6 Degrees of Separation

So last night Dean asked me if I saw that Charlie Sheen had sent his private jet to Arizona to pick up Brian Wilson & bring him to his house? NOOOOO, I hadn't seen this. Seems that I've introduced Dean to the greatness that is TMZ for all things celebrity related & of course they had a story about it. You can see it here.

I know you're wondering why I would care about this & a lot of you are probably asking who the heck is Brian Wilson. And no it's not that guy that was in that band a long time ago. The Monkey's I think. Anyway, it's not him. He's a baseball player. A really good one. Like, so good he's the Closer for the San Francisco Giants who happened to win the World Series last year. He's also a little strange, for a lack of a better way to say it.  Wait, who am I kidding, he's a lot strange. Back in the day (2001-2003) he pitched for LSU. That was during the time that Dean & I made a lot of road trips to the away games. One of those trips was to Tuscaloosa, AL. After one of the games several of us went out to dinner. Brian & his roommate, Aaron Hill (who also happens to play MLB for the Blue Jays) had dinner with us. I remember several things from this dinner. Brian was WEIRD!! He held his fork weird, it was like he was shoveling his food in. He ate fast & when he was finished he proclaimed "I've conquered my meal". Um yeh. Weird I tell you! He was nice though & pretty quiet. Another thing I remember about Brian was that he drove a Saturn. It was the 2 door cute little sporty one & it was black. I remember all this because I had the exact same car several years before that. I'm sure he's moved onto to something bigger, better & lots more expensive being that he's making like 7 million bucks this year.

He's a changed a lot. This was him when he was at LSU.

He looks a little different now.

This pic was from a couple of weeks ago when he was on George Lopez. The beard was jet black for awhile. 

Back to Charlie. He's interested in doing another Major League movie & he flew Brian in along with some other players to watch the original movie in his private theater. SOOOOO that means someone I had dinner with was inside Charlie Sheen's house! WOW! That's really cool to me! I just thought it was awesomeness when he was on Letterman! Yes, I know Charlie is a dirt bag, alcoholic, drug addict, prostitute hirer but for some reason I really like him. I only hope that I don't read on TMZ one day that he's dead.

Toodles!

Do You Have Styrofoam?

Yesterday was Administrative Professionals Day. It doesn't mean much but my job falls under that category. One of the guys brought me this, Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur.

I haven't tried it yet but it's Godiva so it must be good right? I love the gift bag!! I'll definitely be recycling it. Also, for the occasion my boss will take us out to lunch. One of the ladies that works with us is on vacation so when she gets back he'll plan something.

Speaking of recycling, it's Earth Day. I'm not a real "earthy" person. We recycle but that's about it. I have a big huge Expedition that guzzles gas like there's no tomorrow & I have a weird addiction to styrofoam cups! I think any good that we do with the recycling is null & void because of this! I hate to drink out of anything that isn't insulated. I'm sure there are lots of people that would like to tar & feather me but I REALLY wish all the fast food places would go back to styrofoam cups. That's one reason I love Sonic & Chick fil a!!!

This afternoon I was perusing TMZ. I LOVE TMZ. Anyway, of course there's stuff about Kate Gosselin. (Isn't there everyday??). She really bugs me. Here's the picture they had.

I like her hair much better now that she doesn't have that reverse mullet inverted bob thing going on but there was something disturbing in this picture. I HAVE THAT CARDIGAN/SWEATER THINGY she has on!!! There are two ways to look at this. 1. Kate Gosselin shops at Penney's or 2. I dress like a mother of 8. Either way you look at it, it's not good.

Toodles
