Jami Has Been Tagged!

EDW tagged me with this meme, and since I am thereby honor-bound to complete it . . . . Four places I go over and over again: - MOPS: meetings, Moms' Nights Out, you name it - Church - Giant Eagle (our grocery store) - to the fridge Four people who mail me regularly: - Lori - My mom - Stephe (who actually sent me this same meme recently!) - Heidi from MOPS - gotta find out about those Moms' Night Out Four of my favorite places to eat, (apart from home) - Quaker Steak and Lube - Dave and Busters - Eat'N'Park - Anywhere someone brings me food that I didn't cook and don't have to clean up after Four places I'd rather be now: - On a cruise to anywhere warm - At an all-inclusive resort on a nice beach - At the Penguins' game with a beer, pretzel and nachos - Moms' Night Out - really, they're that fun Four favorite TV shows: - The Simpsons! Of course. Not like I'm a total Simpsons geek, but do YOU know Millhouse's middle name? I do. - Psych - hilarious and filled with 80s music. What could be better? - Ugly Betty - soapy, but also smart and with great heart. - the Office - funny and wrong every week Four movies I could watch over and over again: - Serenity (only after you've seen Firefly, though!) - Snakes on a Plane. Seriously, I love this movie. It has it all. - Grosse Point Blank - you have to love this heartwarming tale of a hired killer. - I, Robot - because it's got Will Smith and a great warning. And I choose to add to this meme, after doing the second to last one: Four Shows You Wish They Hadn't Cancelled - Pushing Daisies - a clever, new premise, great actors, hilarity, occasional singing, and great cliffhangers. Oh, and solving murders. Why wouldn't this smart, fun show be cancelled? - Futurama - as evidenced by the three movies released since cancellation, they still had stories to tell - Firefly - Great writing, great acting, great ideas - no advertising, played out of order, gee, wonder why it didn't do well. - Arrested Development - a great push was made for this, too little, too late. This show was so wrongly funny it makes the Office look like Matlock. I don't really have anyone to tag, so I just randomly tag whoever wants to do it. If you don't have a blog, feel free to answer in the comments here. And EDW, you gotta do the last one.

Jami Crushing

Ah, the Crush. I gotta be honest, dear friends, I love nothing more than love. Crushes, aren't love, they are l-u-v. They are the fun and silly part of luv that you know will never go anywhere. You'll never find the little niggly things that make you want to smack the object of crush in the forehead. They never are annoying or forgetful or snore. That's what's fun. I love luv, too. Paperback Writer, the brilliant friend who got me into blogging (blame her!!), posted this list of her current crushes. It's a fun list and one I agree with on some points. I "get" girl crushes by straight women, just like guys who have man-cruses, but the truth is, I couldn't think of one to save my soul. As I've sort of alluded to here and there, I've had some troubles with girl friends and part of that still lingers, I guess. So, here is my current all-boy crush list. Probably partial, because I'm not spending a lot of time on it: Will Smith - duh, always number one. If Jada weren't so perfect and in great shape . . . Al Yankovic - you may know him as Weird Al. Brilliant. Funny. In shape. Hines Ward - happy, gorgeous and has a Super Bowl Ring. Sheldon on the Big Bang Theory - He's so adorable. I want him as a pet. Johnny Depp - Now with Singing! Steve Buscemi - like a pug, so weird looking, you just have to love him Hank Azaria - could anyone be more under-rated than this guy? Plus, see him starkers in Run, Fatboy, Run Alan Tudyk - just because he played Wash on Firefly and I still think I'm Zoe. Spike from Angel/Buffy - not James Marsters,the actor who played him, I love Spike. Dr. Cox on Scrubs - Again, not the actor, the character. I can love a fictional character - don't judge me. Ewan McGregor - just watch Down with Love and Moulin Rouge and try NOT to luv him. Brad Pitt - cliche? sure, but let's be fair, this man's just plain tasty. Jay (of Jay and Silent Bob) - the real Jason Mewes is probably very nice, but again, it's Jay that got my heart. Val Kilmer - never could "get" why Tom Cruise was the star of Top Gun, who even noticed him next to Val? Even with the weird "teeth snap" thing. He sings, too, check out Top Secret. The Rock - He's just big and like, meanly pretty. I don't know what that means, but it's what's I think. M. Night Shyamalan - Not a great actor, but a neat brain and Indian men seem to like me Naveen Andrews- Hot, plus he's Indian, see above. Jay Chandrasekhar - continuing with my Indian theme, smart, funny and the director of the Broken Lizard's movies, which earns him extra props. Data - Shut up. I love him. Harrison Ford - who could be hotter than Han Solo AND Indiana Jones? no one, that's who. and briefly, people I would have a crush on, but they are flawed: Jack Black- smart, funny, sings, BUT he'd have to be able to turn it off, or I'd have to put a barbecue fork through his tongue. Penn Jillette - he's tall, he's funny, he's smart. But he's soooooo outspokenly atheist, I just can't get past it. Peter Tork - it is with great regret I move Pete to this list from the above, but he's just getting a bit too old. John Cusack - I love him, but really, it's just the brotherly way. Michael Cera - adorable and great comedic timing, but just too young. Robert Downey, Jr. - Dude - STOP DOING DRUGS. Thank you. River Pheonix - Beautiful, talented, but you know, dead. And finally - Sarah Silverman- adorable and so hilarious, but a chick. That's all for now, folks. Feel free to share or discuss.
