Ice Cream Has Never Looked Soo Good

Is it just me, or does GG have arguably one of the most sexiest casts on television?? The ad campaigns promoting the show are often scandalous in their own right (OMFG anyone??) as they attempt to hype up the sexuality factor of the show. However, as a religious viewer, even I have to admit that the show really isn't that sexy. But whatever, sex sells I guess. Regardless, it would be naive to neglect the fact that this show really has taken the masses by storm and has become quite infamous. Never before has a show become so popular that even celebrity bloggers take the time to actually blog about it. Also, the paparrazzi actually follow the cast mates...as they are FILMING! (Which often to leads to major events of the plot being revealed...I mean the majority of us knew that B and N would get back together a loooong time ago thanks to the pic of them kissing on set posted on like every blog!) Also, the cast mates consistantly land covers of many coveted magazines (New York, Vogue, and now Rolling Stone). I mean, you don't see the cast of Grey's Anatomy on the cover of Rolling Stone now do you? GG-mania has officially taken over. Josh Schwartz is a genius :)

Summer, How I Miss You So

Dear Snow,

FUCK OFF.

Sincerely,
Victor

Must Listen:
Here are a couple of tunes that are reminiscent of the summer and definitely worthy of your listening.

1) Orange SKy - Alexi Murdoch
2) Honey And The Moon - Joseph Arthur (one of my all-time favourite songs to listen to regardless of the shitty weather we're experiencing)

MEERRRRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

HAHAHA. What can I say?? BritBrit sure knows how to put on a show (and a HILARIOUS one at that)! Now whether she was on crack when she did this is definitely debatable, but I have to give it up to her to make me lol.

So basically, if you haven't already heard, on Tuesday night BritBrit was performing in D.C. and proving that she DOES lip sync, she decides to stop lip synching in between one of her songs, and screams (while running down the stage like a crackhead): "Meerrryy Christmas!!!" HAHAHA. Then after that, like any great perfomer, she continues "singing". Damn I wish I had tickets to her show :(
Lucky for you, this holiday cheer was captured on film!!! Here's the link:

Your welcome (and thank you Perez!!) ;)

This also wasn't the first time that Britney said something inappropriately funny. A while back, after finishing one of her songs and the lights began to dim as she lowered into the stage, she thought that her mic was off and accidently blurted out:
"My pussy was hanging out!!" HAHAHA. Everyone in the audience heard and was like wtf. Apparently, the outfit that she was performing in revealed even a little too much for the Britster. Oh Britney.

(Kind of a throw-back)Must Listen:
1) Trouble - Coldplay (That piano background is mesmerizing)
2) Wonderwall - Oasis

So it’s been a good ten days now since I last made an actual entry...you know, with words filling up the page as opposed to big pictures with captions! Well I have my list of “Oh-my-god-I’m-gonna-kill-myself” to thank for my blogging absence. But with the worst behind me, I'm back bitches and man have I got things to say!!

Sushi Saturday: For those of you that know me, you would know that SUSHI is my one true love. If I could marry food, I think I would propose to my beloved sushi. Anyhow, a couple of friends and I decided that we wanted to try sushi from a different place than our usual spots, so we ended up going to Blowfish Sushi Lounge. Okay first off, they weren't kidding when they say "lounge". The place was kind of small I have to admit - and it didn't help that we didn't have reservations so we ended up sitting on a side table?? I think that's what it was. Basically the 3 of us were facing the wall! But in its defense the place was really nice, and had a modern twist to its decor. Also the fact that there was actual blowfish in the tanks was also a plus (too bad they didn't puff up though). But here's the plus plus: THE SUSHI WAS DELICIOUS. It wasn't your traditional sushi, but the presentation was great and the un-authentic taste gave the sushi a modern twist. Definitely something different, and I highly recommend this place :)

The Return of GG: I have waited so long for this!! (one month to be exact) But with only 7 episodes left of this season, you know it's gonna get intense!! Here is some tidbits about what's gonna happen on gossip girl (CAUTION: SPOILERS!!!)

If you don't already know, B and N will rekindle their flame. But who's knows for how long. So long Chair and hello Nair???

Gorgina makes a come back. And this time she has Jesus on her side. No actually, she is SAVED!! OMJC (Oh my jesus christ!)

No doubt will perform!! But they won't play themselves, they'll play a band called Snowed Out (say that fast and you'll get it)

Brittany Snow may make an appearance portraying a teenage Lily Vanderwoodsen (PLus the spinoff show will air sometime in May)
& Let's just say that Serena may get a mugshot

Lastly: YAY WE GOT COLDPLAY TICKETS!!!! (and a bitch it was to get them!)

Must Listen:

Hometown Glory - Adele (Soo good!! Her voice is a-mazing)

The Youth - MGMT

Hot For Teacher

15/03/09

The wait is over.

Simply Genius

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole.
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound.
But while you debate half empty or half full.
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown.

Marching Bands Of Manhattan - DCFC.

Busy Busy

So last weekend I was privileged with having my biology midterm on Saturday. In the aftermath of that unnatural event (I mean school on a weekend?! That shit ain’t right), I felt like my weekend, or lack thereof, consisted of only one day – which by the way was a Sunday, so that’s not saying much! Is it just me? Or do you not agree that we all deserve a break? But no, when you’re in University Land, it’s like you’ve sold your soul to your academic advisor-devil, and you can say bye to your social life. It’s quite cruel actually, because the minute you think that you’re done all your midterms, more come storming in like this unwanted weather we’re experiencing right now! If school hasn’t given me a good enough reason to slit my wrists and soak in a bath, this weather will definately do it! Yeah, I went there. Seasonal Affective Disorder anyone?

My list of reasons for "Oh-my-god-i'm-gonna-kill-myself"...but not really because I'm just being dramatic:
Biology Lab Quiz – March 10 (TOMORROW)
Biology Animal Assignment – March 17
Sociology Paper – March 18
Anthropology Midterm – March 18
Sociology Midterm – End of month

And just when I thought I could breathe again.

On a less emo-esque note, COLDPLAY IS COMING TO CALGARY!!!!! This glorious announcement couldn`t have come at a better time! I am soo there :)

Must Listen:
1) Lost – Coldplay (HAH! How appropriate!)
2) Time To Pretend - MGMT

GaGa For GaGa

So I realize that her over-the-top leotards, platinum wig-hair (with the heavy bangs), and her tendency to wear big/dark sunglasses indoors at all times, may come off as a pair of shoulder pads short of gimmicky. However, some would argue that her style is fashion forward, innovative, and even retrofuturistic (I mean she’s bring shoulder pads back! And if anyone would come close to pulling off that look, it would be this bitch).

Regardless, I have to confess that I find her music infectiously catchy. I swear, after to listening to one of her songs, it becomes quite the challenge to remove her disco-pop-dancehall-with-a-modern-twist tunes out of my head. Mind you, this doesn’t come in handy when you’re trying to study for your biology midterm the next day, and all that’s dancing through your head is “Pa-pa-pa-poker face, Pa-pa-pa-poker face, mah mah mah mah.” Lessoned learned: No GaGa before an exam.

Anyhow, I just thought I’d give her some recognition as I think her sound is so fresh for the moment and she is a unique contender in today’s pop culture. In my opinion, she really sets a new bar for pop music. GO GAGA!

It’s also interesting to note that she was a musical prodigy at the age of 4 when she learned to play the piano by ear, and soon attended Convent of Sacred Heart (A Manhattan private school - with the infamous Hilton sisters). She later accepted an early admission into Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. So this girl isn’t all about “The Fame” she’s got actual talent.

Must Listen:
1) Starstruck -Lady GaGa
2) Beautiful Dirty Rich - Lady Gaga

Lastly, if you haven't already heard (this is her lastest single):
3) Love Game - Lady Gaga

Retrofuturism?

RETROfuturism:
"A total vision of the future as seen through the eyes of the past, often a utopian society characterized by high technology (relative to the base time), unusual or exaggerated artistic, architectural and fashion styles, and an abundance of consumer goods; its spirit of optimism and embracing of the status-quo is a contrast with cyberpunk, although in many cases the utopianism is presented in an intentionally ironic or camp light." -Wikipedia

This phrase was coined by Lloyd Dunn in 1983. (WHO is Lloyd Dunn?? I have no clue - but points to you for making up such a word!)

Must Listen:

1) Don't Let Me Fall - Lenka (This is the song in the lastest Telus commercial.)

It's Britney, Bitch.

So as many of you probably know by now, last night BritBrit kicked off her Circus tour in New Orleans. This is the first time in FIVE years that she’s back on tour – within those last five years; she spent 3 of them doing this:

Kfed, mothering his children (that’s gotta suck), getting fat in the process, shaving her head and then attacking a SUV with an umbrella right after, getting hospitalized, partying with paris and lilo, showing off her crotch several times, throwing hissy fits on the sets of magazine photoshoots, being whisked away in a stretcher from her home in the middle of the night, some more partying, attempting to get fit for the 2007 (or was it 2008?) Mtv movie awards where she then attempted to perform (but we all know how that went down – even her lip synching was off), letting her kids have a turn with the car, having a hit and run – CAUGHT ON FILM by the swarm of paparazzi that was there in action, dating a paparrazi, perfecting her British accent, was probably diagnosed bi-polar (but no one took that seriously because she’s Britney-fricken-Spears and as long as it was entertaining, then it couldn’t possibly have been harmful to her well-being), and then some.

Man, do I love using long descriptive run-on sentences. HOLY MACK.

She basically had the longest TRAINWRECK-CAR-CRASH-THAT-YOU-CAN’T-LOOK-AWAY-FROM meltdown of the last couple of years!! Well done Brit. Mariah Carey’s meltdown ain’t shit. But that was then.

Now I’m glad to see her back in her hair-whipping, to-the-syllable lip synching, sparkly belly-baring-ensemble-wearing glory. Yes, HAIR-whipping (well technically it's extensions, but in attempts to perserve the image of her in her pre-Kfed days, we'll pretend that it's real hair). Now the question of whether or not the show was actually any good...well that's debatable.

Must Listen:
If You Seek Amy - Britney Spears
(& If you don't get what why there's so much "controversy" about this song, just say "If You Seek Amy" repeatedly really fast. You'll get it.)

So I was in the middle of working on my sociology presentation (FthatS, I seriously couldn’t care less right now), and then I was overcome with a this sudden notion to BLOG! (Since it seems like everyone is doing so these days...why not join the bandwagon?) I feel like I have quite the opinion on things, and I intend on declaring it for your reading pleasure. So what’s on my mind?? Let’s see:

ONE.
CB and R's Reunion. Can I say WTF?!?! Are you on CRACK? Do you like being punched repeatedly, choked to the point where you lose consciousness, and oh yeah...BITTEN?!? (Again wtf). Sorry R, but abuse is abuse. I know how much you must think in your oh-so-fragile state of mind (and battered body for that matter) how much you "love" him, but bruises aren't a good look for you. Short hair + edgy clothing + cool tunes = yes. Black eyes + split lips + "devil horns" = hells no.
You know you’re a guilty remorseful woman beater when you’re photographed jet skiing & happily-flexing your muscles (Which by the way, you need not as we’ve all seen the picture of R. WE KNOW YOU’RE STRONG.) at Diddy’s mansion in Miami. Nice. Besides that, getting back together with the person that beat the shit out of you just 3 weeks earlier is not cool nor in anyway admirable. BAD ROLE MODEL. (Good Girl Gone Bad Anyone?)

TWO.
MIDTERMS = stress = no appetite = hardly/barely eating = weight loss = skinny = good? HAHA. Yes some would say.
But seriously, it’s funny how I complain about the “stresses” of midterms when all I have left is one. And it’s on Saturday, which gives me another 3-4 days to study for it. Some people have midterms either on consecutive days or double the midterm in one day. Fun. I can’t wait till this is all over, and we can all binge drink our problems away – well at least for the time being. Summer, how I miss you so :(

THREE.
The Hills Season 5!!! I know, I know, it’s probably scripted to the every detail, but I still love it. And if it is scripted, then hallelujah to the script writers because the populations of loyal Hills followers (myself included) totally eat this shit up. The drama, the eye-liner tears, LC’s moustache up close, Speidi at their finest, and Audrina & JustinBobs! What a show. Here's the link to the trailer for season 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPXC9oV224k



Must Listen:
1) The Gateway - Velveteen (sounds SO MUCH like death cab, but it’s not. So scandalous.)

2) Spaceman - The Killers
