So That Happened

A Little Help Here?

In my overhaul of this blog, I updated my music and book lists on the right (because "Womanizer" isn't exactly a new song anymore) and went through my various categories on the left, renaming most of them so they sounded less twee.  (It was time.  Really.  I should have done it ages ago, to be honest.)  That said, I'm unsure why the category entitled "Travel" doesn't appear in said list.  Shouldn't it?  I only renamed it - I certainly didn't delete it, and I know all of the posts I tagged as "Travel" still exist because they can be found here.

Any advice as to what I should do other than refresh the page like a mad person?  Because that's what I've been doing and I hope it hasn't been in vain.

Addendum: As soon as I wrote and saved this post, the "Travel" category appeared like magic on the left.  Of COURSE it did.  Oh, well.  I'll leave this post up anyway as a testament to my impatience.

The Urge to Purge

I learned of this brilliant idea from Annika: get rid of 100 things in a week. I'm sure I'll need more than a week to do this (I'm giving myself two max), but I want to give it a shot. Why don't you?

In other news, I slammed the car door on my pinky yesterday. Awesome. Because I wasn't feeling bad enough already. Nothing's broken, thank goodness, but it hurt like a son of a bitch.

In more positive news, I saw something that made me laugh out loud:

moar funny pictures

Oh, those lolcats.

Tito, Get Me Some Tissue

The lovely and delicious Jen has decided to give our blog, Knee Deep in the Hoopla, a break.

I already miss it and, more specifically, her.

I shall pour one out for my homie right...now.

Death Becomes Me

And, apparently, that will be in March of 2060, when I will die of old age at 85.

At least that's what The Death Test told me.

So, when are you going to die?

Chuck Norris: Man, Myth, LEGEND

Chuck Norris Facts makes me laugh more than I can say.

Face Time 2: Electric Boogaloo

Now that I've learned that I look most like Willow of all people (and, again, WHAAAA??), I couldn't resist testing the following photo of a then-very pregnant Melissa Joan Hart, one which has already gone under much scrutiny by Jen and me.

Would MyHeritage.com be able to see past the pregnancy bloat and wonky eye and recognize Sabrina?  Well, WOULD IT??!

The results:

1. Meg Ryan (66%): Pre-horribly disfiguring lip and cheek implant phase.
2. Hilary Swank (63%): Post-Boys Don't Cry, growing out her short guy hair phase.
3. Paula Radcliffe (62%): She's a British long distance runner, in case you were wondering.
4. Lindsay Lohan (62%): Her red hair, fake tan and pink lipstick phase, otherwise known as 2004.
5. Hilary Duff (62%): Her cute phase, not her gum-pimping, tooth implant-y phase.
6. Renee Zellweger (59%): The brunette version, at that.
7. J.K. Rowling (58%): Another Brit!
8. Julianne Moore (57%): And she's not even really a redhead in the photo that came up.
9. Naomi Watts (55%): The site totally used a still from Mulholland Falls, too.
10. Yael Bar Zohar (52%): Who's she,  you ask?  Apparently she's an Israeli actress.  Okay then.

Can you believe that MELISSA JOAN HART didn't even come up as one of the results for MELISSA JOAN HART?!  That's about the funniest thing I've seen all day.

However much I may crow about this here, MJH wins in the end, and not just because she and her post-pregnancy face and wonky eye can go to bed at night on a mattress stuffed with cash as she uses $100 bills for Kleenex because she is so very loaded, but because MyHeritage.com did not think she resembled any male celebrities AT ALL.  I mean, it thought I looked like Rock Hudson AND Robert Redford, for pete's sake.

COME ON.

Face Time

A late-night visit to the lovely Jessica's blog led me to this site, where one can find out which celebrities they may resemble by uploading a picture for scanning.

Now, I don't really resemble any celebrities, per se, but whenever I do go out in a work capacity, I am often mistaken for one of our other Asian female reporters.  You know, because we all look alike.  I've had people SWEAR to me that they've seen me on TV, which always makes me laugh.

This is the picture I used.  It was taken in October at Tina's wedding in Las Vegas (hi, Tina!), and with the statuesque Jen H. to my right.  (She's so tall that her boob is practically resting on my clavicle, and we're both in heels!) 

This is the best of the most recent pictures of myself, being that my hair looks shiny and my skin does not and instead looks like it has a nice olive tone all around, especially for mid-October.  Yeah, I know, I'm naturally tan, but still.  I didn't think I'd ever post a picture of myself here, but since I am now, here you go.

Lest you think otherwise, I am not nude (you sickos) but rather in my favorite Little Black Dress, a strapless Banana Republic number.  Too bad you can't see it, because it's cute:

The results?  Are nothing short of hilarious.

1. Alyson Hannigan (70%): WHAAAA??  Does this mean that I can fill in for her as Lily on How I Met Your Mother (thus making me that much closer to my goal of meeting my true love, Neil Patrick Harris) and no one would be the wiser?  Does this mean that I could fool her hot husband, Alexis Denisov?
2. Chris Evert (66%): AHAHAHAHAHAHA. 
3. Mira Sorvino (65%): I'm flattered, really, but, um, REALLY?  Hello!  I would love to have her fluency in Mandarin Chinese and ridiculously great legs, though.  I'd also like to say that I would like a crack at her husband, but he reminds me too much of a male Denise Richards to say so.
4. Kim Basinger (61%): Okay, now I'm really flattered, because I'd love nothing more than to look like her in her L.A. Confidential period, but COME ON.
5. Elisha Cuthbert (59%): Again, AHAHAHAHAHA. 
6. Becky Griffin (57%): Uh, who?  I said the same thing.  Apparently Becky is an Israeli model as well as the country's first MTV VJ.  She's very pretty, and I'm flattered that this crazy website thinks that I look 57% like her.
7. Renee Zellweger (57%): Okay, is this a crack on my not-so-prominent cheekbones??!  Are you implying that I look 57% like the woman who looks like she's been hit in the face with a frying pan while sucking on a lemon??!  If that's the case, then FUCK YOU, MYHERITAGE.COM.
8. Hilary Duff (54%): AHAHAHAHAHA.  That said, I take comfort in the fact that the website thinks I look more like the younger and cuter Hilary Duff and not the horse teeth implant-wearing and not-cute lead singer of Good Charlotte-dating Hilary Duff.

I find it hysterical that I apparently resemble not one Asian female celebrity.  And to prove just how much of a coked-up whore MyHeritage.com is, it not only doesn't think I look like any Asian female celebrity, but it thinks I also look like Rock Hudson (54%) and Robert Redford (53%). 

Blog Pimpin': Fibble.org

My mad genius friend, Grant, not only has a blog full of, among other things, gorgeous photos from his Egypt vacation with his equally mad genius wife, Mel, he also has posted his first mashup.  He gets super points plus a gold star from me for using my two loves, Nine Inch Nails and the Beastie Boys, and so I feel compelled to share him with you now.

Grant's Mashup: Only Trouble

Enjoy!
