Bethenny Frankel

I can't stop watching Bethenny's shows!
First it was the Real Housewives of NYC, then Bethenny getting married and now Bethenny Ever after!

I don't know if you've ever watched but in Bethenny getting married she has a wedding planner named Shawn Rabideau and he is IDENTICAL to Tony Hale who plays Buster Bluth in Arrested Development. Too Funny!

Check this out:


WHO'S WHO?!?!?!

Real Sports, Day One

On Tuesday I had my first day of work. I was obviously terrified...and therefore only ate bananas (thanks for the tip, marg!). So anyways, I got there and did my first "host training" shift. It was super fun! I literally just walked people to their tables (although it was hard to learn the tables) and everyone was super friendly so it worked out well. Oh and it was cool because Matt Lashoff came in and he's like all cool these days since his true talent came out (view here) haha.

3 hours later.

i had a nice break with another girl who was training and just ate and tried to not fall asleep! And then set back in (this time in flats) for my "expo training."

So what the hell is expo...amiright? well, i learned! It just means I take the plates from the kitchen to the people at their tables. THIS WAS THE DEATH OF ME. I specifically did not want to be a server because I knew I was incapable. I cannot carry things...my arms were sore for days after (yes, they still hurt now!) and I have never been more happy of my decision to not serve and just host. thank god. seriously.

Long story short, I'm super excited about my summer and I think it'll be so much fun working there. I cannot wait. wooooo.

Hope you can all drop by and visit me sometime soon please!

next work day: Saturday. I have "barback training" and another "expo training"

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

In grade 7 I started at a new school. It was a middle school called EAST. It's literally all about social justice. Anyways, I remember the first thing I learned there was this quote about power corrupting. I had no  idea what that meant or why I was to learn that.

Now that I'm reading all this news on Ivory Coast about Gbagbo, all I can think of is that all power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely!

I started reading a book called Africa by Richard Dowden. It talked a lot about African leaders basically coming into power and how they often have trouble stepping down. For example, Gbagbo in Ivory Coast!

It's so hard for me to understand that someone who is (or was) in charge of a country can allow for their country to become so torn apart. I have trouble knowing that there are so many people dying in the Ivory Coast right now and others are just witnessing it, when really, it's so unnecessary! I think it's safe to say that Ouattara won the election. As Gbagbo, who ran the country for like 10 years, I would give up the thrown like a gentleman because obviously I would want the best for my country. How can a man who has been the head of a country for so long then let so many of his people die basically because he wont give up his power. It's ridiculous!  But then again, it's clearly a theme in Africa.

When I was in Africa, I know I spoke to a lot of the kids there and they'd tell me what they wanted to be when they grow up. Most of them wanted to have a good job so they could make a lot of money. It seems like money is important, which is kinda understandable...to a degree. I imagine that Gbagbo (and many other African leaders) wanted that too, so when they eventually got to the point where they had money (and power) in leading their country...they got used to it.

Gbagbo finally obtained that power and I'm sure he had great plans for his country but eventually it all became corrupt and now look at where things are going.

I read a couple articles today and one of them said that even if the political and military fights were to stop, the sexual harrassments, killings and lootings would probably escalate in communities across the country. Isn't that insane.

Ouattara has said that this will be over soon, so I'm hoping he is right! Things are becoming better but I think that there's still a bit to go.

Hangover II


I feel like I find stupid movies too funny. More and more I find myself only watching stupidly funny shows and movies. I need to get a life.

When I was little, I used to read a lot of gossip girl type books. My older cousin, Aaron, would tell me I read "meat-less" or "vegetarian" books. Apparently this is something that has stuck with me...and now transfered into movies I was as well.

damn.




p.s. this movie is identical to the first, just a new place and different dumb things happening. i wish i didn't want to watch it.
