Post Secret, cont'd
More Post Secret postcards. Some are funny, some are sad, some just make you think. I just saved these because they stirred something in me, whether good, bad or unfamiliar.

Hussy Hayden
We have an addition for my list of People-Who-Give-Me-A-Reason-To-Lose-Respect...please welcome Hayden Panettiere!! I loved her in "Remember the Titans", and she was fun in "Heroes", but JEEZY CREEZY!!!
If you watched this music video on mute it would be offensive enough. Seeing as how she VERY recently put away her Jail Bait badge and shows off her THONG (basically) in there. But then, OH then, you listen to the words.
"It seems like I gotta do wrong
to get your attention
but maybe when i call this man up
you’ll finally start to wake up

you’ll finally start to wake up
I think i’m gonna have to cheat
to keep your eyes on me
but maybe if i make you jealous
you’ll finally start to wake up"
Excuse me? Please, PLEASE let me share this video with you:

Puppets
How sad that the first truly theatrical thing I do out of college, the first time I actually pull from my wonderful education, is for a puppet show at my job.
Long story short, GE just wrote a fat check to the Texas Children's Hospital - yea GE! In honor of that (or something) a group from my office is going to go perform a puppet show for some of the kids at the end of July. I just got recruited this week, and I got my puppet today. Her name is Linda. She is one of the narrators of the Three Little Pigs story. And she loves to dance!
The script is so bad it makes my tummy hurt. And my hand is cramping. But 'wah', this is what we do. PLUS if I ever audition for Avenue Q I can say I have puppet experience, however limited.
As much as I would like to complain about how silly this is, it is nice to use my gifts. Plus I know how fulfilling it will be when we are at the hospital. We are also going to a few rooms, for kids who cant leave their beds, to read books and stories. Hopefully sans-puppet, but we shall see. I just really hope this can be a blessing for those children and for the staff.

Final Thoughts on Runway Ep 1
Top Three
Daniel: I loved this dress, even though the plastic sheen made it almost look cheap.
Kelli: WINNER! Not the prettiest thing, but the most impressive and interesting.
Korto: Great use of color, fun shapes.
Bottom Three
Stella: Blech - awful. Lets see if it was a fluke...
Jerry: He is creepy and too full of himself. He reminds me of that older guy from season three who kept saying things "got him off". BYE BYE!!
Blayne: Edgy diaper, bathing suit creature? I hate that he is still here...
I love that I called the bottom three half way through. I very nearly quoted Kelli as the one that gave off the best vibe, but I digress.

Project Runway Season 5
OK, first of all I managed to hear about this for the first time this past weekend!!! I could have missed the premiere - weird.
My first impression of most of the designers was not pleasant. Blayne and Jerry both made me a bit queasy. Stella is obnoxious; I really hope she goes home (it is half way through the episode). The others havent really made much impression yet. I may write more afterwards.

Dream Destinations
List of destinations I aspire to explore:
*Castle Drogo (in Devon, outside of Exeter)
-Some believe that it was named after Drogo Baggins, father of Frodo (LotR). I feel a strange connection to castle ruins surrounded by green landscape. I have two coffee table books of Bird's Eye View of England and Scotland; it almost makes my eyes water. Truly, the weird thing is the vague feeling of nostalgia... seeing as how I have never been.
*Dubrovnik, Croatia

*Dubrovnik, Croatia-Did you know that the tie was 'invented' in Croatia? It was originally called the cravat, which is derived from "hrvat" which means Croatia. It made its way to France during the 30 Years War in the 17th century, where the French adopted the style. Of course, the tie has little (or nothing) to do with my desire to visit. My main reason is the beautiful culture, specifically the street acapella and fascinating alcohol. Plus I would love to see the church Bammel has helped establish.
*Brussels, Belgium
-I would be lying if I pretended that beer was not my main cause for desire in this case. They have hundreds of different beers; they have a beer for every palette For example if you prefer sweet drinks, try this: set a shot of apple schnapps on fire, then pour apple beer over the top (Flamme de Biere). Only in Brussels, am I right? I must go to Delrium Cafe...
*Greece
-Well, do I need to explain it? It is gorgeous.
