I am an Imogen Heap fan, and like many fans, my favorite song is Hide and Seek. The bridge in the song about 2:50 into the song is just perfect for any dramatic scene. The OC initially did this, but I don’t give a fuck about that show. The SNL spoof – called “Dear Sister” – of that scene in the OC was hilarious. But it doesn’t stop there. I have fallen in love with other Youtube spoofs of this scene.
First here’s the SNL spoof, followed by some of my favorite youtube spoofs.
The best part of how people look over their shoulders. ha.
Sorry Snarc and I haven’t been here much lately. We both finally moved in at Northwestern, and I have personally been drunk four times in the last three days.
But another topic of discussion has been my friends buying televisions. Last night Ben and I were looking online for TVs and started looking on ebay at some point. While searching for television we stumbled across some guy trying to sell the domain name www.cablenetworktv.com or .net or .tv for over $2million. ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?! $2,000,000?!?!?
How many people do you think are shopping around ebay and decide that they are willing to spend $2m? This guy also says he’ll accept a ‘best offer’ but it has to be at least seven digits. I think I’m going to bid like $10 maybe.
I encourage you all to do something like that too; here’s the link:
When two things that I like are mixed together, it becomes instant love. Well, maybe love isn’t the word for it – more like something that I like that will keep me occupied for a while.
Seeing that I really like musicals, and I love good prank videos on youtube almost as much, I have had a love affair with some of these videos on youtube.
The first video is from a group called “ImprovEverywhere.” This is the group that did the frozen grand central prank, which is pretty ballin’ in itself. This scene takes place in a mall food court:
This video is from a group called “Prangstgrup” who stage their musical in a Columbia University lecture hall – looks like a intro chemistry class.
But you shouldn’t just stop there. I’m a big fan of almost all the videos that ImprovEverywhere makes, while the Prangstgrup video about computer startup sounds is awesome.
One of the nice things about wordpress is all of the statistics they give you about your blog. It’s iteresting knowing how many visits there are to your page or a specific post, who links to your profile, and what searches ended up with people going to your blog.
Some of this stuff is just weird. If you remember earlier, snarc alerted the world that someone searched for “die top Ghanaian small intestine eagle” and was aptly directed to our page.
More recently, however, someone was searching for “kids in speedos” and was probably brought to 5 things I hate about the beach. But seriously, who searches for kids in speedos? I feel like there aren’t many young kids on wordpress.
I’ve never disliked Matt Damon, but at the same time, I’ve always just pushed him to the back of my celebrity focus. I never saw the Bourne movies, so I thus don’t really care too much about him. But man, did this guy rise up on my list today. He was able to articulate basically every feeling I have about Sarah Palin without attacking, nitpicking, or giving snarky insults. Maybe I’ll go rent your movies now, Matty.
And yet it baffles me how people can continue to throw aside these concerns and actually believe that she’s the right choice to be President if McCain dies.
This has been one of my favorite stories that past few days; the debate as to what happened to Kim Jong Il between North Korea and basically the rest of the world. Then again there are reports that Kim is actually dead and has been so since 2003. Lets go through the possibilities.
1. Kim Jong Il is in a hospital – according to US officials
Personally, I think this is the most likely, seeing that he hasn’t been seen for a month or something like that. Also, my blind faith in the United States – ok more like lack of belief in anything North Korean officials say – tells me he’s about to die in a Korean hospital with a cerebral hemorrhage, or stroke. I’d say that this has a 90% chance of being correct.
2. Kim Jong Il is hanging out somewhere – according to North Korea
What? Ok, so Kim Jong Il is just hiding from all public eye? This makes no sense. Imagine if George Bush just kinda hung out at Camp David for a month or two – probably to the pleasure of some – and just took a break from being president? Everywhere I read about this, North Korean officials never say anything about Kim, but rather just say that all South Korea and the US are doing are making conspiracy plots. Because I just don’t believe the North Korean government, I’ll give this a 5% of being real.
3. Kim Jong Il has been dead for 5 years? – Japanese expert on N. Korea
One Japanese expert claims that Kim had groomed 4 lookalikes to act as substitutes for himself to appear at public events fearing assassination. This guy also claims Kim died of diabetes in 2003, and the world has been dealing with an fake Kim Jong Il ever since. Granted, this whole scenario is possible, seeing as North Korea has so few facts known about it, but even the author of this theory said, “Scholars don’t trust my reasoning…” and goes on to explain why. Scholars are pretty knowledgable people usually, just saying. Still, I’d give this a 4% chance of being real.
4. Other – ideas created by me
Kim may be hiding with Dick Cheney in one of his bunkers, playing old maid or something like that. He may also be posing as one of the singers in the Asian We Are The World song. Chance of this: 1%.
So there it is, an in-depth analysis of what has been going on with Kim Jong Il the last month. Keep in mind my opinion is based entirely off a few articles I read and completely not credited!
So I bought this thing called “Jimi” at Brookstone a few months ago, and I was really excited because I finally had an alarm clock that might actually wake me up. Turns out the piece of crap does nothing more than beep quietly once every, like, three seconds. And what’s worse is that the snooze function is achieved by TAPPING THE CLOCK ONCE. The slightest touch does it. It’s probably the worst invention I’ve ever seen, because tapping the clock is so insanely easy. Even when I put the clock across the room, I ended up throwing a sock and hitting it, and buying myself another ten minutes. That’s also the worst… the snooze goes for 10 minutes. That’s far longer than I should give myself.
And hooray that Brookstone doesn’t even feature it in their store anymore. This is another piece of crap to add to my long list of things I bought that ended up screwing me over. (First on the list? The iHome alarm clock that, in all honesty, really does work, but because I once accidentally shut the alarm instead of snoozed, I missed class, and so I blame it on the clock, not me.)
#5. Violet Affleck Parents: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck
Look at little Violet Affleck swinging from the jungle gym. And LOOK at the hat that this little diva is rocking. Violet wears what she wants, when she wants, and wherever she wants (like when she wore this.). She’s gonna be some world-famous fashion designer one day, with a line of animal coats for all the babies of the world. Little fashionista is gonna be fierce.
#4. Kingston Rossdale Parents: Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale
Kingston already has the name of a rock superstar, but if you’ve seen pictures of the kid, he’s also got the connections. And the demeanor. He walks around NYC with this scowl on his face that tells the world he’s gonna make it big in music, whether or not he has talent, because he had long hair as a baby. And any baby with long rocker hair is without a doubt going to make it in this world. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that his parents are musicians, too.
#3. Suri Cruise Parents: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
I’m thinking little Suri here is going to grow up to rule the world of modeling. The fact that’s she’s one of the most glamorous and stylish celeb babies just solidifies this. She’s on her way up in the world, as long as she doesn’t pull a Miley along the way. Or, as long as Tom Cruise doesn’t eat her or offer her as a human sacrifice. I don’t know, I’m just sayin…
#2. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Parents: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
WOW. Shiloh Nouveau Jolie-Pitt is by far the most self-aware diva baby that I’ve ever seen. Look at her lips. The little bitch KNOWS what pouting is, and she does it every time there’s a camera around. She’s got to be aware that she’s the queen bee of the nursery, because how else would she strut around with the demeanor that she’s got? Easily the best looking baby in Hollywood right now… and without a doubt, she will one day RULE this world. She might even be bigger than Dakota Fanning was in her pre-awkward-blossom years.
#1. Cruz Beckham Parents: Victoria Beckham and David Beckham
The only reason I put little Cruz Beckham ahead of Shiloh is because he took that picture. He literally flipped off the cameras. If that doesn’t say fierce, I don’t know what does. And with a mother who’s got arguably one of the biggest attitudes (aesthetically, at least), why shouldn’t he start stretching those anti-paparazzi chops?
After my young, impressionable, teenage heart was won over by then all-around gold medalist Carly Patterson in 2004, I didn’t think another gymnast would inspire much love from me. Naturally, a year later my love for Carly had dissipated and I was ready to move on. Fast forward to 2008, and there were two young ladies who happened to do quite well, and made me debate which one would I rather go out with/spend the rest of my life with. All of this of course will probably happen later, for I’m sure they’re both chomping at the bit to win my heart.
There are many factors, that go into this decison, from looks to intangibles. All of these will be broken down here.
The general attractiveness vote has to go to Nastia for me. Comparing her to Shawn, it’s a pretty easy choice. Nastia is taller (5’2″ compared to 4’9″), has a better face/hair combination, and her body is phyically more attractice than Shawn’s. Important note: I put more weight on their looks on the talk shows rather than in gymnastics, although kept both in mind.
Personality-wise, I would also have to vote for Nastia. Granted, all I have to base this off are interviews I’ve seen them give to talk show hosts and random interviews I saw of them while they were in Beijing. Also, Nastia is 18 and probably more mature than 16-year-old Shawn. But you can make the decision yourself with these next two videos (Nastia first and Shawn second). I feel like all Shawn does is giggle and say umm…
Medal Count. Nastia = 5 (1 gold, 3 silver, 1 bronze). Shawn = 4 (1 gold, 3 silver). Noteworthy: Nastia won the all-around gold compared to Shawn’s silver, and Nastia was screwed out of another gold in the uneven bars and was left with silver.
Flexibility: they’re both gymnasts - way more flexible than I will ever be – which is a plus for both.
Everything else that is worth mention I’ll throw into a category called intangibles, which, like the other categories, is won by Nastia in my book. Shawn Johnson looks like she is stronger than me, which is not that attractive, while Nastia has a more slim look (even though she probably is stronger than me). Nastia is almost my age (she turns 19 on October 30) and therefore considered legal, whereas Shawn is 16, and not legal (not even fitting into the aptly named “two-year rule of thumb”). Nastia has a much cooler name than Shawn as well.
Winner: Nastia Liukin by a landslide. Ok, now we can go live our lives happily ever after. I’m sure after reading this post Nastia will probably give me a call and we’ll go out or something. No big deal.
Sometimes, it just helps to complain. It can be about something miniscule and insignificant, or something world-changing and gigantic. Either way, we blog because we talk to anyone who will listen. We blog because we vent or rant or want to get things out of our mind or off our chest. We blog because we're fucking awesome. We blog because blog makes everything better.
