Dear NBC

Dear NBC,

First of all, I want to say that this is really hard for me. We've been through a lot, you know. I've always considered you to be my favorite network. Remember all those times when I was younger, and I would sneak downstairs past my bedtime to watch SNL on Saturday nights? Or when I would watch Seinfeld with my dad, and both love and hate it at the same time? And remember when I got that black and white TV, and could finally watch Conan in my room past my bedtime. Oh those headphones I used were just ridiculous! For years nothing could tear me away from your Thursday night line-up. Well, during Joey we took a little break. But look at us now! We've got our Thursdays back, and for a while we were better than ever. I even forgave you when you put Leno on at 10pm, because you gave me the best present of all. Conan, my hero, was finally getting his due! You gave him the Tonight Show, and rightfully at that.
Now, I have never found Leno funny, but I understood that some of the masses liked him. I understood that you thought you were appeasing him, and that you thought you were doing something different. But really, what the fuck were you thinking? You knew this was never going to work. Leno's ratings have been declining for years, so what made you think that moving him up to an earlier time, thus eliminating all of your 10pm dramas, dramas like Law and Orders that were actually getting you and your local affiliates some ratings, would actually be a better situation? You never even gave Conan a chance. You led him down a path of destruction, and now it's your job to fix it.
Granted, Conan may be struggling with ratings right now, but that is your fault. Your 10pm lead in is screwing your news affiliates, and since the masses aren't watching the news, they're most likely not going to watch Conan. I don't know if you know this NBC, but not everyone is like me. Not everyone just watches Conan just because. Some people like to watch the Tonight Show because of the celebrity guests that are on it. And why would these people want to watch that twice in one night, especially when the first person sucks so much that they turn the channel and start watching cable instead. At the end of news, you hear, "Stay tuned for the Tonight Show." Many people listen to this order. But if no one is watching the news, then no one is listening. So this leaves you with only Conan faithfuls remembering to watch his show. And apparently that's not enough.
Look NBC, I really don't want to have to do this. You know how much I love my Thursday nights. But how do you expect me to continue on like this, when you keep hurting me so much? My heart just can't take it. You leave me no choice. It's Leno or me. Shh, don't you say that, NBC. You know I'll always remember our good times. I love our good times, but you know what you have to do. I'll be waiting.

Hopefully yours,
Mary Catherine

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Here's a quick update before I get to my big blog of the week, "The Worst People of 2009." First of all, I made some comments that it hasn't been cold in Chicago, yet. And now that it's December, it's getting colder. Thank god. I was worried it was all hype.

Also, I'd like to give myself a round of applause for adding another embarrassing moment to my repertoire this past weekend. I'm just giving my autobiographer, aka myself, more fuel for my tell-all book. I think it will be called, "Things I Could've Done if I Wasn't Puking." The publishers will like that one.

Also, I need to stop getting addicted to shows and then staying up all night watching them. It's an unhealthy obsession that will end now. Well, after tonight when I finish all of Veronica Mars. I just love sleuthing teens. I really just want a boyfriend like Ned Nickerson or Logan Echolls, and to drive a convertible. Ooh yeah.

Aziz Ansari is a Baller

I would love to have a meeting with Aziz Ansari, and I think it would go a little something like this...

Me: Hey! You're pretty cool.
Aziz: Yeah, I know. Did you know that I know Kanye West, and I frequently write on his blog?
Me: Yes, Yes I did know that. Did you know that I love Kanye West, and I think you're pretty funny?
Aziz: Yes, Yes I did know that. I am pretty funny.
Me: I like laughter.
Aziz: That's really great.
Me: Yeah.

Yeah, something like that. I just know we'll hit it off. I mean, right?!

Also, I have determined that although I mostly hate Philadelphia as a city, aside from you know some kids at UPenn, Will Smith, Bill Cosby, and It's Always Sunny, I may have to be a Phillies fan now. I mean my heart will always belong to the BoSox, and I'll be all about the Cubs in the spring, but at least for the next week I'll be rooting for those boyyyyyyyys.


Check out this site, too: www.laughyourdickoff.com. This is why I love him.

Kenny Ortega Rules, and Other News

So in watching Hocus Pocus just now, I have rediscovered that Kenny Ortega is in fact its director. In case you're unaware, Kenny Ortega is responsible for amazing movies like Newsies, High School Musical 1-3, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds, and the new Michael Jackson movie This is It. He is in one word, phenomenal. So here's to you Kenny. You made my childhood and my Zac Efron obsession what it is today, and for that I am eternally grateful.

Also, I knew it would be difficult to find a job out here in Chicago, but I definitely underestimated HOW difficult it would be. I have confidence that something will happen, and I already have a part time job at the G-A-P, but I def need some more cash flow. So just send out some posi-vibes my way. I could use them.

And I'd like to leave you with this amazing video of my boo James Franco. You may have already seen it, but watch it again. http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/6e3825a523/james-franco-gucci-commercial-outtakes?rel=auto_related&rel_pos=6

Another Thing I'm Excited About!

Oh, my. How could i forget?! Lil Wayne is going to jail! YAY!!! Weeeeeeezyyyyyyyyyyyy. Now I'll admit it, this may come as a shock to a lot of people, but I really don't like Lil Wayne. Tha Carter II was ok. Heck, Fireman is one of my faves. But, he's just straight-up garbage. I recall an interview in Vibe magazine where Weezy says, he "wants to be the next Bob Marley." Yes, I think my favorite Marley song was the one where he says he wants to "make it rain on hoes" or to make them lick his dick like a lollipop. Oh, wait...
Or maybe he wants to be like Bob Marley by fathering children by several mothers. Marley had three children with his wife, and seven with other women. (Marley also adopted two of his wife's kids from a previous relationship, which is actually a pretty baller thing to do. I'm always all about guys that do this.) So yes, at this rate, Lil Wayne will be the next Bob Marley, of baby-making.
To me, all of his music sounds the same, because he always talks about the same thing, and he always raps the same, and a lot of his beats sound the same. I just have never really been impressed by him, or his whole persona. Now he's got prison under his belt. At least he didn't really try to fight it. The judge was like did you do it, and he was all like Weezy, baby! And the judge was like I'll take that as a yes. Oh Wayne, now you'll def be able to get it lllllllllllllicked like a lollipop.

Hey, eat a dick! (I should probably work on this.)

Thing's I'm Excited About, '09

I haven't updated this, so now that i'm in the Mid-West, I feel obligated to, so I will.

These are just a few things I'm excited about:

1. So, i just found out that Ricky Gervais is hosting the Golden Globes! Sure, it's not the Oscars, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. He's a straight-up genius, and should host every awards show, including the Teen Choice Awards. That show could use a serious re-vamping anyway.

2. Amy Winehouse is back and crazier than ever! She's got implants, she's out of rehab and still drinking, and she's flashing papz all over London. I hope she makes another album. Her music is so much better when she's got some issues. I just hope she stays off the crack long enough to stay awake while recording. Or maybe crack keeps her up long enough to record an album. I'm still not sure of all the benefits.

3. Another celeb is shitting on Scientology! Paul Haggis has come out and said some pretty shitty stuff about those crazies, and although he's probably going to be zapped out of the galaxy by Xenu (correction, I claimed Xenu was like a Scientologist god, he in fact is the one who puts dark spirits inside of us, and L. Ron Hubbard is the one who knows how to get them out, check out this for more info... http://www.xenu.net/archive/scientology_illustrated/) at least someone is speaking out against them.

4. Filming on the "Untitled Batman Project" begins next year! (Sidenote, I just saw a commercial for a Batman marathon on ABC Family on Halloween, which is amazing.) I really can't wait to see Christian Bale shirtless again. I just hope that this isn't a disappointing third installment. I hate to see perfectly good franchises ruined by terrible third installments. I'm talking about you Spiderman and X-Men. These franchises could potentially be saved by an amazing fourth installment, but that still remains to be seen. Look how great Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was...

So that's all for now, more updates to come soon. I also need to come up with a sweet sign off. Something like, hey, eat a dick! Something sweet like that.

Blog Blog Blog, I'm a Woman

This whole blogging thing is interesting to me. In high school, I had a livejournal, but it always seemed so trivial and dumb. Trivial, because let's face it, who gives a shit about at 15 year-old catholic school girl except pedophiles and her 2 closest friends. And dumb, because I don't even think I really gave a shit about what I had to say back then. I didn't really have anything to say, except to talk about how I was feeling, but I was so nervous about who could read it, that I never said anything honest or real.
So this time around, I feel like my blog should have a purpose. To enlighten, to criticize, to admire, to do, oh I don't know, a whole lot of shit I can't even think of right now. But above all, I want it to be honest and real. I think I owe it to myself, and to everyone else to just say whatever I really think about whatever I choose to talk about.
On a side note, I do hate how blogs can just become a breeding ground for gossiping about other people in life, and I vow to not to do that. Because blogging about someone is no way to address your real problems with them. It can only make things worse. Therefore, I will only gossip about celebrities. And when I am a celebrity myself, I expect nothing less from the future bloggers of the world.
