ZX-Well blog me Happy, Friday the 13th!

Spent this morning debating whether my house was going to burn down or not, eating grilled cheese and Easter See's and considering driving down to the flames to feed them my two foot mail pile. Wondering if you lose all your records if you are still required to do your taxes. I feel like they make it purposefully complicated and I wish I could just install a bar code in my wrist and be done with it. It has also come to my attention that I've been sharing my social security number with a Korean since 1989.

I'm supposed to be snowboarding this weekend but my accountant suggested we do taxes on Saturday. I thought, "Who does that?!," but a good friend pointed out that they're DUE ON SUNDAY.

Also discovered how to airbrush on iphoto and was considering sending my stalkee photos of the two of us with just myself airbrushed and leaving him with his engorged pores and sun damage. What am I, twelve?!

So basically, just diddling my bean when I got the call from my manager that there is an offer coming my way unless something goes egregiously wrong. He wouldn't even tell me what it is because the last time, I was all packed to go to Rome and at the last second, the project imploded and I was apoplectic. But he's completely giddy so I may have something awesome to report imminently. Keep you posted.

    I really, really, really think you are Zooey Deschanel, ZX. And don't you people start on me about the smoking thing. Just because Zooey says a year or so back that she doesn't smoke doesn't mean she was being honest and it doesn't mean she didn't start. There are not many actresses who have "a few films released already this year" and a "few more that will be released this year". She is award winning, has done indie films, along with mainstream. Has 3 movies that have already come out this year and 3 more that are scheduled to. She doesn't drink or do drugs. And she has a possibility to win an award for one of her movies this year. Her sister is on a t.v show and Zooey has done t.v. so, I don't believe she is above auditioning for a pilot. We all need to watch The assination of Jesse James to see if her character is introduced to Jesse James or the man who kills him at anytime, as they both would be criminals. Because I have a feeling that is the movie she was talking about. Wasn't the guy naked or something? that should be a dead giveaway when the movie comes out. If it's her. I just relly think it is.

    Anonymous, you're wrong. It might not be a *government* holiday, but it is a DC holiday - Emancipation Day.

    Taxes are due Tuesday. Get it right.

    Ok, some of those comments made me giggle.

    For the record, I have never used the phrase "diddling my bean" in my life. I've diddled other people's beans, but my own remains woefully undiddled. And the day I write about my taxes is the day I stop finding everything else in the world more interesting, and believe me, that's not today.

    And to the tiresome Santa Cop at 12:45, enjoy a lovely Friday afternoon of whining about how fake this blog is. I'm off to drink beer with my friends for the rest of the day. You might consider getting a few and trying the same. (Beers or friends -- you seem sorely lacking in both!)

    Ok. I've long been a fan of this site. I love trying to figure out the BI's even if they are made-up, or plucked from other websites or gossip mags. The disclaimer says that the site publishes rumors, conjecture and fiction- which is fine by me because it's fun to be a detective etc. However, this bloggin actress is obvoiusly BS. It's just an alter-ego of EL. And EL is an alter-ego of the blogger him/herself. I know most of us love this site, and love folling ourselves into believing the things written here are true, but isn't this getting a little ridiculous? It's such BS! Again, I think the guessing thing is fun, but this actress thing is strange. Aren't we a little too intelligent to play into this facade?

    WOW...this blog is getting wierd...I think EL needs to figure out a way to make it impossible to post anonymously or make you sign up, because it seems like we are getting trolls...best thing is to ignore them and they'll get bored and go away...no one likes to post if they are getting a response from someone, no?

    Anyway, the purpose of this post is not to address said trolls, but to address our lovely ZX...good luck with the project...I hope you get it and it's an amazing opportunity.

    I know 1:00 but, that WAS awhile ago. She has lived with her parents on and off, then in a condo with her sister (so I've read at one place) And then with the guy that she dated for over a year, Jason. What I have not run across for sure is that she owns her own place. It's pretty confusing if we start eliminating people on information from a year ago. I am fixing to go find one of the movies she has out this year and prove that it started taping this time last year and taped for 7 months just to show you people :-) It's her!!! Melissa

    Hey everyone,
    just wanted to post a comment i made earlier.
    I'm very pleased with Zx's blogging: I don't really care who this actress is, i don't really understand when some of you try to learn who it is though. Personnaly, I'm just glad to get to know a person with a different origin and life than mine, that's it.
    I believe that except a few crazy spoiled brat, most ppl in hollywood must be quite normal. The press and even the gossip world always seem to make a big deal out of their lifes... I think that most ppl just try to make a living and to lead a confortable life (of course, 'confortable' is all relative! ;) )

    anyway, thanks Ent and Zx for your everyday efforts...
    ps: Zx I hope that your potential new job works out! :)

    That's it... :)

    Melissa, I didn't get that one movie filmed for 7 months straight - only huge epics would take that long - I took the gone for 7 months thing as she filmed more than one movie all back to back.

    I still don't think was Zooey, though you have a point about the living situation. She has several movies currently in production or hasn't started filming yet, according to IMDB. ZX makes it sound as if she has nothing lined up yet as far as future roles go. Wouldn't Zooey be preparing for the Janis Joplin movie or Barry Munday, etc?

    Plus I guess I see her as too famous to be auditioning and getting turned down for a pilot.

    I'm thinking ZX is either originally a Brit or Aussie. "Diddling my bean" and the phrase she used yesterday about giving a firm "how's your father" are NOT American phrases. Start thinking abroad people.

    Also gotta say, this post does seem different in tone from the originals so I'm on board with the maybe this isn't ZX posters.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Anonymous5:43 PM

    I thought it she was a Brit too, possibly Minnie Driver, I think she surfs and snowboards and she was at LA fashion week. But changed my mind because of the comment about the SS number and the date 1989, unless that's a joke that went over my little Brit head. But that date does mean she's older than some think.

    Anyway I agree with some of the others, this blog entry has a different tone, maybe she's feeling flat today, wouldn't anybody who has to do their taxes?

    I have no clue who ZX is, and I don't even care. Her posts are fun and engaging, and she's a good addition to an already fun and engaging blog.

    I do wish the naysayers would go away. The repetitious whines about disclaimers and fake identity's and 'oh you stupid ass people who actually believe this' get to be a little tedious. If you've said it once, do you HAVE to say it again? And again? And again?

    My only contribution to the ZX guessing game is to agree with whomever it was who suggested that ZX is either British/Australian or has a strong influence of that sort in their background, due to their word choices and phrasing. Not worth much, since it has already been stated.

    Thanks, ZX and Ent, for all of the fun.

    I would agree with the Amber Tamblyn guess but she has 3 movies coming up according to IMDB. I still think ZX implies she has no projects lined up at the moment, only films that have finished filming.
