A New Sex and the City Movie and Drink!

Chanello my friends!

I wanted to share with you the fun and fierce happenings from the little get together I had for the Sex and the City Movie Premiere tonight at my house. Our Cosmo filled evening was followed by a viewing of the new film at the new Cinemark in Harker Heights! It was fabulous and fresh. Just one note: Beware of the Cougars! Please check out my VLOG and give me your feedback.

Adsof*ckinglutly Yours,
Randy

PS
Sarah, I can't wait to watch this 2 and a half hour episode with you!! Plus, the new drink I have created inspired by the SATC movie, Danté's Peak, is brilliant and refreshing. Watch my VLOG to discover the ingredients. xo R

Go 4 The Guchi. The Yamaguchi!

Kristi Yamaguchi just claimed victory as the Dancing with the Stars Season 6 Champion! I am so excited to see two of my favorite women win tonight. "Whatever do I mean by that?" Well, Ms. Hillary overwhelmingly took victory in Kentucky today. I am so powered up about her being our Vice President!! So, two of my (current) favorite women won today!

On a different note, I will be posting my VLOG of "Why In The World Central Texas?" next week. Sorry for the delay. I ran into some technical problems!!

Have a wonderful Super Tuesday!

The Entire Journey Home Through the Tornado!

These few videos document my Friday adventure just trying to get home through the storm! I love that someone has already given it a rating. I consider it a 5 Star performance!! It sure felt scary as hell. Enjoy.

PS
I started taking the video during the Tornado that swept through Belton, Texas yesterday. I will post all the segments about my journey home from visiting my friend in the hospital!

Where In The World...

Inspired by Matt Lauer's Annual Today Show Spring Event, "Where In The World is Matt Lauer?," I have decided to devote all of next week to present you with my own little version! I will be traveling to secret locations all over Central Texas to bring you the local culture, landmarks and fanfare. I can't wait to start my journey. However, the price of gas might keep my travels to VERY local, but I'm sure there is bound to be some culture close enough to share it with you. I mean if Hillary can find a way to keep telling us she can win this thing, then by God there has to be some sort of beauty around here! I will begin by tempting you with my first clue of where be on Day One on Friday.

Just a disclaimer, you might find yourself reaching for your wallet (or fabulous Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag), hoping on AA.com, booking your round trip ticket and standing at my door step by night fall! This is the part of the chat where you insert the LOL or HAHAHA. Either will work just fine in this situation.

Randy McCauley's "Why In The World Is He In Central Texas" begins Monday, April 28, 2008.

Meanwhile, check out the Doable-Daddy, Matt Lauer in his version on the Today Show also starting Monday!!

My Pledge To My Readers

Let's call this the Emancipation of Randy--the Diamond Medallion Edition. I am back!! After some much needed time to re-gather my strength to combat the world wide web, I have returned with flying colors. I am truly sorry I haven't been blogging lately. I just started a new day job as the Marketing Specialist at the Frank W. Mayborn Civic and Convention Center in Temple, Texas. The name's a mouth full I know, but the benefits are amazing! I am still operating Randy McCauley Designs and between the two I am staying busy and out of trouble! So strap on something and get ready for a Rough and Rowdy Randy Ride. In the words of Britney Spears, "I'm back y'all."

Go Hillary!

I am so excited about the primary tomorrow. I love the fact that so many people seem passionate about the candidates! On Friday my parents and I went to the polls for early voting. I have never seen my parents get this much into politics. I mean, they have always voted, just the passion behind the vote is different this time. Then we continued our journey to Waco to support Hillary at a rally. It was fantastic seeing people right here in Central Texas sharing the same views. A lot of times I feel I can't even speak about politics in this area without worrying that there will be a burning cross in my yard by nightfall. Her message was very powerful about her plan for getting our troops out of Iraq and taking care of them once they are home. She also shared her plan on taking care of our veterans. It was very moving and actually got a tear out of my mom. She continued on to talk about healthcare and the economy and received ample applause for both. After her 40 minute presentation, she came down and took a moment with each person pushed against the barrier. It was amazing seeing her up close. She really looks amazing for 60!! My mother got her attention when she called out that her daughter was serving in Iraq. She came over and took a moment with her and signed her campaign button. All and all it was a very powerful and moving experience. We will see what happens after tomorrow. Either way, I feel good about the candidates on our side of the fence.

God Bless the Westboro Baptist Church.

The post says it all. If you're not familiar with this group, don't waste your time. Life is too wonderful to get caught up in their land-o-crazy. I wish they would all commit themselves. It is really painful to see people in need of mental help suffering and infecting the masses. I just had to post this in some sort of effort to share some good with the world. Peace be with them. Oh and since they always use quotes from the bible, I added one below for them.

"Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke [reason with] thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord." --Leviticus 19: 17-18 (KJV)

Janet Has Discipline.

It's Janet Bitch. Oh, and she's like 41 years old Britney...sorry!


This is the new album cover for Janet Jackson's comeback album "Discipline."

Now, Janet herself is saying it's not a comeback because she never went anywhere. Folks, let's not pretend here. I am a die-hard fan and even I know when it's time to be honest about my favorite lady. The SuperBoob of 2004 really did a number on her career and the two albums that followed the event didn't help much either. However, I am all about "Feedback," the first single from her forthcoming album "Discipline," and I have seen a track listing and I am telling you guys this is the year Janet is back. Even MTV can't keep her away. They've added her video to circulation. So, brush up on your Rhythm Nation and prepare for total Janet Domination! Cause we all know I could use a little.

XO, Randy

Over Mediaed Randy has one more post!

I'm going posting bonkers. I think it's the Golden Globe issue. Anyway, just had to tell you about this fabulous site from Sony Pictures about there new show Cashmere Mafia. It's so much fun!! You can learn all about the characters and really wish Sex and the City was back on. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Golden Garbage!

So, I told you good night and go to another network...blah, blah, blah. Well, E! was announcing the awards with Mary Hart and her Gay Leprechaun, Ryan Seacrest, so I watched and it was much better the NBC, Billy Yuck version. However, I got so confused on who had actually won and what category we were even on, that I just gave up. People can say all they want about award shows being too long, but I'm sayin' break-out cosmos and comfy chairs, cause I'll take my three hour plus shows over all this garbage any day. Plus, there were some surprises that would have been nice to have seen live. Johnny Depp for Sweeny Todd over Tom Hanks. Marion Cotillard for La Vie En Rose over Nikki Blonsky for Hairspray and Ellen Page for Juno. Sweeny Todd for Best Musical or Comedy. Julie Christie over Cate Blanchett, Keira Knightley, Jodie Foster and Angelina Jolie! Atonement for Best Drama. So like me, you can checkout all the winners and losers online. I'm done complaining now. Have a great night and remember, make every moment a Red Carpet moment! Yours in hopes the Award Shows return soon, Randy

Checkout the winners...and losers now!

TOO Stressful and not fun!!

Okay, I was going to give you the play-by-play of the Golden Globe announcements, but this is terrible! I can't even watch it. Plus, my Papa John's Pizza is getting cold. Switch networks, get some pizza and enjoy the rest of your night. I will blog about my favs after they're announced. If I keep watching, Billy Bush might push me over the edge!! The Colts and Cowboys set the tone for this tragic TV sunday and now this. Enjoy your evening.

XO,
Red Carpet Randy

24kt Press Conference aka The 2008 Golden Globes

Good evening and welcome to my living room! No need to rollout the red carpet since there will be no fabulous celebrities to interview. Due to the Writer's Strike (2007-2008) there was a call for a boycott of the actual awards ceremony for the 65th Annual Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globes. Thus, the HFPA decided to forego the ceremony and just hold a press conference. Wow! I thought 2008 was off to a great start until they started canceling Award Season. This is my plea to the Producers and Writer's Guild, please come to an agreement. I live in Central Texas and TV is my gateway to the outside world. I really need new shows, fresh ideas and most of all Awards Season! I mean some of these celebrities we wouldn't even see if it wasn't for the award shows. I am begging you, come to an agreement soon. Not just because it's the right thing to do, but because there is a 28 year old gay man in Central Texas suffering a little more everyday. Thank you.

Oh, PS, I will be doing an up-to-the-minute blog about said Golden Press Conference! So stay tuned.

Winners will be posted online as well. Click here to check them out.

Cashmere Mafia aka Sex and the City 2

Last night was a fantastic night for television. We were blessed with another heart-felt episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Another trip to Bonkersville thanks to the crazy wagon that is Desperate Housewives. And finally, my three hour television extravaganza ended with the return of Carrie, Samantha, Mira...I mean, Cashmere Mafia! For the first thirty minutes I ripped this thing apart left and right. It was like visitor at the San Francisco Zoo in the Tiger Exhibit, it just wasn't safe! Okay, that was a terribly distasteful and amusing joke...sorry. The point is, I gave nothing but the wardrobe a fighting chance. Then, at 9:37pm, like clockwork, something happened, I actually began enjoying this show. I was acquiring a taste for the power of these women and the complexity to which their story could evolve over the next few episodes. Yes my friends, I think I have found something campy, powerful, funny and en vogue on television again. It is the ABC, few years later, less witty, 2008, television void filler for Sex and the City, previously held 2 years ago by Desperate Housewives, I've been looking for! Thank you Darren Star. Tune in Wednesday at 10/9pm Central and see what you think.

Someone in India knows I'm gonna die!

Welcome to 2008! (Again I welcome you.) After much thought about talking about something that rips me apart inside, I figured I'd just let it go. I ask for no sympathy or pity. I only wish to vent about this condition which I have. In October of 2006 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I wasn't able to see a Rheumatologist until January of 2007. During that time my fingers were the size of pickles and there were days when I could hardly get myself out of bed. I remember my first appointment. God, I felt like it would never come. Anyway, the point in sharing this now is that a funny thing happened to me while shopping for Life Insurance the other day. I have always thought I should have some and in my effort to be more organized this year I figured I should start shopping around. Well, ladies and gents, I got some sure fire answers about life insurance and evidently life in general. Upon answering some health questions drilled by a kind, under paid and a little hard to understand Indian lady, I found myself getting a little upset about my RA. I just knew that with each answer my rates were climbing! Anyway, the question period ended and I was given my quote. Much to my un-surprise, the rates were outrages. So I figured I'd get a little personal and share with her that it is probably going to be hard for me to find lower rates. This is when she told me in her thick accent, "I don't know what your Rheumatologist has told you, but your condition is going to get worse. So I would advise that you get Life Insurance as soon as possible." WOW! I was shocked. It was like she knew exactly when I was going to die. I have heard of all kinds of sells tactics, but using someone's chronic disease to scare them into a purchase, that has to be a new low! Well, I feel better now sharing. Oh, and just so you know, insurance sales person in another country, I have never felt more alive.

Happy New Year!

Just a quick note to welcome you to the future! I am lovin' 2008 and wish you all the best.
