A place for the mind-numbing thoughts that run through my head

How do you say hilarious in Mandarin?

In an attempt to appeal to as many markets as possible (and get ridiculous lyrics stuck in their head too) Avril Lavigne recorded several "alternative language" versions of Girlfriend. She hit up Japanese, Spanish, Portugese etc. But my favorite HAS to be the Mandarin version. Swizzle played it for me in Israel but I didn't know they looped the lyrics over her video as well! So sit back, relax and enjoy the sheer absurdity of Avril.

PS-Note how sometimes the Mandarin has to be sped up because it contains more words than the English version.

PPS-"You're like, so whatever" is officially my favorite lyric of ALL TIME

Foundation or Spackle?


I'll admit it, I like Danity Kane (Showstopper! Show, show stopper!) and Aubrey is far and away my favorite girl in the group. But what the fuck is she doing to her face? It's like when you were in High School and the girls with bad acne would just OD on foundation and bronzer and think no one noticed. Well guess what? We noticed then and we notice now and it still looks like shit.

That is all

When Rebecca met Hilary: a dialogue


Rebecca: So let's see, I was the Noxema girl, then I was on 90210, then I killed a kid with my car and now I'm married to McSteamy.
Hilary: Did you say you killed a kid with your car?
Rebecca: Yea, but I also said I was on 90210! You know, "Donna Martin Graduates!"
Hilary: I don't know what that is, but it was nice meeting you(nervous laughter, looks around for someone who wasn't convicted of manslaughter) I'm gunna go, but thanks for your support. Did you valet your car?

A Spontaneous Poem for Waitress


The little movie that could
Adrienne you still should
be here to see it thrive
through the movie you are alive

a perfect experience that is sweet and tart
but it is Keri that gives it a heart
she and Nathan couldn't be better
if I could, I'd knit them a sweater

Thanks for the laughs
thanks for the tears
Waitress is a movie I will watch for years

The rhyme is done, applause all around, now make sure this gem of a movie is found

You, and your ascot, will be missed

Misguided moments in advertising

Last night I was watching Tuesday's third-to-last episode of Veronica Mars (sniff) and I noticed something odd: instead of running standard commercials for the first 30 minutes of the show, it appeared CoverGirl had bought the ad time and was airing a makeover series instead. Great way to promote your product, sure. But what really threw me off was the tagline The CW had come up with for this campaign

Now I love the idea of The CW incorporating their initials into other aspects of the network, but this typography reads like “kwhat’s” not “see what’s”

So let’s hope The CW is a little more detail oriented in the future otherwise that network is headed down the Chitter

See! I'm not crazy

Why don't people listen to me? I've been trying to warn you all for years, and and no one wants to listen to me. Well, see what happens when you ignore my warnings?!?!

She chatted with a man under police supervision and told him that she was 12.According to an arrest affidavit, the person chatting with her replied, "That's OK. I dated a 16 and 14-year-old girl." He had used the screen name "Tony805."Police said the man sent her Web camera images of him committing sex acts in front of the camera and then made arrangements with her for sex.

He listed his occupation as a clown and said he was "just clowning around till I find what I'm looking for."

Auf with her head


I miss Project Runway.

It's my guiltiest of pleasures. I miss hearing Heidi say "Nina Garcia" and "lowest scores"

Bottom line, I love Heidi, love PR and I love, love, love this pic of her!
