I’m a little late on this. Weezer’s latest single has been out for a bit now and I’m sure everyone has had their said regarding the material. I just heard it yesterday while driving. Something about Timbaland being on top of the charts and getting together to perfect the art…
It’s time to purchase a rhyming dictionary.
I’ve been celebrity gossip-free for two weeks!
I saw a cosmetic commercial this weekend featuring Halle Berry. As I was admiring her beauty, I found myself wondering if she had her baby yet because it seemed as if she was pregnant for years. And I had no way of knowing if she had her baby because I wasn’t visiting the celebrity gossip sites or even watching the gossip shows on TV. And me not knowing this made me feel quite proud of myself. Not long ago, if someone were to ask a general celebrity related question, I would have been the first to respond with the most up to date answer. Now I’m totally clueless about these things and it makes me feel great.
Oh, but as I was telling Yvonne this yesterday, she told me that Halle Berry did have her baby.
I love watching T.V. and I have no problem admitting it.
I even like some reality shows, mainly the ones that focus on learning (Flip that House, Dirty Jobs, most Food Network stuff), adventures (Amazing Race), interesting families (Jon and Kate Plus 8) and talent showcases (So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Best Dance Crew).
I think some shows need to be put to rest. Like American Idol. Yvonne and I were crazy about the first season. To us, it was the most fun and original show at the time. But now it’s just pathetic. AI should have called it quits after the third season. Now it’s just a joke. Everyone who auditions and gets chosen for the show is basically going on stage to tell America that they are a sad clown.
I need to get a tablet.
Two things I experienced/overheard at Target this weekend:
1) A 17-year-old girl exclaimed, loudly, right behind me, “OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THAT!!!!” and then pushed her way past me to a wall of “pop-culture” t-shirts. She jabbed at it with her pudgy hand and turned her head to look and scream at her friend, “IT SAYS VALLEY GIRL!!! I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!” Wow, wooooooooooooooooow.
2) I overheard a child say to her parent, “I may have given up on Hannah Montana, but I still like her style.”
