Amanda Blog and Kiss

I wrote a few days ago about how I saw Drew Barrymore and her boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti, who plays in the Strokes.

This past weekend I also saw Paul Weller, who was seated next to Wendy and I at a nice little cafe called Cafe de Koe.

Unfortunately, I had no idea who Paul Weller was, but Wendy did and apparently so does everyone else in Europe. He’s THAT big, apparently.

I checkout out his website just now, and I still have absolutely no clue who he is.

www.paulweller.com

But apparently he’s BIG.

Did I mention that he’s a BIG star?

Because he is.

Apparently.

After quite a debaucherous weekend in several aspects, I came to a few realisations about my life:

- I probably drink too much.

- I dance like an jackass on crack.

- I can’t save money to save my life.

- I don’t eat properly at all.

- I’m a bit lax when it comes to work.

These realisations led me to then go on and write a little list of mid-summer resolutions to put into play starting TODAY:

- Why don’t I try drinking less, like, say, only on the weekends?

- Maybe try shaking and jerking about less on the dancefloor, thus resulting in a less painful morning after. My neck is still sore from two nights ago.

- The money thing is a big issue right now, as I am about to start earning much less and aquire greater bills. This can probably go hand in hand with the drinking issue, so less drink equals less money spent on drink equals more money to go to bills and such. Easy equation, right?

- Eat more veggies. Being a vegetarian you would think that this is easy for me. But you would be wrong.

- Wake up earlier and get to work sooner.

Voila. Should be the start of a new and improved Amanda. Stay tuned.

Update…..4 hours later.

I just went off to have lunch with Wendy, thus breaking three……no, four of my mid-summer resolutions:

I bunked out of work for three hours (1) to have lunch (2) and wine (3) and spend money that I shouldn’t be spending (4).

And now I am sun-kissed and slightly buzzed and feeling less like working now than I ever have before. The only resolution that I didn’t break was the one about dancing like a moron, but give me a few more white wine spritzers, and I’m anyone’s dancing fool.

Thanks, Wendy!

I sprayed hairspray in my armpits today, and then later on saw Drew Barrymore walking along the Leidsestraat with her boyfriend Fabrizio.

That makes 2 celebrities that I have seen in Amsterdam. Three if you count little Fabrizio, which I don’t.

Comments from MySpace:

I loved Drew Barrymore in 50 First Dates – one of my favorite movies ever!!! Please say you have seen it. It’s great. And take it easy on the whole Euro-no-shaving-thing….damn, you need hairspray for those bad boys……*shivver* lol

Lucky you, Drew Barrymore is so fuckin adorable. In fact she reminds me of what I imagine you to be like, minus the ugly boyfriend and former drug/alcohol addiction thing. And Amanda, dear child, gel will hold the unruly pit hair in place far better than hairspray and won’t leave you with that sticky, icky residue once it dries! Ya dig?

Haha Dawn. And haha Jamie. I thought the hairspray was my deodorant, but unfortunately didn’t catch on until both pits were sprayed.

Yeah, I suppose I am like Drew Barrymore. Minus the rockstar boyfriend, the loads of money to travel, the impressive film resume practically from birth, the drug-addled background, the house in the Hollywood Hills, the movie star friends, the sweet little hippy spirit, the funny lisp when she speaks and the cute face and long blondie locks. Minus allllllllll that, I do think we have practically the same shape of foot.

You saw Jean-Claude!?!?!!?

Ah…. JCvD, “The Muscles from Brussels” (or is that “The Mussels from Brussels”)? In any event, he’s one of those actors (and I use the term VERY loosely) that I love to hate. I’ve heard he’s a short little shit. True?

I think the Drew Barrymore sighting (love her!) more than makes up for the hairspray in the armpits thing. And who the hell is Fabrizio? I have got to start buying the goofy papers again. I didn’t even know she was dating some guy (?) named Fabrizio.

Unique and cute.

All I’m sayin’ is this: at least she isn’t a fucking Pussycat Dolls wannabe.

I hope she makes it, although I don’t know how far one can go in the yodelling world.
