplating sending Brian Sabean, the GM for the San Francisco Giants. Last season when he was talking about trading JT Snow I wrote him a much longer version to express my hatred for him, but the 8 game losing streak by the Giants has left me with no energy to do so.

This is worse than watching a train wreck. I can't even explain the pain and disappointment. The Giants are my abusive boyfriend that I can't get rid of. Whenever I swear them off forever they come back and show signs of change. They remind you of why you fell in love with them in the first place. Then, right when you think they really have turned things around they smack you down again. Every Giants fan knows what I am talking about. We are all masochists.

I haven't been this down in the dumps about the Giants since the day after we lost the World Series. I feel like I'm going to puke and I'm too sad to cry. It is a constant throbbing pain and sadness that I cannot explain. I just feel dead inside. All of this because of a baseball team. And I know in the morning I will wake up with a hope that this will be the day that the Giants turn it all around. Why? Because that is what Giants fans do.

P.S. I will be making Giants T-shirts that say "Disgruntled Giants fan" on the front and "Fire Brian Sabean" on the back. Let me know if you want one.

Life sucks right now, but I have Netflix and alcohol and Thom Yorke. So I guess it can't be that bad right now. But honestly...Thom Yorke is a fucking god. Is it bad that I want to quit my job after 4 days? The lady at work may have given me an eating disorder. Never work retail....ever!

Please excuse me but I got to ask
Are you only being nice
Because you want something
My fairy tale arrow pierces
Be careful how you respond
'Cause you'd not end up in this song
I never gave you an encouragement
And it's doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in

The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
Oh the more, the more
The more you try the eraser
The more, the more
The more that you appear

You know the answer so why do you ask
I am only being nice
Because I want someone, something
You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn
And it's doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in

The more you try to erase me
The more, the more
The more that I appear
Oh the more, the more
The more I try to erase you
The more, the more
The more that you appear
No, you're wrong, you're wrong
You're wrong, you're wrong
You're wrong, you're wrong

Top 10 Hottest Guy Movie Characters

1. George Clooney as Jack Foley in Out of Sight
George Clooney is hot in any movie, but this is him at his hottest. I think it has to do with the feel of the film and the chemistry between him and Jennifer Lopez. I'm not a big fan of JLO in other things, but in this movie she rocks. Out of Sight is easily the sexiest movie I've ever seen.



2. Paul Newman as Brick Pollitt in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman, two beautiful people. Sure, Paul is kind of an ass in this movie, but that just makes him hotter. That and the fact that he is in pajamas for 2/3 of the movie.


3. Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden in Fight Club
As of now I am so disgusted by Brad Pitt that I don't find him attractive at all, but since this is pre-Angelina I excuse this choice. Not only is Brad Pitt amazing in this movie, but his style and his body, my God his body!!, make him irresistable.


4. James Dean as Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause
He's a rebel, nothing gets much hotter than that.


5. Clice Owen as Larry in Closer
I had the hardest time deciding if Clive was hotter in Closer or in Sin City. I went with Closer because his hair was better and he is British in it. He's kind of an evil asshole and a perv, but he's hot nonetheless. That accent will get me any day. He's such a stud. All man.


6. Guy Pearce as Leonard in Memento
For years I thought Brad Pitt had the best jawline, until I saw Memento and was introduced to Guy Pearce. He was in LA Confidential before Memento, but he was nerdy and wasn't all tatted up the way he is in Memento. There are only two movies that have made me yell at the end of a movie the way I did at the end of Memento and those are The Usual Suspects and Requiem for a Dream.


7. Jake Gyllenhaal as Anthony Swofford in Jarhead
The plot to Jarhead was just plain stupid, but Jake was practically naked throughout the whole movie so I'm all for it. Jake's butt is always good with me.


8. Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean
I figured out that Johnny Depp is one of the hottest men on the planet when I saw Pirates. I don't know why I am so attracted to Johnny Depp is this movie because he is so clearly disgusting, but somehow I am and that is why Johnny Depp is one of the hottest men on the planet.


9. Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins
Buffed up Christian Bale. Enough said.


10. Eric Bana as Hector in Troy
I hated Troy with a passion, but my God Eric Bana is hot and he's in a skirt. I found Munich incredibly boring, but I kept watching in hopes of Eric Bana having his shirt off some more.

Last night my sister sent some more Vegas pictures and well, I have some bad news for my brother. His wife cheated on him...with me!



What is this picture? It looks like Jen and I are about to kiss. This is the most absurd picture. Why does it look like my hair is blowing in the wind? Jen looks like she is about to fall asleep and Nicole is in the background cheering us on. I thought I remembered everything that went on in Vegas, but apparently not. Sorry, Jefe. I didn't mean to. I hope you'll forgive me.
