MMmmm Whatcha Say...

Every once in a while it's pretty much custom for me to pick a song out of the universe, and get entirely too obsessed with it. Listening to it in every possible waking moment in my life ruining it for myself and those around me. Three years ago in the summer of 2005 (WAAAA WOOO!!) that song was Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek". Can't remember how exactly I was introduced to it, perhaps through a friend, blind date...anyway after that it was all history. So you can imagine my excitement when I watched the season 2 finale of The OC and heard the song over a VERY dramatic scene in the end where Marissa shoots Ryan's brother just as he's about to smash his face in with a phone.

I can only imagine the vagueness of these names if you've never seen the show. Anyway here's THAT scene:



And now a couple of days ago, stalking stumble as I usually do on most evenings afternoons and mornings I came across the SNL parody. I haven't laughed this hard at something besides myself in a long time!

Introducing, "Dear Sister"
mmmmmwhatcha saaaay...mmm whatcha- mmwha- mmm wha- mmm whatcha sa- mmwhat- mmm wha- m- mmmmwhatcha sa- mmm wa- mmm whatcha saaaaaaayyyy....

I'm A Big Brave Dog!

I watched it. It was awful. And from what I gathered, the basic premise of this movie is different ways in which people commit suicide. From what? Maybe that's what will get people to go and watch it. Terrorists? Adultery? Not recycling and taking care of the environment? Perhaps. After all the latter is now considered a mortal sin.

So now. Decision time. To see, or not to see...that is the question.

To see? It was shot in Phoenixville and I have to see how they made us look!
Not to see? I'm pretty sure this R-rated version is self explanatory.

Oh the anticipation...

I'm A Big Brave Dog, I'm A Big Brave Dog...

Tonight I saw a trailer for The Happening when my roommate was telling me about a supposed R -rated version of it floating around online somewhere. Being the curious person I am, I took a little google myself and decided to look it up- despite the protest from her about how sick it made her feel after watching it.

Now, I'm a baby when it comes to scary things. I avoid scary movies because they fuck with my mind so much. I can't take so much as a scary trailer for a horror movie. Especially at night. I already have a hard enough time falling asleep without making something of a random shadow on my wall or a pile of clothes at the foot of my bed. But when I heard about this awful version of the movie trailer I never thought it'd be something that may fuck with my sleep tonight.

Until I saw the still image from the clip on this website:



Lucky for me the "Play Now" button was strategically placed in front of the face of the bloody man WHO by the way, I am always afraid of randomely spotting in my car headlights in the dark at home. Only the still image of it scared me away! Just thinking about how close I was to having nightmares makes me shiver. Thank god for that first screen shot otherwise I'd be up all night and/or sleeping with the lights on.

SO I think I'll wait until tomorrow morning to watch this one. I'd rather something fuck with my head during the day when it's light out, there are other people around and other things going on than having me lay quietly in bed in the dark with nothing but me in my mind...

This Is Why We're Still Waiting.

If anyone was wondering, questioning and losing sleep over why black people have not been awarded reparations yet, this is the reason. Forget all the progress we've made breaking down stereotypes in the media, politics, higher education WHATEVER. This high class gal has set us back about 43 hundred notches.

Black people like this are fucking stupid and embarrassing to me. Disgusting. All I can think while watching this video is what the old woman is thinking! She most likely lived through the civil rights movement... a time of excitement and change and "for what? for this?" is what probably runs through her mind. Sorry ma'am. I don't want to apologize for this embarrassment to NOT ONLY black people but humankind as a whole, but I feel it's necessary.

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. would get a kick out of this one.

ATL Hoodrat aka SOULJA GIRL goes crazy on the Marta!

The Perfect Song

Children singing, a choir, music dropping out and singing, and singing on the next note up.

Yearbook photos botched in 'unfortunate lapse'

McKINNEY, Texas (AP) -- School officials say they are appalled by altered photos -- including heads on different bodies -- in hundreds of McKinney High School yearbooks delivered this week.

School officials say they were stunned to see photos altered in the McKinney High School yearbook.

Besides the head and body switching, some necks were stretched, one girl's arm was missing and another girl's head was placed on what appeared to be a nude body, with the chest blurred.

A spokeswoman for Minnesota-based Lifetouch National School Studios Inc. said the alterations were "an unfortunate lapse in judgment" by an employee, but she didn't believe it was malicious.

The high school had required Lifetouch to make heads the same size and eyes at the same level in all student photos, company spokeswoman Sara Thurin Rollin said Saturday.

The request was "unusual and definitely very particular, but that's not to suggest what happened here is acceptable," she said.

Rollin declined to say if the company fired or reprimanded the employee who altered the images.

She said Lifetouch is taking full responsibility for the altered pictures, about 30 in all, and will pay to have the publication reprinted before the seniors graduate.

Lori Oglesbee, the school's yearbook adviser at McKinney High School, said the yearbook staff would spend the weekend rebuilding the yearbook.

McKinney is about 20 miles north of Dallas.

Right...this extensive effort to fuck with the memories of hundreds of high school students wasn't malicious at all....

I Twittered the FCUK out of that concert

Last night I kicked off my summer of fun aka the first summer I'll be working straight through every single day even on the 4th of July and not bullshitting around like the past 18 years of my life WITH the one and only Glow in the Dark Tour. It was fucking fantastic. As per the blog title, I twittered the fcuk out of that concert:

i'm spent. still room for pat's cheesesteak about 10 hours ago from twitterrific

Good idea at the time, bad idea today. I think there's ketchup on my purse.

I'll say this is the concert of the year..til i see janet about 12 hours ago from txt

Definitely money well spent, amazing performances from top to bottom. I'd do it all over again.

Jesus christ kanye's the next wave of hip hop about 13 hours ago from txt

Ay, sad but true. He's a jackass, but a very talented one.

Kanye has arrived...... about 13 hours ago from txt

and in style! Smoke machines, fake fire machines, flashing lights...

Land of the randoms who you're friends with now but who you'll never talk to later about 13 hours ago from txt BFF!!! <333 lolz

Rihanna knows how to put on a show! about 14 hours ago from txt

Je-hee-sus CHRIST do I have a newfound respect for this girl! I screamed my face off to umber-ella and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

No girls in the bathroom were amused with me screaming ALL THE GIRLS STANDING IN THE LINE FOR THE BATHROOM about 15 hours ago from txt I thought it was funny.

There are so many random ppl at this concert about 15 hours ago from txt

See below

Pharrell is so fuckin sexy about 15 hours ago from tx

Last night was the first time I've ever seen N.E.R.D. live and it was amazing. I knew it would be. I want them to have their own show! PS - Pharrell is so fuckin sexy.

Just missed lupe..o well about 16 hours ago from txt

Not heartbroken

Lets peruse the essentials of cool..wearing glowing clothes that don't match 16 years old about 17 hours ago from txt Not until recently did I ever notice how terrible "all ages" shows can be. Maybe it's because I've been too wasted or something. Put it this way, 99% of concertgoers probably got a ride from their parents. If their parents weren't there with them.

Pregame in the parking lot for KANYE about 17 hours ago from txt

Self explanatory. Only thing not, was that it was really really windy.


Overall rating for the concert, 11 on a 10 scale.
Rating for the weekend, 10!

I think I'm hungry because it's something I usually do after I wake up...but I usually don't down an entire cheesesteak, fries and a drink at 1am...

Ugh.

I'll Take Worldy Destruction for 200, Alex.

Mother Nature has been having a party lately, eh!

First the devastation of Myanmar, and now she decides to kick over 10k Chinese lives for fun. Boy oh boy would I KILL to be in control of nature! Oh. Too soon? Whatever will happen next? You know terrible things happen in 3s....

Events like these are always split various ways when it comes to determining the causes. You'll have a hand full over here who say that half a million people were killed this past weekend because you drive an SUV. Then you'll have a hand full over here who say that this happened because you or someone you know is thinking about and/or having gay sex. And then, of course, you'll have a hand full over here who are completely unaware of what's going on all together. "What earthquake? It wasn't on Perez!?!?!??"

Or maybe it was. Whatever, I only look at the pictures and laugh at the cum driblets.
Hehe.

When situations like this occur in the world, yes...they're sad. They are terrible and extremely unfortunate. But I don't think that just because you have your air conditioner on full blast in NY is the high holy reason why there was a huge tidal wave across the globe. And I'm almost positive, not certain, that sodomy does not cause earthquakes. Things happen for a reason. And for centuries there have been many instances where large groups of people were wiped out. And you know why? It's all about cleansing of the human race. If anyone hasn't noticed lately, we're becoming a bit overcrowded. Strange too, to think that now more than ever there are more people around us yet we're more distanced from each other than we've ever been...

It's not fair that things like these happen in under developed countries where people don't have resources to prepare and survive. God hates the poor, what can I say. No no no I don't mean that. But it sure looks that way, doesn't it! However, I will admit that it is a bit scary that lately God has decided he wants to cleanse the population. Hold out for a few years, won't you?

Maybe there's just something about living on the other side of the world that guarantees your death will be insignificant amongst 10s of thousands of others.

I can't wait to see what will happen next.

I'm thirsty.

I Can't Stand Having Dry Hands

I guess you could call it one of my pet peeves. I really do hate that phrase with a passion. It reminds me of having a conversation with a middle school guidance counselor hell bent intent on never "guiding" you to what you want to do but rather what they didn't get to do in their golden years.

UGH I HATE DRY HANDS!
I'm too lazy to get up and put lotion on.
Maybe I can reach something from my bed.

SUCCESS! Omg I'm in heaven.

Here's to the rebirth of the blog de la chica who did it religiously before, but stopped because well...it doesn't matter now.

I can't get enough of this guy's videos:

Goodnight.
