Babys are Adorable......When There Not Yours.

Right now I am babysitting for the most adorable, cutest, smartest baby I know.

No, I'm not talking about myself....but I can see where you might have gotten confused. No I am talking about my wonderful niece. She is now 1 and 1/2 and is so freakin adorable I can barely stand it. And you know what the best part about my niece is? That at the end of the day I give her back to her parents.

Now you may think that this idea is a little mean or cynical, but let me tell you, kids are EXHAUSTING!

Playing with them is a blast. Hanging out is fun. But after a full day, I don't know how parents do it? If you ever want to hear smart, intelligent adults become mindless blubbering idiots, put them in a room with a baby and all hell breaks loose. No more "Did you watch that special on CNN last night about Syria?" of "How was that bottle of cabernet?". Nope it is all GAH GAH BOO BOO WAH WAH. Whose the prettiest girl? YOU ARE!!! Peak a boo! ITS ME!

Anyone who knows me usually knows how much I hate children. They're pretty stupid. And they smell. And they generally are really annoying.

I was in a Target the other day and this little kid kept hitting his mom with a tube of wrapping paper . He ket screaming MOM, MOM, MOM and hitting her with the paper...... While she was on the phone.

WHAT?!?

If I was the mother I would sock him right back with that wrapping paper roll....And see this is why I can't have kids. If they were annoying me I would just tell them to shut up. Not very good parenting I know but what can I say, I'm 24 and immature.

But hey I'm not all bad. Now, after my long speech about how children are stupid let me tell you all the reasons I am soooo in love with my niece.

1. She is Amazing!
2. She is super smart (we had pizza today and every time we took out a slice she would say PIZZA PIZZA! She points to things and knows what they are. Its like freakin magic!)
3. She is adorable....no really! Most people say that and of course there is the bias that she is my niece which makes her a lot more special but she literally is the cutest baby of all time! Blonde hair, blue eyes--Just gorgeous.
4. She is fun to play with...she always has the funnest toys and will always share
5. She talks to you and says good bye when your leaving and hi when you get here.
6. She is a reader. She loves reading books at sleepy time
7. She just lights up a room when you are with her. It is like impossible to not smile when she giggle
8. OH YEAH her laugh is infectious!!
9 And finally.....she is just AMAZING--I thought it should be said twice.

I couldn't possibly love her anymore and I can't to watch her grow up!

And the best part of all,when I babysit I get to watch movies like Taken on my brothers giant screen tv. GOD COULD IT GET ANY BETTER.

Which brings me to:

Hottie of the Moment 

DANG. I don't know what it is but Liam Neeson is so freakin hot. It may be the accent, it may be an older man thing, or it may be all the neck chopping action in Taken, but Liam has definitely got it!!

Don't Cry for Me Gay-Gentina!

Gay men go with theatre like milk goes with cookies, like clowns with the circus, like Lady Gaga goes with meat outfits. The fit perfectly together and everyone expects it. But what happens when you expect to walk into a room full of gays and instead you have got a room full of straighties?

Well shit.

I have been in theatre my entire life and I have never, ever, ever, worked with a cast full of straight men. Granted my cast is small; approximately 6 people all together. But never the less 4 of those characters are male. Now let me tell you, I am the first to say I know a gay when I meet one, and when I met this cast I made my judgments. BAD GIRL! I know. Judgments are exactly what I shouldn’t be making, but I am only human, sue me.  Shocked and Chagrin was I to learn that the guy I assumed was going to be my new best gay friend was straight. Not only was he straight but he was also getting married. Oh sheesh. Boy was I wrong. Well now I feel like a shit head.

I’ve never been in this territory before.

I don’t know what to do with myself. I am living in a world full of straight, blue blooded, poorly dressed men. What am I suppose to talk to them about? Fishing? The Golf Network? Cars? Well hell no. I did not sign up for this. I signed up for big flaming moes with flash and pazaz and all that Jazz. Can I get an amen.

Seriously if I don’t see a pair of boating shoes carefully matched with a fitted jacket and argyle scarf soon I am gonna loose it.

I have no one to talk to about my love of Barbra Streisand. Whom am I suppose to say “hey girl” to when I walk in the room?  And who am I supposed to go gay clubbing with after a show?  This is terrible!

Ok I am exaggerating. My cast is awesome and even though I am with out my right hand gay, I know we can get through. I always think I am going to be less amazed every time I get a new cast, but I never am. The talent I am hit with constantly is astounding! I know for a fact some of these people will be on Broadway someday.  

 And PS my cast is pretty good looking! Which brings me to 

Hottie Of The Moment

What a hottie! Hubba Hubba. 

I have to tell you, when I was like 8 years old I had the hugest crush on little Doogie. When I found out he was gay I was devistated. But like all women who were dangerously in love with this unavailable man, I adjusted and looked at him like my new best friend instead. And let me tell you, I have never wanted to be best friends with someone more! Well except maybe Princess Kate. But I am sure me and Doogie could double team her.

Blogging is hard!

Ok So I have had this blog for a while now and I promised to write almost everyday. You know what? I lied. Blogging is hard and time is short. I wish I had more time to do this. Like maybe professionally or something, but now that I am back I solemnly swear to blog at least once a week....... Oh god. There I go again. Another lie. BUGH!!! Sorry but I have so much going on right now. New job, I am stage managing two shows, and like 50 other things.

But blah blah blah, enough about me and my whiney problems. I have to get back to the real issues. Entertainment, gossip, and hotties with bodies.

So I don't know if you have heard of this new show called The Mindy Project, but it is a new comedy with Mindy Kaling-- You know that crazy girl from The Office. Well she created this new show about how she is a doctor with a crazy life and the shenanigans of dating. Well, ever since they posted the first episode on HULU I have watched it like 900 times. It is freakin hilarious and if Mindy Kalling met me she would def let me be on the show. It tis filled to the brim with witty dialogue, snippy comebacks, and hot hot hotties. Here are a few quotes that have made my life:

"My body mass index is not great but I'm not like Precious or anything"

"May he have the wealth of Mayor Bolomberg, the personality of John Stewart, the face of Michael Fassebender.............the Penis of Michael Fassebender"

"I'm basically a vegetarian. For moral reasons. I mean I eat eggs and fish and hamburgers. Never steak."

"Oh I'm sorry I guess it couldn't be worse then getting arrested at a Bruce Springsteen concert.

First of all," , "it's a 'Springsteen show,' not a 'Bruce Springsteen concert.' You sound ignorant. Second of all, you don’t show up at a Springsteen show wearing a John Cougar Mellencamp T-shirt unless you want to get punched in the face."

BAHAH so funny. I love it already. I can't wait to more episodes come out. Plus there is this extremely hot actor who is british and a sex-a-holic. 

HELLO!

 Sign me up. 

Done and Done.

Hottie of the Moment 

Ed Weeks

I have no idea who you are or what you have done in the past. You are not famous and have not credits really that anyone has heard of but DAMN. You are smoking fine and I would tap that anytime!

<3JM

From Bubble Boy, to Cowboy to Broadway Boy.

If you don't know me yet, well Hello, my name is Julie Murray and I am a huge theater nerd. I have been in shows since I was a sophomore in high school and just recently I started stage managing for some theater companies around Boston and local ones in  Framingham. 

When I was a kid growing up, my life long goal was to be a Disney Princess. I was obsessed with Aladdin (so hot by the by if cartoons were real people I would tap that in a second) and Jasmine and that sweet tiger....oh man what was her name???????????? Well regardless, I knew for certain that I was going to grow up and live in a castle, find my prince charming, and live my happily ever after. 

In third grade we had a dress up day for what we wanted to be when we grew up. Why in the world did our teachers think that we knew what we wanted to be in third grade is beyond me, but I chose a veterinarian. I was gonna save animals lives, I mean I had already practiced on all my stuff animals how hard could it be? WRONG. Thats when I learned that with fixing animals you also had to put them down and watch them die. Well that was that!

After that I didn't really think to much about what I wanted to do until about sophomore year of high school when my parents and I sat down to watch a movie. They picked out a movie called Funny Girl. Now at 16 I wasn't too interested in old time movies with actual intermissions in them. But it had Barbra Streisand in it so I had to give it a shot. By the end of the movie I was in love. I had never seen anyone as talented as Ms. Streisand. It was like looking at theater threw new eyes. I immediately signed up for auditions for the spring musical and knew I would be its leading star!

WRONG.

Apparently I can't sing my way out of a paper bag. But lord knows that didn't stop me. I sang everywhere I went. When people tried to sing with me I sang louder. When I was in the car with my dad I would belt out Britney Spears, and NSYNC and any tune that caught my fancy. My apologies dad. I didn't realize what pain I had been putting you through! After living in the land of denial for almost 4 years I decided in college (after being denied role after role after role) that I was gonna audition anyways. I was having fun and lets face it, I definitely didn't go to a music theater school, so the talent was sparse at best. And you know what, my senior year was the best year ever because I was JUST HAVING FUN! I didn't care if I nailed the high note or harmonized the best, I just put all my energy in having fun with it and giving the best performance I could. 

Along the way I also found this passion for behind the scenes work that just took over. I assistant directed my first play sophomore year. I was in the Vagina Monologues every year and directed it solo my last year. I did backstage work for different shows and helped other members put together stuff for their shows. I LOVED IT. I felt important and needed and like I was doing something really really special. 

That was it! I had found my calling..........To bad it was a year after I graduated when I realized this is what I wanted to do with my life. Well now what do I do? I had my 900th emotional break down with my parents, I talked to multiple members of the family and my friends, and I even considered going back to school (which is still up in the air). But the one major thing that people kept telling me was you need experience. 

So experience I went to find. At first I went local. I did a stint with Framingham Community Theater. It was a rough start but slowly I got through it. Then I went on some professional backstage job sights and found a company out in Wakefield putting on a production of Spring Awakening and that they needed an Assistant Stage Manager. CA-CHING! Jackpot. First off, LOVE that show, secondly it was a win-win situation because I got to learn from the lead stage manager and if something went wrong I couldn't be blammed. I emailed the producer and told her I wanted in and that I was looking for experience and a chance to grow. She sent me an email back and told me that it was taken care of but that they always needed volunteers for show days. It was disappointing but I was looking for a foot in the door and was happy to get what I got. 

About a week later I got an email from the producer that said someone had dropped out and that they wanted to know if I could take over as ASM. SWEET! I was in. After meeting the director and the cast and sitting in on one rehearsal I was hooked. I had never worked with such an amazingly talented group of people in my life. Shocked and I mean Shocked was I when I got a phone call about two weeks in where the producer informed me that the Stage Manager had dropped and they wanted me to take her place. HOLY CRAP. I was so freakin nervous; this was my first legit gig and I didn't want to screw it up. She informed me that I was gonna do fine and that she believed in me. Well clearly I was a sucker cause that little bit of encouragement was all I needed to say yes. And let me just tell you BEST decision of my life. I had the greatest time, met the most amazing people, and worked with talent that could literally be on Broadway. I couldn't be any luckier. And my love of musicals and theater has just sky rocketed from there. 

 And with all this talk of love of theater let me introduce you to the hottie of the moment.......

Hottie of the Moment 

Jake Gyllenhaal

Ugh. Jake Gyllenhaal. What a panty dropper. Am I right?

Not only is he an unbelievably talented actor but, if we could feed the world off of his handsomeness I am positive that there would be no more world hunger. And apparently as if being in films is not enough, he is making his Broadway debut on August 24th at the Roundabout Theater in the play “If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet”. It is basically about this girl who is getting bullied at school and head butts her tormentors. Um awesome!

Gyllenhaal will play the girl's foul-mouthed uncle, who forms a bond with his struggling niece. AWWWWWW. I am already sobbing. I can't wait to see this and I am crossing my fingers that he will be at least shirtless once......ok maybe twice! Hey, a girl can dream.

K-Stew!?! More like K-Stupid

OK, So I am like a terrible Blogger. I haven't been on this thing in like a year. I think my last post was about Beyonce's pregnancy and I am pretty sure that kid is graduating pre-school as we speak. So I wanted to start this new post off right, and since I am a gossipy blogger I figured why not discuss the elephant in the room, or as I like to call it the skinny/I need to eat a sandwich/home-wrecking/DUMBEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE story. Kristen Stewat cheating on Robert Pattinson.

WHAT? WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

God Dangit K-Stew!

Its bad enough that your dating that hot little tart of a man, but you go behind his back and cheat with a man who is married...to a supermodel....with kids.  Now if you had a sassy gay friend this would never have happened.

How could you make such a stupid mistake. I am without a doubt  disappointed  and shocked. Or..well...I am disappointed. But seriously besides being the weirdest hipster/emo kid you had a pretty good thing going for you. Both you and Roberts awkwardness balanced each other out so that when you went into the world you assembled some sort of normalcy. But now your just asking to bring on a huge case of carnival crazy.

I can't even begin to tell you all the things wrong with this particular cheating scenario.

1.     She cheated

2.     She cheated on Robert Pattinson

3.     She cheated with her director

4.     She cheated out in public

5.     He was MARRIED

6.     To a Model

7.     With Kids

8.     And she is super gross

9.     SUPER gross (I thought it should count twice)

She wasn't even smart enough to cover her tracks. She just issued a public apology. What a dummy! At least have the class to deny it first and then pretend you don't know what their talking about and then finally admit it to a close personal friend who will leak the details to US Weekly. GOD! Do you need everything spelled out for you. Sheesh!

And with that thought lets move on to the Hottie of the Moment...........

Hottie of the Moment

Robert Pattinson

Damn! When he showers, and changes his clothes, and you know...generally tries, the man looks good! So chin up Robert. I am sure there are more fish in the sea. Plus I am 99% sure the he is either going to:

1.     Disappear for a year and pull a Joaquin Phoenix or

2.     Plow anything that moves!

And if that's the case sign me up for #2.

You Better Get Your Freakum Dress Let Out Because, SURPRISE Your Pregnant!

So if you have been living under a rock for the past 2 months you wouldn't happen to know that Beyonce Knowles is pregnant. She pulled that little stunt on the MTV Video Music Awards where she sung her little heart out wearing a flawless sparkly pant suit and then at the end of her number she drops her mic. OOPS by the way B next time you drop a piece of very expensive equipment that you don't own think twice. Ok so back to her performance; she drops the mic, undoes her jacket and rubs her tummy.

OK. My first thought was, OH, she's hungry, lets get her a sandwich. Did we get her a sandwich? Oh wait, what? She IS pregnant? Oh ok my bad!

HOLY CRAP. Yes I know! The legend, the diva, the bootylicious word creator is knocked up with senior Jay-Z's 87million dollar a year man spawn.

Lets just say for all intensive purposes lets hope the little tyke gets Beyonce's looks and Jay-Z's business savvy. No offense Z.

In other news Beyonce created a new fragrance called Pulse. And no offense to Beyonce, but most of her  fragrances smell, well, a little hookery. Heat was gross and I don't expect Pulse to be much better. Sorry B its just not for me:( But she went to her launch party in this beautiful blue sparkly mini dress with matching blazer. And can I just say for a pregnant women, she killed it!

She looked even more amazing than normal, if that is even possible. So that leads me into the hottie of the moment. And very well deserved indeed!

Hottie of the Moment

Beyonce Knowles

HOT! Thats all I need to say. There was a funny group on facebook that I found called, Be Yourself. Unless you can be Beyonce, then always be Beyonce! Words of Wisdom!

And What Was The Name of That Movie Again?

So today I was talking with my co-workers about the new Taylor Lautner movie that just came out. Now I have been seeing a lot of trailers for this movie, and each one was a little different. But what I get out of each is that the story line is generally the same. Taylor Lautner was adopted by Blah, Blah, Blah. His parents/not his actual parents are some sort of assassins, or CIA agents gone rouge, or really rich people who like guns but live in a glass house? Whatever.

So the parents/not actual parents did something to piss off the government or not government and now both sides are after the son/not actual son. We know both sides can't be trusted. And for some reason Taylor Lautner has all these martial arts/boxing/explosive/motorcycle/espionage skills.

OH OH OH and don't forget the girl. There is always a girl who doesn't really know whats going on but wants to help, oh and she can keep up just fine even though she has none of the aforementioned skills. You think she would slow him down, or get in the way, or even almost cause him to die because she is captured and used as leverage but NOOOOOOOOO.

Ok ok ok I think we all get the point. I'm sure people are not going to see this movie for the content! It's not going to win any oscars, and it certainly won't be cinematic gold, BUT who doesn't want to spend at least a hour and a half starring at a buff, sexy, sweaty, maybe even shirtless Taylor Latuner.

Which brings me to.................

Hottie of The Moment

Taylor Lautner

Damn!!!! The kid may be young but he is certainly FINNNNEEEE<3

I feel terrible. Almost like a perv, but I have to say it. I would Cougar the Shit out of this guy!:) What do you think?

So You Want to Start a Blog?

I have been repeatedly told my friends, co-workers, and family that my little quips and witty comments would make for a good blog. I do have to say, I have always wondered what it would be like to write down all my thoughts for someone to read........ok lets face it, probably no one. But regardless I have decided to take the plunge and start something new!

Lets start with the basics! I am a 20 something communications graduate who works as a secretary by day and a stage manager by night. I love the color purple, was a back up dancer for JLO, and once jumped 13 buses on a pink moped. HAHA. Just kidding everyone, I detest the color purple. 

Oddly enough when I graduated college my life didn't fall magically into place. I didn't get my dream job, my love life is.....well less then to be desired, and I have no idea what the next move should be.

But enough with the sob story. What I want most from this blog, I think, is to share my love of gossip, boys, and all things entertaining and funny with the readers. I want this blog to feel like you are talking with your girlfriend at lunch. No subject is too Taboo and I will always write honestly. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I do and hopefully I will keep up with it. 

Thanks for reading and subscribe if you like;)
