Thoughts, News, etc.

28 Jan 2008

New Kids on the Block are back?? WHAT? Okay, kind of. At least not NOW- but with the success of the reunited Spice Girls (which still confuses me to death), I’m sure they’ll give it a go too. This seems like the perfect time to admit that I do, in fact, have a NKOTB song in my music library. I even listen to it sometimes, when I’m drunk.

I PROMISE that I will get over this, but for now I must rant: Some jackass with an advertising blog tried to throw an ad for credit cards, or something having to do with them, in my comments today. I’m all for making money and if you’re doing that with your blog- high five. But keep that shit away from the fish.

There’s a spy satellite somewhere in space that’s out-of-control and hurtling towards Earth. It should be crashing late February to early March, and no one knows where it will land. How can you know about it in the first place, yet not have a clue where it’s gonna come from/end up? Oh, and did I mention that it weighs 20,000 pounds and is the size of a small bus? Uh, yeah. Pretty sure someone needs to start devoting a LOT more time to that bitch.

My beloved iPhone completely crashed today and I couldn’t even turn it off. I received a voice mail, listened to it, erased it- and then the screen went black. It seemed to have recovered about 10 minutes later. SO glad they got the kinks out before they sold it for hundreds of dollars. It’s ok though- I forgive them.

This happened Friday the 25th: In Madrid, Thomas Delgado, who was speeding, hit 17 year-old Enaitz Iriondo, who was riding his bike, and killed him. As if that wasn’t painful enough for that poor boy’s family, Mr. Sensitive is SUING them for the damage done to his car when Enaitz’s body hit it. He also wants them to pay for his rental while his car is being fixed. I am SO not kidding. He even told a local newspaper: “I’m also a victim in all of this, you can’t fix the lad’s problems, but you can fix mine.” Seriously? Wow.

I don’t know if any of you have ever been to the Rachael Ray Sux Community, but if you want to laugh (and you’re kind of mean) you should check it out. Personally, I don’t know Rachael Ray, so I can’t say if I like her or not- but those folks really, really don’t like her and some of what they write is seriously hilarious. Again, if you’re kind of mean, which I am. And I do have to admit that she annoys me sometimes, which is why I don’t watch her shows. But I’m sure she’s a very nice person.

And that’s all for today. Peace and comfy shoes.

Today’s Random Discoveries

* I LOVE LifeSavers Wild Berry Sours Gummy candy. So sour, yet so sweet. In the weird words of Rachael Ray: YUMMO.

* Billy Bush, from Access Hollywood, is my new boyfriend. I watched him on Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader tonight and now I want to marry him. Except he’s already married. (Sad face.)

* iTunes is going to be the death of me. Soooooooo much musical goodness all packaged up in one little place, on my computer (and now my phone!). The fact that I’ve discovered all of their 80’s compilation albums is not helping. What’s shocking is that I haven’t purchased any Prince!! (Yet.) What have I been THINKING?? I’m so ashamed.

* After having done laundry for the last TWO days… I’ve decided that I own way too many white t-shirts. So if you see me in one every time you see me, it’s not the same one you saw last time.

* In the unlikely event that iTunes does not kill me, I’m fairly certain that Crash Twinsanity (for PS2) will. They really need to make saveable checkpoints closer together. Having to do a whole (not so easy) area over and over and over again is getting on my nerves.

* When I get old and jowly- I am SO hitting up the Lifestyle Lift people. Look at this before and after! Are you KIDDING me?

Why would I want to look like a grandma when I could look like a stripper?? All I know is: I have their number and when it’s time… I’m usin’ it.

That’s it for this fine Thursday. I have a LOT of new music to listen to, so I’m going to go and do that now.

Peace and comfy shoes.

Crazy 80’s Girl

Posted in: 80's, blog
10 Jan 2008

Oh. My. God. I was looking for blogs similar to mine (to put in a blogroll) and ran across the most fabulous blog I’ve ever seen. It’s not random like mine, it’s themed: The best theme ever! The 80’s! (Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam is playing in the background, as I write this, from that blog!)

Being that I am a child of the 80’s (I wasn’t born in them, I grew UP in them)… and love ALL things 80’s (my HEAVEN is going to be the 1980’s… Head’s up, God)… This blog made my heart skip a beat. It makes me want to wear a Frankie Goes to Hollywood t-shirt, throw my hair in a side ponytail and dance like Madonna.

So if YOU love the 80’s… Ya GOTTA check this out b/c it will be memory lane ALL DAY for you. I have never been, nor can I foresee ever being, this happy about a blog. Thank you, Crazy 80’s Girl… for this fabulous contribution to the Internet.

Digg!

Random Thoughts

09 Jan 2008

I’ve been watching a little TV, surfing around the Internet, reading my friends’ blogs on MySpace and thinking random thoughts and here’s what I came up with for tonight:

• Britney Spears is a train wreck. Her whole family is a train wreck. Lynn Spears should reconsider that book on parenting because she obviously only knows how NOT to go about it. On the bright side: Dr. Phil paid Britney a visit. If anyone can slap her back to the real world… he can. I really hope that works out. I’m sick of her antics ending up in my newspaper.

• The People’s Choice Awards tonight was pathetic! Are you KIDDING me?? No audience. Just Queen Latifah in an ugly black dress and clips of what “the people” have chosen. Oh and flash backs to when the broadcast wasn’t so stupid. I can’t believe they even bothered. It was just SAD. After 10 minutes of sadness, and bewilderment, I moved on.

• My friend, Abby-Rose, wondered, (out loud) on my MySpace page, if perhaps I have PMDD (PMS on steroids). She came to this conclusion after reading my blog about me being a jerk. I told her that if I kill someone, I’ll look into it. Her comment made me cackle to myself. Silly Abby.

• I downloaded several vintage 80’s videos from iTunes last night and have spent a lot of today watching them over and over on my iPhone. George Michael (Monkey), Madonna (Borderline), INXS (What You Need), A-Ha (Take On Me), Duran Duran (The Reflex) and Michael Jackson (Thriller). I love, love, love my iPhone. I want to marry it and have it’s babies.

PerezHilton.com is addictive. I refuse to read tabloids but that site sucks me in. This somewhat perplexes me as I don’t usually care what goes on in the lives of the famous. (Usually, I said.) On a bitter note: I wish he’d stop the flow of Amy Winehouse reports. I’m OVER it. Every photo of her shows white powder caked in her fucking nostrils. She’s a drug addict, she cancels shows because she’s an irresponsible drug addict, she displays erratic behavior in public because she’s a coke freak, her husband is in jail, we get it. Enough already. When she doesn’t act like a zoo… that will be news.

Oops… slipped into a little rant there.

Ok, I am going to bed now.

Peace and comfy shoes.
