As If You Needed Another Reason....

......to love Wawa.

Have you tried their nonfat yogurt in cups? It is SO good. It is creamy and not watery and doesn't leave you hungry like the Dannon Lite and Fit. It's so so good. There are a ton of flavors, too. My fave is the vanilla.

Calling All Kettles

I know that I may sound a little hypocritical, but where has A.T.S./Unusual been lately???

What my senior quote should've stated

Due to the release of Superbad (hilarious movie, definitely a “must see”), the Metro decided to pull together some movie quotes from teen movies. For my senior quote in my yearbook, I had some typical cheesy quote. I thought that I was pretty deep at the time since it was from a Smashing Pumpkins song. However, if I had seen Dazed & Confused I probably would’ve chosen this one: “If I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life, remind me to kill myself.” I love it. In reality, though, if I had submitted something like that, it probably would’ve been rejected, you know, with it being a Catholic school & all. To make matters worse, I was on the yearbook committee, editor of the senior section & it still probably wouldn’t have made it through. Oh, well. If you ask me today what it would’ve been, it’s that quote.

Attractive & Personalized Debt

I’m ashamed to admit this, but I can’t be the only person that feels this way. But, I have to admit that I love attractive credit cards. The sad part is that I think the credit card companies know it too, which is why they keep making such pretty little pieces of plastic. It’s awful because if I weren’t more of a financially prudent person, I’d be in a world of trouble.My love affair started when I was a junior in college & had to finally breakdown & apply for a credit card in order to get my first car. When I saw the opportunity to have a credit card with Monet’s Starry Night on it came across my mailbox, I could’ve cared less about establishing credit & more about finding the right wallet to accessorize my new card with. I’m not kidding. After that, I received a Providian offer in an array of 4 see-thru colors, one of those small gas cards that you wave past a detector, and so on. When I worked in retail, I would see all kinds of cool credit cards. However, there are some brands/stores that you would expect to be stylish & they aren’t. Like, David’s Bridal. You’d think that if they were promoting themselves to fulfill every little girl’s dream of her “big day” that it would be gorgeous. Nope, it’s just some plain blah card. The most recent card offer to come my way is the Discover Motiva card. It’s shiny, pretty & purple. Problem is, who the hell takes Discover anymore?I think credit cards are a love/hate relationship. It’s pretty simple – they offer unlimited acceptance. If you’ve had a crappy day, you open your mailbox & there it is waiting for you - - a credit card offer that’s just beckoning to you. Some people feel as though shopping cheers them up on a crappy day; but I say “what’s the point in shopping for something nice if you don’t have anything nice to pull out of your wallet?”There are exceptions to this, of course. Lately, my student loan website has tried to personalize their website by making you pick some cheesy image, such as a butterfly, when you login. It’s supposed to personalize your account. For some odd reason, when you have to pay it back, this type of personalization just doesn’t work for me.

My Tire Be Poppin

Oh, the best laid plans... On Monday night, I mapped out my schedule for a productive Tuesday. I had it figured out down to the minute, all starting at 8:00 a.m. But, the pothole on 322 in Downingtown had other plans. I was driving to the train station, like I have been doing every morning since I moved home one month ago. And I was in a little bit of a rush, like I have been every morning since I was born. Anyway, I was at a red light waiting to turn right. The turn should be a wide one, as there is quite a lot of space between the white line boundary and the grass - also, there is a pretty big pothole on the edge of the road. But, my anxiousness got the best of me, and I thought in my head, "Fuck the pothole - I'm in a rush."

Cut to me on the side of the road waiting for my dad to come help me. Sidenote: Great thing about the suburbs is all the people nice enough to stop during morning rush hour to offer help. Anyway, my dad had quite a difficult time loosening the spare from its metal fastener in my trunk. Turns out some stray beer caps had fallen through the cracks and rusted the tire and whatever holds it down. Icing on the cake was that my spare was also pretty flat, but I didn't really have any other options.

I got to work late and didn't get as much done as I had hoped. But, my mom was my shining star and got my tire fixed before I got home. What will I do without her (in five days!!!)?

Ouch. Flying Gravel.

Last night, I was driving my friends home from a lovely crusteacean meal. Enjoying the summer air, we had the windows down. We were driving down 19th Street and all of a sudden, I felt a raining of stones on my face and neck.

It hurt. It really hurt.

I turned to see some punk *ss kids cheering with joy. These *ssholes had thrown landscaping stones (there was evidence in my car) through the window, attacking me and my passengers. Unreal.

I'm a Big Girl Now

I am overly proud of myself for putting together my new dresser from Target. Seriously no one in my family thought I would be able to do it. After a small bump in the road (I put a piece on backwards, I pouted for 10 minutes, and my dad fixed it for me), I was left with a beautifully crafted oak-painted dresser. I just ordered a nightstand, which will be my second conquest. Wish me luck - not that I need it.

(Rittenhouse rowdiness begins Labor Day!)

Only in America.

My sis sent me this gem:

And you thought season three was bad...

It's become an obsession. No matter HOW BAD The OC gets, I have this compulsion to finish the entire series on Netflix. Season Three wasn't all that good... but at least Marisa was alive. Season Four has completely devolved into bad script, redonkulous story lines, and hijinks. It's like all the writers quit, or played a joke on the actors. I am not even finished yet, and so far these things have happened:

• Ryan was a cagefighter.
• Summer became a hippie and got kicked out of school.
• Ryan dates TAYLOR TOWNSEND (whose image they completely revamped)
• Ryan and Taylor fell off a ladder (hijinx!) and walked around an alterna-OC universe. Barf.
• Taylor married and divorced a french man.
• Ryan wrote a poem. God.
• Seth and Summer got engaged. They are 18 fuckers!
• Julie runs a prostitution ring.
• Ryan's supposedly white trash a-hole dad comes. He's rich, classy and nice, suddenly.
• Summer's new friend Che helps Seth find his animus.
• Kirsten is preggers.

Let's repeat: Ryan was a cagefighter. This is so dumb. Please let it be over soon.

Oh LANDlooord...

As you may have heard, I have recurring issues with my apartment. (After a brief summer hiatus, the squirrels are back. Sigh.) The latest issues is that in a corner of my ceiling, where the landlord once patched up the ceiling because I thought the squirlles had scratched through, I now have three mushrooms growing.

Mushrooms. Growing out of my ceiling. I'm so tired.

The case of the dissappearing freckle.

Someone call Nancy Drew- I've got a job for her! My freckle has gone missing.

This is gross, but last week I got a lil' pimple under a freckle that I've had above and to the left of my top lip a la Cindy Crawford (but more subtle) for my whole life. As these things go, I picked the zit, of course, turning it into more of a cut. Then I picked the little scab. (I have issues, I know.) And my freckle has never been seen since.

Doesn't pigment run a little deeper than just pimple deep? I am sad.

I want to work here.

So, Apple told its ad agency to come up with a cool video to play on i-Pods (or something like that) and the agency has been unsuccessful. Then THIS little NY agency did this video all in one take. It is amazing and I want to work there... I'm not alone, because apparantly they've gotten 1,500 resumes since releasing the video:

The Essential Fall '07 Wardrobe Accessory

As A.T.S. recently wrote about, acquiring a DUI is the hip thing to do if you're part of the young Hollywood crowd. And, for all of you wannabe starlets, if you want to get in on the action, you'd better do it soon. This is becoming so passe that the trend is starting to die a slow & painful death. Similar to a victim in a DUI accident (ugh, that's soo not hot). I'll put in language that you'll understand. DUI's are becoming like, Ugg boots. There. So anyway, once you acquire DUI cool status, the next thing that you need is an alcohol monitoring bracelet.
Once again, LiLo was the first to start the trend & others are beginning to follow it. You can dress it up or down. Eve was recently spotted sporting one while wearing a tight, black leathery looking miniskirt. Classy.

Schmuck of the Week

I saw this dumbass on the Today show last week & he was so pathetic. I'm still trying to decide if he's a complete a--hole or if this is just because he's from Texas. His story is below:
Texas Man, LeRoy Greer, Sues 1-800-Flowers for Revealing His Affair
Atlanta, Ga. 8/13/2007 4:41 PM GMT (FINDITT) LeRoy Greer just wanted to send flowers to his girlfriend. Sounds simple enough but after Greer arranged for a bouquet to be sent courtesy of 1-800-flowers the simple task became a major headache for the car salesman.
As it turned out Greer was married and his wife wasn’t the one receiving the flowers, just the thank you card from 1-800-flowers for purchasing the flora.
While Greer was already in the process of divorcing his wife the 1-800-flowers incident didn’t help his standing any and now his wife is all the more eager to end their union. Oh and now that she is aware of the extramarital affair she wants more money as well.
Greer, upset that the company delivered a thank you note for the purchase, is now suing the floral company. Greer had specifically noted on his order that he did not want any cards or information sent to the house he shared with his wife. He now blames the company of falling short of delivering the flowers in a discreet manner, which just so happened to cause his wife to flip out.
Now Greer, a Texas resident, has asked for $1 million from the florist who made the mistake but as of yet there has been no pay off.

Am I the only girl that wants to see this movie? It looks hilarious! Plus, it has Patton Oswalt in it - one of the top 10 comics according to WTFP's blog :).

Good summer read

And, I do mean "summer read". With 500+ pages, it's going to take you the remainder of the summer to finish this book. It took me close to a month to finish it. If you're like me & you love the Golden Era of Hollywood, then you'll love this book. No only does the author, William Mann, de-mystify the legendary Katharine Hepburn, but he also "outs" a few other silver screen golden boys & girls. I'm not going to give away any secrets here, you'll just have to read the book & find out yourself.
Delicious :).

The newest bridal trend.

Right this mo, my sis and her fiancee are on their Moon-Honey. No, I am not dyslexic. Moon-Honey is the new term (coined by yours truly) for the special bride and groom who don't have the time, money, or flexibility to go on a genuine Honeymoon. Because sis o' mine will be starting a new job right at the time of her wedding, she can only take a few days off to head to our beach house, which, while awesome, is not the MOST romantic getaway. So instead, she and her groom are camping, going to hot springs and getting massages... two months before the BIG DAY.

I think it's pretty cool, don't you?

Then she can save up for her Babynoon.

Afternoon Delight

Morning coffee is great
Served fresh and steaming hot
But I don't know where I'd be
Without my afternoon pot

It's not everyday
It's not a constant need
But when I hit a wall
To the silver vat I concede

Three French vanilla creams
And four packets of sugar
Mix with my java
To create a perfect flavor

I feel rejuvenated
As soon as it touches my lips
Without my little helper
I get as salty as a bag of chips

So I raise my mug
And loudly proclaim
My addiction to legal stimulants
Will never bring me shame

Forever Your Fan

While browsing the racks at an overpriced boutique last week, I was pleasantly surprised to hear Paula Abdul's "Forever Your Girl" coming from the speakers. I know she still occasionally pops up on the FM, but it's usually "Opposites Attract" or "Cold Hearted Snake." Don't get me wrong - I used to jam out to these hits as well. But, I was excited to hear on old favorite that doesn't get much play anymore. I used to love Paula. I had all her tapes and a poster of her on my door, I wore tight shirts with ruffled sleeves, I went through a paperboy hat phase with her, and I really thought that her and Emilio would last forever.

As we all know, she and Estevez broke up, she was involved in some lawsuit with her record label, she tried unsuccessfully to adapt her music to the emerging hip hop sound, her fans eventually started wearing flannel and playing in the mud, she reemerged on the hit "American Idol," and now has a reality show that lets people get up close and personal with her craziness. But, I'll never forget dancing in my mirror to "Forever Your Girl."

Bean Fiesta!

Welcome back Beano! Your smiling face brightens this dreary day. Today's agenda: no work and all play. Starting at 11:00 a.m. And, lunch in the kitch.

Wonderfully Wicked

On this rainy Sunday, my mom, my sis, and I went to see Wicked at the Academy of Music. I've seen it before, but I think I liked it even better the second time around. That could be due to the pack of peanut M&Ms my mom snuck in for me. She's a rebel like that. I highly recommend this musical. Last year, popsie was able to get tickets through a lottery before the show started. Seats may not be great, but it's better than nothing. And they're cheap. I didn't have to worry about the lottery, as my mother bought our tix back in '06.

Ruby.

I don't know if ya'll know this, but I have a cat named Ruby. Next month she will be one tiny year old, and we will have to have a party.

Strengths:

• she smells like a baby
• at night, she likes to push her forehead against mine really hard and get aggressively cuddly
• her best friend (besides me) is a pink elephant made of feathers. I think they make out when I leave the apt
• she comes running for the door when i get home from work

Weaknesses:

• in the space of a month, she went from a dainty kitten to a tub o' kitty lard that can't jump
• she once flooded the three apartments below mine
• she has issues with dreadlocks in a certain area of her body (her tushy)

Ruby is nice, fun, and a girl, and not a dog. And she is pretty as a princess. I love her.

Gastrobypass

so unpretty.

One-Eyed Wonder Cat

From So Unpretty's Best Friend, Smedelicious of smedelicious.blogspot.com:
I love Buddha because he is a good spooner/spoon-ee. I hate him because he licks my head in the middle of the night in a ploy to steal my pillow.

Strengths:
-Straightforward and vocal about his needs.
-Loving, caring, knows when I need a head rub (when he butts me in the head with his head)
-Makes me laugh

Weaknesses:
-Mood swings, random acts of terror
-Long hair = clumps = strange fur bunnies throughout my apartment
-Terrible breath

Note from the Editor: We love handicapped kitties.

Frank is the man...well, sort of.

Submitted by MoCo:
[My cat, Frank.]Sometimes he goes by Starla.
He is a homosexual black cat that likes the color pink and cuddling with boy cats and female humans.
His favorite toys are makeup brushes and sponges.
Before he was neutered his favorite past time was humping a stuffed dog that wore a tie. (He likes men on a career path) He now has a boyfriend named J.J. (Jesus Junior) who he now lives with in Bensalem. (J.J. is a very handsome male cat) Frank will eat any kind of food in the universe and will often times grab it off your plate.
He has a dog complex. (The first two times I wrote that I typed "god") He pretends to be a dog and even goes on walks with the Huskie he now lives with.

Basically. I love the little bastard. My ex-ex-ex boyfriend rescued him from a golf course Summer of 2005.
He's my pride and joy.
And I'm the mother who abandoned him. :(

Note from the Editor: thanks for submitting MoCo. This cat should be on Maury Povich.

I Prefer Cats, But.....

This is Jake. He has changed my mind about doggs because I usually do not like them. I know I am un-American and in the minority with this.

Jake is a great dog. He eats cheese and steak. He shares a bed with humans, but somehow knows how to make room for your feet and legs. He runs at an angle and has chicken legs. I really like him, probably because he doesn't smell at all.

Although he did almost bite my boyfriend once and I screamed like you couldn't believe.

This post was written by a six-year-old. Kidding. A twenty-six year old in need of coffee.

Homie for Life

meet Homer (aka Homeslice, Homie, Homeburger Helper, Homeski, Homo).

he's a cancer who likes to snuggle and bite your face.

sometimes he gets a little too out of control. he likes to sniff balls too.

we love you homie!

I Know, I Know. I Need Help.

why?

because i think i am attracted to the CGI bee with the spanish accent in the Nasonex allergy commercials.

he just sounds so sexy...i think its antonio banderas.

Meet Mercury

Meet Mercury Ciappa-Rankin.

He is an adorable lil' chap.

He's a rescue so he's also very grateful.

He likes to play and drive his mommy crazy.

This pic is so sweet it could give you a tooth ache.

True Life: Beach Chickens

Little kid to SIC lifeguard:

Excuse me, sir. Will you help me catch one of these here beach chickens? (pause) And if I catch one, can I keep em?

Zippo

Zippo is an amazing person, I mean dog. He is a ball of energy and love who brightens everyone's day. When his hair grows out, he resembles a canine Albert Einstein. When he gets a cut, he looks like a billy goat. Hence his nicknames, Al and Billy. Others include Zip, Zippy, Zippidy Do Da, Little Shit, Boo, Baby Boo, Zipper and Boo Bear. I love the way he cocks his head to the side when I talk to him as though he is really interested and concerned about what I have to say.

Strength: His unwavering support of anything I choose to do in my life.

Weakness: When he feels like no one is paying attention to him, he finds something (usually a shoe) and brings it over to show me and then runs around with it until I finally give him food to replace it with. While I have listed this as a weakness, I still love it.

The Bitch Is Back

That's right ladies (and questionables). After receiving a threat from Unusual/A.T.S., I'm back. I've taken a bit of a hiatus, but after some catch-up post reading, I think I can pick up right where I left off. Here are some updates on my life in the last month:

I moved out of piss-ridden apartment in the Yunk.

Moved back to Dub C with the rents - anxiously awaiting Center City lease to begin September 1.

One of my best friends from visited from Hawaii. I miss him already.

I saw Incubus in concert. They were good, but I decided I didn't enjoy the venue. $20 parking + no port-o's = unpretty (all over my feet).

The night before the Inc concert my mom said, "Don't forget your tickets to The Incubators."

I've realized that getting hit in the noggin with a stray ball during a baseball game is one of my greatest fears in life. However, I survived a Phillies game chock-full of foul balls and home runs.

Funny convo while watching some players warm up - Me (sporting a kick-ass RyHo tee): Oh! Is that Ryan Howard?! A.T.S.: No, that's not him. (Pause) And just an FYI, Ryan Howard is black.

I have been pondering whether I am now too old for the OD in SIC.

My new favorite thing to ask people is, "What would your baseball song be?" a.k.a. the song played when a batter walks out onto the field.

I proved to A.T.S., with some help from Bean, that "You Can Call Me Al" will never go out of style. Great way to ring in the New Year.

Alg, I do enjoy VS undergarments, but I also find that Gap pulls through every now and again. Ever tried?

A.T.S., While I love and adore my Zip, I wouldn't say that he comes before my sister. You're disturbed.

I am missing Beano this week. I will be glad when people stop going on vaca and everyone is together again.

That's all. For now...

Sometimes You Just Gotta Sing to a Hound Dog

i watched a documentary on elvis presley on whyy and learned something that i would like to share with you. its one of those things that as soon as i saw it, i knew i was going to hang on to it for the rest of my life.

no, it wasnt how to sing or thrust your hips or make it in the music biz. it was a life lesson derived from pure happenstance.

basically, its just an example of swallowing your pride and realizing sometimes you just gotta do what you've gotta do. in his up and coming years and immediately after an appearance on the milton berle show, elvis received a lot of ridicule from critics. they said that he couldnt sing and that his dancing was sinful and influencing teen delinquency. he was overwhelmed with negative press and backed into a corner, forced to defend his singing and performing style. about two weeks later he was scheduled to appear on the steve allen show. they were thisclose to canceling him because they didnt like the controversy surrounding the future legend. however, the producers agreed to let him perform on the show provided that he wear a tuxedo instead of his usual sexy and cool attire and sing on stage with a real live hound dog, who would also be wearing a tux and top hat. completely humiliating, right?

well, he wasnt happy about it, but he did it. and you know what, its actually a great clip. because even though the idea was completely ridiculous and humiliating, you never really see it that way when he performed. its because of the way he handled it. he serenaded that hound dog, grabbed it by its droopy jowls, took it over the top and the crowd loved it. in doing so, he completely owned the moment and no one who watched it would have thought any different.

he went on to win three grammy awards, be inducted into four different music hall of fames and his face has been on a postage stamp.

Smell My Finger

they were passing out samples of Armani's new perfume, "Diamonds" at Beyonce's concert Friday night and i think it smells dee-lightful. Beyonce is the spokeswoman for it. here is the cutesy monroe tribute.

1.7 oz is $49.50.

So Unpretty Pet Appreciation Week

this week, and for no other reason than i feel like it, is the first ever so unpretty pet appreciation week. send me your pics of your pussies and your pooches and i promise to post them. also include why you love your pet and give me at least one strength and one weakness.

of course, the First Lady of Pet Week is my girl, Sadie...a dog so great that even Beatle, Paul McCartney wrote a song about her called, "Sexy Sadie".

she is a cancer who loves the indoors. her favorite food is coffee with extra cream. she loves to cuddle and still has her puppy breath. her favorite actor is a tie between snoopy and jake gyllenhaal.

Rove Says Bush Is So Unpretty

Bush's deputy chief of staff indian, Karl Rove, resigns. rumor has it he will retire to spend more time with his family on their farm where he can shovel some real shit.

Welcome Back Mrs. Roberts

these chips are probably responsible for at least ten pounds of unwanted body fat.

my fave flaves: philly cheesesteak and jalapeno.

Nothing Gets By Me

i noticed tonight while watching an old navy commercial something very odd. so, we all know that the same company owns GAP, Banana Republic and Old Navy, right? well, i see GAP commercials all the time...i see Old Navy commercials all the time...but hey, i don't think i have EVER seen a Banana commercial. wtf?

the only thing more troubling than this realization, is the other realization caused by acknowledging this realization: that i have an abundance of time to realize this.

oh, whoa is so unpretty.

So Unpretty Prefers Blondes

"I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do. Millions of people live their entire lives without finding themselves. But it is something I must do." -Marilyn Monroe

this past sunday marked 45 years since Marilyn Monroe died. Her death was ruled as an overdose of sleeping pills. Questions remain about the circumstances and timeline of the housekeeper's discovery of Monroe's body. Also, some conspiracy theories involve John and Robert Kennedy. The official cause of her death was "probable suicide".

although most times the antics of her personal life overshadowed her acting career, there are many monroe films you definitely need to rent:

1. Bus Stop
2. The Misfits
3. Some Like It Hot
4. The Seven Year Itch
5. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

"Foundations" By Kate Nash

warning: you will become immediately addicted to this song. however, it is pseudo depressing, but still VERY GOOD.

Creepiest/Disturbing Movie Quote EVER.

this is from "American Psycho", when Patrick Bateman (played by the hunky Christian Bale) leaves a voice mail message for his attorney when he thinks that he is finally going to be caught by the police for being a murderous mad man:

"Harold, it's Bateman, Patrick Bateman. You're my lawyer so I think you should know: I've killed a lot of people. Some girls in the apartment uptown uh, some homeless people maybe 5 or 10 um an NYU girl I met in Central Park. I left her in a parking lot behind some donut shop. I killed Bethany, my old girlfriend, with a nail gun, and some man uh some old faggot with a dog last week. I killed another girl with a chainsaw, I had to, she almost got away and uh someone else there I can't remember maybe a model, but she's dead too. And Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen. I don't want to leave anything out here. I guess I've killed maybe 20 people, maybe 40. I have tapes of a lot of it, uh some of the girls have seen the tapes. I even, um... I ate some of their brains, and I tried to cook a little. Tonight I, uh, I just had to kill a LOT of people. And I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it this time. I guess I'll uh, I mean, ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh, I mean I guess I'm a pretty sick guy. So, if you get back tomorrow, meet me at Harry's Bar, so you know, keep your eyes open."

holy shit.

Things I Noticed About Myself Today

i thought that i liked to sleep without socks, however i discovered today that i really like to sleep with my socks half off of my feet. its really comfortable.

washing my hands before i eat makes my whole body feel clean. i don't know why; its weird, but true.

i love old fashioned hairstyles and hope one day i have a reason to get one for something special. like going to the phillie's game.

i think i love my dog more than my little brother.

(just kidding about that last one...sort of.)

Hopefully, this will be another great summer tv show

I just saw a commercial for this show & it looks great. It's about the beginnings of the CIA and has Michael Keaton, Chris O'Donnell (does he ever age?) & Alfred Molina. I really love spy stuff. Also, I really like Michael Keaton & I'm kinda sad that he's not making movies for the big screen & has to resort to a basic cable series, but so be it. He's a great actor. The show has the same theme as the Good Shepherd, but the true test as to whether or not it's better than the movie, is if the show doesn't put me to sleep. So, while The Simpsons are in repeats, check this out on Sunday nights @ 8 on TNT.

Calling all you designers. JMoney- that means you.

Waaay back in the day, I was an inexperienced 22 year old proofreader at an ad agency. Imagine my confusion when I came across a paragraph of nonsense that began Lorem ipsum dolor... I tried to proofread the shit out of that until someone explained that greeking was just a placeholder for copy. Doi.

Anyway, here's a fun new alternative: Loripscream. Greeking in crazy flavors of ice cream!
