Oh Hey Nate, Need A Running Coach?

Hee! Matching track suit!
I am totally qualified, you know. Also, this photo proves my theory that nobody can look attractive while running. Nobody. So screw you pervy men who whistle at me when I run by -- clearly you are cognitively impaired and unable to comprehend the Golden Ratio (1.168) and that means you like ugly people. Like your mom.
Hee! Matching track suit!
Verbatim.

The quote that sparked a 2-hour discussion on evolution and somehow not as much wild feminist flailing as you might imagine (though there was some):
Kim's Girl Roommate (in response to Kim's Boy Roommate's declaration that he believes all humans are genetically "wired" with the desire to reproduce and have been since the dawn of man, and that a quenching of this desire comes from simple suppression or an abnormality in a person's genetic makeup): "So you're saying that you think anyone who doesn't want kids is either crazy or lying to him/herself?"
Kim's Boy Roommate: "No."
Kim: "Um, you pretty much did, though."
KBR: "Okay, fine, yes."
K&KGR: "YES?!"
Apparently this can be justified by the theory of Natural Selection, and despite the whole word 'theory' thing being in there, it is indisputable. I even went so far as to suggest that, if we are basing our argument on evolution, than it should actually be quite natural for humans to begin to cease to want to reproduce, seeing as it tends to harm more than help and in our advanced age offspring are no longer vital to our survival - and he still refused to concede.
Tick, tock, biological clock? Obviously I disagree. Not because I don't have the desire to reproduce (I'm on the fence, here at age 26, though it's an especially interesting fence in that it's the "I haven't decided if I want kids" fence; meanwhile, I have definitely decided it's not big enough for a baby to come out of, so, really, what am I still deciding here?). But I've just always been a mind over matter person. It does make you think, though, about how freaking crazy the human body is, and I have to wonder ... how much do we think we know that we actually have no control over? Are we just of the assumption we're calling all the shots? If we trade fate/destiny/any and all higher powers for science and evolution, are we still just as predetermined and laughably powerless in the world despite our arrogance as the human race?
Discuss amongst yourselves.
P.S. I am not drunk.
P.P.S. Or high.
P.P.P.S. I will return to my regularly scheduled flailing over Gossip Girl next post.
P.P.P.P.S. Someone explain P.S. to me again?

Tribeca Film Festival Reviews. Also, My Butt Hurts From Sitting All Day
Posted by: Jen
So my dashing boyfriend got free all access passes to the Tribeca Film Festival yesterday and of course this meant we HAD to see as many movies as humanly possible to get our "money's worth" (aka: see more movies than the passes were originally worth, even though we got them for free) . It started out with grand plans of seeing a movie at 10am. On a Sunday morning. Right. That didn't exactly work out, but I made fabulous omelettes and proved that although I make a lot of spaghetti, that is not ALL I can cook.
Anyway, we ended up seeing three movies, all of which were at least watching once. And now, my completely professional reviews of each:
Ball Don't Lie: A story about a boy nicknamed Sticky, who has definitely been dealt the shit hand at life. Let's review: life with a prostitute mother (with a heart of gold) who he later finds murdered in a bathtub, followed by a life shuttled in and out of different foster care homes (in one Rosanna Arquette is his mother and she gets cancer and WOW did I cry), a pregnant girlfriend and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to boot. However, Sticky is really good at basketball and triumphs over all!!! Go see it, even though I basically just told you the whole story. Nothing is better than a chick flick disguised as a sports movie; re: The Mighty Ducks.
Also, Ludacris has a small role as social worker and ANYTHING with Luda is worth watching. Did your brain just explode at the idea of Rosanna and Luda working on the same project? Oh, it gets better: hey Nick Cannon as a gangster child beating asshole! Yeah. It gets 4 out of 5 Popcorn Kernels (this is my newly devised, highly scientific rating system that I made up 2 seconds ago).
An Omar Broadway Film: Omar Broadway is a Bloods member who manages to sneak a camcorder into the maximum security prison in Newark in order to document the "guard brutality" that takes place there. Instead he manages to make himself, and all involved look like whiny assholes (especially his mother, who seemed to be totally out of touch with reality and totally forget that her son is a violent criminal).
I feel like I might have to turn in my Liberal Card based off of my reaction to this film, seriously, and it is blowing my mind. Basically, Omar and his cell-mate Buddy are bad bad people who play the victim card so hard once they are in jail -- even though I am fairly certain they would totally take my wallet if given the chance. They complain about their human rights being violated and to an extent they are; I would NEVER condone beating someone who is unarmed like the guards in the film did, but at the same time the little annoying voice in the back of my head (the one that also says Ron Paul is not that offensive) is kind of like "Uh you're in jail for multiple violent crimes! Suck it up cry baby!"
I guess the thing that got me was that even though the guards used excessive force it was always provoked by some kind of outburst (be it violent or not) by the inmate. Yeah, ok, don't listen to the guys in charge and then expect a medal. Right.
So yeah, I think Omar's point was to outrage people to the point where maximum security lock down would suddenly be changed into something similar to summer camp, but instead he just sounded stupid (especially when he tried to sell his story to various media outlets, most of which could give a damn). I mean if Fox 5 with Rosanna and Ernie don't care, then you're pretty much on your own. I give this film 2 Popcorn Kernels and a half a gummy worm for dramatic flair.
Idiots and Angels: A dark cartoon (great to look at) about a really bad man who suddenly grows angel wings. Basically everyone in the movie, except for the stereotypical hot blond (Boo! Give us a complex female character lead!), are awful awful people, all who want to benefit from the wings except for our hero, who only wants to chop them off.
It kind of turns into a freaky love story involving self amputation and the bombing of every bar in the city with some reincarnation sprinkled in for fun. I'm not sure what it meant, and I wish I had smoked before because then I would totally have all of the answers. I give it 3 Popcorn Kernels, but I bet someone smart who is in to this kind of thing would give it 5.

Lauren (what with Stephen reappearing this week and all, may we please return to calling you LC?)! You're back! THE SHOES! THE HAIR! YOU'RE GORGEOUS! I promise my plans for tomorrow include catching up on all the episodes if 'The Hills' I have missed this season (due largely to your BLAH style)!
You look fantastic! ILU! Now redesign your "fashion line" so that it includes more of stuff you would wear - such as this - and fewer ... jerseys. Thanks. Love, Kim.

A conversation between Chris and I, who are training for our first marathon. We're running 18 miles today!!! Don't worry, I am aware that we are totally batshit crazy:
Jennifer: is it really 80?
Chris: that's what my browser says
it doesn't feel like it out there though
Jennifer: weather.com says 75
feels like 75
Chris: would you like me to run shirtless?
hah
Jennifer: only if I can watch your man boobs jiggle
Chris: you never see guys doing that anymore
Jennifer: lol I don't care
Chris: actually xxx did it recently
it was kinda disturbing
Jennifer: xxx has man boobs?
Chris: you kidding!
he is known for them
Jennifer: I don't know, you don't have them
Chris: all throughout college at least
Jennifer: like the flappy kind or pectoral muscles?
there is a difference

Heidi Realizes Her Clothing Line Is Ugly, Wears Something Better To Promote It
Posted by: Jen
Oh hey Heidi, you look nice. I see you're not wearing any of your trashy-tastic clothing line while promoting it. Well played (not to mention that Spencer is nowhere in sight! + 100!).
Also, THE SHOES. I like them but could never pull them off, and if I can't with my much-less-Barbie-look-than-you, I don't think you're gonna do it either. I know they are Chloe and like high fashion but I'd rather see them on someone like Jennifer Connolly or Chloe Sevigny. Just sayin' Heidi; you need a little extra edge to pull those off. Now come back here and wear J. Crew with Kim and I and we can throw things at Spencer.

Per Just Jared:
Chace Crawford keeps his arm around his rumored new girlfriend Casey Laine in New York City this past weekend.
Oh, who cares. Look how hot he is!
Jen. Why do you never stalk?
Chace Crawford's new girlfriend???
Per Just Jared:
Chace Crawford keeps his arm around his rumored new girlfriend Casey Laine in New York City this past weekend.
Ms. Laine is from around the Dallas area where Chace grew up.
Is Casey speaking out about her relationship with Chace? Her MySpace reads, “Kiss me slow and softly. Make me dream of you.”
Let the bitchery begin! Okay, so she has nice teeth. I think. The camera flash clearly blurred them into a solid glow-in-the-dark mass. The bangs, eeek. But it could just be that ridiculous angle. (I take pictures like that all the freaking time when I'm hammered. I convince myself in the moment that they are 'artsy'.) She's brunette! Go brunettes! WTF on the MySpace (but then again, I'm kind of WTF toward MySpace in general.) And, finally, crazy eyes. BUT, her dress is quite adorable.Oh, who cares. Look how hot he is!

Blog neglect over. And Gossip Girl is BACK!!!
Posted by: Kim
Today Jen told me that she will be running 18 miles Friday. I followed this up by asking my roommate if she wanted to eat ice cream for dinner tonight, then amended that to walk to the ice cream, eat it for dinner, and walk home, after the insane guilt and horror at my own sloth kicked in.
I was in Texas over the weekend for a wedding. Texas is big and awesome, even if the people there do call Cape Codders 'Cape Cods' and stare blankly at you if you deign to order the drink by its correct name, and even if the Dizzy Rooster is approximately 1/100,000th as cool as The Real World Austin made it out to be. As for the awesome bar on the roof with the cute bartenders (and all the Cape Cods): I so endorse you. I also endorse weddings. YAY weddings. If anyone is having one any time soon, please invite me. I promise to cry, and then be That Girl on the dance floor after a drink or 39. Also, if you have anyone you would like me to marry, send him my way as well, because my wedding? Will be the party of the century. I'm just missing the groom.
In other news, Gossip Girl is back and in a big way. Big as Texas big. My favorite style moment? The SHARK/WHALE/GIANT FISH/I HAVE NO IDEA cardigan on Chuck Bass, whom I also think they are lighting better the bigger they write his heart, because he looked pretty adorable kind of consistently last night, as opposed to ScaryChuck of November or so.
I want one. Of each: Cardigan. Chuck. Bag of yey. Whatev.
I mean, not really, of course. Coke is vile. Ed Westwick is a child. The cardigan still wins though.
Chichi get the llello! And I mean, not a child in the illegal sense.

So Barack Obama was giving a speech yesterday and when talking about personal attacks in politics he channeled The Greatest, Jay-Z and did a little dirt-off-your-shoulder action. I enjoyed that, but I liked him already anyway. You can see the clip here.
Next time Barry, I suggest doing it with a little more attitude. You can come to my neighborhood and we can get burritos and people watch and you can learn how it's really done. Doooo it!
I say, let the "elitists" run America! Couldn't hurt might help. I mean, look what voting (TWICE, thanks guys, really) for some "aw shucks" kind of dude got us into. Also boys and girls, just because a president talks like a hick and is stupid doesn't mean he's not actually WASP-y old New England money. Come on, let's teach evolution and drink lattes and kill babies together! I know you want to America.
Nobody who runs for president is "normal" -- dare I say that they are all incredible egomaniacs? I mean, who wakes up in the morning and is like, "You know what? I CAN make potentially life altering decisions for millions of people, I'm going to run for president!" Also, I am highly doubtful that anyone elected would make a noticeable difference anyway; the government can't get out of its own way unless they are blowing tax money on ridiculous things and people.
Hey France, wanna adopt me? Parlay vou ingles si vou play?

On Long Hair
Posted by: Jen
When I was little, like five, I had really long hair. So long, in fact, that I could sit on it if I wanted to. While this is kind of awesome in its self, it is next to impossible for a five year old to maintain. Ask me how many times I cried about my mother insisting that she brush and blowdry my hair before bed. Seriously, it suuucckkeed -- like, 45 minutes to dry all of that hair. So now you know why I pretty much refuse to spend more than 5 minutes at a time on my hair today.
ANYWAY, there is a point to this. I was looking at outfits from the Country Music Awards last night, you know, to mock someone whose music I would never listen to's rhinestones and I came across a picture of... Crystal Gail!
Wow, did that jog my memory...
So my Dad used to say that I looked like Crystal Gail with my long hair (in case you were wondering, my sister was Christie Brinkley because she was blonde. Also, I was so totally always the fat one), and I always thought CG was a model and only NOW do I find out that 1. She is a singer and 2. THAT is what she looks like. Seriously, I had no idea. She does not resemble me at all, but my dad was referring to 20 + years ago CG, so I dug around for a picture.
She does not look like me either but man do I wish I could rock makeup like that. I APPROVE 80's Crystal. Seriously, I am not even going to say anything about your pink velor blazer because you are exactly who I wanted to be when I was five.
On a sad note, I will never look like that. Sigh. Way to dream big, Dad.

She does not resemble me at all, but my dad was referring to 20 + years ago CG, so I dug around for a picture.
She does not look like me either but man do I wish I could rock makeup like that. I APPROVE 80's Crystal. Seriously, I am not even going to say anything about your pink velor blazer because you are exactly who I wanted to be when I was five.
On a sad note, I will never look like that. Sigh. Way to dream big, Dad.

Spotted: Blind Item -- Looks Like S' Publicist Is Out To Get B...
Posted by: Jen
Blake! You look so happy! And I love your outfit! And I suspect that you are way more fun than you let on! Lets be friends!
To celebrate the t-6 day countdown to the new Gossip Girl, I present a very not so blind item from The Daily News:
"Which New York-based publicist plants negative items about one of her client's television co-star's (including allegations of illicit sex and pot-smoking, oh, and getting a co-star booted from the show) in an effort to make her gal (who ain't no angel) look a lot better?"
Ok, ok, so we all know the co-star is Leighton Meester, but the real question here is WHAT could Blake Lively possibly be doing that is so badass? And I mean, all of the rumors about B (yes I will use their real names/show names interchangeably) just make me like her more, and if S is worse, then she sounds awesome too!

Heidi! Little Girls Are Emulating Here!

Oh Heidi. We need to talk, and it's not about Spencer and how you allow yourself to continue to be associated with him, and how you didn't throw those flowers in his face and how you don't remind him daily about how much he looks like Jim Carey in The Mask except more orange. I'm not over that, but we have more pressing matters at hand.
Your new clothing line. I see you have designed one. And I see you are wearing it. And I see that you have gone the opposite route of Lauren's shapeless jersey dresses (ok, you get one point for that). Oh Heidi, why?
I assume you dress yourself for your show, and you always look great! Why would you endorse such a Barbie Goes Porn Star look, especially when you know 11 year olds are going to want it? 11 year olds should not be wearing booty shorts! Actually, most people should not be wearing booty shorts, except for Kate Moss who I love and can do no wrong ever, even when she's practically blowing coke off of her daughter's head.
Anyway, Heidi, please do not contribute to the gross stereotype that girls should be sexy by selling clothes that only frat boys would appreciate. Maybe write a book for kids like Jenna Bush did; we all know the world needed to see that to prove that she wasn't actually the spawn of Satan. Maybe it could be about a girl who kicks her stupid boyfriend to the curb while wearing a fabulous outfit?

Kim: 'Johnny Damon is looking great! Like way less performance-enhancing drug-ly huge than he has seemed to be in recent years!'
Kim's Roommate: 'Aren't you supposed to hate him?'
Kim: 'I feel like hating him is so two years ago. Now, I mean, dude's hot and can still run fast. But not as hot or fast as Ellsbury. So, you know. It's like moving on to far, far better things and being able to man up and recall with vague amusement and some affection a relationship that met a bitter, fiery end when the guy cheated on you with 40 of the devil's bitches. Which sucked, but really, he was so big and dumb and hot that you pretty much just have to let it go and laugh and check out his ass while he's stealing bases.'
Kim's Roommate: ' ... Right. He does look nice without the ten tons of hair.'
Kim: 'Yeah.'
Go Red Sox!

The Most Amazing Thing That Happened To Me This Week
Posted by: Kim
I went to the bank on my lunch break to raise my checking account balance above the $4 mark, and after doing so decided I was rich enough to afford a XXX Vitamin Water and headed into CVS.
After picking up my beverage, I wandered over to the shampoo and conditioner aisle, as I'd been running dangerously low on the latter of late and my hair had been starting to rebel and break off at the ends.
Walking from the drink aisle to the conditioner aisle, I had an odd sense that I was being followed. Said sense was confirmed as fact when I turned curiously in the conditioner aisle to find a tiny (as in she came up to my boobs and I am 5'3") Asian woman standing thisclose to me.
I blinked. 'Hi?'
Tiny Asian Woman: 'Hello. Do you work here?'
K (glances around awkwardly, then looks self-dressed-in-business-casual-attire-sans-CVS-apron-and-holding-purse-XXX-and-Herbal Essences Long-Term Relationship up and down): 'Um, no.'
TAW (whipping out pamphlet): 'Have you accepted Jesus into your life?'
K (oh hell no): 'Um, you know. No. Yes. No. I'm sorry. I have to get back to work.'
I began to flee CVS, making a left at the candy aisle, door in sight, unwelcome memories of my Catholic upbriging and the Act Of Contrition and my 7-year-old self in a white satin dress at First Communion flashing across my brain, as TAW, henceforth Jesus' Teeny Disciple nipped at my heels, chirping about salvation and purgatory and then:
'WAIT! Would you like an m&m?'
Obviously I stopped. Dead. In. My. Tracks. Because, 1) Obviously, yes, I would like an m&m; but more importantly, 2) The hell? I turned around slowly, (I'm sure) one eyebrow cocked inquisitively, and Jesus' Teeny Disciple proceeded to grab a family-sized bag of m&m's (the dark chocolate kind in the purple bag, my favorite - yes, god, I noticed, if that was in fact your intention) and tear it open with such ferocity that the contents flew about the store in a flurry of heaven-sent magical chocolate hail.
I clearly began laughing so hard I could not stand upright or breathe properly, and eventually began crying as a result. Obviously a manager appeared from nowhere, and was laughing at my laugh-crying before he even spoke.
'Ahem. Is there a ... problem here?'
Jesus' Teeny Disciple shook her head, eyes wide. 'No, sir. I was just trying to talk to your employee here about accepting Jesus into her life before it's too late!'
K: 'I DO NOT work here!'
I then plunked my XXX Vitamin Water and conditioner amongst the candy aisle chaos and hit the pavement outside with laugh-tears streaming down my cheeks, unable to speak as the cop patrolling the BofA door next door came over to see what all the fuss was about. Of course he did.
I got in my car just as the manager was escorting Jesus' Teeny Disciple from his store, apparently without pressing any charges concerning the m&m violation.
It will take something spectacular to top that. m&m Jesus hail.

I Will Probably Take Myself On A Date To See Prom Night
Posted by: Jen
Britanny Snow has had my heart since "John Tucker Must Die" -- a highly enjoyable and very underrated movie.
Sooooo, I am not ashamed to admit that I am excited to see "Prom Night". Kim, I wish you were here so we could go see it together and love it.
Plotline excerpt from IMDB: "Donna's senior prom is supposed to be the best night of her life, one of magic, beauty, and love. Surrounded by her best friends, she should be safe from the horrors of her past. But when the night turns from magic to murder there is only one man who could be responsible, the man she thought was gone forever. Now, Donna and her friends must find a way to escape the sadistic rampage of an obsessed killer, and survive their Prom Night."
HOW does that not sound fabulous?
1. Her name is Donna. DONNA. Channeling Donna Martin, perhaps?
2. Friends! Pretty people to look at!
3. Prom night turns from MAGIC to Murder. OMG, who doesn't wish that their's had? It would have been so much more interesting than drinking 4 Zimas and passing out.
And I know a lot of people think I have crap taste in movies, but that is not the case. I appreciate each movie for what it is trying to do -- chick flicks are to look at clothes, period pieces are made for swooning over the knight type hero, horror is for shutting my eyes and hiding behind my popcorn, and anything with an animal is for crying. Obviously not everything is "No Country For Old Men" or "Titanic"... So what if I wanna see a silly slasher flick with pretty people? Sue me.
In other news, I saw "The Mist" (adapted from a Stephen King novella) this weekend and I, the girl who likes almost anything, thought it was total crap. Think poor acting, bad lines, and totally fake looking monsters for the first hour and a half, followed by THE MOST DEPRESSING ENDING EVER. Yeah, so there. I have taste. Stop being snobs, people.
What If My Conscience Tells Me To Cut A Bitch?
Posted by: Jen
Ok, so this whole “Conscience Clause” thing has been in the news for a while now and I feel like I have to say something about it. For those of you who don’t know, there are Health Provider “refusal clauses” that were enacted in response to the Supreme Court’s Roe Vs. Wade ruling in 1973. Basically, these clauses allow doctors and other healthcare providers to refuse to provide certain reproductive health services to women if they feel it violates THEIR morals or personal beliefs (to read more, click here, or to see what the crazies are thinking, click here). This includes refusing to perform an abortion, assist with one, and allowing hospitals to refuse to have them performed on their premises.
Fine, ok, whatever. Like, normally doctors who perform abortions aren’t like “They made me do it waaahhh!” Most want to be doing them because they care about helping women. But, the really distressing thing about this is that it allows pharmacists to refuse to fill certain prescriptions, such as Plan B and BIRTH CONTROL (neither of which are remotely close to abortion).
So basically, Mr. (or Mrs./Miss/Ms. – but let’s be serious, probably not a Ms.) Holier Than Thou has the right to decide that because HE THINKS someone shouldn’t be able to have a certain prescription, then they shouldn’t. Why is it any of their business? Why is it someone else’s right to decide something for me? I find it very demeaning that some asshole pharmacist thinks he can decide that he is the moral authority – that he knows what is better for me/your sister/cousin/mom/girlfriend than I/they do – and could potentially cause huge changes in someone’s life. I feel like if you don’t want to do a part of the job then you shouldn’t have it. The End.

Dear Internet: Again, with the lies about the stars of The Most Important Show of Our Time (thank you, New York magazine)!
Is it redundant to say the "Gossip Girl" set is just like high school?
(Source, The Daily News)
I'm pretty sure I had all kinds of witty retorts for this, but attributing all this crap took so much focus that I forgot it all.
So I'll just go with, OMG STOP TRYING TO MAKE BLAIR A BITCH! And happy birthday, Leighton Meester! Jesus, Internet.
Also, Meester-meister? The fuck?
Dear Internet: Again, with the lies about the stars of The Most Important Show of Our Time (thank you, New York magazine)!
A 'Gossip Girl' dropout - or did Leighton Meester push her out?
Is it redundant to say the "Gossip Girl" set is just like high school?
The hit CW show about privileged private scholars has resumed shooting in the city for season two. But one person who isn't back is actress Nan Zhang (she's the one on the left), who played sidekick Kati Farkas.
Series creator Josh Schwartz said two weeks ago that Zhang enrolled in Brown University during the writers' strike and "didn't tell anyone on the show." But sources tell me the real reason for her sudden departure was her failure to get along with breakout star Leighton Meester.
"She was pushed off the show," says a snitch. "Leighton didn't like her, and she went."
The appearance of a new Asian actress on the set last week suggested that Zhang may have been replaced. But another insider says the Kati character has been written out.
"Jenny [played by Taylor Momsen] has a new group of random bitchy girls as friends," said the source, explaining why Kati's close pal Isabel (played by Nicole Fiscella, on the right) remains in the picture.
Says the show's rep: "I think [Zhang] may have had another opportunity come up, but I know she was big into school. She was really sweet, but she went back to school."
Was there any tension with the Meester-meister?
"Absolutely not true," said Meester's personal rep.(Source, The Daily News)

Nate And Harriet The Spy?! Plus, I Freak Out A Little.
Posted by: Jen
Fresh off his breakup from Carrie via text message, Chace was seen canoodling with new Gossip Girl co-star Michelle Trachtenberg of "Harriet The Spy" fame, says Page Six.
"Gossip Girl heartthrob Chace Crawford is rebounding with the show's newest cast member, Michelle Trachtenberg. Our spies saw Crawford and Trachtenberg at SoHo hideout Upstairs "flirting heavily" early Saturday. Said the onlooker, "They were all over each other. She was drinking a beer and snuggling up to him."
All hearsay I say, until I see it with my own eyes!
I am really slow today and have nothing witty to add to this. Probably because I went to the Yankees game last night, got drunk, went to a bar across the street, drank more, thought it would be a good idea to continue on downtown to play Beirut and managed to get completely hammered. I just threw up in my work bathroom because I AM A CHAMPION.
This is totally not a high point in my life, actually. I will just tell myself that this is normal adult behavior and continue to stare blankly at my computer until 5pm because all movement makes me nauseous and then go home a lie down. People my age are married and have careers! People my age are old enough to have kids and others won't think they made a "mistake"! I have a neglected cat and a studio apartment and a hangover. Oh well. Oh well.

Rachel Bilson, What Has Your Mother Done To You?!

Dear Rachel, you are normally so cute and well dressed, I can only imagine that your mother somehow managed to slip something crazy in your cereal and convince you to relive the 80's with her. Maybe your mother also slipped something crazy into her OWN cereal beforehand, just to justify those horrible shoes. Please go back to wearing cute outfits that make me yell, "I WANT!". Kthanksbye.

Carrie, Chace break up via TEXT MESSAGE
Carrie Underwood doesn’t need to mend a broken heart–she apparently broke up with Gossip Girl hunk Chace Crawford via text message.
YES, TEXT MESSAGE!
“It was completely mutual,” the 25-year-old American Idol alum told Extra. “We’re both fine…We broke up over text so…It’s like ‘peace out.’”
Continued Carrie, “It just didn’t work…And we both knew it didn’t work and no hard feelings at all whatsoever… I haven’t talked to him in awhile but, I mean, I don’t dislike him… So it’s no big deal.”
Dating can be tough in the public eye admits Carrie: “It’s difficult while you’re dating because people always make a lot bigger deal of things than they actually are… And then when you break up with somebody and then like two months later it comes out and it’s like you’re rehashing old stuff… I don’t know why that’s all out now.”

This morning while I was (completely out of character, probably due to hunger or fatigue) telling Jen that I don't care about money and just want mac & cheese on a fire escape and True Love, I obviously started planning my wedding in my head for the 69,000,000,000th time (acceptable grooms for the day including any of the cast of Gossip Girl, particularly wastey-face Ed Westwick, because I am equally as cool as Jen and want to party hard with 21-year-old teen television show stars) and decided that my bridesmaids can wear whatever the hell dress they want.
As long as they incorporate one of these belts:
JCrew is so incredible it hurts my little heart. Belt also available in white (eh, I'm wearing white), classic navy (with more navy!), and soft fuscia (with black!!). Lemon twist pictured (on the fence. with ... navy?).
I'll return now to designing my invitations and mentally mixing my signature cocktail.

Heidi And John Are Totes In Lovvveeee!

So Heidi Montag endorsed John McCain the other day, and Spencer was all, "Shut up Heidi, no one cares what you think!" (I do! Heidi, you are so cute - though I will NEVER support the boob job - and I don't care that you are a Republican or that you totally jacked Elodie for her job at Bolthouse or that you unleashed "Body Language" upon the world! You could do way better than Spencer. May I suggest Hitler, or maybe a sea slug?).
Well Spencer, apparently, John McCain does care what Heidi thinks! Consider my mind blown... Or is a this a job done by the crafty Megan McCain to show that her dad is down with the kids these days? Well played Megan. Well played.
It will make no difference in the election. Obviously, everyone like Heidi is already voting for McCain and all of the people who are Heidi fans (admit it, everyone is) but not like Heidi are voting for someone else.
Next, to decide the outcome of the Democrat primaries, I would like to see Obama and Clinton face off in a game of Beirut.

In or around Boston? This is what you should be doing tomorrow!:
Erin Harpe CD Release Party: Delta Blues Duets
(Jamaica Plain, MA) Come join Juicy Juju Records' acoustic Delta blues artist Erin Harpe as she celebrates the release of her second cd, Delta Blues Duets, with a FREE show Thursday, April 3, at the Alchemist Lounge in Jamaica Plain! The frontwoman of local electronic-dance band Lovewhip, Erin shifts gears and demonstrates her formidable talent for 1920s and 30s style Delta blues. The party gets underway at 10 p.m. and will feature Erin performing with some very special guests!
Delta Blues Duets features Erin accompanied on vocals and guitar by her father, bluesman Neil Harpe. The duets showcase harmonized vocals and dueling finger picking acoustic guitar parts. The ten-song CD was recorded at Mix One Studio in Boston and mastered at Makeshift Mastering in Hyde Park.
Delta Blues Duets will be Erin's first album that is going to be released as three options: as a CD for $10, a High Quality Digi-Album for $5, or as free mp3's. The Digi-Album comes as a downloadable zip file, which will include 10 songs, artwork, and liner notes. For more information, sign up for Erin's mailing list or for her blog via RSS feed.
Growing up in the Washington DC area, Erin began playing the guitar in her teens, under the teaching her father. She soon began performing at folk festivals, coffee houses, bars, and parties in the DC area, developing a strong blues guitar and vocal style of her own. Erin relocated to Boston to develop her music career, where she met blues talents such as Paul Rishell and Susan Tedeschi.
Since moving to Boston, Erin has performed at many venues, including the original House of Blues, the Middle East, Harpers Ferry and many more. She has opened for Rounder Records national touring act the Tarbox Ramblers, among others. She was also the first solo act to participate in the Boston Blues Challenge, where she made it to the finals, winning her night and beating out six blues bands. She is played regularly on Boston-area blues radio shows, and counts among her fans veteran WBOS radio DJ Holly Harris.

I have no focus on Tuesdays. Tuesdays are stupid.

I was going to post about Andy Roddick being engaged (and not to me. or Jen.) because I forgot to do it yesterday, but now I am too distracted by other things, like how great I smell right now (I think my body and the body wash I've used for the past, you know, decade or so, just decided to begin a love affair, because I suddenly smell like AWESOME as opposed to just nice) and the fact that little Jen was in love with Ricky Schroder. I had no idea. The first movie/TV star crush I can remember having was on the boy who played Rocky in 3 Ninjas. The first one. And then the sequels came with a new actor, and I was sad.

My inner five year old who had a massive crush on Ricky Schroder in Silver Spoons just died/swooned of happiness. I was too young then and I am too old now... I WILL NEVER WIN!
