My obsession with women in their 30s (or around there) continues.

"Can we get a boob take, please?"-Kevin Bright

Being an extra today was more exhausting than being on any crew I've been on. As a favor to a friend, I was at today's shoot for the Kevin Bright class; the episode takes place in a club, so I had to dress in club attire and dance to no music. I'm so tired. But I woke up tired, and this is my third shoot in as many days, and Molly and I walked a lot last night...still, though. Tiring.

Thursday's shoot was The Dish, an entertainment update show that shoots in the studio. I'm technical director (TD) so I get to sit behind the switcher and push buttons. We danced while we were putting up the set. People told me I look cute. Gotta love the American Apparel dress that you can wear 16 (or something) different ways.

Yesterday was a promo shoot for the EVVYs and I did camera and then switched to audio. Meaning I held the boom pole. The boom pole and I are becoming good friends. (That's what she said?)

And tomorrow is the shoot for Awkward Moments, the podcast I'm an executive producer (EP) for. Last week I did audio as well. And help put the millions of Post-Its up in Jenn's room.

Time for coffee!

I want it all

Today was "things Heather wants but can't afford" day. After I came home from my shoot, Allison and I took refuge in Molly's room (the construction workers were making a mess of the apartment) and looked at the Tiffany's website.

This is the engagement ring I want (set in platinum, 2.5 carat):
I love the blue box everything comes in and I found a picture of blue box cookies someone made:There are also a lot of really cute charms. A shoe, an Eiffel Tower, the blue box, a cupcake, a cupcake made of stones...they need to make (me) an ice cream cone. :)

Molly and I went to the Prudential Center and the Cambridgeside Galleria and looked in Tiffany's and Coach...neither of which either of us can afford.

LOOK HOW CUTE THESE ARE!

And bags!



Gahh.


So we went to Old Navy and I spent $60 on 2 pairs of flip flops, 3 pairs of cute underwear, one long sleeve shirt, 5 t-shirts, and 2 tank tops.


On another note, the latest mouse ate through our oven mitt.

Good job, Beacon.

So City Council President Mike Ross wants to require local colleges to help the city figure out if more than four students are living in apartment, because it seems that since the city passed its five-students-and-you're-out regulation, not a single student swarm has been broken up, since ISD can't legally tell who's a student and who isn't.

Paul Flannery passes along word that the student paper at Emerson editorialized that this is just the sort of thing Hitler would have done:

Suppose some Boston city councilor proposed to ban more than four gay people from living together, claiming that such large gatherings of gays was a public nuisance. Or imagine if a councilor proposed such a Gestapo-like imposition on the city's Jews, or such a nouveau-Jim-Crow decree on Boston's blacks. ...

If the council president is serious about his cap on coed cohabitation, history provides a number of examples from effective tyrants. For instance, forget forcing colleges to report off-campus students' addresses. Hitler had Warsaw's Jews wear armbands for easy identification by the SS. Tattoos were effective, too.

Yeah, that's just what the son of a man who survived ten Nazi concentration camps while the rest of his family was wiped out would do. But, hey, Emerson teaches kids how to be DJs on indie FM stations, not how to do research or make rational arguments.

Good job, Berkeley Beacon! Comparing people to Hitler always goes well.

A Double Shot at Love
This show ended already, and I was NOT happy with the finale, but it was still addicting and the reunion was hilarious.

Real World: Brooklyn
Classic.

I Love Money 2
"This is I Love Money, not I Love Love!" Buckwild and Saaphyri are two of my favorite reality personalities.

Rock of Love Bus
I want to know who the hell is the one who comes up with the challenges for this show.

The Real Housewives of New York City, Season 2
The unmarried brunette with a dog and redheaded Jew are my faves. There's also a countess who insists on being called a countess and a couple who named one of their children Francois. They think he is a genius.

The Real Housewives of Orange County
Season 4 just ended. Molly and I loved/hated the same women and yelled at the TV a lot. GRETCHEN, WE LOVE YOU.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta
They almost got into an actual fight (physical, not just an argument) at the reunion. Also: "Like, Kim, what's two plus two? Four. Spell cat. K-A-T." True gem right there.

We also record Top Chef and Tool Academy but I don't really watch them.

Yes, I love (bad) reality television. But the editing is commendable and I find bad things to be good. (Campy? Wicked. And not ashamed.)

Also:

Dollhouse
Bear with me. There have only been a few episodes, and the world is better when Eliza Dushku is wearing leather pants.

The L Word
...yay! (Although I think Helena is on the website's banner twice...hm. Bring back Carmen!)

Lost
I'M ONLY HALFWAY THROUGH SEASON ONE, SO DON'T TELL ME ANYTHING.


This will always be my favorite, though.

I gave up baked goods for Lent and now all I want is a cupcake. :(



(I found that picture on Google. Unfortunately. If anyone wants to make me Hello Kitty cupcakes for Easter, I will be eternally grateful.)

Gus, ever seen a cat cat?

I wonder if Cinderella's mice would write papers for her.
