Eye Candy 6/7

Female Hottie: Natalie Portman

This little hottie is best known as Princess Amidalya from the Star Wars prequels, but she has done quite a bit more than that. She recently took a break from acting to pursue other interests. I think she was working on her degree or something. A face like that is made to be in front of cameras.

Male Hottie: Harry Connick, Jr.

Musician/actor Harry Connick, Jr. has been making ladies swoon with his voice and good looks for years now. His breakout acting role was on the show Will & Grace, where he played Grace's husband Leo. His time on that show boosted his album sales and apparently his sex appeal. Enjoy ladies!

Random Hottie from a movie or TV show seen this week: Kaley Cuoco

Kaley first came into the general public knowledge as John Ritter's eldest daughter on 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, which she followed up by appearing on the final season of Charmed. A few minor spots here and there and lending her voice to Brandy of Disney's Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, we get to the reason she's in this spot. Currently, she can be seen as Penny in The Big Bang Theory.

MILF: Lela Rochon

Can you believe she's 45? Lela is not the most popular actress on the planet, but she has starred in a few films, such as Any Given Sunday, Boomerang, Why Do Fools Fall in Love?, and her biggest role as Robin in Waiting to Exhale. She is the mother of two beautiful children. Hopefully we'll see her in front of the camera again soon.

Classic/Retro Hottie: Julie Newmar

As you can tell by the photo I selected, Julie Newmar is best known as Catwoman from the old Batman show. There were a handful of actresses to portray Catwoman during the show's tenure, but, make no mistake she was Julie's character. Catwoman was not the only character Julie played, she also had roles in film and stage as well as developed her own line of pantyhose, plus there was a film that pays homage to her, Too Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. Julie still lives in L.A. and is currently writing 5 books.

Colored tissue

I don't normally do the shopping in our house, so I'm not familiar with items that are still in circulation or not. Anyway, this morning, I went to by some toilet paper.

Why is this blameworthy news? well, the act in itself isn't, but let me ask you all something...does anybody remember when this stuff came in colors other than white? I seem to remember being able to get it in pink and blue, at least. I could just be imagining things, though.

Now, I didn't go specifically looking for colored toilet paper. That was just an observation I made. The random things I happen to see or think of, huh? lol

I need to stop watching DVDs

I'm sure you've all read or hear of the death of David Carradine. I just happened to watch Kill Bill (both volumes) a couple of weeks ago. This isn't the first time that I've watched a movie shortly before someone dies, as a matter of fact it's a recurring theme.

On top of that, whenever I pull an older movie out, or even consider one, within a day or two I read on-line that they're thinking of remaking or, the word they like to use now is reboot. This past weekend I considered pulling out Short Circuit. Monday morning, I read that they have greenlit a reboot. GRRR!!!

Maybe if i stop watching movies this madness and death will stop. Alright, maybe not, but hey, I can dream, can't I?

25 and 20?

Last night AMC showed both Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2 (see my reviews on my other blog (the link is right there in the sidebar).

What surprised me was that this is all part of a 25 yr celebration. As I told some of my facebook friends last night, I can't believe it's been 25 rs. I remember the first time I saw it gave me nightmares --hangs head in shame-- Now I love it, though.

20 yrs ago the sequel came out. Where has the time gone? Anyone else out there in shock about this like I?

Persisting issues

Turns out that yesterday was a double credit day on Entrecard. Since it had been quite some time since I had a massive dropping day, I decided to try and take advantage of it. That was the plan, anyway.

Too bad it didn't happen. Firefox decided to go all wonky on me and many sites I went to opened and then locked. I had this problem before in IE, but Firefox just started this phenomenon recently.

I don't need to tell you that this is frustrating beyond frustrating, and hinders my reading and dropping abilities. No offense to those blogs that I normally read and drop on, but sometimes I want to search for "new blood", but if blogs lock up my comp like that, it dissuades from doing so, and really dissolves the purpose of dropping for me.

On top of this, for some reason, Firefox isn't remembering my passwords. Now, I've heard that it goes through these cycles where it does that, so no big...or is it?

UGH!!!! As bad as these issues are, they'd be a lot worse in Internet Explorer. Yes, I did try to go back and do things over there...didn't work. Oh well. Hopefully I'm not the only experiencing such issues.
