A Very Color Me Badd Christmas

Just when JT (that's Justin Timberlake for y'all that aren't down) gets a lil extra to me he goes and makes me love him all over again. Oh, and now Andy Samberg can deal with frat boys singing this to him instead of faux rapping "Lazy Sunday." That's got to be fun.

This is why you have kids...and get them talent agents

This little girl is bringing it. And yes, she might be the coolest 8 year old around. Bask in her glory... and the glory of the "grown-ups" that put this together. Long live the Bastard Fairies! You'll see what I mean...

I Effed Up...Real Bad

Errhh...I feel reallly bad that I didn't give a shout out to my dear AND talented friend Artie (aka Cinnamon Jenkinz) on his stellar performance at the Bowery Poetry Club.

See, last month old boy got called up on stage to do this 30 second monologue jammy that slayed the crowded and that got him asked back to perform in the 3 minute competition. I was there. He killed it. Artie is no joke and is a STAR. He just needs his own developmental deal in place at HBO for the rest of you to know about the skillz.

So here is my apology for not singing his praises earlier...

Honeychile...that.was.how.you.got.status!

Why I Love Ted Leo

So besides thinking he is one of the finest singer/songwriting wordsmiths* dude feels the same way I feel about a few very important things. Check out these two August posts from his website:

YEAH, WELL... WE KNEW THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN...

Zayra, the only contestant who understood how to sing a song without overdoing it, the only contestant with a visual style worth checking out, the only contestant with an intersting voice, the only contestant with an even remotely interesting taste in music, and thus, the only contestant who's not "commercially viable," was kicked off "Rockstar: SuperNova," today.
Also, "Project Runway" sucks compared to last season.

PROJECT RUNWAY LIVE UPDATE!!

So, I used to have a "punch list" - it was pretty tongue-in-cheek, but was serious in some small percentage. The list was not snarky toward people I felt had slighted me, or bitchy in any way. It was about making a point to those who I felt had wronged society in such a way, and evidenced their own bull-headed-ness to be such that "talking about it" would have been a pointless expenditure of energy. Better to just think the thought, then punctuate it physically. Of course, people like Don Rumsfeld were on it, but in the aftermath of "(I did it all for the) Nookie," so was Fred Durst.
As of 10:25 PM EDT tonight, I have officially reinstated the list, and it features one person and one person only: Jeffery Sebelia.
Paranoid self-important prick: your own neurotic entitlement (oooh - you've had it hard, poor baby - you've earned the right to be nasty to the world) is what's making this project suck for you, and you made that nice woman, Angela's MOTHER cry for answering Tim's questions honestly.
Don't fuck with the momz, dude - you're goin' down...

I love that in general he rocks a very political punk-rock stance AND is also an astute proveyor of pop culture. Swoon.

Oh yeah, new album coming out in March. Awes...

*I've been listening to Hearts of Oak today to make myself feel better. Oh yeah, it's working. I truly, truly heart dude.

Back From the Dead

Um, really, there is no reason for me to be slacking as of late with me blog here but I have and I have no excuse. Okay, we've moved on. Just wanted to give a rundown some of my lurvs for the past few weeks:

*I love my friend Miss Tanya because we FINALLY hung out and I FINALLY went to OTTO to get some grub with her. Bargain Mario Batali is hot. Even hotter. The fact that Miss T has a idiot savant knowledge of cheeses and the fruit compotes that bring out the most flavor. Fuck knowing about what is going in Iraq--this is the real knowledge
*My mister for taking care of me this weekend. See I'm sick and when I'm sick I'm the biggest baby in the world. Even I want to throw me down a well like Baby Jessica. Mr. Read on the other hand is way more patient and loving. Man, he's a good guy. Sigh.
*The Little Ones EP Sing Song: Want to hear what sunshine sounds like? Check this out. Makes me happy and forget that it's winter and I'm going to be cold and angry very soon...
* I love that I'm going to Costa Rica for Xmas with my mama in about 2 weeks. What scares me is that we are almost at the end of the year and if I didn't have my head screwed on tight I would forget that I'm heading there or that I have to do that holiday shopping thing. Old age, it really is a silly, silly trick,
*Could 30 Rock be any funnier? Nah. Alec Baldwin is on FIRE. Fire I say...
*Call me crass but I love the Wendy Williams Experience on VH1. She is a radio legend on WBLS and I can' t get enough of her living and twirling. That woman does NOT care who she offends or how she does it but she is fun-nay.

Okay, I have to go back to being miserable and get back to my couch...oh lord, don't let me go towards the light.
