Sounds Like Teen Spirit

The Democratic candidate for Governor, Phil Angelides, sounds just like Dennis Miller on the radio. I heard him talking when I turned on my boyfriend Bill Handel's radio show this morning. I thought it was Dennis, but the guy didn't say "babe" or make any references to 12 century Buddhist Monks burning themselves.

Ring a Ching Ching

I just got my cell phone bill. I had to pay an extra $13 in text messaging charges! I already get 200 text messages for free. I made over 300 text messages last month.

No more of that. I guess I'll have to actually pick up the phone and call people instead.

Big, Fat Babies*

How can a show, that's so obviously an affront to God, be called 7th Heaven? And how, even with the merging of two networks and dozens of shows being cancelled, can this one survive?
And how, being a reasonably intelligent (and completely foxy) woman, can I run home from work to watch it?

*The headline means nothing, I just really wanted it up there-in big ol' letters.

That Flavor is Puke

So I was watching Flavor of Love on VH1 this afternoon. It was on after Celebrity Fit Club and I was too lazy to change the channel. Which is really lazy considering i had the remote in my hand.

Why would a woman throw herself at Flavor Flav? The dude is just foul. He's short and shriveled up and has bad teeth. And it's not like the dude invested his money wisely. I heard he rents an apartment in North Hollywood. I mean, yeah I could see slutting it up for some guy who owns real estate, but a renter?

Wow, was that shallow? Yes!

Interesting Items of Note

  1. At the 24-Hour Fitness in Lakewood I’m one of the ‘skinny’ chicks. At the 24-Hour Fitness in Santa Monica I’m the big, fat girl.
  2. My condo is never going to sell.
  3. I actually saw a roach walk into one of those roach motels. He had no luggage with him, but I wished him a wonderful stay, and rubbed my hands together manically.
  4. The premiere episodes of My Name is Earl and The Office were on last night. I wasn’t too impressed by either, although Michael from the latter is freakin’ nuts. I’m way more excited about tonight’s episode of Ghost Whisperer. It’s going to be awesome. Go JenLove!
  5. I have absolutely nothing planned for this weekend and I’ve never been more excited about it.

Leana of the Future

I can only hope I'm this cool!




Puppy My Ass!

I Need Me a Weiner!

Dog that is! I so want a Dachshund. I had one growing up and she was the greatest.

I really don't think I could handle a puppy. I'd rather have an adult - one that's already been house broken and trained. That way we could spend all our quality time dressing up in fabulous, matching outfits and prank phone calling my ex-boyfriends.

Someone Just Crawled Over My Grave

If the stories of Anna Nicole selling the last photos of her son are true, that's pretty freakin' disgusting.

I guess I can kind of see her side; she wanted the public to see that her son was not this depressed and drugged out kid. I can even see that if the photos got out another way, someone would make money on it. It just seems to be in very poor taste to make money on the death of your only son. The kid's not even in the ground yet and she's already profiting from it.



PS: You suck Horatio Sanz!!!

"Hey Man, I Broke Up with HER!"

Whatever gets you through the day big boy!

I think I might be spending too much energy focusing on this sad bastard......nah....

NBC Agrees with ME!

"SNL" Drops Sanz"

And don't let the door hit your butt on the way out. What a great opportunity he wasted.

The Leana Seal of Approval


I like the new NBC show,
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The premiere episode was on last night, and I bravely stayed up way past my bedtime to watch it. (What kind of person is up at 10 pm on a school night?)

The pilot set things up quickly and it was fun seeing what is probably a pretty good replication of the backstage of a live comedy television show. I mean, come on, it's totally SNL they're modeling it after. They even have a fat, unfunny, drugged up bastard in the cast that they should have just gone ahead and named Soratio Hanz.

Of course it's produced by Aaron Sorkin of West Wing fame. His rapid-fire dialog gets kind of grating at times, but it's clever so I get it. I don't know about "some" people. (Insert nose in the air here).

I fear for Tina Fey's new show,
30 Rock, just 'cause it's going to be compared to Studio 60. But it sounds like Fey's show is going to be a sitcom, less like a drama.

Per usual, I will keep my mind open. I have kept my dance card pretty empty with the new fall tv schedule, so I can certainly make room for Tina's show- even with Tracey Morgan in the cast.

Leana Full of Hate

I'm so pissed off right now. I'm tired of the crap that's been going on in my life. I've wasted too much time waiting for other people to get their shit together and do what they say they're going to.

How come other people get to go back on their word or not do what they are either legally or morally supposed to do, but I can't? Why do I have to keep putting my life on hold?

No more. Tomorrow I'm taking control back. This shit's going to stop.

Why I Like Jack

What do these four songs have in common?

  1. Nirvana’s Nevermind
  2. Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville
  3. Melissa Etheridge’s Come to My Window
  4. Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven

Nothing except that they were the last four songs played on 93.1. FM.

And Now For Something Completely Different

This is the kind of piece I'd like to write if I ever come out of my emotionally crippling depression. It's right on, and has photographic evidence to back it up.

And now, on to start another work week.*


*The ultimate in lazyness-posting a link to another blog on your own blog.

The Best Excuse Ever

Brad Pitt says he won't marry Angelina Jolie until EVERYONE has the right to get married.

What a great excuse to not have to marry her! Brilliant. 'Cause if Brad was really concerned about this he wouldn't have married Jennifer Aniston. And we know this isn't Angelina's idea-she's been married dozens of times.

So in kind, I'm not going to wash my car until everyone in the world has to wash theirs!
