| Post Grad Postcard: Finding My Way With a Forklift Posted: 08 Jul 2011 10:45 AM PDT
Don't get me wrong, I'm giving it serious thought. Forklift operators are very useful people; I want to become a useful person. Connecticut won't stay 95 degrees F or higher until September, unlike me here in South Carolina. I have a valid driver's license, I don't take medications plastered with DON'T OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY, and I'm not afraid of hard work. But where did this come from? In my site profile, did I forget to mention my lack of upper body strength? Did I accidentally count prying two-year-olds off of toilets (a primary duty of my daycare job a couple summers ago) as proof that I can lift forty-five pounds by myself? Or is job hunting really this complete and total a crapshoot? For the past four years, I've been held tight in the snug protection of college. Every year, I heard IN THIS ECONOMY followed by enough bad news to make me go into numb denial. I could turn back to my scholarships that kept academics as my job and a nice lady with grey hair who sent out internship opportunities as soon as they crossed her desk. I could work for nothing, because hey, it was all experience, and that's what counted! Right? Last summer, I had a job. It was an internship, part time with pay hovering just above minimum wage, but it was writing for money in my own cubicle and with a dress code, and I felt like hot shit for landing it. I was spoiled. This summer, I've joined the much more depressing, much bigger, much more unofficial unemployment club. Hi, my name is Melanie, I just graduated from college, and I don't know what the hell I'm doing with my professional life. College did not prepare me for this. But I'm a good self-educator, and the first thing I've learned is I can't depend on anybody except my own bad self (thanks, James Brown) to get me started. I'll take all the help I can get, listen to every suggestion from people who know more than I do (everybody), but ultimately, it's my life to build one job application at a time. And that is all the direction I need (until the forklift place makes me a better offer). Melanie Griffin blogs at The Constant Reader.

At this point, I basically assume that everything Melissa says or does is designed to hurt her sister-in-law and fellow Housewife Teresa Giudice, and this is no exception. During season 1, Teresa devoted a lot of energy to trying to get her oldest daughter Gia Giudice into modeling and acting, without much success.

I’m late on this photo since it’s from the CBS upfronts in May, but it’s still jarring: The network slapped together remaining Two and a Half Men stars Jon Cryer and Angust T. Jones with their new co-star Ashton Kutcher. Even though the show is currently on hiatus, CBS presumably wants to present a united front and shove all memories of Charlie Sheen‘s drug use and warlock-inspired ranting into a far corner of the TV audience’s brains. Something about this photo just really seems to be pushing it. I wonder if they’ll keep Kutcher’s long-hair-and-goatee combo, to really distance him from the clean-shaven Sheen. You’ll find out when Kutcher’s character will debut on the show in the fall, because we will continue to not tune in. And the world keeps on spinning. Interesting comparison: Look how out-of-sync the cast looked at the 2009 People’s Choice Awards, right before Sheen went cah-razy.

| Crushable Dream Cast: ‘The Giver’ Posted: 08 Jul 2011 09:32 AM PDT
Double-checking the book on Wikipedia, I realize it’s a very sparse cast; they would either have to include a subplot involving more citizens, or rely on the central cast to carry the story. There’s a big chance that the casting directors will go the Hunger Games route and choose mostly unknowns. We drew from our own favorites in young Hollywood and came up with some more recognizable candidates. Jonas – Thomas Brodie-Sangster
Who else to play the book’s pubescent hero than a kid we’ve watched grow up since he stole our hearts as the lovelorn, motherless Sam in Love Actually? The only sticking point is his age: He just turned 21. My hope would be that the screenwriter would adjust the characters’ ages so that they turn 15 instead of 12; considering that their sexual urges are suppressed, this wouldn’t be totally unfathomable. And Thomas is skinny enough that he could pass for 15. Fiona – Liana Liberato
Ever since I saw her in Trust, I’m pushing for Liana Liberato to be in any and all projects. The kind of strange sexuality she brought to Trust — where she played a 14-year-old who has a sexual encounter with an older Internet friend — could inform the character of Fiona. We first learn of her when Jonas has a sex dream about her and his parents tell him to take pills to combat his Stirrings. Liana would nicely play that “look but don’t touch” kind of allure. Asher – Angus T. Jones
Angus is a hit on Two and a Half Men, and would really embody Jonas’ fun-loving best friend Asher. While Jonas is tasked with taking on all of the community’s awful memories and cover-ups, Asher gets the enviable job of Assistant Director of Recreation. While keeping with the book’s tone wouldn’t turn this into an outright comedy, there could be a few one-liners sprinkled through for Angus to pick up. My first impulse was to put someone like Jaden Smith, but I forgot that in The Giver‘s society everyone has been genetically altered so that they’re nearly monoethnic — and unfortunately, I assume it’s implied to be white or mixed-race.

My career-finding website account thinks I should become a forklift operator in Greenwich, Connecticut. I'm not sure if I agree with them.
Antonia Gorga, the oldest child of new Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Melissa Gorga, has just 
During their Canadian tour (you know, what poor people call “a vacation”), Prince William and Duchess Catherine sported these matching white cowboy hats at a rodeo in Calgary. While I normally think that British people are genetically predisposed 
I’m psyched that Jeff Bridges is adapting The Giver – the first dark book you ever read — to film, 
We’re pretty sure it’s in Snooki‘s contract that she isn’t allowed to leave her house without adorning her head with something utterly ridiculous. Leopard print, sombreros, and, more often than not, excessive quantities of rhinestones. But, because she’s Snooki and can do no wrong, we’ll not only let her get away with her headpiece choices, we eagerly await the skull decorations yet to come.
Actress and 
Teen Mom 2 star Chelsea Houska was hit with some sad news recently – and for once it wasn’t about her loser ex Adam Lind. Chelsea’s father Randy Houska had a barn in their hometown of Vermilion, SD, which burned down. And on top of that, Chelsea’s adorable pug Pixie (who has appeared in several episodes playing with Chelsea and her daughter Aubree) | You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
