Okay, so I watch America’s Next Top Model. I admit it. It’s my dirty little secret. But I have to take a moment to say that the token plus-sized model they always have on every season who always gets bumped off for lame-assed reasons…finally WON.
Go Whitney!
And it’s sad they call her plus sized, cuz she’s as big as my thigh, but I’m gonna call this a win for the junk in the trunk girls anyway. :)
So, I was over at Romance Divas today (as per usual) and someone brought up and old 1980s song that I refuse to mention because I don’t want it stuck in your head like it was for me.
But it got me thinking about some of my favorite 80s songs and bands. I decided to torture you with a few choice videos.
First up, Gun n Roses Sweet Child O Mine (hairbands at their finest here, ladies and gents)
Paula Abdul Opposites Attract (the cartoon cat slays me every time)
Am I the only one who enjoys a good 80s flashback? Hee!
One of my students pointed this out to me–a short film directed by Lena Khan. It’s called “A Land Called Paradise” and was the winner from the One Nation Film Contest. I thought it was beautifully done.
Quite the combo, no? I ripped this off of Leah Braemel’s blog, who got it from The Goddess Blogs, a spot where one of my fellow Utah chapter-mates, Nicole Jordan, does her bloggy thang. (Julia London, who originated the post, defines the ‘flying monkey category’ as being: It wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad, it was somewhere in the middle, sort of grotesquely fun.)
Three things I like about me:
1. I have awesome hair. Everyone deserves a vanity, baby, and that’s mine. I slap a lil mousse in it and have the kind of curls my friends pay a bazillion bucks to get. Woot.
2. I’m not afraid to voice an opinion (loudly). Trust me, where I come from, women who speak their minds are not appreciated–especially if they’re arguing with a man. You know I like arguing with men, right? ;)
3. I’m usually a pretty good friend. Not totally made of awesome, but not craptastic either.
Three things that could stand improvement:
1. I’m fat. Yeah, I know. Shocking, right? I should probably do something about it. Maybe. Ugh.
2. A social life that doesn’t include friends/other writers on the phone would be good.
3. I should do laundry more often. And the dishes. And vacuuming. Maybe mopping. Definitely cleaning the bathtub. Okay, that’s more than three. I’m done now.
Three flying monkey things about me:
1. I just did my taxes yesterday. I usually do them like February 1, but writing like mad to meet my first Kensington deadline–well, housework wasn’t the only thing that went by the wayside.
2. I failed grammar and passed calculus (barely). It’s weird that I write now–but, ya know, still suck at grammar.
3. I’ve lived in every time zone in the U.S. and still like the one I was born in best.
So, someone showed me the creepiest video of all time, and of course, I had to share.
I haven’t able to stop watching.
It’s posted over at The Novelty Girls. Go look.
A “who’s hotter” smack down quiz! I thought we’d do something different–and in tribute to my (and the Mad Madam M’s) favorite show, Supernatural.
Here’s the video for my upcoming release, Treasured. It’ll be available next month. Yay!
I think I might spend too much time on YouTube. But then I realize that half of what I see there, the Mad Madam M sends me, which means she spends more time there than I do, and I feel a little better. But then I also realize that if I spend more time there like M then I could find even more little gems like these two videos and I could share them with those of you unfortunate enough to be reading my blog today.
First, we have a three year old’s take on the original Star Wars movie. This would be the very first one ever released, and thus part of the good trilogy. Don’t get me started on the crap that came out later.
Then, we have a 23 year old’s take on the 3 year old’s review. Too funny!
Good night and good luck!
The Mad Madam M has a distinct hatred of acronyms. I can only imagine how she handles those commercials where the kids and grandmother speak in text message acronym lingo until the mom goes: “I have completely failed you as a parent.”
So, in honor of that, here is the dorkiest, yet funniest, video on internet acronyms I’ve ever seen. It even has a song reminiscent of the Muppets. :)
Ohmygod! This is just…wow. I don’t like spiders. They totally freak me out, but this was too damn funny!
