When I go to the gym, Scrubs is on. Too often I laugh out loud on the treadmill. I look pretty ridiculous I'm sure seeing as how there are individual TVs so nobody really knows what I am laughing about. Anyway, of all the Scrub openings I've seen, this may be my favorite. Happy Monday!

Oscars Fashion Recap
I am not a huge fan of the Oscars, but I do love the red carpet. I love seeing The those starring in nominated movies I have probably never seen dressed in their finest...or at least what their stylist thinks is their finest. Here are a few of my recaps from Hollywood's biggest night.
Gwenyth Paltrow
I loved Gwen's sleek straight hair. Her dress was daring. It had the exact amount of shimmer necessary for the Oscars. Any more and we would think Gwenyth was dressing up in tin foil to get her free Chipotle burrito on Halloween. I think the lesson here, is less is more and Gwen carried this out to perfection.
Reese Witherspoon
Reese had the potential here to look like every girl at my junior prom in a black and white ball gown. Luckily, she is Reese Witherspoon and was able to turn the bland into glam. The real difference here is the cut. The dress compliments Reese's figure perfectly unlike the straight boyish cut seen on my high school peers. Her mod pony-tail and emerald jewelry helped to make this a solid Oscar appearance.
Mandy Moore
This outfit is all kinds of wrong. First of all, what is with her center part ponytail. That was my signature hairdo when I was running late in 1999. Please Mandy, we don't need to go back there. The sudden explosion of tulle makes this dress look unfinished. I am not against off the shoulder looks (although when I see them my mind immediately thinks Aunt Becky from Full House) the tan almost blends in too well with her skin looking like bedazzled tattoo sleeves. I think Mandy would have benefited from a nice jewel tone.
Halle Berry
Wearing a similar dress to Mandy Moore, but completely claiming the look is Halle Berry. Can she do red carpet wrong? The angled look really helps the transition between the sequins and the tulle flow better.
Nicole Kidman
What was she thinking? This dress looks like a fancy napkin. Eek.
And for my top two...
Mila Kunis
The lavender color is perfect with Mila's dark hair. It is a different look as most go for Jewel tones or neutrals at the Oscars. Who would have expected someone to come in a pastel purple? Love it.
Amy Adams
The navy is really gorgeous with Amy's ivory skin and strawberry blonde hair. The sparkles really make this dress a stand-out. And who would have thought to put emeralds with it? Not I, but it works. Pure Glamour.

Bronx Mowgli and other dumb baby names
Today I have found out that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz filed for divorce. Although I am sad for them, the news reminded me of their child's awful name. Bronx Mowgli Wentz.
While sharing this name with a Good Friend of mine, we decided that if love should bring Ashlee and Pete back together and they again reproduce, they need to choose from the following selections for their new baby's name... to keep tradition alive of course.
1. Brooklyn Zazu
2. Manhattan Jafar
3. Queens Flounder
4. Soho Captain John Smith
In relation to this post, Good Friend and Good Friend's Man are beginning to talk about what they might name their baby if they should have one someday. Good Friend and Good Friend's Man have very different opinions. (Good Friend's Man seems to have a reason behind nixing every name)
I decided to give my input, so I told Good Friend they should name their baby Jumanji.
This was the convo between Good Friend and Good Friend's Man.
Good Friend: “Hannah thinks we should name our child Jumanji. Thoughts?”
Good Friend's Man: “She’s joking, right?”
Good Friend: “No, she thinks it is a classic name with spunk that pays homage to a great film.”
Good Friend's Man “I don’t even like that movie. No.”
Even the talented Robin Willimas can't please Good Friend's Man. Maybe the baby could be named Hook? or Bicentennial Man?
*note- Good friend is not with child.

Why I am happy to be a child of the 90s Reason #1 Dreamphone
My next few blog posts are going to be reasons I am glad to be a child of one of the most bizarre decades. The 90s.
I can't emphasize enough how much I loved the boardgame Dreamphone. It was pure joy.
I didn't actually own it.(my mom probably thought it wasn't ok for my 8 year old self to be calling "hunks" and figuring out they mystery of who my destined lover was) However, my babysitter's daughter had it (score) and when I would go over there, you best believe we were calling up some hotties on our Dreamphone.
It was a game of suspense as you figured out by the clues of your "friends" on the phone or the boys themselves who had a crush on you.
The boys would share helpful clues such as:
"He'll eat almost anything...except pizza" (ok, no pizza dates. big deal)
" He has fun wherever he goes...except the movies" (Movies...waste of time?)
And then sometimes your girl friend would call and share
"I just heard...it's not Gary" (Crap..who is it! Anticipation!)
The total letdown was when you would call one of the guys and they would say "I know who it is but I'm not telling. haha"
Ohhh...it just made you want to punch something! Tell me DREAM PHONE. TELL ME MY FATE!
I personally always hoped it would be Dan to tell me the winning words "You're right. I like you!"
Although I wasn't too picky, as long as I didn't get Jason.
What a dweeb!

The Bachelor
I can't say I'm a fan of The Bachelor. Or The Bachelorette for that matter. However, with all of the hype for this season's Bachelor, I decided to tune in. After watching the first half of this season's premiere episode, I decided my evenings will no longer be spent at ABC and here are the reasons why.
1. The hype was because Brad Womack had been a contestant on The Bachelor before and didn't choose anyone. The whole first half of the episode was dedicated to how he was a "changed man". It was very deep and they even interviewed his therapist (unnecessary) Ok, so he didn't want to marry those two girls, big deal. Isn't it better that he didn't marry them than divorce them quickly after? Or have another Jake and Vienna showdown? (That just got old) Anyway, I saw a ring on both of their hands so... obviously things worked out for them.
2. My biggest peeve with this show is that at least one of the girls HAS to think, "you know, he isn't really my type" but they never do. I don't get that? Oh what we do for fame.
3. Their first impressions out of the limo are so dumb! What was with the girl who summoned him to the car. I guess he'll remember who she is, but first impressions are everything. Sometimes.
4. You can't honestly tell me he wanted to keep vampire girl?
5. I'd rather be watching Gossip Girl.
What the Lilly?
Well, to all you Bachelor friends, enjoy your Monday nights with Brad Womack. You can catch me on the Upper East Side.
XOXO
