heidilicious brought back the best present ever from toronto:

oh wait, it's this one...

no, really this is what's sitting on my desk right now:

loves it.

who freakin' cares???

i'm sick of reading and watching about anna nicole. i'm sorry her son daniel passed away, that is truly tragic. but, what's with howard stern and the other dude both claiming to be her newborn's baby-daddy? who freakin' cares why she married howard in the bahamas, supposedly to cover up the paternity father? there are much more important stories to be discussed (see blog below). get rid of tabloid grabbing anna and bring back reality show anna. at least THAT was entertaining.

attacked for talking, attacked for being

i came across the news article below in another blog. i usually have my daily dose of laughs from entertainment blogs, but today is different. there is nothing funny about a gay person being beat simply for talking. TALKING about gay marriage. it's sad that the suspect had so much anger and hate in his heart to get up, interrupt a conversation (that doesn't involve him), and resort to violence. and for what? his name in headlines? did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed and decided it's a decent day for some gay bashing. people talk about the great strides that have been made when it comes to ending discrimination and violence against gays and people of color. sadly, there is a reality that we're still walking over thin ice.

Debate over gay marriage turns violent
Tosa police seek suspect who beat two people at restaurant
By Janice Kayser
Sept. 25, 2006

A debate at a George Webb’s restaurant over the right of gays to get married turned violent Sunday after a 29-year-old Greenfield man beat a man and a woman, threw chairs in the restaurant and threatened to shoot someone, police said.

The incident occurred at 3:39 a.m. at the restaurant at 6108 W. Blue Mound Road

According to Wauwatosa police:

One of the victims, a 26-year-old Milwaukee woman, was sitting at the counter with a girlfriend when the two women started talking with a nearby man about the same-sex marriage amendment that will be on the November ballot.

Other customers started to join in the impromptu debate, which turned to a discussion on homosexuality. As the discussion became more heated, a 29-year-old Greenfield man moved from the corner of the restaurant, where he had been seated, to sit closer to the conversation. He started to argue with the group and became very angry, then punched the 26-year-old Milwaukee woman in the face, knocking her to the ground.

A 24-year-old Milwaukee man seated nearby stood up to defend the woman and was repeatedly punched in the face by the suspect. The fight continued throughout the restaurant, with the suspect yelling, throwing chairs at the victims, and punching the man and woman in the head. As he was leaving the restaurant, the suspect made a comment that he was going to shoot someone.

Believing he would return with a gun, restaurant employees quickly locked the doors. However, when another customer left the restaurant, the doors were briefly unlocked, and the suspect returned and again attacked the man. The suspect then fled in his car. Witnesses were able to get a license plate and vehicle description, which is how police determined the man’s identity.

When police arrived, they found both the man and woman bleeding with injuries to their heads and facial areas. Both declined to be taken to the hospital. Wauwatosa police are continuing to look for the suspect.

chocolate

okay, i'm going to stop talking about london for awhile. i've had a pretty good week back in the states, basically celebrating my friend's birthdays. seriously, everyone was born in september. angela, erin, jq, jeff, and my sister candy. all in the same week and a half span. i also hung out with michelle and alma last weekend, we saw last kiss with zach braff, rachel bilson and jacinda "real world: london" barrett. i would say the best part for me was the beginning - when snow patrol's "chocolate" played through the opening credits. i don't know what i was expecting with this movie, probably garden state part two. i think zach overacts and he should stick to comedy. rachel bilson was like summer doing rachel bilson, and jacinda was pretty to look at and that's about it. i liked casey affleck's storyline, as well as blythe danner and tom wilkinson's performances. i'm going to a screening of jackass number two on thursday and i can't wait. i almost pissed my pants with the first movie.

jeff and i got free tickets to see cirque du soleil's "delirium" at staples center sunday night. i've always wanted to see a cirque show. the performances, video images and overall presentation were all magnificent, but i fell asleep towards the end. i think it was really cold inside staples, and the enya-esque music just lulled me to dreamland. i woke up during the last song. i heard there's a cirque show in vegas with a beatles soundtrack. i'm so there, if i can afford it.

i saw the view with rosie o'donnell for the first time today. i watched her show a lot back in the day. she's still giving away stuff. i think elizabitch is scared of her. even though i think they should've replaced meredith with a gay man, i think rosie's doing a fine job.

two sessions left with cramus pierce. wish me luck.

i fkn heart my new jacket

obsessed with london much?

i see london (part deux)

i wish i was there now...

london is magic

it's my last night in london, and i'm really sad to go home. this trip has been amazing and i am in love with this city and the people. i haven't felt this way about another town outside of the los angeles area since my first time in san diego. and i moved there for college and lived there for three years, so that's quite telling. i was on the set of the new harry potter today, all i can say is wow. whether you're a fan or not it's truly a sight to behold. i can only describe it as ginormous. all the other sets i've visited before combined would only add up to about a quarter of the harry set. it is that huge. and the last few days with the hsm kids and disney reps have been fun too. i even got to meet the competition (aka other teen mag writers). i think i was the cast's favorite though hehe.

btw, the sanderson hotel is beautifully weird. i miss it already. i'm spending my last two days at the royal garden hotel, and it's a more conservative joint with a view of hyde park. i took a walk to notting hill yesterday, and had a spiritual awakening. my conclusion is that i need to spend more time here. a lot more time.

see you californians soon!

i see london (part one)
