Hey, I Live There!

I got really excited that Peter's Friends mentions Gloucester Road in "The Underground Song."

Stephen Fry Thinks My State is Lame

Sort of a bummer, but at least he knows where it is.

Polish Video Games

They can't win a war, but they can play Snake.

Get Up On The Dancefloor!

Sabina and I need to learn how to Vogue properly. Observe us at the BWE, more on this later when I have time to write. And it's not midnight.

Shocker! Our Government Has A Sense of Humor

I was tooling around the TSA website to see if there were any new airline restrictions or whatever (there are), but I found this little gem about what to do.

Cheesy as Velveeta, people.

Bear Left, Dogg.

So I saw this on SNL and EW.com, and thought it was hilarious. Apparently, Tom Tom GPS systems have gotten Snoop Dogg to be a celebrity navigator. He recorded his voice so that when you jump in your car and don't want to get lost, Snoop Doggy Dog will get you to the do'.

I Sort Of Love Al Gore

He went green. He's a democrat. He's (somewhat) eloquent. He's been on SNL and 30 Rock. And he knows what a "Chyron" is. And we didn't elect him. Discuss.

Clinton Intervention

So in case you don't know, late night ginger Conan O'Brien and oddly famous Mayor Cory Booker (Newark, NJ) have been having a ridiculous fight because O'Brien made an awesome joke at Newark's expense. It has gotten SO bad that even our Secretary of State took notice.
I didn't like Hilary Clinton much before, but the girl does have a sense of humor.

This Blog is Full of Spices

I have a confession to make: I have this weird fascination with Alan Rickman. Specifically, his voice.

Allie, KellyPaul and I have had long discussions about this - which usually end in a pretty terrible imitation of him that I do - and really, it's an issue. If Alan Rickman came through a drive through, would you answer the speaker? Especially if his voice came through there?

Like, if you heard Snape asking for a large fry and a Coke?

I wouldn't know if he was trying to seduce me or kill me with that drawl. Enjoyable either way, for sure, but nerve wracking.

I Gotta Feeling That This Kid Will Be A Star

I've been the girl who takes weird pictures on the Apple Store Photobooth before. Really, who doesn't? But this kid was in the Manhattan Apple Store and decided to videotape himself lipsynching to the Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling" and then put it on YouTube.
Which...it's just kind of funny and cute.

And You Thought I Was Bad

Two brothers. Five minutes. One hundred movies spoiled.

100 Movie Spoilers in 5 Minutes

I must meet these men.

Hey Ithacappella: Here's An Idea!

Of all the songs I would like them to sing, it would be this one that the Friars wrote. Because it's true. And it's funny because it's true.

I Don't Think It's About Gardening

I thought that we as a society had all gotten past the whole feminine product commercial awkwardness. I mean, yeah, you don't want to think about what it's for, but it's necessary, and television ads reach pretty much all the customers these companies would ever ask for. But I was watching some pointless countdown on E! today and this commercial came on for the Schick Quattro bikini line trimmer.

I understand that hygiene and proper grooming are important, but it's not really all that subtle what they're referring to. And really, I don't want to watch commercials about a product to trim pubes. I'm not morally outraged or anything, I'm just saying that the commercial is a little awkward. I will give it this, though: it's waaaaaaaaay more subtle than this version.

(Although that second version is pretty funny. Thanks to my old roomie for that viral bit)
