Here’s the Problem: Half-Brained

Here’s the Problem: Kara and I are venturing out with our own blogs.  Do not worry loyal fans, we will still be probleming daily, but we also have individual “thoughts” to share.

Actual Problem:  Without each other we are a hot mess of scattered thought.  Please enjoy the scraps we put together in a desperate attempt to be independent:

What The Helen Lil K

 

 

 

Here’s The Problem: Sesame Street Turns 40!

Here’s The Problem: My favorite kids show of all time is celebrating it’s 40th anniversary ths week. I watched it everyday when I was small(er).

Actual Problem: How old does this make ME????

Here’s The Problem: Taylor ♥’s Taylor

Here’s The Problem: The two teen titans, Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner are  dating. I haven’t been this excited since Miley and Nick got back together for that hot minute.

Actual Problem: It’s no fun scribbling your own name all over your notebook.

Here’s The Problem: Kate’s Story

Here’s The Problem: Last night TLC graced us with a little special called:

Kate: Her Story

In it, the former Mrs. Gosselin wowed us all with a new curly hairdo, fab faux fingernails and heartfelt, wack-a-do quotes:

“We’re too far gone. Stepping out of the spotlight when it’s prudent to do so is a good thing.” (thoughts on why they can’t stop being “famous”)

“I still wake up every day and I think the phone will ring, and it will be the old Jon.” (thoughts that just don’t make sense) 

 

Actual Problem: Kate better hurry up and get herself another reailty show to be the star of – acrylic nails don’t pay for themselves, honey.

Here’s the Problem: Tweeting about Phish

Here’s the Problem:  Phish played some awesome show in Indio this past week and a bunch of former, wannabe (and maybe even one actual) hippie showed up.  I know because I read all about it on Facebook and Twitter.

Actual Problem:   Put away your electronics and chill out.   Need to learn how to roll a joint, corporate jack off?  I sure there’s an app for that.

Here’s The Problem: Halloween Walk of Shame

Here’s the Problem:  Yesterday morning I saw too many people who didn’t put together that if you’re slutting it up in costume on Halloween, it may lead to slutting it in someone’s bedroom, and the next day had to make the walk of shame back home in a half tangled Kate Gosselin wig or smeared dead bride make up.

Actual Problem:  This chick in the duck costume got laid?!  What am I doing wrong???

Here’s the Problem: Facebook Status Overshare

Here’s the Problem:  See above

Actual Problem: See below

Here’s the Problem: Guys with Ponytails

Sorry dude whose picture I found on google images. I hope tomorrow's a better day.

Here’s the Problem:  A friend (unnamed to protect her bad taste) is interested in a guy with a ponytail.  As @briannafanna noted, “Unless you’re Beckham 5 years ago, that’s not going to work”.

Actual Problem:  He’s no athlete, and if you sweat so much setting meetings at your desk that you have to pull your hair back, your eccrine system is not equipped to handle this girl.

Here’s The Problem: Humiliation

what's more embarrassing than being drunk and covered in cake? THIS.

Here’s The Problem: I have an adopted Mom at work – who feels the need to embarrass me wherever we are – stores, restaurants, the bathroom, etc.  She is now doing it in front of celebrities. So when a famous girl who I LOVE came in the other day -  my “mom” decided that she was going to announce that I’m famous girl’s superfan. IN FRONT OF HER.  Excuse me famous person, I have to go hide under my desk now.

Actual Problem: Mothers – of ANY kind.

Here’s the Problem: Breaking Up With My Hairdresser

Here’s the Problem:  I had been going to the same salon since I came out to LA to intern in 2004.  It’s close, convenient, and I loved my hairdresser.  So much love that I wrote a really nice Yelp review about him.  A 5-star review that calls him nice, professional and talented (while also mentioning he takes a really long time because he’s a perfectionist).  You can imagine how dismayed I was when I received a message from him on Yelp that asked me to remove the review because it was costing him business.   Well sonny, you just lost yourself a customer!

Actual Problem:  This had to happen as my hair approaches nipple-length (that’s an industry term…I think).  As it goes for vines to swing on, boyfriends and jobs – don’t let go of your hairdresser until you have another one in grasp.
