He's Alive!

OK - after writing the previous post, I ended up buying the DVD to Made of Honor starring, of course, a certain Mr. Patrick Dempsey. Today, while checking out a new liquidation store, I saw this (pictured below) and just had to have it. It's so cheesy, it's hilarious. Have you ever seen a head of hair like that on a doll before? The doll (or action figure?) is based off of Dempsey's character in the movie, Enchanted.

I guess it's safe to say that, although he may not be at the very top of my list, Patrick Dempsey is alive and well, and has the best head of hair in Hollywood.

P.D. is dead to me

No - I'm not talking about P Diddy; P.D. stands for Patrick Dempsey. Don't get me wrong - I still think he is a very beautiful man and I love that he plays a doctor on TV (although I am no longer the Grey's Anatomy fan I used to be since they have put the focus on sex instead of medical traumas, but that's another story). It's just that Dempsey has fallen from the top of my "list," and has been replaced by Mr. Hugh Jackman. Here are the reasons why:

Not only is he a talented actor, but he sings. The man has a brilliant voice and is probably one of a handful of gorgeous straight men to star in musicals.



He dances



He's got a sense of humor and can be funny while singing and dancing. Plus, he looks great in a tux.



He's charming and a gentleman. OK, the next video is showing the chivalry of one of his characters (Leopold) who obviously is not real, but his dad once related a story about his chivalry at the tender age of 5 or 6 years old when he was running a race and his first "girlfriend" fell and he stopped to help her up. Anyway, it may not be real, but a girl can pretend, eh?



He looks good without a shirt. He's quite fit. He's in good enough shape to kick tuchas, but since he's a gentleman, he wouldn't unless absolutely necessary (or when playing wolverine).

And, although I could go on and on for quite a bit more, I will finish with he can ride a horse.

I know many a girl who is all excited about him being crowned People Magazine's Sexiest Man of the Year, and I admittedly did buy the periodical, however I was much more entertained by the December '08 issue of Cowboys and Indians. I highly recommend checking it out.

It's a quintessential moment for rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock!

You're out to dinner with your best buds and no one remembers whose turn it is to pick up the bill. Being the gracious persons you all are, everyone is offering to pick up the tab? How do you decide who pays? You could use the old standard, "Rock, Paper, Scissors," but when using that technique with people you know well, you will end up in a tie about 80% of the time. You need a higher number of possible outcomes, so try "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard Spock." This is not a new idea, but was made instantly popular by a show called The Big Bang Theory.



This is the perfect way to settle a dispute or just have fun. It's the new game that is sweeping the nation. Try it - you'll like it. However, if you pick Spock everytime, you are a total geek.

As some of you may know, I have a t-shirt and gifts shop on Cafepress, and if you can't use your blog to shamelessly promote your stuff, then what good is it, eh? So, if you wanna, you can check out shirts and stuff with the rules to Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.

Minor Celebrity Sighting

Today on my home from work, I had a few minutes to kill before catching my bus, so I popped into the downtown Barnes & Noble and caught sight of local pseudo-celebrity, Blayne Walsh, purchasing the latest issue of Vogue. It was obvious since returning to the Emerald City that he has resumed his unhealthy tanning habit, as he is a very dark, unnatural orange-brown color. You gotta lay off the fake-and-bake, Blayne, before you get a melanoma. Tanning is cancerlicious, which is not a good thing.
