Bits & Pieces

25 05 2012

Hey ho,

Time for another round-up of bits and pieces that made my (three-day) week a bit better.

  • I recently re-watched Sixteen Candles because I found it for $5 at Walmart and thought – “Oh I’ve seen this but don’t own it??!! That’s weird. I love John Hughes movies. I thought I owned all of them. I watch The Breakfast Club like twice a month. Score!” And then I watched it and remembered that it kinda sucks (sorry!). I texted MM that I didn’t actually like the movie AT ALL and that it was beyond unrealistic, even for a teen flick. She…heartily disagreed with my opinion. But it turns out I’m not the only one who thinks Samantha Baker and Jake Ryan would never have worked in real life.
  • I hightailed it out of the suburbs so fast post-high school that I left roadrunner type cartoon smoke in my wake, and I haven’t looked back. I’m a total city girl, but sometimes I do long for certain aspects of the suburbs (mostly the Red Lobster and Costco). This article on ‘Top 10 Signs You Are Not a City Person’ made me laugh out loud (especially #4).
  • This twisted ponytail is going to be my go-to lazy summer hair style for hot days and hangover brunches.




Reason #12,546 Why Meth is Bad for You

13 11 2008

Check it. It’s no big secret that Brit Brit got herself a little meth habit a few years back. Girlfriend had to be cranked to keep up with the grueling tour schedule, press obligations, and Starbucks runs. And P.S., those Cheetos ain’t just eating themselves, yo. But this….THIS…well kids, let this be your PSA for Don’t Do Meth. According to promotional pictures for Britney’s new album Circus (which drops on December 2nd – her birthday, natch),  Brit Brit ain’t got no right arm. Shit.

 





On the Plus Side, There is Nary a Cheetoh Crumb on her Face

13 10 2008

So Brit Brit released her new video for Womanizer and it’s…not bad. It’s not amazing, but it’s not a train wreck. Her body is tighter than it’s been in years. No clue how she pulls that off on a steady diet of pork rinds and frappucino’s.

Here’s a link to the YouTube video which will likely be removed soon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fe7dT5Dtck

My issue with Britney is that she sings out of her nose on a fairly consistent basis. She’s always had this issue, but perhaps the meth addiction and Dollar Store hair extensions have worsened the problem? Not sure. And why why why must all of her songs in the last 2 years or so be over-synthesized to every inch of their life? Barely sounds human. Nose singing + robotic undertones = assy song. Sigh. I’ll still buy it on iTunes.

So back to the video. The dance moves are just ok. Not amazing. Nowhere near the quality of, say, Slave 4 U, but not embarrassing. Dancing is Brit Brit’s bread and butter, and this was more stale baguette and “I can’t Believe it’s not Butter” margarine, know what I’m saying? Stylewise, I like her best in the red wig with the leather vest. Meow. The scene in the limo at the end is brutal. She looks unclean and there’s prominent beer bloat around her chin(s).

Oh Britney, I’m still kind of relieved. I expected worse. Something more like, perhaps, this? http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1682242
