The Power of Three!

My not-so-private obsession
Project Runway's back! Season 6 is in its second week and I lurve it 5000. I'll spare you the gushing and the Tim Gunn glory. However, I will say this: The Lifetime channel is a little too jazzed to have Project Runway on its lineup. As a co-worker of mine observed, "All I see on the their schedule anyway is 'The Nanny,' 'The Nanny,' 'The Nanny,' 'Army Wives,' and a movie shot in Canada about a battered woman whose baby is stolen from her."

Lastly, I hate the new show PR has created just for the models. Please, don't give them anymore attention than they already receive on a daily basis. I hate to say it, but Project Runway may have jumped the shark on that one. Le sigh, but I still love it.

My best friend: 409-751-31

Since 2006 or '07, I've been receiving phone calls from the same three phone numbers. I'll share them so we all know what's going on:

• 1-800-503-8622 (http://net.nopin.us/fAQ.aspx)
  
• 409-751-31
• 502-409-75131

Now, I know what you're thinking. "Priscilla, those last two shouldn't even be phone numbers." Trust me, I know. And each time they've called over the years, they've never left a message and the very few times I've answered, I was yelled at with a foreign "Hello!!!??" to keep me on the phone for as long as possible. Do you have weird numbers that continue to call you even though you don't answer? Just me? Oh.

Welcome home

Behold our new comforter set we'll be buying shortly. It's the closest color scheme we could get to sophisticated ice cream. I think we accomplished something great here. Truly s'cream-tastic, indeed. We begin moving into an apartment this weekend. I've come to realize that 55 percent of my belongings are crochet-related. Will post pictures once the dust has settled. Yes, we have a door this time. And a fourth wall. And a private bathroom. And we don't have a roommate sleeping in the dining room! What a dream!

P.S. Did you guys watch my gift to you last Friday?! Yeah, you're welcome.

Happy Friday

I'm so bad at Hallowe'en costumes

Every year, I go into sweatpants mode the day of or the week of Hallowe'en. This is who I was last year:
Yes, exactly. "Who is that?" you're wondering. It's "Janine" from Hot Fuzz. The whole costume was <$20 at Home Depot. Score. The only trouble with my costumes is that I never choose characters and personalities that people immediately can identify. I've always wanted to be these guys for Hallowe'en. Martin Short as SNL's "Ed Grimley."

William Sanderson as "J.F. Sebastian" from Blade Runner. I read that the jacket he wore in that movie (not pictured) was being sold in an online auction. Bidding starts at $8,000.

So, here are some options for this Hallowe'en 2009:

The Joker's nurse costume from The Dark Knight. The dress is being auctioned off on eBay for 30 bucks. And it's a regular, plain white dress; Heath didn't actually wear it or anything. 'Kay.

Jim Carrey as the title character in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, as pictured above.

Are you weird like me and thinking ahead?

Oh, god, fine

I wanted to scan my latest postcards received from Germany, The Netherlands, and China. I tried, but the scanner is giving me nightmares with its incapability to scan a smaller-than-normal postcard from Guang-Dong. I can't read Chinese characters, so I guess I'll have to learn.

Not really much is going on. We're looking at another apartment this week/end. There's lots of different comments I could make about the whole situation.

The X's mean their done. I have another idea from the new Alice in Wonderland vomit party Tim Burton's throwing. They're just these horizontal black-and-white-striped fingerless hand things.

I bought this yesterday, something I've wanted for a very long time and hopefully I can hang it up in my future apartment.
He's an "underground" hip-hop artist. This is painted on a vinyl record. I like it. You don't have to. Hahah

It's worth 41 million doll hairs...

Is This Thing On?

Here's a mass of images, things, and people that are running through my mind in terms of Fall crap to make for TheMustStash.


There's actually a ton more that are on a huge growing list of mine, but really, I don't have another Google image search in me tonight. August is going to be a busy month. And so will September and October. I'm hoping to keep my wits about me and resist the urge to scour the Custom Requests nightmare on Etsy. I always hate my final product and I always doubt that the buyer actually likes the final product anyway. Crazy.

Uh, also check out this Hong Kong-based Etsy store called Chic Sin Design. This is all I'll say: bea bag chair that looks like a sleeping grizzly bear. Done.

God, You're So Creepy

Commercials recently have crossed the threshold of "Wow, that's kinda weird and uncomfortable," to "God, that's so creepy." Here are the two that have been the most unforgivable.

1. Tamara Hope in the Palm Pre commercials
"I was walking in the park. After lunch. When I saw this woman juggling..." Yeah, right, we know you don't go out into the daylight. Your eyebrows, lips, hair, and skin are all the same color. If you did go out, it'd be with a black umbrella, long sleeves, and long pants, listening to the soundtrack to WoW. And you have a jewel-encrusted iPhone. Don't lie. I'm not the only one that feels this way:

• Assigning Blame for that Weird Palm Pre Commercial (PC World)
• New Palm Pre TV Ad is Quiet. Too Quiet (PreCentral.net)
• Some random girl's Twitter account posting thing tweet puke
  

2. Billy Mays' pitches. STILL
But dammit if my world doesn't shimmer just the tiniest when I see him sell me OrangeGlo. RIP, Billy!
