Still puppy obsessed

Are you kidding me with this face? I just recently discovered yet another adorable hybrid puppy: the Chug (half Chihuahua, half Pug). If I'm not careful, I might end up like this crazy dog obsessed socialite!

Why Woman Think They Like Pink

Okay okay, so my blogs are infrequent. But when I do make time to blog...dammit, I'll hit you with a couple. So deal with it. Danke.

So, I just came across this article I found quite intriguing. There is a study that claims there is a biological reason why women like "pink" and men gravitate more towards blue. This didn't sound entirely scientific so I read further. Here is the article.

Apparently, when women and men were shown a series of colored shapes and asked which they preferred, then men chose shades that were on the blue spectrum, and the women were drawn towards the "pinker" end of the spectrum. But this begs the question, are we shaped to prefer these colors by society? If a guy says his favorite color is "pink"...well, he is deemed a huge woosy and playing for the other team essentially.

The article goes on to say that as a whole, there is a universal preference towards blue for both sexes, but in addition, women like red as well. So, they deduce that red and blue are a combination of a woman's preference in colors...thus...purples and pinks. I dunno, London....you Brits are crazy with these studies!

My favorite line in the article is "For men, thinking about colours was less important because as hunters they just needed to spot something dark and shoot it..." Hehe.

Designer Puppies

So I recently discovered an adorable breed of puppy: the Chiweenie! It's a hybrid of a Chihuahua and a Dachshund and is JUST the CUTEST!! I looooove it. I have been puppy crazy for just about 5 years now. I must get a little poopy soon so I do not borrow someone else's poopy and "conveniently" forget to give it back.

Do I get a Chiweenie, or a Puggle, or a King Charles Cavalier or a Klee Kai? Such a hard decision!!

Settle down Sam-whore-a!

I was relieved to find that it was Richie Sambora, not my beloved Jon, who was admitted to rehab.

What an idiot. They were reviving MTV's Unplugged and he had to go and ruin it all by getting tossed beforehand. My class act Jon would never do such a thing of course. But Richie...geez, homeboy needs to get a grip. He is just going downhill by the second. He had Heather Locklear, then downgraded to Denise Richards, and now apparently is having a love affair with whiskey. Poor guy. Hopefully he'll get out of rehab in time to go out on tour so I can see my boyfriend. Mmmm, yummy.

What happens when you use the "F" word...

Apparently you can say "Fuck fuck fuck" to your hearts content on the set of Grey's Anatomy. But if you use the OTHER "F" word (which shall not be named...but I'll give you a hint...it rhymes with Saget)...well, then, you get the axe. Yup, Isaiah Washington is outskies. And to be honest...I don't really care. I like Grey's and all, but Christina is way more interesting then stupid stupid Burke.

Do I think he should have been fired though for saying that? Well, that's up for debate. The man may never work in Hollywood again. Maybe if he went to homophobic rehab they would let him return?

I remember reading something from a blog that said the ultimate payback would be if Isaiah Washingon had to play a gay man on the show. That would be quite interesting.

Needless to say, that trophy is the only love he'll be getting for a while.

Lovin Lipstick Jungle

So I've been getting into books on CD recently. I used to read all the time while living in San Francisco since it was the best way to pass the time on the bus to and from work (and a great way to avoid human contact with the "characters"[aka nut jobs] that would sometimes get on the bus). Atleast I never had a bus weirdo flash, pee or puke on me...and yes, I have heard of that happening. Only in SF...and I would imagine NY, and Chicago, and Boston...any big city that has a public transportation system I suppose...but I digress.

Anyway, so I just finished listening to the "Lipstick Jungle" CD book and it was fantastic! It was light, fun and entertaining; really helped pass the time spent in the car. Candace Bushnell, author of Sex and the City, wrote the book and Cynthia Nixon narrated (who played Miranda on SATC). It's about 3 high powered women who "own" Manhattan. Wendy is the President of a movie studio, Nico is the editor of a powerful magazine, and Victory is a high-end fashion designer. And their lives are fabulous and juicy and dramatic and it's all good fun. Highly recommend.

They are making it into a TV show soon too. Check it out here. It stars Brooke Shields, the chick from 24, and that other chick who played Ian Ziering's gf on 90210.

Won't be seeing you "Sunnin"

Now that we've had the debut of our new summer exhibit Catch A Wave that features all you would ever want to know about waves, surfing and tsunamis (shameless plug), my coworkers and I now have time to actually leave the office to feed ourselves.

So 5 of us trapsied on down to 2nd Street to try the Lebanese restaurant Sunnin. And I have to say, not too impressed. It took almost an hour for us to get our food! I had the chicken kabob sandwich which was decent, but I am sporting some strooong garlic breath right now...a bit much I have to say. Call it karma or delayed indigestion, but my tummy isn't feeling too hot right now either.

Best bet, take your bootie down the street to Open Sesame instead. They don't disappoint over there. Oooo, and get their fried potatoes made with cilantro, garlic, roasted chili and lemon juice. Delish!
