don't be sad...

nothing lasts forever
even cold november rain

sometimes...



i wish that just for one day i could have the confidence of one of those girls from
MTV's
My Super Sweet 16
just to try it out---you know see how it feels
to have the kind of confidence where you want not only a great dress, but a dress that says
"i am the hottest one in this room. i am better than all of you. and you should be happy i even invited you to my party"



Things that would never fly nowadays #367...

this youtube video is from a children's home video series called
KIDSONGS
this is from their day at an amusement park
the song is an ode to being addicted to fast food.
the name of the song is "Fast Food"

my favorite is when they say "fast food's got a hold on me and i don't stand a chance"
these days they would be too afraid of being sued for promoting unhealthy eating habits to include that song.

too much too soon...

i think we've had enough of the "too soon" joke
maybe we can transition into "too premature" or something.
thanks for understanding guys.

Jeremy Jordan...

ALRIGHT!
anyone else have the 90210 soundtrack cassette tape in elementary/middle school?

i take...


cause it's full of vitamins specifically formulated for my ovaries.

you guys ever see this?...


they sure don't make patriotic cartoons like they used to.

I swear I am not making this up...


Gwen Stefani's upcoming album The Sweet Escape
features the single "Wind it Up".
I'm not sure what prompted Gwen to think it was a good idea---
i'll chock it up to pregnancy hormones---
but she sampled THE LONELY GOATHERD from THE SOUND of F'n MUSIC.
The conversation in Gwen's recording studio must have gone something like this:

"Wow, Rich Girl did really well on the charts. How can we recreate the same success. I know! We'll sample another musical. Everyone loves the Sound of Music. Let's use the song with all the yodels in it! GENIUS"

yes! the song includes the yodels. how i wish i was kidding--
here is the song she sampled

i never thought i'd see the day when blog that Fergie's new single Fergalicious is leaps and bounds over anything Gwen does.

Yeahyeah...

the instrumental song Green Onions by Booker T. & the MGs
will always make me think of the Sandlot

my favorite sandlot quotes off the top of my head:
You're killing me Smalls!
The Great Bambi
Somemore what?
First you take the graham. You stick the chocolate on the graham. Then, you roast the mallow. When the mallows flaming, you stick it on the chocolate and cover it with the other end. Then, you scarf.
Oiling and lotioning...
FOR EV VERRRRR

Let's start a revolution...

at chain coffee shops!
so far it's been established that:
1/2 caf = half decaf half regular
with room = space at the top of the cup to add your own milk etc
but how about a way to request something more important
beverage temperature:
"on the rocks"
it's the new cool way to ask your barista to add some ice cubes to your hot beverage so that it does not burn your tongue and is ready for immediate consumption.
who has the to wait for coffee to cool?


so, who's with me?

Best 97 cents i've spent today...

i highly recommend picking up a
Mead Composition Notebook

even if you don't keep a journal (i don't) there's something nice about just looking at it.
maybe it's because it makes me think of school supply shopping and all the hope you have for the new school year
how great all the supplies are until you draw all over or ruin them like i did.
or maybe it's nice to think they still make things the old fashioned way before we had to get all fancy and high tech with 5-Star 10 pocket 20 dollar notebook, 3-ring binder with a built in pencil pouch and dateplanner
or maybe it's because it's WIDE RULED...gives your words a place to breathe.
i think they also make great gifts. pick one up this week. i think you'll be glad you did.

It's Saturday Morning Cartoon Commercials Day!...


i wish i had known about this youtube clip when i posted a few weeks ago

J-E-L-L-O...

i don't really like to eat jello (especially my aunt ida's jello mold)
maybe it's because jello makes me think of what they serve in hospital cafeterias
...but seriously, jello is an incredibly beautiful food(?)
let's take a moment to enjoy how very beautiful jello is with these photographs courtesy of artist Magda Wojtyra--you can also check out more of her awesome pics on flickr




there's always room for pictures of jello.

Completely random youtube video...

of the week.

if you were 15 and had lots and lots of emotions i'm sure you'd do the same thing.
also, have i shared with you how much i love Avenue Q--of course with most things these days you can find some version of it on youtube.

and i <3 Veronica Mars


this past weeks episode featured a great line:
"The 70's had the Hustle, the 80's the moonwalk, we've got the faux lesbian dance"
i really love veronica because she reminds me of one of my first loves:
Encyclopedia Brown
i had a major crush on TV's EB

Anyone catch The Colbert Report last nite...

count how many times Jane Fonda kisses Stephen Colbert on the mouth

"No tricky dance moves...

no high impact gyrations
(come on you know the rest...don't act like you couldn't recite this in your sleep.)

...instead, this video combines light weight training exercises at a heart pumping cardio pace"


Yes! it's the late night creepy infomercial of
John Basedow. Is it just me or does he gets weirder and weirder looking with each new set of commercials?


and yet the quality of the commercials seems to to stay about the same rate of a style known as "i shot this and around my home"
Personally, i've always been partial to Ron Popeil for my infomercial/commercial viewing pleasure--

but if John is more your bag--by all means add him to your myspace friends

Have mercy....

come on now, be honest.
You always wondered how DJ Tanner
got such a hot boyfriend
i know it's only tv, but i think
the creators of Full
House
had a moral responsibility to not give a false
impression of what dating in high school is like. Kids if you look like
DJ you probably WON'T be dating Steve...and if you look like KimmyGibbler--god help you.


you guys you know i'm only kidding, it's just so easy to take shots and candice cameron cause her brother's such a wacko.

from Penn & Teller's: Bullsh&*$ on Alien Encounters.
