    Note to Heidi's Plastic Surgeon: Put The Scalpel Down. [With updates]

    Update: As of January 19th, this post was (with minor formatting changes) featured on Lovelyish. Yay me! Also, at the bottom, I've added a picture of Heidi post-op from this surgical marathon...it's even more unrecognizable than the People cover.

    Here's a quick recap of Heidi's transformation.

    Circa The Hills - Season 1 (So 2005-06ish)

    I don't see what she was so unhappy about. She was cute!

    Circa after the nose job and first boob job

    Though slightly faker, Heidi still looks pretty here.

    Circa Right Friggin Now

    She looks like a human Barbie doll. And not in a good way! I'm sure Spencer encouraged her too.

    I haven't read the entire article that the People cover is referring to, but I was reading a site last night that detailed the slew of procedures she had. Botox at the age of 23? Are you fucking joking me? Not that she needed to waste a dime on any of what she did, but the Botox, which in the realm of cosmetic procedures is probably the least dramatic, seems the most ridiculous to me. She's 23 years old...she does NOT need fucking Botox

    Edit 1/20/10: This is another post-op photo of Heidi, courtesy of Perez Hilton.


    Here's a warning: If Heidi doesn't put her checkbook away and the doctor doesn't put the scalpel and syringes down, she's gonna look like this: [Even though she denies it.]

    And that's just disgusting.

    What do you think of Heidi's surgical addiction and transformation?

    Leno vs. Conan...my two cents.

    Twitter has made me lazy. It's gotten to the point where when something worthy of a post happens, I think "why bother posting, I just summed it up on Twitter in 140 characters (or less)." I need to break that habit.

    vs.

    In case you've been living under a rock this past week, two big stories have broken. A horrific earthquake in Haiti, and NBC cancelled Jay Leno's prime-time show because the ratings sucked. Both have been analyzed and talked about ad nauseum on the news. However, there is nothing more I can say about Haiti that you haven't already heard/seen in the last week-ish.

    Bottom line: NBC's local affiliates thought Jay Leno's prime-time show was shitteous and sapped their ratings for their local news. Because of this NBC had their nuts in a vice grip and cancelled his show and decided to play musical hosts with their late-night lineup.

    From what I understand, when Jay took over the Tonight Show years ago, it was already predestined that Conan would inherit the seat from Jay. That's all fine and dandy. What I don't understand is why NBC is continuing to kiss Jay Leno's ass when it's been proven that he obviously sucks. If Jeff Zucker & company weren't a bunch of blithering idiots, the logical choice would be: "Hey, Leno, sorry but this new thing isn't working out for us...we're cancelling your show...time to go find something else to do"...NOT "Hey Jay, your show sucked in the ratings, we cancelled it, but we're gonna give Conan the shaft and you can have your old job back."

    And then for NBC to threaten to keep Conan O'Brien off the air for three years? I really hope Conan sues the shit out of them. This is how I look at it: Say the big boss where I work decided to leave, and my immediate boss got promoted to her position, and I get promoted to fill my boss' old seat. That's all great and well (and shit I wish that would happen haha) but then say that for whatever reason, the bigwigs at corporate don't like how she's doing as boss of the whole building, so they say "Well Mar, you can go back to being the head of the medical records department" and then them just turning around and canning me because they want to give her back her old position. They would have a wrongful termination lawsuit on their hands in a friggin heartbeat. Then say to top it off, they turn around and say "Oh by the way Heather, we'll make it so you can't get another job for three years"

    Pretty fucked, isn't it?

    What are your thoughts on the whole mess?

    Compare.

    I recall having done this with John Mayer and Tom Petty for "Free Fallin'" back in the day, but here's another one.

    I have always liked John Mayer. He's hot, his voice is hot [yes there is such a thing], he plays guitar like a god, and he's a hometown boy-ish [He's from Connecticut, albeit Fairfield, which is at least an hour from Godforsaken Goshen, but whatevs...woot woot]

    His propensity to look like he's gonna bust a nut when he's performing is a bit disturbing.


    He obviously looks much hotter here...albeit slightly confused :)

    But his inherent pretty boy-ness (and his tendency to be a heartbreaker) is not the topic of this post.

    The man may be ragged on for being a pussy/writing girly songs/whatever, but when he covers a song, he tends to make it even better than the original. This time: "Message in a Bottle"

    Here is the original, being performed live by The Police:




    Now for comparison, Mr. Mayer's version:



    Whose version do you think is better? Why?

    BTW if someone wants to be a doll and buy me tickets to his concert in February as a birthday present, I'd freakin love you haha

    Looking back.

    Today, for shits and giggles [Alright I was bored to tears and it was a last resort.] I pulled up my old-ass blog from back in the day. I came to a few conclusions:

    • I had about ZERO self-confidence [Which in retrospect was most of my problems]
    • I probably should have not been so fricken quiet and antisocial [Again, confidence...root of my issues]
    • I also should not have been so woe-is-me emo.

    Basically, Taylor Swift's song "Fifteen" sums up how I feel. If I could rewind 4-5 years knowing what I know now...things could potentially be different. I might not have ever met Justin, but I might not ever have needed to either, if you know what I mean.





    That said, where I am could be worse, so I'm certainly NOT complaining :)

    Inane, petty bullshit anyone?

    I just watched the pilot episode of Jersey Shore. I think my IQ just dropped faster than the pants of those whores that the guys picked up off the street and got to strip for the hot tub.

    I have never spent 40 minutes watching such shallow TV programming...Jerry Springer included...haha

    If you dare watch, here's an embed :)



    Seriously. I dare you to make it past the first commercial break without feeling a.) really stupid. and b.) pissing yourself laughing.

    What do you think of the show?

    Glad that's fixed.

    The boy did end up coming over after he went to the bar (by himself no less...what a loser...jk). I was glad to see him MAKING JOKES and smiling. Complete 180 from Friday, and MY mood ended up improving as well :)

    (Lucky for him, in three weeks he won't have to go to the bar like a loser by himself, as I'll FINALLY be 21 and no longer a member of the underage party pooper girlfriend club)

    I think he wanted to slap me for buying him Blazblue, but seeing his face when I handed it to him was completely worth the $52 I shit out for the game.

    Besides, based on our conversation from last night, I can tell he's not pissy, because again, he discussed moving out of his parents' house and into someplace with me (Woot I can get away from terminally lazy and deadbeat landlady). He's waiting for his disability claim from the military to come in, which of course, like any government agency, they're taking their sweet ass friggin time in processing. If it goes through (which if they aren't stupid, it WILL) he gets $250 a month for the rest of his life, plus back-disability for nearly three years. He should be hearing about this on Tuesday, so that would be nice :) Now my crazy delusional ass will be going to Target making a mental wish list of shit to get...like cute plates and whatnot, but I've been doing that for the last two and a half years almost.

    How do you usually stay in touch with people?

    The one device that now does it all:

    My Crackberry Curve 8330 :) [Taken via webcam. Hence shit quality. My bad.]

    Between Twitter via UberTwitter, email, texting, Facebook, and hell, even this here blog now that I discovered it works...I'm covered.

    And additionally today, via Crackberry, I found a sale on Tether/Tetherberry for 50% off, thus allowing me to use my goddamned Blackberry as a modem, like discussed in the manual WITHOUT joining some convoluted plan with Sprint that would be $20 more a month, despite the fact that they extoll their "Everything" plans to include everything. They don't. Phone as a modem is more. UNTIL NOW. $20 for the software, and I'm golden. Since my landlady is still being a deadbeat bum and not paying the phone bill.  Although she claims we're going to be getting it through the cable company. Whatever. I'm good for now.

    Pissy boyfriends make for emo girlfriends.

    Or at least in our case.

    Justin has been going through some drama at work. I could spend an hour typing out a long-winded explanation of the minutae, but it can be summed up pretty quickly. He found out from sources *cough* Andrew and his mom *cough* that they want to can him at Walgreens, essentially (from what I understand) because he vocally complained on Christmas about having to work (Not without reason, he told them he couldn't work, yet the scheduled him anyway) and his sadistic manager thinks thats grounds to fire him...or something. But then again, I have a distinct feeling that I'm not getting the whole story either, so who knows.

    Thursday he went into work expecting the worst...apparently he and the HR/Loss Prevention dude had a chat. He kept his job. Something else has to have happened though because he was ridiculously emo and was like "a part of me dies tonight and I don't want you to see that"...still haven't quite figured out what the fuck that meant...but that's whatever.

    I had to go up there yesterday and go pick up a prescription, so I brought him dinner. He was genuinely depressing to be around, and it killed me that pretty much NOTHING I did made him feel any better. I told him to come over after work and we could watch a movie, and he shot me down. Having been through work drama this summer, I KNOW DAMN WELL IT WILL HELP. But he's too friggin stubborn to listen.

    Every time I talk to him he sounds deflated, depressed, and genuinely hopeless, and he refuses to entirely explain it to me because he "doesn't want to drag me into it". So obviously when he's depressed, so am I.

    I bought him this today, he played it at Andrew's and enjoyed it. He wanted to buy it but due to his car issues had no money to...plus I think it'll be a healthy way for him to take out his aggression. Texted him "Got you something ure gonna like, but you gotta come claim it from me :P" Hopefully that cracks his stubbornness and he'll come over. I suppose if it doesn't I can hand deliver it to him tomorrow, but I want to get him out of HIS house. I'm sure he's not exactly being pleasant to his parents, so I'd prolly be doing them a favor.

    No answer as of yet. Told Andrew I bought it for him so hopefully if he calls up Andrew wanting to hang out, Andrew will direct him my way.

    Yet another reason why I fucking hate Walgreens. Suck the life out of my love, why don't you, you sadistic fucks.

  • Oh the things I think of in the shower...

    The other morning while I was in the shower this post sorta came to me (don't ask me why, just go with it...haha)

    The other day as I was heading home (likely from Justin's, as he has internet...although this morning I was told by the spastic landlady that she will actually get the internet back...though who the hell friggin knows when...but whatever) I was engaging in my second-favorite in-car activity, radio station surfing. (The first fave being iPod surfing) when I heard Chris Brown's new song. I listened for about 30 seconds, came to the conclusion that it, like all his other music sucks. The fact that uber douche man whore Lil Wayne (who we all know I loathe) is in it does not help his case.

    Being that this is Connecticut and all, I was listening to a Clear Channel owned station. I realize that they're a broadcasting conglomerate and all, but being that this is a tiny ass state, 75%-ish of the "popular" statewide stations are owned by them. Can you say monopoly? Anyhoo, I got to thinking, Clearchannel will glorify a woman beating douchebag who committed a felony and should be rotting in jail by playing his music, yet back in the day when Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks said that she was ashamed of being from the same state of George W. Bush (which is NOT a felony, and merely a display of her first amendment right to free speech) Clear Channel yanked the Dixie Chicks off their programming lists nationwide.

    Would someone please explain to me how that makes any sense? We, as a society, should not be rewarding this shithead by advancing his career in any way, especially as he has showed minimal remorse in the media with his half-assed apologies.

    Yet another reason why I find my radio listening habits gradually drifting to less iron-fisted corporate stations.

    Anyhoo...that was my rant for the day. What are your thoughts/opinions on the matter?
