Good Day Sacramento

So my mom was on Good Day Sacramento, this past Saturday morning. I told her, Id upload the video to my blog since she doesnt have one of her own.

No Thanksgiving Dinner /Safeway Game

So lets take a quick trip back to last year. We were sitting down to dinner, with our plates full of food. My dad, and Aunt Jeni looked over at me and said, "Kayla is that all your eating?" (as if half a plate of broccoli with cheese sauce, 2 amazing rolls, and a bite of layered jello isnt a meal!) Mitchell replied, "In case you havent noticed, thats what Kayla eats every year."
ps. We went to Safeway 4 times. Yes 4!!!

(Thanksgiving 08)

Now lets move ahead to this year. We went to Safeway 3 times. We played our traditional game of crazy grocery store photos, we played the Safeway Game, we played the car game at the church while getting chairs, Rheba got stuck trying to hop a fence at the Park game, we played Nertz, nobody was left at the bus stop, we loaded Evan full of candy, we missed Lauren and Skyler- and talked about how excited we are for the baby, etc, and we were still waiting for our next trip to Safeway. It was time to clean up and get ready for dinner. And then I found out the bad news. No broccoli. Thats okay, Ill go to Safeway. My dad said we really didnt need to take 4 trips. Doesnt he know that is the way the Safeway Holiday Game is played. He said Ill get over it. I said we at least needed to tie last years Safeway trip score. We didnt go. I then asked what I should eat. The rolls werent cooked right, but I ate one. And since I was getting sick, the jello wasnt sounding so good. So really I just had one roll. One roll thats it.

Uncle Tom!

(L-R: Mark, Tom, Jeni, Scotty, Rheba, Jeff, and Me)

This photo is from last night. I blogged before about just meeting my dads biological father, Granpa Dolman. Well this is my dads brother, Tom. See how identical there are, even though my dad has a few years on him. They have the same dad, not mother. My dad, and Aunt Jeni have the same mother and father. This was the second time we got to see him, in about a month. Hes AWESOME, and its amazing how genes work, cause he and my dad, and Aunt Jeni are so alike.
Uncle Tom even survivored a game of nertz!

So I parked outside the LIQUOR store

I went into Old Town Elk Grove on Tuesday to take my car back to the place I got my oil changed at, they skipped a step and I noticed. It is down the street from where I have been working super part time, the One To Another store. So I decided to stop into my work, so we can work on the schedule for all the extra hours next week and for December. I was noticing all the cops around and didnt think much of it. I parked right in front of the liquor store, which happens to be next door from One to Another, and across the street from the Brickhouse restaurant. I thought Ill only be in for a minute and I can see my car from inside the store. I already looked like a rag- a - muffin in sweats, and once brushed over hair and carrying my purse wouldnt add to anything. So I left it in the car. I was in the store talking and working on the work schedule when Sasha, my boss, and I noticed more and more police sirens, and the ambulance, and the firetrucks. We went outside and saw this man getting tazered 8 times. The police officer actually said it took a total of 15 zaps. The entire street was blocked off from 2nd to Waterman. And my car couldnt go anywhere, literally a cop car was about an inch away. (Ill figure out how to upload the pics from my cell phone!) And the man in this pic was about 4-5 feet from my car. Apparently it was an undercover drug bust gone bad. My mom was down the street at her funeral chapel, so since I was literally watching everything unravel- I was giving her the play by play.

On the bright side- it was another story that they took to the city council, as to reasons why the proposed tattoo parlor should not come in. We want to keep our town safe, and family friendly, and not have drama like this brought on from business at a tattoo parlor.

On a funnier side- I had open bottles of beer in the trunk of my car, like 6. And honestly they have been there for two weeks. I took recycling into this place, cause its an easy way for my sisters high school band program to get more need money. And I missed those ones somehow, so they have just been there. (So, if you read this and dont recycle bottles or cans- PLEASE DO. Ill even come collect them for the COHS band.) Good thing I didnt need to open my trunk!

I was able to leave about 45 minutes later.

Rhebas Homecoming!

Just a quick photo of Rheba and her Homecoming date, Ryan.

(Since my mom doesnt have a Blog, I get to blog about Rheba)

More fun to come!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUNTER!

This cute little boy is Hunter! Today is his first birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

(this photo I took of Hunter one day when we were at Home Depot- he begged to get in!)

Hunter belongs to one of my best friends Breann. Breann and I met in the Summer of 2004 when I started school at BYUI. Since then she got married, to her missionary Philip. I thought Phil was real cute, so we would trade back massages so I can keep some photos of him in my room! And as she went on friendly dates with others, I told her if it didnt work with Phil I would give him a try. But- they are perfect for eachother and Im happy there fairy tale came true.

(Hunter at the Beach in California for his first time!)

My family loves Breann, and Phil, and their families too! That first day in Idaho, Rebekah even ditched me for Breann while unloading my stuff. Hunter means a lot to our family, as he and my brother share a name. My parents even flew me out for a visit last year when he was born. We love this kid, and wait semi unpatiently for that daily pic or video of him! We love the Duffins! Me especially- as they made Idaho a more enjoyable place for me.

Today Breanns sister, Brook, my also former roommate had a baby girl, Kaolin. She and Hunter share a birthday. I think that is so cool and special for them. Kaolin isnt ready to come home yet due to some problems, so we will continue to pray for her and the Waggoner/ Lewis family.

(Hunter taking a nap on Aunt Brook while she was preggo)

Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day Weekend and my dads birthday and to start birthday week for me we went camping at Rucker Lake. Here is a pic of me, Lauren, and Skyler! I missed them all summer.

old photos...

college GRAD

I graduated from college the other day. Got my Bachelors of Science in Health. It was a normal day, woke up, went to my last class, took a test, went to say bye to those at work, did my clean check, packed my room, had dinner with two of the best roomies anyone could ask for, and left Idaho. I stopped in Utah before heading home to California, and had a fabulous time. I came home to tons of signs saying, CONGRATS, ADIOS IDAHO, etc.

Now I just need to unpack.

The Proposal...

I just want to take a minute and blog about what I want my proposal to be like! Not that it is going to happen anytime soon, I think. I have the go big or go home idea. Go big- propose to me at a sporting event, or concert, on the jumbotron or light banners (see photo!), a blump, through Sports Center, by doing this I am more likely to say yes. Go home- propose to me the car, at the gas station, the grocery store- something simple like it comes up in conversation. I do not want flowers, I do not need a garden or beautiful scenery, or candles, and he doesnt even need to be in a tux. If its something too cheesy and the way that everyone gets engaged at BYU I am most likely going to say No, and try again. Just a future warning.

I also remember that when I started college my parents said that if I made it through without getting married, I can have Steak at my wedding. Well, heres to the last month of my undergrad! I dont forget anything, especially when steak is involved.

LAKERS WON!

This wont be an extensive post. But I just want to point out that the LAKERS WON. I have watched every game, every team, since round one- faithfully. (And to be 100% honest- I wanted the Trail Blazers to take it- but that didnt go far.) And regular season games, for certain teams. I have read all online articles, and have always given my full attention to Sportscenter. I was disowned from my family. I got threating text messages. I feel in love with the Kobe/ Lebron commercials. I lost sleep, and maybe some friends. And I sure as heck, shared all my problems with my dad on that game, when Orlando got their one win. But look who gets the last laugh now----- ME!

LAKERS WON. LAKERS WON.

Grandpa Dolman

So this afternoon I met for the first time my Grandpa Dick Dolman (my dad's dad.). He is so charming and wonderful. He was on a long roadtrip from Alaska and took a detour to come see me in Idaho. We went out to lunch and spent a long time talking. He and I have so many things in common. And I see pieces of me, Abbie, Rheba, and my dad in him. It was a fabulous way to spend my afternoon.

Wheres Rheba?

Finding Rheba this summer might be harder than finding Waldo. She is leaving for her Mandrains Drum Corps tour, tomorrow I think. She will be missed. And maybe a party will be thrown. (j/k Rheb!) Course, I wont realize that she is gone, till I go back home at the end of July. I am very proud of her, and her ability to like band, and play so many instruments. I just dont know why she was to be a band geek, ALL SUMMER LONG. Have fun on your tour!!!!!

This photo was strategically picked: Wheres Rheba?

I think that this was at a pre- tour camp.

Almost a Homework Excuse?

This is a recap of this morning, and why I was almost in need of a homework excuse.

6:00am- Alarm goes off. What? I just got to sleep!
6:00am- SNOOZE.

7:02am- make/ eat breakfast. OMLETTE, HASH BROWN, FRESH FRUIT. ya right, I had Cereal.
7:07am- walk in room, and turn on fan (who knows why, maybe I just wanted to push the buttons.)
7:08am- sit at desk, hear paper fall behind bed. CRAP.

7:10am- CRAP. Think of a way to get needed paper, from behind bed.

7:46am- urge to crumple paper, and throw across room.

Graduating, Music, and Dark Clouds

Graduating:
I am 6 weeks, and 1 day away from Graduating from College. It has been a long time coming, since I graduated H.S. in 2004. I had some detours, some heated moments in the registration/ housing/ and honor code offices, changed my mind a few times, and sometimes enjoyed the social life to much. I will get my B.S. in Health Science, with a minor in Biology. Now when I join all the other billionaires of the world, I wont be like Bill Gates, who dropped out of Harvard, as well as all the others that never finished. Now I have to finally pick a grad school, and decide what I am going to do?

Music:
I really want to go see a band named, Phish. And I am currently searching for amazing seats at the Mountain View show. Course the show at the Gorge in Washington is capturing my attention a whole lot more as of late. (I realize more and more everyday, how much I am like my dad. I think I got his taste in music too. If you were to only see my iTunes list, and what I listen to on Pandora.)

This boy told me the other day that I am not friendly, because I walk around campus with my iPod on. Maybe Im just not looking to add people to my contact list right now. Or maybe I am thinking about something else. Or maybe I dont want to talk to anyone at that very moment. Or maybe I want people think that I am in a music daze. (Thanks Creed and Emily for all the music when starting my iTunes.)

And for the record, I would rather have the largest music collection (even bigger than my Uncle Byron's), than book collection. Later on, down the road, hopefully, Id be able to fund it. And I would rather, sit around listening to music, than watch TV or read a book.

My theme song probably still is, Smile LiKe You Mean It- The Killers, and Bad Day- Daniel Powter. Although I am almost partial to the Chipmunks version, after watching Alvin and the Chipmunks so much with Preston and Nate last year. I have yet to get the soundtrack, and I wont admit if it is or isnt on my, "To Purchase List." I will admit though, that sometimes when I walk around I hear a song, and think that it should be added to the Soundtrack of my Life.

Dark Clouds:
Ive always thought that a dark cloud follows me around. And sometimes I am the only one that sees it. I do however, want to know, when I moved to Seattle? Cause all the forcast shows is rain and thunderstorms. And thats all it has done for days, except when the sun pops out for that one hour, as a joke. And, I always used to think that I would melt in the rain, cause I am made of sugar. But, over the weekend as I sat in the pouring rain at the Madison Lionz football game that was proved otherwise.

Brett Favre, Green Bay, and a Bubble BOY

I am still waiting, just like everyone else, for Brett Favre's football decision for this upcoming season. I have feelings both ways for him playing or not. If he does go to the Vikings, I will be a temporary fan, like I was of the Jets last year.


A quick story: So I met this boy back in 2007 in my Paramedicine Trauma class, and we are just friends. I have no plan of ever liking him, cause we have non of the same interests and I just dont. We have a class together this semester, Epidemiology and sometimes we'll study together. He texted me not to long ago, asking if I wanted to study that evening. I polietly said that I cant. He asked, "why?" I said that I was watching Sportscenter. (Like I do most days, for an inch closer to reality, since I curently reside in a bubble. And cause it is one of my most favorite of shows.) He said, "Sportscenter?" I said yes, and its Brett Favre coverage right now. And he said to me, "Whos Brett Favre?" After regaining consciousness and pulling the knife out of my heart, I then began to question the friendship. Does he live in a bubble? Obviously! What boy, let alone person doesnt have the faintest idea of who he is. I understand that you dont have to be a fan, let alone like him, but at least know who he is when you are speaking/ friends with someone that thinks the world of Brett Favre and Green Bay. I contemplated deleting him from my phone, but my goal is to be more christlike, so I didnt.

Dad- The Vikings play Green Bay on Monday, October 05, in Minnesota. I think that we should go- maybe for a family trip. (Or just you and me!)

I will NOT waste my energy!

For the record: I am not planning on running or walking in a marathon, full or half in the near and distant future. I will be using and expelling my energy in better ways. I will also gladly support anyone from the sidelines.


Mother- yes, I go on runs, and I do go to the gym, but it is for no other reason then to dispell the chip that sometimes/ permanetly lives on my shoulder.
And yes, on my run the other day- I was basically hit by a CAR.

Blast from the Past Photo! Fall 2007

This photo was found at my work. Took me back to the Fall of 2007, the weekend before my 21st birthday. This was a athletic retreat for that semesters directors. I left school shortly after.

The Color Purple?

Has anyone every seen me wear purple? I did at one point in my life- but not lately as in the last 8 or so years. I think that it is the one color I cant stand with a passion. But I was given a purple shirt at Easter, and being me, I was grateful, cause I was. And well, the shirt became a bed shirt. And the other night, Friday night, I wore this purple shirt, with a monster face on it, and the words, "I bite" (one of those AE graphic tees). I wore it, with black LC pants, and I looked like a Kings fan(cause I am, until they stink up the season- and I choose to root for another team). I went to bed, I didnt set my alarm, and I woke up later than I wanted. I needed to take a test by a certain time, so I rolled out of bed. I took off my pants, and put on jeans. I was barely awake so I didnt realize I was still wearing my bed shirt. I didnt brush my hair, and I was still in the day befores makeup. I grabbed my car keys and drove to the testing center. I was about to walk into the door, and I hear my name being called. I turn around, and it sure as heck was the boy I used to like. And he wanted to talk. Being polite, I did. And the entire time, all I could think was, why am I wearing this stupid purple shirt, and I should have brushed my hair. I should know better to go out in Rexburg, the town of finding your eternal companion, looking like I did. Lesson learned .

Why am I searching for a New Family?

So, I have been voted out of the family. Which is technically not possible cause we arent camping, so we cant therefore be playing Survivor. The reason why, cause I am rooting for the Lakers. I did start the season a Kings fan, then they stunk. Then I went wanted the Trail Blazers, but they got knocked out. So know I want the Lakers to win. And some members of my family have a problem with that. I am not a permanent fan. Im not. I was told to find a new family, and have been disowned. I have been watching every basketball game, Lakers or not, for the last month. And I sure as heck, am ready for the Lakers to kick the Cavs trash. That is if they make it. Our house/ My former home will once again be divided. (my roommates think I am nuts, when it comes to sports. They tell me to stop watching Sports Center, or PTI, or everything else on ESPN. We the TV gets turned on and channel 24 comes up- they know I was watching it last.)

How I lost my DRESS!

This is a conversation between my mother and I after church the Sunday I was home on break.

Mother- So Kayla, do you like your dress?
Kayla- Yes, why do you not like it?
Mother- No, I like it.
Kayla- THANKS.
Mother- Are you planning on wearing it again?
Kayla- Yes
Mother- oh.
Kayla- (strange look)
Mother- Can I have it?
Kayla- why?
Mother- cause I want to make napkins out of it.

That is the story of how I lost my dress. Then Rebekah calls me the next week saying she is wearing once before it gets cut up. So then I had to go buy a new one, to replace that one. Its really nice. I thought about posting a photo, but I am scared my mom might want it for something else. She asked me to take a pic, but after talking to my dad if I send a pic of anything Ill be in a plastic bag. Just in case.

Hematology and Lipid Profile Lab

I had gone so long without passing out in class. And it happened today, in Lab. We we getting blood drawn by the teacher to run some tests. He asked if I had ever passed out before. I said, "yes". He asked why and I told him I have a seizure disorder. He said not to worry, cause he has only not caught someone once. How reassuring. Sure did pass out. I woke up on the other side of the classroom. He said he saw it coming, and I was the palest he had ever seen someone. (thats me though- if I am going to do something, I want to do it well.) Two nice boys carried me across the room. My lab test did go well though. Here are my healthy results:

Total Cholesterol- 104, desirable is under 200 mg/dL
LDL Cholesterol- 32, optimal under 100 mg/ dL
Total Cholesterol/ HDL Ratio- 1.9, desireable under 4.5
HDL Cholesterol- 54, low is under 40 and high is above 60 mg/dL
Triglycerides- 91, normal under 150 mg/dL
Fasting Blood Glucose- 86, normal under 100 mg/dL

For times sake I wont make a list of all the other times I passed out giving blood. I wont even share the story of my first blood drive experience when my dad thought I was seizing in the chair, and how he almost didnt let me go to Ryan Cains bday party cause of it. I wont even share the stories of all the other times Ive passed out either, non blood related.

Spring Semester

I know that it has been a while, and honestly I dont recall where the time has gone. For some reason it is a blur. It is finally Spring Semester, and cross my fingers Ill still graduate at the end (JULY 23!) I have decided though that I am not going to walk in commencement. I spent a lot of time thinking about it, and I am happy with my decision. This semester I am taking Anatomy and Physiology part 2, PreMed Physics, Epidemiology, World Religion, and Community Health. I also started working again, so that is super exciting.

More posts to come!!!

Does KaYla know how to read?

So if you have met me, you probably know that I am not one to read. Well, I read textbooks, and magazines, and my scriptures, and celebrity gossip online, and sports articles, but that's it. I cant tell you the last book that I read just to read. Some people have asked me what my favorite book is, and I reply Enders Game. Maybe its cause the actual only reading book I read in High School. (but I did enjoy it, and read it voluntarily a second and third time) And just so everyone knows, I rebelled against the summer reading program. So anyway, there I was at Borders and I was committed to buying an actual book. I bought a book, about a brain surgeon, and her life working at the hospital. I actually read it, and enjoyed it. I bought another similar type of book, and read it. But I dont feel the need to rush out and get another book anytime soon. Unless the book is written by the writters of the OC, in an attempt to keep the story line going. I will be first in line, and maybe comparible to a Twilight (still going strong having not seen the movie, FYI) fan who then doesnt sleep till the book is over.

This brings me to the point of the post... I wont go on forever about how I miss the OC, cause everyone knows I do, and the special place that it holds in my heart. But last night in my dream, I was reading. Whered that come from? Its okay, I was apparently reading a book about the OC.

New Friends

I thought that it was going to be hard coming back to school seeing as most of my friends moved on and left Idaho while I was on suspension. I was really used to how things were. So much about the campus has changed too, and the way that the school is run. Some of the changes I knew were coming, cause I sat in a meeting with Pres. Clarke and a member of the CES Board to see the new building plans, and be one of the first to hear of the new Learning Model. (I used to be the student Competitive Sport Director, after a long time in the program and as a participant I climbed that ladder.) But anyway, some would say that I am a social butterfly, so coming back to Idaho and starting fresh in the friend department wasnt what I was looking forward too. When I first started the semester I was in a complex called Mountain Pines (but there is a long story for later), and after about 10 days I moved out, and back to my favorite place to live, TUSCANY (where I have lived most my time here in Idaho). I remember walking in to met my new roomies with Skyler and Lauren and I was a little scared. But honestly they are by far the best roommates that I have ever had. Let me tell you about Haley. She is from Texas/ New Mexico, and my first thought of her was that she was a CRAZY. There are no words to describe the decor in her room, the things she says, her personality, hows shes the RS president, and everything about her. She is however, so lively and full of spunk, and is going to make an incredible missionary. (she and Rheba have similar qualities) You cant help but LOVE Haley. I wont blog on the rest of my roomies, but they are incredible too! I can write so many stories on them and the things that we have been through this past semester. Like all the late nights we have spent talking, and talking, and talking. In the hallway, the bathroom, the living room, our neighbors living room (cause we are friends with them too), sidewalking, everywhere. I have lost more sleep due to late nights, and early classes. But I would take it back for anything. I am so grateful for new friends I made this semester.

Here is a picture, from one night they decided to do my make up like a girl in a magazine. Stephanie (from the Fresno area) is on the left, Terren (from Michigan) in the middle, and then me (from the fabulous Elk Grove, CA! ) on the right. We are in the car in this picture, about to go to Horkleys!

Have you ever had this experience?

Doniac Schvice (DOE-nee-ack sh'-VICE) ... is that experience when you are coming home and you hear the phone ring and you fumble for your keys to get the door unlocked - and when you finally get inside and to the phone - right then and only right then, it stops ringing.

Doniac Schvice, was also the title of an official newsletter put out by the band Phish (that I am a new fan of). But it hasn't gone out since at least Spring 2000.

FLASH BACK TO 2005....

So I was sitting in my Environmental Class today, and I was paying attention to the lecture to the best of my availability. We were talking about Perc Testing and water, and sources of it, and filtration, blah blah blah. I have already learned about Perc Testing. I took a Water Quality and Sanitation class back in the fall of 2005. So this section had been a little bit of review for me. Well my teacher wanted to show pictures of a class carried out Perc Test and he happened to pick the pictures from the class I was in with him years ago. I probably wouldn't have noticed that I was in the photo cause I sit in the back with my amazing back row friends and we weren't paying 100 percent attention. Thanks to my teacher though he pointed it out, and it gave me a good laugh. He also made the lecture available to us online, so I snagged the photos. In the first pic you can only see part of me. And the second photo I am conducting the test.

Thank you mom and dad for paying my tuition... so I can dig in the dirt!

Happy Birthday Mother!

Happy 37TH Birthday Mother!
I love you!I found thisphoto and thought that you would enjoy it!

Pranks

So here in Idaho my roommates and I have been in a semester long prank war. The other day we come home from the ward activity to find this:All of clothes in either the living room or hallway. Not just the clothes that were hung up and put away, but the dirty, the undies drawer (who really wants boys touching that. not me.), ALL of it. It sure was fun sifting through it all. Cause 6 girls means a lot of clothes.

And yes. Thats our upside down furniture.

AND..... whered our Toliet Seats go? We have two toilets, and they took both seats. And turned off the bathroom water.
Theres more.... The cookies that were on the tile in the bathroom.
And the labels that were on our canned goods came of. Afterwards we had to play "Guess the CAN". Good thing they caught us the day before grocery shopping.

What-else : The color die in the shower. The missing silverware. And not just to us but the girls on the other side of our towers floor.

So what did we do to deserve this? Two weeks ago we left church during Sunday school and moved there living room furniture to the corner, down the street from the temple, so they can see it as they drove home.
But why did we do that? Cause even though we live on the second floor the managed to snoop through the window during our never ending girls night sleepover- with a mask and try to scare us. When I figure out how to upload the video I will.
And why did we deserve that... the story goes on and on.

Fun Idea: Pay it Forward...

I got this from Krishelle Duffin- so it ought to be fun!

The first five people to leave a comment on this blog will receive something made by me. However there are some limitations.

1. I make no guarantee that you will like what I make.
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year.
4. You have no clue what it is going to be, poetry, clothes, paper goods, or a little invention of my own. I may bake something and mail it you . Who knows? Not you that's for sure!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

Here's the catch, if you choose to do this. You must post this on your blog and be ready to make something for five people too. This will be fun! When you receive the fabulous item I make you, you must post a picture of it on your blog.

energy!

How hard is it to really turn a light off when you leave the room? Seriously this is one of my biggest pet peeves, when people dont.Talk about a waste of energy.

EXPOLRING REXBURG!

After watching baby Hunter, we decided to explore Rexburg some more, since there was no boarding for us today.

We went to the AmericInn to check out the themed rooms.
We went to this dairy place called D's Dairy Delights. It reminded Lauren and I of this place in Canada we love called Cows. We sat and shared stories about that trip with our Grammy to Skyler. We mainly talked about all the bloody noses I got, and the hours we spent FORCED to write in our journals. NO pic, sorry.

We also went to Rexburg Motor Sports. And tested out the ATVs. We wanted to get the Polaris Ranger! And Skyler really wanted a motorbike. The pic isnt on the polaris, too bad.
We then drove around, and found the perfect place for board jumping. At the skate park.

Baby HUNTER!

I love baby Hunter. He is so dang cute, and doesnt cry. He just loves to smile at you and be held. Breann and Phil were in Rexburg today, to attend the temple and let me watch him. Actually Lauren, Skyler, and I watched him. We all love him so much! My family loves him too, and are jealous of all the time that I get to spend with him.

Here are some photos!

Starting a BLOG

This is what I am up to NOW. Advanced Anatomy, Microbiology, Environmental Health, Eternal Marriage, and Pregnancy. And I volunteer at Madison Hospital. I also do homework, laundry, sleep, eat, FHE, check other peoples blogs, watch my shows, go to the gym,activities in the snow, check my celebrity gossip, and maybe some other things.
