My imitation of me
Hey you guys. Don’t be scared by the new design. I’m still the same old gal except now my name is Debra and I enjoy putting together fruit baskets. Not eating them, cuz I’m watching my carbs, but designing them. Edible bouquets, I call them. Sometimes other gals will ring me up, you know, on the old telly and I’ll be like MARGE it’s for you because I always assume when someone’s buzzing us on the horn that it’s gonna be for MARGE because she’s popular and spells her name in all caps. MARGE I say, yelling at the top of my lungs, PICK UP THE PHONE. She never does though because she died four years ago. Bet you didn’t see that coming. Frankly I didn’t either. I thought she was still in the other room painting her toenails and being a royal pain in the ass with the way she’s always talking about Italy.
Anyway, so Ma Bell is just blowing up and no one’s answering. Who could that be giving us a jingle jangle? Who’s buzzing? What the hell was I talking about? Dammit I forget. Oh yes, sometimes ladies will give me the old honkaroo wondering if I can design a randy fruit basket for a bachelorette party and that is where I draw the line. No funny stuff with bananas. That’s not the kind of business I run.
But none of that was what I was going to say and none of that is my imitation of me. My imitation of me is as follows. Oh and by the way this is my imitation of me while working on the new design for the blog with Andrew Mager who is awesome:
Hey so do you think we could try this photo instead?
Wait, what about this one?
Hm, I thought I would like that one but what about this one?
Hm, what do you think? Let’s try this one.
Don’t hate me but could we try this one?
I don’t know what I want to see there, can you make a collage? Of all of them? But not that one? How about this one?
Wait, what about this one?
GOD DAMMIT WHERE IS THAT DUCKLING PHOTO? This is all MARGE’S fault.
Oh, you haven’t gotten up to pee all day and your butt just fell asleep? Ok, how about one more quick thing? How about just this photo?
And by that what I mean to say is that if you’re working with me you get to see a lot of photos of me and that is truly its own reward.
More photos!
More photos you guys! It’s truly a banner Saturday for you!
Here I am on Red Eye being all smiley.
Here I am being thoughtful.
Here I am making this face.
Yep, another face.
Here I am on Red Eye the week before looking like I was suffering some kind of allergy attack although I don’t think I was.
Did I already post this photo?
Some shots from Friday’s Red Eye
Here I am in the green room just being all ravishing and stuff.
And then here I am in the newsroom where I was seated for the first couple blocks of the show.
“Blocks,” that’s real TV talk. Did I lose you? No? Let me try harder: camera. top of the show. makeup. um… lights… uh… er… um… wait, come back in a few minutes. I need to think more about this.
Still in the newsroom.
Yep, newsroom.
NEWSROOM!
And then I came into the studio and made this face.
And then apparently I laughed so hard my left eyeball popped out.
More photos from Red Eye last night
Here’s where I made this thoughtful face.
And then here’s where I smiled in a way that looks nothing like me to me.
And then here’s where I said I tested positive for Stockholm Syndrome but had gone on to lead a rich and rewarding life. (The truth is that I had to get a mole removed but Stockholm Syndrome was the only thing insurance would cover!)
And then here’s where I said something else.
And then something else. Not sure what but pretty sure it was brilliant.
And then here’s where I was about to say something amazing.
And then here’s where I said something that made everyone start clapping and crying.
And then here’s where I ate my upper lip.
a couple green room shots
“We look like bobble head dolls,” said Josh. Well, maybe he actually only said he did but I do too here. I didn’t realize I had the bobble head filter on. Also, this is the same green room as Geraldo uses. Did I mention I was on Geraldo? A bunch of times? (Not on the show a bunch of times, but mention it a bunch of times?). Why just tonight when Patty Ann Browne asked what I did for the Oscars, I said: “Geraldo!” Then I puffed up in a self-important fashion while Greg made an off-color joke. Also of note is the way this green room’s walls are actually green. How cliché.
Incoming: crapload of photos
With Natali Del Conte and Anna David. Note the way my left earring wants to go back to the other room.
Here are some shots from Red Eye.
I think this is where it’s dawning on me that Greg is introducing me but forgetting to say my name.
Yep.
Right.
And then I called him on it.
Because I’m fun like that.
Here’s a photo you’ve probably seen before but I have it three times on my computer. It’s as if the photo wanted to be posted again.
Here we are at Artie Fuqua’s bday party after Red Eye.
From left to right: Joshua McCarroll, Artie Fuqua, Anna David and me. Please note the way I look surprised by this photo even though I’m pretty sure I’m the one who took it.
“Hey Anna, let’s take MORE photos of ourselves.” Oh oh oh! You know how I’ve talked on here before about how my nose and cheeks turn red for no reason? And by no reason I mean when I feel any sort of emotion whatsoever? You can kind of see it happening here. And I think the emotion I was feeling was “OMG, some guy just asked me if I was a magician because I tried to ask him about card shuffling because he was doing magic tricks near me and what have I become?”
Note: Anna is sick of me posting photos of her in her winter wear but I think they’re so cute!
Showing off the hot new hat trend.
With my friend Mikelle on New Year’s Eve in Orange County
Every photo I’ve uploaded to this blog
So evidently every photo I’ve ever uploaded to this blog is available in a photo album. I’m trying to figure out where to put this permanently on the blog. You know, trying to figure out what kind of blog real estate to give it. The real estate market is at an all time low though, so I’m thinking I might give it five row houses and a storefront. I’ll likely give it the worst set of five row houses plus storefront on the best block, as opposed to the alternative, because I hear that’s what you’re supposed to do.
Oh and by the way the breakdown is roughly:
photos of me from TV: buttloads!
photos of animals: not saying there aren’t any
photos of ducklings specifically: totes
photos of me playing guitar thus proving I was in a band. Hey, did I mention I was in a band: a goodly number
photos of the beach: a smattering
