You May Not Realize...We Can Hear You

This morning I was shopping at Borders for some birthday cards. It is a beautiful day here and people are pretty excited about the warm weather. One woman was so cheery that she was singing...out loud...in the store. Here's the thing - maybe I wouldn't be so disturbed if this didn't happen fairly frequently around town. I get that people like to sing. Maybe they're even good at singing. That's great for them. But it is so bizarre that they choose to do it in public when going about their every day business. The woman in the store was on her way to the bathroom. Yes, just singin' a little ditty on into the bathroom. I think we partly have mp3 players to blame. When you're listening to a song, it's only natural to want to sing, or at least hum along. Normal people can resist that urge when in a public place. Do the others just feel like it's no big deal, or that their singing is so good that people will thank them for bringing song into their otherwise boring day? I need answers. Why do you guys think people sing in public?

The G: Simpson Baby Buzz

Apparently Jessica Simpson doesn't think the media is paying enough attention to her. To turn the bright lights back on her, she made the following comments (thanks to MSN):

"I want to adopt, and I plan to adopt before I have my own kids," the pop star recently told TV's "Extra."
"I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing, amazing things, and the international adoption rate just since her has skyrocketed," she said. "It's unbelievable."

We all witnessed on Newlyweds that Jessica Simpson struggles to take care of herself. I don't think she should be allowed to be responsible for another's life. I guess you could say it's nice that she wants to adopt a less-fortunate child. But she's obviously seen what adopting did to put Angelina in the spotlight and hopes it will work the same way for her. Please Jessica, don't do it.

We're Fun Girls!

Guess who partied at Tao recently? B. Spears and K-Fed! They went to celebrate his birthday and probably sat at the very section that we sat down in before we were made to leave! I'm pretty excited that we can say we convinced the bouncer to let us in based purely on the fact that we were fun (and paying $20 each). Turns out that we weren't all that fun, though. For example: dropping a beer bottle on the floor and promtly leaving the scene; spending half the time waiting in the line for the bathroom; being told to leave a reserved section for people like Spears and K-Fed; and getting wheeled out of the Venetian (that's all you, Owens). While I'm sure this isn't what the bouncer had in mind as "fun girls," I had an awesome time! And at least no one had to tell us to, "Smile, it's not THAT bad!" because I seriously would have messed them up.

Look at what I FOUND

This week is the AA Film Festival here at the Theater. They have a lot of activities planned for the opening night, including a speaker from the magazine FOUND. I went to their website and I must say that I was entertained for quite some time. They publish notes, doodles, to-do lists and whatever else makes its way into the hands of the editors. I strongly encourage you to check it out!

Are you guys okay?

Did everyone watch 8th and Ocean the other night? I just watched it last night and I'm now concerned about you guys. Neither of you had anything to say about Vinci wearing little boys underwear. It was just a flash of his rear that we saw, but it was very obvious that Vinci does not fancy boxers or even boxer briefs. I think this may be why he is such a little jerk. He's probably uncomfortable all day so he makes others pay by complaining about having to wake up at 9:30!!! Ridiculous. I'm a little surprised Irene didn't slap him when he said he couldn't go to sleep becuase all he could think about was having to get up so early.

Early is not 9:30am, little Vinci. I hate him.

Venting

Cheaters never win. Never. Or if they do, they eventually get caught and have their medals taken away or their banners torn down. They never win in the long run.

In the past two weeks, I have caught six kids cheating on their assignments. How hard is it to type out a business letter and put some clip art at the top? Not hard at all. But they still copied each other's work. Didn't even move things around and in some cases, left the wrong initials on the letter. DUH! If you're going to cheat, at least be a little smarter about it.

I cheated once in the eight grade on a spelling test. I was thisclose to getting caught, and after that I never cheated again. Not because I'm particularly noble, but because I was scared of getting in trouble.

If I catch anyone else cheating, I might just toss them out the window. Scratchthat. I will toss them out the window.

Lighten up, it's just FASHION!

Tonight is the night. It's the big finale of Project Runway!! I'm a new convert to the show. I started watching about midway through the season, but thankfully Bravo has a marathon every day, and I've been able to catch up. It is so awesome!! Santino is really annoying and cocky, but I think he's got a great final collection. And his impressions (Tim Gunn, Michael Kors, etc.) are some of the funniest things I've ever heard. I think that Daniel V. is adorable and I really want his collection to be better...perhaps the runway will help. And Chloe is cute too, but I just don't know if she's committed enough. Honestly, I wish that Nick was still in it, because I really liked him and his clothes (he has a faux-hawk!). So, tonight when Heidi Klum says (in her slightly agitating voice), "you're in!" I predict she says it to Santino.

Unfortunately, You're Not a Witch

Obviously, 8th and Ocean is the new show for MTV. Because I know she reads our blog, I just wanted to give Sabrina a few tips.

1. Consider not wearing a trucker hat or a track jacket to a casting call. Especially when you wear them together, it makes you look like Spears, and that ain't good.
2. Look into changing your name. The name Sabrina only really works for teenage witches.
3. Quit whining about your sister getting all the jobs. She has way more personality than you so get over it and work harder.
4. When the photographer says "don't move," don't move. Seems simple enough to me.

I'm being harsh, I know, but it's only because I want success for you! I really do. However, until you take a few of these tips to heart, I will continue to root for your sister Kelly. Burn...

Random Tee

What size t-shirt would you prefer? Would you like unisex or girlie? Check out gofugyourself and let me know which kind of shirt you would order. I'm buying one for everyone because they are too awesome to pass up!

Money-Hungry Millionaires

To show our diversity, I thought I would post a little something on sports. I'm fairly sure the NFL is still having "labor talks", and even if it's been resolved, what I have to say still stands. Even the very worst major league players in any sport make enough money to be shown on "MTV Cribs" or to pimp their ride. Therefore, the general public should never be subjected to pro players whining about money. Even if the negotiation talks are very complex, and when you really look at it the players aren't just talking about money, we still don't need to hear about it. All it does is turn fans, who by the way make on average every year what these guys make per game, away from the sport.

That is why I will always prefer college sports over the pros. Not only do the kids seem to care more and play harder, but they can't go on strike. Ever. It won't happen. And one more thing, with March Madness fast approaching... GO DUKE!!

Oscar the Grouch

Did either of you watch the Oscars last night? I watched all of it and oh my god was it boring. I forgot how almost everything after the best supporting actor and actress was the technical stuff. It was definitely the most unexciting awards show of the year. I think a lot of people are upset about Crash winning. I was surprised, only because all the buzz had been on Brokeback. But, I haven't seen Crash so I can't really say what I liked better. JOn Stewart was really funny and I think my favorite quote was, "In case you're keeping score, Martin Scorsese: 0 Oscars, 3 Six Mafia: 1."

About Our Friends

Can we just talk for a minute about Nick and Jessica? It's almost like I don't hear the gossip about them anymore because I'm immune to it or something. Anyway, our devotion to The Newlyweds, I believe, earns them a place on our blog. Right now, Jessica and her banana lips are on my nerves. She did the nasty with Adam Levine, while married to one of the best looking guy's around. If that doesn't show her intelligence level, I don't know what will.

Nick is gallavanting around with Ms. Kentuck (that's how they refer to Kentucky in Uncle Tom's Cabin and I enjoy it), who rivals Pam Anderson with her ginormous boobs. But honestly, I'm okay with this. I think Nick got the raw end of the deal. I'm sure he has his jerkface moments like any other guys, but on the whole, he seems like a caring and supportive man. You can't blame him for running for the hills when faced with Joe "If I Have Anything to Say About It, I'll Always Be the Only Man in My Daughter's Lives" Simpson.

What do you girls think? Team Lachey or Team Simpson?

Lost: Sorry about that kidnapping thing

Finally, we know what happened to Claire and her baby! I'm glad that the crazy lady was redeemed in last night's episode, because she'll be a valuable ally if they choose to fight the Others. Right now, I'm very interested in the prisoner situation because he managed to get under Locke's skin...LOCKE!! He's the master of mind games, he should totally know that he's being played. I do think that the prisoner is lying and I'm pretty excited to see how that plays out. It could go any number of ways, because the writers on Lost are straight crazy.

The G: American Idol Attack

BREAKING NEWS! The American Idol girls have been attacked. That's right, attacked! I believe Mandisa suffered the worst. She basically had shreads of denim hanging off of her last night, while she watched the guys bore America to death. This leads me to believe that when the Denim attacked, she was the first to stand up to it. Others, including my favorite, Paris, also donned denim suits. Aside from Mandisa, the denim suits were about as clean cut as denim can get, which I assume means they saw what happened to Mandisa and simply gave in to Denim. All told, I counted FOUR denim suits out of ten female contestants. Four, forty percent, almost half, closing in on the majority... FOUR!! As of the end of the show, police were unable to apprehend the stylist who is allowing these girls to dress in denim suits. We can only hope the girls come to their senses on their own and realize that head-to-toe denim is never a good idea.

Downside of DVRs

I will not be posting any comments on the new Real World today and it's because of my DVR. It's such a great piece of technology to have and I depend on it as if it were my best friend. Well, yesterday we had a fight. I specifically remember programming it to record Real World. Alas, when I went to see the premiere of RW, after two somewhat boring hours of AI (I'm sure we'll talk more about that on another post) it was nowhere to be found. This has happened a few times before, and it's as if someone said they had a nice cold Coke in their fridge that I could have and then when we get there it's gone. In other words, devestating. I can only find solace in the fact that MTV religiously shows reruns of every show for the next several days and then, in case we missed anything during the season, there is always a marathon or two to count on.

Anyone else fight with their DVR or TiVo or whatever you have? Does it not feel like a really good friend has let you down?
