Or maybe I was the one who got drunk. Anyway, here are the worst things in the world.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. I walked into Target the other day to buy a winter coat, and what did I see? Not only are women's swimsuits already on sale, but they are RIGHT NEXT TO THE WINTER COATS. Presumably because the flasher look is so in? Target, I can overlook the fact that the Valentine's Day merchandise is already out- in a stunning double whammy of poor placement, right next to the 50% off Christmas candy- mostly because it led me to said super-cheap boxes of Ghiradelli chocolates with snowflakes on the label. BUT THE BATHING SUITS?!? In the words of Garfunkel and Oates, What the fuck's your fucking problem?! </div><div><br /></div><div><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TTHcX_zJO5I/AAAAAAAAAY0/rYJY9vO1kvc/s320/gilmore-girls-friday-fighting-04.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562469319600323474" /></div><div>Let's ignore the obvious for a second (that it's currently below freezing temperature), and focus on the fact that no one, I repeat, NO ONE is going to want to try on bikinis so soon after spending the holidays stuffing their pieholes with, well, pie. We haven't even seen the obligatory "Get that bikini bod!" magazine covers shipped straight from Hell yet. Maybe your idiocy is what's killing all the goddamned birds in Arkansas, Target.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>2. THIS:</div><div><a href="http://www.pureprotein.net/">http://www.pureprotein.net/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>"These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration."</div><div>NOR BY ANYONE WHO KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND WELL.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>3. After years of being forced to listen to NPR on the way to church, I've developed an aversion to its programming*, specifically <i>This American Life</i>. I decided to give <i>TAL</i> another shot, as I now have 40 hours per week of quiet-office-job that needs to be filled with podcasts. I was listening to an episode in which a man interviewed his friend who had recently attempted suicide (with a plan to give the friend an edited version of the interview in the hopes that it would deter him from attempting again later). Well, the friend attempted suicide again, and he succeeded. And in between the short exchanges between the man and his friend, <i>TAL</i> is playing this dopey dentist office music, which is dumb but not as pants-shittingly infuriating as what they did next.</div><div><br /></div><div>THEY PLAYED <i>JUMPER</i> BY THIRD EYE BLIND. As in- I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend. <i>THIS AMERICAN LIFE</i>, YOU ARE TACKY, AND I HATE YOU. How incredibly tasteless. You're remembering someone who committed suicide, not playing filler at my 8th grade sock hop. </div><div><br /></div><div>AND THEN TODAY, an online news source had brief descriptions about the people killed in the shooting in Arizona, and one of them included an R.I.P. tweet from someone affiliated with the news source. 140 characters doesn't scream heartfelt; it says, our self-promotion is more important than your memory. If I ever succumb to an untimely or unusual death, and someone pulls this shit, their ass is getting seriously haunted.</div><div><br /></div><div>*With the exception of <i>Car Talk</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>4. DEAR CHER, THIS:</div><div><a href="http://getbangs.com/">http://getbangs.com/</a></div><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TTHcGKibQwI/AAAAAAAAAYs/0LanTSnrVm0/s320/gilmore-girls-friday-fighting-01.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562469013245346562" /><div><br /></div><div>You know how they stay in?! They've got a big chunk of tape on them that sticks to your hair- not your skin! YOUR HAIR. You know what is detectable? That spot where you clearly ripped out a layer of skin and hair on your forehead!!! I feel like somebody got drunk, passed out with a Biore pore strip on their hair, and thought, I can sell this! Oh my god. I just saw that they cost close to 50 bucks. My head hurts.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>5. This dude. On the metro. Was clipping his nails. HIS NAILS. HE CLIPPED HIS NAILS ON THE METRO AND LEFT THE CLIPPINGS ALL DEVIL-MAY-CARE ON THE FLOOR. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have to go. I cut my foot earlier, and my shoe is filling up with blood.</div><div><br /></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889924631943504756noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045511788908059845.post-39808280768094429712010-12-01T11:47:00.000-08:002010-12-01T11:58:17.420-08:00Suit Up! with Mindy Kaling and Winona Ryder<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Another double suit up day!</div><div><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TPam6UkGi7I/AAAAAAAAAYg/EV-ONBcwbPM/s400/IMG_2095r_full.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545803512036101042" /><br /><div>Mindy Kaling getting measured on <i>The Ellen Degeneres Show</i>.<br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TPam0WTkXwI/AAAAAAAAAYY/2iJBaY08W10/s400/107220324_10_01.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545803409424408322" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Way to channel Johnny Depp AND rock the middle part, Winona.

A white background is essential. It symbolizes the vast abyss where a plot should be. Add a slight gradient if you're feeling dangerous, but be warned, cityscapes (<i>Just Like Heaven, The Object of My Affection</i>) and blurry whirlwinds of emotion (<i>Forces of Nature, Serendipity</i>) are really advanced stuff and not to be taken lightly. Like witchcraft.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Add protagonist(s) looking coy and flirty or shocked at love!

Frickin' really? Unless you intend to bring her back through a series of hallucinations that are caused by your brain tumor, I'm not interested.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">Strike 2:</span></div><div><br /></div><div><i>Life As We Know It</i>? ARE YOU SERIOUS? Oh, for a second there, I got you confused with the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKHFUjNw70A">late eighties family dramedy</a> with the girl from <i>The Face on the Milk Carton</i> movie and the boy that had Down syndrome. No? Then you must be the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1U1B_iS94E">Angelina Jolie movie</a> where she plays a reporter who has a week to live, according to a homeless Tony Shalhoub. STILL NO? Then you must be the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ROdXysjNGg&feature=related">2004 high school TV drama</a> with Kelly Osbourne and Piz from <i>Veronica Mars</i>? NOT THAT ONE EITHER? OH, THEN YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE THE ONE WITH THE MOST UNORIGINAL, NONDESCRIPTIVE, AND OVERUSED TITLE EVER CREATED? Yes, that's the one.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">Strike 3: </span></div><div><br /></div><div>Let's do a little plot summary: </div><div>1. Relative dies and leaves single person(s) with child. Enter bodily function-related shenanigans. Single person(s) becomes slightly less selfish, slightly more responsible. Child(ren) become at peace with their parent(s) death and completely well-adjusted in the course of an hour and forty minutes. </div><div>2. ALSO, Two hot people who hate each other are forced to spend time with one another due to unlikely circumstances. Hot Woman is high-strung and uppity, while Hot Man is the perpetual man-child bachelor. Hot Man points out Hot Woman's fatal flaw, about which she has been in denial for, oh, say 28 years. Hot Woman realizes Hot Man is not such a bad guy after all. Kiss kiss, bang bang.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now, let's make lists.</div><div><br /></div><div>1.</div><div><i>Raising Helen</i></div><div><i>Baby Boom</i></div><div><i>No Reservations</i></div><div><i>Summerland</i></div><div><br /></div><div>2. </div><div><i>27 Dresses </i></div><div><i>The Proposal</i></div><div><i>Runaway Bride</i></div><div><i>Sweet Home Alabama</i></div><div><i>Two Weeks Notice</i></div><div><i>Music and Lyrics</i></div><div>...every other movie ever...</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">Bonus Strike 4:</span></div><div><br /></div><div>Your typography sucks. But I'll get to that one later.</div><div><br /></div><div>In case I wasn't clear, the chances of me paying $9.00 to see this movie is just about even with the chances that Sonny Bono will rise from the dead, tell me that he's really into bigamy and time machines now- he's been watching a lot of TLC- and he wants to bring me back to 1970 to be both his and Cher's wife. Of course, Cher will give birth to Winona Ryder, I'll give birth to Christina Ricci, and then we'll paint our bedrooms and have a dance party.</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TKPpgHT6vqI/AAAAAAAAAWg/usYHFNRlWv4/s1600/4502276754_c42a1a5c9e.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TKPpgHT6vqI/AAAAAAAAAWg/usYHFNRlWv4/s320/4502276754_c42a1a5c9e.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522514306014035618" /></a></div><div><br /></div></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889924631943504756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045511788908059845.post-35892923866031802432010-09-29T17:32:00.000-07:002010-09-29T17:53:12.129-07:00MFEO<div><br /></div><div>Yeah, I'm really excited for this.</div><div><br /></div><object width="420" height="338" id="kickWidget_138495_298371" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://serve.a-widget.com/service/getWidgetSwf.kickAction"><br /><!-- Firefox uses the 'data' attribute above, IE/Safari uses the param below --><br /> <param name="movie" value="http://serve.a-widget.com/service/getWidgetSwf.kickAction"><br /> <param name="FlashVars" value="affiliateSiteId=138495&widgetId=298371&width=420&height=338&mediaType_mediaID=video_1237942&autoPlay=0"><br /> <param name="wmode" value="window"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><br /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><br /></object><br /><br /><div>You mean it's not like this?

Sharpay and Marti don't get along at first, and Sharpay calls Marti "goth."

Props to both Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka for graduating from Disney to a show that entertains the possibility of an interracial couple.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 256px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TJbLIgVUyaI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/Y_Z4wfmaatM/s400/Picture+42.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518821740367890850" /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But wait! This is Marti's townie best friend. We know he's a townie because he's wearing flannel and works at "the docks"- I shit you not. We also know that, if he's not currently in love with Marti, he will realize that their lifelong friendship has quickly blossomed into a one-sided infatuation once he sees- and consequently feels threatened by- above hottie. How do we know all this? Duh, he's holding a camera. Also, Duckie over here practically said "Stay gold, Ponyboy" to her when she joined the squad. Seriously, dude?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 252px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TJbK-YKFnBI/AAAAAAAAAVI/QmrO-97zbN4/s400/e.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518821566374583314" /></div></div></div><br />So, let's recap. Marti's a badass. This is clear from her black nail polish, guitar-shaped luggage, and her could-be-a-boy's-name name. Oh, she also leans on trees. We've got a regular Jess Mariano on our hands here.<div><br /><div> <img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 186px; height: 260px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TJbMECC_TLI/AAAAAAAAAWQ/0H47Se1jpmQ/s400/Picture+40.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518822763030072498" /><br /></div><div>Let's face it, this show is probably for you.

With none of that silly plot stuff to come up with, biopics seem to be whipped up and shipped out faster than it takes you to properly pronounce "Joaquin Phoenix." The latest biopic (expected in 2012)- with by far the most ill-suited casting- is <i>Janis Joplin: Get It While You Can</i>, starring Amy Adams. And, after the initial mourning period caused by the realization that <a href="http://www.nbc.com/30-rock/video/retreat-to-move-forward/958321/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#339999;">Joplin won't be played by Jenna Maroney</span></a>, I got to thinking, <i>Wow, I could cast better than that</i>, and by Cher, I'm going to.</div><div><br /></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 166px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TIxe86aNDjI/AAAAAAAAAVA/MyT8i-dpDm0/s320/amyadamsjanisjoplin" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515888044186340914" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1. THE OBVIOUS.</div><div><br /></div><div>I personally believe that the film industry took a big hit last year with the loss of actor Patrick Swayze. His contributions to film and television over the past 30 years should be commemorated in a biopic I've titled <i>The Outsider: The Patrick Swayze Story</i> starring...Neil Patrick Harris. NPH is perfect for this role- he can sing, he can dance, and he can certainly star in the Broadway version of <i>Grease</i>. </div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TIxerm6ruHI/AAAAAAAAAU4/yQD8KDiSJSM/s1600/nphpatrickswayze.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 177px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_e3GXZjl-oLU/TIxerm6ruHI/AAAAAAAAAU4/yQD8KDiSJSM/s320/nphpatrickswayze.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515887746896083058" /></a><div><br /></div><div>And, I mean, HELLO...</div><div><br /></div><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NLTbvd_zFHY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NLTbvd_zFHY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>2.

Also, he got kicked out of a few countries, got the shit beat out of him in San Francisco, and had to relearn how to play the trumpet with dentures.

I want Dax Shepard to portray him in this hypothetical biopic. He hasn't always played the admirable authority figure, but, hey, he was on Bonnie Hunt's sitcom, so that's gotta earn him some points.

Most of the time, this is utterly infuriating, especially when you know that no matter how many <i>Land Before Time</i> movies they make (thirteen), the dinosaurs are all still going to die.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, this is one tetralogy I can get behind. (You can say "tetralogy" or "quadrilogy"; either way, you'll sound smart. And nerdy.) Let's recap: </div><div><br /></div><div><i><b>Scream</b></i> </div><div>Drew Barrymore is awesome. Garage doors are scary. Who names their child "Skeet" anyway?</div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><b>Scream 2</b></i><b> </b></div><div>No one remembers anything about this one. It was set at a college, and Roseanne's sister was the killer. Still no? Eh, okay.</div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><b>Scream 3</b></i> </div><div>Hysterically self-referential. Heather Matarazzo cameo. Also with Noel from <i>Felicity</i>, Parker Posey, Jenny McCarthy, and the chick with bird bones from <i>30 Rock</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Scream 4</i> includes series veterans Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette, and cast additions include <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvBb_HZ2bXo">Alison Brie</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQqZZsOdc0k">Rory Culkin</a>, Hayden Panettiere, and Adam Brody. First of all, there's a 97% that this film will satisfy my desire to see a Hayden Panettiere character die, a desire that sadly went unfulfilled throughout two seasons of <i>Heroes</i> and the third <i>Bring It On</i> movie. Secondly, the <i>Scream</i> franchise seems to be setting a tradition of smokin' P.I.s by casting Adam Brody as "Detective Hoss"; if you recall, Patrick Dempsey played the part in the third installment.</div><div><br /></div><div>And, as an added bonus to my <i>Scream 4</i> psychage, I learned that the killer's title is "Ghostface Killer." I actually think they've called him or her that throughout the entire series, but, when I hear it, I can't stop thinking of, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1WY_BxSnD8&feature=related">"Yo Yo Ma and Ghostface Killah to the stage for 'Muffin Top'."</a></div><div><br /></div>Laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06889924631943504756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045511788908059845.post-4608750000972395852010-08-05T21:05:00.000-07:002010-08-05T21:11:16.146-07:00Cute, in a tough, mumbly kind of way.<div><br /></div><div>Hey, Lucy Slash Gia!
