Happy Memorial Day to all our troops past and present. Thank you for all you do and have done for this country. We salute you!! As does this blog!

Anyways, watching the Cubbies…on my new tv! My boyfriend gave me an early birthday present: a flat screen HDTV!!! He found a good deal on it, so he got it now, and figured I wouldn’t want to wait. So now watching tv is even better than before. Everything is so clear! It’s not my eye sight! haha But yeah, awesome gift from the bestest boyfriend evah! Now, all I need to do is switch to AT&T cable.

So, to start out the week, here are some things I am into lately:

-German Bands: Cinema Bizzare and Tokio Hotel

-Benefit Bad Gal Mascara in plumb. Great for green-eyed women and men!

-Gladiator sandals that lace up the leg. Well, gladiator sandals in general

-Maxi dresses

-Memoirs

-70s fashion advertisements

-Anne Hathaway movies

-Long walks

-Starbucks passion lemonade (perfect for summer!!)

-Tye-dye

Annnnnd that’s about it! It’s Lauren Conrad’s second to last episode of The Hills tonight. I need to stop watching. But I just can’t! I am, however, excited for several Bravo programs: Top Chef Masters and NYC Prep, which is the real-life version of Gossip Girl minus Kristen Bell’s wonderful narration. And of course, an actual gossip girl Web site!

I’m baaaack! Ha You would think being unemployed and all would mean blog-time aplenty, but apparently not. But that should all change. Popculturegrrrrrrrl is back and clearly way too excited about it. Anyways, just learned some shady things happening over at my former place of employment and let me tell you, I am glad I am gone! But otherwise, I am still on the hunt for a job and have been babysitting a lot, which is great. And reading and taking walks. And I finally now have a suit that matches. I bought one at Anne Taylor Loft, but the blacks were off. So today I went and brought the jacket with and found pants…on sale! Woo! They are a wee bit ill-fitting because they aren’t lowrise and if pants aren’t low rise they just don’t work on me. Well, that and I have a booty. But yes, matching suit. Hurray.

Next item on the agenda, catching up on TV: in a nutshell. Gossip Girl season finale sucked until the last 10 minutes, 24 season finale was lack luster, bawled at the series finale of Prison Break, loved Fringe, loved Lost, loved Castle, and loved Dollhouse. And Dollhouse has been renewed. YESSSSS! So excited! And Ugly Betty has been renewed and is moving to Fridays. The last couple episodes have been great. Typical Betty. And tonight…HENRY returns.

So who else is super excited for So You Think You Can Dance, which starts tonight?! I have a feeling future blogs will probably be devoted to the show. Also, is Swingtown coming back? Should I watch I’m a Celeb, Get Me Out of Here? Oh, and final two episodes, with Lauren Conrad on the Hills. AND Audrina and Chris Pine are dating? Um, what? She has ceiling eyes.

Went to the Cubs game over the weekend…was really fun. In the bleachers so it was tools galore. What is it with guys who feel the need to attend Cubs games with their collars popped, designer jeans, sunglasses they clearly stole from their sisters, and props. Seriously, one guy had a pipe. Like an old-man pipe. Um, what? Yeah, soooo lame.

Alrighty, more photos coming soon. I just need to find some cool ones that aren’t just of moi. And also,the new tv show Glee…is pure awesomeness! And loosely based after my high school’s show choir, which I was in with the tv show’s writer. LOVED the shout out to Ken Tanaka (RIP).

So recently, since the lay off, instead of throwing myself a pity party, I have a dance party. Lady GaGa usually does the trick. Seriously. I don’t think I will ever get sick of the song ‘Just Dance.” I wish I had seen her in concert when she was here. I heard it was amazing!

Anyways, SO, back to the grind. Now that I have time on my hands there is just no excuse for not writing on this thing. I mean how else am I going to become an Internet ‘it’ grrrrl right?! Right. So start leaving comments. Except if you are spamming me. I get liek a zillion ‘please moderate’ e-mails a day from spammers. Its beyond annoying. Or sometimes the comments get through and then things like Viagra and Cialis leave me comments. Awesome.

Tonight is Gossip Girl! Can we back track to last week for a second though. How fug was that dress that Serena wore to her mom’s party? For some reason, I feel like the wardrobe department always gets it right for Blair but its iffy with some of the things they throw on Miss Blake Lively. I mean yes, everything looks great on her, but that doesn’t mean the piece itself does. But anyways, tonight, more antics with Poppy and Gabriel. And Georgina. And fighting between Nate and Chuck. Sigh. If only my life were half as glamourous.

Anyways, I am in need for a good bronzer. Anyone know a good brand that is relatively cheap? Normally I would go to Mac, but you know, trying to save. I was thinking about trying the Ulta brand. Their products are usually good to me. haha

Rick Castle and Jack Bauer also are on the agenda tonight. As is fake drama on the Hills with the fake aftermath of the fake hook up between the Brodster and Audrina. Woo!

Pictureeeeesss. Sorry if they are repeats from Facebook.

 Bows. Headbands. Yes please.

All we care about is runway models, Cadillacs, and liquor bottles.
