It seems that you don’t always get free stuff if you work on a TV show.

The stage manager for Lipstick Jungle was caught stealing $30,00 worth of designer clothing. Apparently she had been Ebaying the items for some extra cheddar. Unluckily for her, employees of French design Sylvia Toledano caught her red handed and she was turned in.

Why in the world would you sell designer items instead of keeping them?

Ty has just made the cutest new additions to their TyGirlz Collections: Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia.

Sound familiar? Well you should, they’re Obama’s little girls! The plushies are modeled after the 7 (Sasha) and 10 (Malia) year olds. However, the misses disapproves of the dolls stating:

“We believe it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes.”

Have to say I do agree. While they are model citizens for young girls (unlike Bush’s girls), that doesn’t mean you can cash in on their popularity.

And I’m not talking about “LAN parties”, not really at least.

Kotaku writer AJ Glasser wrote a step by step walk through on how to throw a successful gamer party. Honestly, I didn’t think there was much to it but he does make out some good points such as

Do: Serve things that can be eaten quickly with one hand – usually during a loading screen (pizza rolls, hard candies, gamer grub).
Don’t: Serve anything that will leave stains on your controllers or splooge all over the floor (Cheetos, pizza, mochi ice cream balls).

I’ve never thrown one myself but I think for my 20th birthday I will have a “LAN party”.

John Hagel and John Seely Brown at Newsweek has put out the word that WoW has built a path of innovation for the work environment. Sounds a bit crazy but they have an interesting angle.

They’re looking to incorporate common MMORPG (massive multi player online roll playing game) features like experience system, custom dashboard that display real time employee progress, and team building tips that are used in player created guild structure of the title.

Not exactly what I thought when I first read the article but it is interesting. On the other hand, WoW has made me more productive as I try to finish a lot of work early so I can have more time to play at the end of the day.

I had no idea what to do this week so I asked my boyfriend and he said (go figure) sports. While I’m not as fanatical as some, I do like sports.

I played a few in high school and absolutely loved it (volleyball and soccer). It’s such a shame that I had to grow up and stop playing. For a little girl, I was pretty aggressive.

Anyways, here are my favorite male sports players. Note that they’re based more on skills than looks. Ha!

Oh snap, it’s finally out. The patch we’ve all been waiting for that’ll let you open clams while you’re riding a vehicle, sitting, mounting, stealthed and invisible.

Okay that’s not really the special party but Blizzard did fix a few things in this patch in addition to a sexy new interface. I am now able to make death knights on any server which is pretty freaking bad ass but don’t expect me to change servers any time soon.

Who would have known Blizzard would be so Asian friendly?

Playing WoW yesterday, I noticed that there are Lunar Festival Emissaries in all the major cities. By talking to them you’ll get a quest to go talk to other emissaries which then leads to more quests involving fireworks and killing a demon.

It was completely unexpected and while they didn’t go all out like they would for Christmas and New Years, it’s still a nice touch.

“Did you want me to autopsy your watch?” –Ducky (NCIS)

Inspired by previous Tara’s Fab Fave, I decided to list out my favorite things to do to kill time. I rarely ever have time to waste but when I do, it’s the greatest thing ever. It makes me wish that I was younger for a lot longer.

So it’s been awhile since I’ve put an update but I have been playing!

Skipping past the earlier parts of the game, my friends rushed me through to level 55 so I could make a sexy death knight (sankyu to Fayt and Devilwind). Death knights are a new class that are introduced as part of the 2nd expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. So far it’s been bad ass (in comparison to the rogue class) as I’ve been tearing shit up (not really).

Upon making one, you start as a “dead” hero who has been reborn through the Lich King. You then do a bunch of newb missions that play into the story eventually leading you to (SPOILER) the path of good. This part was actually my favorite so far in my experience. While there are still a handful of boring quests (collecting 20 of whatever), you get to do a lot of other cool things like gank a fortress with a bone dragon in addition to being a really ghetto tree.

As of right now, I’m in the Outlands level 65 working my way to 80. I didn’t get to play much the past 2 days because I got sick. If only I could drink a potion (Nyquil) and be instantly better.

Other than of course GirlyBubble, I frequent a lot of websites (daily) and that’s not including Facebook. While there’s probably a lot more out there that I haven’t visited, the following are a few of my faves.
