I'm Just Sayin'

While I have always said that electric cars are beyond moronic, especially when we don't even have enough power to keep the electricity going during a hot day. If the fact that the car should only be driven at 38 mph which means, no freeway, and it costs a lot more than even the Prius...never mind a practical car like a Focus.....the car needs to be recharged every 50 miles or so. AND if turning off one light a day will save polar bears, how about plugging in a car??? WTF? Are you kidding me? This is ridiculous!! Honestly, SOLAR powered cars would be smart, anything else doesn't solve the problem, it just switches it. Ironic is the commercial with the polar bear hugging the guy driving it, when they will actually kill more polar bears. It just goes to show that if something is marketed right, it will sell, even if it isn't helping anything. UGH.. I totally agree with what this guys said, his blog: http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2011/03/another-reason-not-to-buy-nissan-le...

http://www.animationinsider.com/2011/04/stephanie-olivieri/ Stephanie Olivieri Assistant animator/clean up artist-traditional, 2D, paper and pencil and storyboards (boarding, clean-up & revisions) What is your name and your current occupation? What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation? I worked as a waitress and an actress before animation, so nothing too crazy. What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? Hard to say, honestly I love everything I have worked on for different reasons. Feature films are fun because of how long you are with the characters and crew, commercials and shorts are fun because of the crazy hours and cartoony characters. How did you become interested in animation? I went to an audition for a Disney film and was doodling on...

Do you know someone in Hollywood that knows someone who knows someone who's related to someone who went to school with a guy who sat next to a guy who knows...such and such A lister? Seriously as if this isn't annoying enough~what about those people-you know who you are-that constantly brag about celebrities that they either have seen or "spent time with"? UGH...For those of us that live in Los Angeles and work in the film industry this happens all the time. It's part of the business. AND if you are bragging about knowing someone that no one has ever heard of, better to keep it to yourself. I mean what other industry does this? Do you ever hear of Josephine Office Girl in the midwest bragging about how she spent time with her CEO or client in the lift? Come off it. One guy I know is such a poser that he will go to a trendy and well known celebrity hotspot and then send out emails claiming he had dinner "with", Al Pacino, Bieber, and Steven Spieldberg all...

I love having a tree up!! So we still wanted the tree up and couldn't think of what to do for Feb. Valentine's Day is a kinda yucky-even for the most romantic types and president's day? Really? A tree full of presidents? Then came Feb 2nd and it came to me! GROUNDHOG DAY!! This is an official Phil right from PA. He looks cute, doesn't he? Early spring so we made sure there was no shadow! The roommate turned 30 in Jan, so that was an easy one! A birthday tree!~ I actually really love this idea as well. The tree looked awesome and festive! Oh yeah and just Christmas-sorry didn't get a good photo of this but everyone knows what a Christmas tree looks like. This year we went simple with just white and silver balls and white lights. The tree had class and elegance! St Patrick's Day is soon, and I will be posting photos!!

Yay! It's Oscar season again! So thrilled that 'True Grit' got 10 nominations including best picture-which in my opinion it deserves. Not sure what was wrong wit the HFPA that they ignored it completely, but am so happy today that it is getting the recognition it deserves. Yes the Coen Brothers seem to always have films up, but they are brilliant. I am still confused about Black Swan-but to each his own, I just wasn't a fan. I know all over Twitter today people are outraged by Chris Nolan getting snubbed, but I don't know. I think Inception was great, but not best picture great. That's just me. The Social Network was a great film, even if not entirely true to Zuck's real life to multi-billionaire status-it is a solid film. My prediction is that Social Network and True Grit will dominate-but it is anyone's game at this point! Here is the complete list. Oscar Nominations 2011 Best Picture 'Black Swan' 'The Fighter' 'Inception' '...

Ben Roethlisberger is a douchebag quaterback for the Steelers-like so many sports 'heroes' has been accused of sexual misconduct~I hate him, but have liked the Steelers as a franchise since I was a kid-now I don't know what to do? Cheer on the Packers? No way. Thing is I can't ever cheer on the Eagles because of Michael Vick, so I guess cheering on the Steelers is equally as bad. I'll be honest that until my brother-in-law made a joke on FB tonight about Cutler being hated more than 'Big Ben' & Vick, I really didn't know how bad he was. I knew he had once charge against him, but not several? WTF? I don't like many other teams, including the Lakers, (because of Kobe) because they seem to reward their players for rape and assault. So now I guess I will do something else on Super Bowl Sunday, because I can't cheer on a rapist or a Packer.
