Bush stays ducking haters

So I'm chilling in my room, listening to Gnarles Barkley, when my aunt bursts in on her cell phone, laughing, and telling me to turn to CNN. "Good news...er...bad news," she said as I turned on the TV. That's when I see President Bush ducking shoes. SHOES! I don't think I've ever witnessed anything more bizarre happen to the president since he fell off his Segway. I'm more surprised it took about 8 years for somebody to actually throw anything at Bush, let alone a shoe.


"This is a farewell kiss, dog!"
Iraqis don't play that.

The funniest thing to me about the whole thing is Bush's face. No matter what, he always seems to have this look on his face that is part bewildered/part amused. I bet if someone threw shoes at Obama he'd be like, "Now-now-now hold on there, uhh, sir. Let's, uhhh, be cool here."

I'll Put A Spell On You

I have been a fan of Aqualung for a while and how could you not be a fan? His music is simply beautiful. Theres no hidden message, no bullshit, just beauty in it's rawest form. As much as I enjoy Nine Inch Nails for angry, choke me harder sex, Aqualung is true baby making music. Matt Hales is also easy on the eyes which is always a plus and looks a lot like my optometrist. I should double check to make sure Aqualung isn't my eye doctor because I don't think he's certified. I leave you with Strange and Beautiful. I love the use of lighting in this video.

A+B Conversation: Tragic Mulattos

Alex O. and Monica B. discuss Mariah Carey's role as the sad multiracial orphan girl trying to make it big in the Oscar-nominated feature, Glitter.

A: Why does Mariah love playing the tragic mulatto? She loves that shit.
B: So that other tragic mulattos know they're not alone.
A: Like Hilary Banks?
B: Especially her.
A: I should have gotten Glitter for you as a Christmas gift so we could have discussed the epic moments in that movie. It was gold.
B: Like Showgirls and Honey...but for tragic mulattos.
A: I'm sensing a new themed movie night.
B: "Girls who just wanna dance!"
A: I can't think of anymore.
B: "Girls who wanna make it big but just can't brush off those haters."

The Lonely Island

The comedy trio from Los Angeles who now works at SNL have made a new digital short for their song "Jizz in My Pants". The video is hilarious and I was afraid that they were never going to make anything close to their other hilarious skits such as Dear Sister, Lazy Sunday and Dick in a Box. They have also made awesome skits called The 'Bu and their very short lived show Awesometown which you can check out in our link area. Akiva also directs videos for We Are Scientists as well as Hot Rod so check out his sick skills. Jizz in My Pants is from their debut album Incredibad coming out Feburary 10. Monica and I have even given each other TLI shirts for special occasions. The gift that keeps on giving. I'm going to be wearing my Akiva shirt today while singing "Jizz in My Pants".

A few fun facts about this TLI/video:
- Akiva who directs all the digital shorts makes an appearance as the DJ. Hot arm warmers, Kiv.
- Jorma has made other appearances in Gnarls Barkley's "Who's Gonna Save My Soul", Hot Rod, and Role Models
- The cinema in the video is a few blocks away from my dorm. I saw Wristcutters there.
- Justin Timberlake, Molly Sims and Jamie Lynn Sigler are in the video as well.

Guys, step up your game.

I don't know whether I'm laughing because it's accurate or because it's so ridiculous. Personally, I'm a Smirnoff type of gal. This shit is straight out of The Boondocks. This guy is Riley on his game.

Are you dazzled?

As much as I hate to admit it, I am. I've been hearing about Twilight since Samantha was waiting in line to get Breaking Dawn. I bought the first book not expecting much and I was hooked. I watched the movie with no expectations and in fact laughed at the preteens and moms in their Twilight gear they bought from Hot Topic. If you go into the movie with an open mind, you'll love it. I saw it more as a comedy because you honestly can't take the movie seriously.



Robert Pattinson was the highlight of this movie. As embarrassing as this is I have fallen for RPatzz. He is a talented actor which isn't really displayed that well in Twilight. He's a decent musician: check out his song Let Me Sign off the Twilight album along with Paramore, Muse, and Radiohead so you know it's awesome. Based off his interviews, he doesn't seem to be taking any of this Twilight craze seriously and his laugh is infectious. He's my type of guy. Check out this interview from Access Hollywood where they talk about his numerous marriage proposals. I am completely dozzled.




That's the end of my shameless twilight plug.

ETA: I'm Monica and I do not approve of this message.

Where in the world is Ann Coulter?

I must have been so overwhelmed by "hope" and "change" that I forgot all about everyone's favorite faaaaar right-winger, Ann Coulter. In such a long, dragged out, mudslinging election, you'd think Ms. Coulter would come out and play. Maybe call Obama a Muslim or McCain a secret liberal, throw out a few racial slurs, or at least come out and praise the new anti-gay props that passed in California and Florida. But no, nothing. She's completely M.I.A. She's done the one thing no one thought she could do: shut the fuck up. I mean sure, she's recently had her jaw broken and mouth wired shut according to Page Six(liberal back alley attack, perhaps?), but that was post-election. Where has she been throughout '08? Maybe a roving gang of socialists have her locked up in a basement somewhere, torturing her with clips from Barack Obama rallies and Will.I.Am videos.

Or maybe she's just building a momentum before she drops her new book, Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault On America, Obama bashing included. There's the Ann we all know and love to hate.

Truth be told, I sorta miss her and her antics. She made politics fun in a sick kinda way. I guess until the book drops and she makes her PR rounds, we'll have to stick with good ole Palin for awhile.
