Andy Samberg Creates Funny Videos

Thanks to Mr. Skypeck aka Chris in Boston for Tweeting this video last night.  It is hilarious.  Trust me.  Just watch it:

VM (Yawn) A's 2008

Let's talk about the VMAs and how Russell Brand's constant reminder of the current state of our country has made me realize that the exact same thing can be sad about the boring piece of crap that was this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

Where to start, where to start? I know! How about with Britney Spears!

• The obvious: She looked way better than she has in a long time. Her ass, admittedly, was out of control in a good way. Some more of the obvious: WTF?! First, Mariah Carey, now Britney! It's so nice to see that MTV cannot be bought out by publicists and managers at all. And be so charitable! She won her first 3 VMAs ever for a song and video that she basically had no part in other than just showing up and not throwing a fit. Britney's had FAR better music videos than "Piece of Me" - ones that she's actually had a sober hand in making. "Toxic" anyone? Even "Oops I Did It Again" - Titanic necklace and all - deserved to win over that video. Britney's win just goes to show that even in the real world, people's self-esteems are pampered to, just as though they were given an honorable mention in the 5th grade science fair.

Russell Brand

• Just...not funny. He tried way too hard (that's what she said). The political jokes and the Jonas Brother jokes may have been funny if they hadn't been repeated so many times. He made me laugh twice: The first time was when he called Michael Phelps a "real life Aquaman" and the second time was so hilarious that I can't even remember it right now. But seriously, the Jonas Brothers/purity rings gag was just overdone. And ridiculously annoying because they weren't even good.

Pink

• Awesome as always. Thanks to Rachel VC, I do love me some Pink. That song is catchy.

Jordin Sparks

• Still couldn't tell you any of her music that isn't "Tattoo" (and I only know that song when it gets to the chorus), but I give her mad props for going off-script and telling Russell Brand to shut the f*ck up about the purity ring jokes. Because we were all thinking it anyway.

Katy Perry

• She looked adorable, but I really wanted her to sound good and she just didn't do anything for me. I was hoping to at least sing along with her cover of "Like a Virgin" but MTV only showed the first verse of it and then cut to commercial, before coming back in from commercial and showing us the last chorus of "I Kissed a Girl." I wonder if that was also to cover the fact that she didn't sound much better than a Simpson performance. Maybe I'm being too critical, but girl didn't prove herself to me.

Miley Cyrus

• Is she 16 years old or is she 30 years old? Also, who told that girl that she knew how to sing?

Kanye

• Thank goodness for Kanye's lack of short term memory because he, as ususal, kicked ass. Too bad he wasn't featured more so.

Lindsay Lohan

• Looked and sounded sober. Good for her.

Back to what I said in the beginning, comparing the change we need in this country vs. the VMAs, it's pretty straight forward: Re-vamp your channel to play music again or at least a healthy balance of music and television shows and don't make every awards show seem like its geared only for 14-year-olds. That's how you get people to watch them. That's all I've got for now. My brain hurts. Though MTV did get huge ratings for this year's show, probably because everyone tuned in to see Britney Spears.

Her Lovely Lady Lumps

This is why I love Alanis Morissette:

March 14 is Pi Day.

...and my Spelling Family Care-O-Meter is STILL at zero!

Soooo it's March 14 -> 3/14 -> 3.14 -> Pi Day. This means absolutely nothing in the scheme of things, but I just made fun of Cassidy Jill for having "Happy Pi Day" as her away message. According to her, "I'm in grad school, so it's okay."

OH speaking of CJ, I'm 98% going to visit her in North Carolina at the end of April. April 26-27 (Thurs-Fri), I have to be at something at Penn Relays for work (we're sponsoring a concert). Fri night, I'm flying out of Philly & going to NC. She's at Chapel Hill, so I assume we're staying there Fri night? She has a friend who I think lives in or right outside Raleigh, so the next day, we're going to the Raleigh Beer Festival for a kickin' good time. Hopefully Tricia will come too. Plus, I wanna go to Comic Con in July. Randy may go with me - and Norton, too. Yay Dork Fest '07.

Finally, the latest episode of MetroBuzz is out; if you like hearing me & John Norton talk (aka me being stupid since I get sidetracked easily & he's got a good voice & actual podcast-hosting abilities;)) then you should go on iTunes & look up MetroBuzz and download us or click here.

That's all for now. Off to help my friend Jen write an essay then to watch Lost. Happy Pi Day & all that jazz.

I hope that my sanity covers the cost

Finally the new Damine Rice CD is out on Tues, Nov. 14. You can preview 3 tracks at www.myspace.com/damienrice or stream the album/special features at his website. Fantastic.

Oh, P.S. Neil Patrick Harris is gay. I'm not sure what relevance this has to anyone's life, it really has none in mine, but it's 2:10am & I'm mad tired so I'm telling you anyway.

Marist tomorrow (today) to see Crazy For You, one of my all-time favorite shows that I've ever been in. 2 days til California/road trip!

Home Alone with Colleen McAllister

There's no way that it can't get better than this. Because otherwise, no one would get past 25! We cannot be the only people who feel this way. Otherwise, we've got some other serious problem." -Randy.

That made ME feel a little bit better the other night so I wrote it down as he said it hahahaha. He was trying to talk sense into me as I bitched & moaned & cried over how much I wish I was back at Marist & how I'm sorry that I was an asshole in general this summer. MOVING ON.

Ok bitches, here's the deal: I'm house/dog sitting for my aunt in Mt. Sinai (8 miles from my house in Ridge) for the next 2 weeks - til Sept 14. I know Eddie's coming out this Saturday to keep me company (9/2) & Princess Cupcake Assface Randy's coming to par-tay it up LI-style next Saturday (9/9). If anyone wants to come and hang out with me at all for the next 2 weeks, definitely, definitely call me. It's sort of lonely here with just the two dogs, not gonna lie, so if you wanna chill, this is my invitation. I'm working alot the next 2 weeks but whatev, it'll be an improvement over the nothing that I basically did all summer (except get drunk like 4 nights a week & go to the beach like every other day).

P.S. I watched the first like 10 minutes of the V.M.A.'s and I have 3 comments - 1) Justin Timberlake is still fucking gorgeous & 2) WTF was J.Lo wearing? 3) Lil Kim is not intelligent. Then I turned them off after Lil Kim because they were already boring me. That's all.

P.P.S. Yesterday was the first Wed between Sept-May that I was not at a board meeting at 11am in 2-and-a-half-years and it was really fucking weird. I don't know if I like having my soul back anymore...<3

K-Fed for MySpace

K-Fed For MySpace

Phil sent me this. It's hysterical. Then again, I think all things Federline are hysterical . Enjoy.

Colleen's attempt at blogging, take 2.

Ooookay, so after talking with the one and only Kelly Rainey on this fine evening, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and started regularly posting shiznit on a blog. Soooo I'm going to take some old MySpace blog posts and put them up and then start rambling here for your entertainment. Because I think that what I have to say is somewhat amusing, even if it has absolutely no relevance in anyone else's life. Ah, hell, you never know. I lived with Sarah & Amanda for 3 years. Their wittiness has to have rubbed off on me in one way or another...

Here goes. The first couple posts will have been ones that you've already read if you happen to follow my MySpace blog (which I update probably once every 3 weeks or so).

From Wednesday, July 12, 2006:

ok, here are some fun links for everyone's laugh out loud pleasure.

1) It's a Paris news story. Read it and love it. Then laugh about how ridiculous it is and let's start a discussion about whether or not she actually believes half the shit she says. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2004580002-2006320014,00.html

2) I don't even think I can properly comment on how absolutely hysterical this is. Mickey Rourke is crazy. Makes Mariah Carey look like the model of sanity. http://socialitelife.com/2006/07/12/mickey_rourke_angry_with_his_pinky.php

3) A little bit of "Arrested Development" for your entertainment. Both are short clips from 2 of the funniest (in my opinion) moments from season 2. This show is BRILLIANT. (Amanda & Sarah, you NEED to watch season 3. It's SO funny). http://youtube.com/watch?v=MV_Ll5MhmeM&search=arrested development
and

4) Not a link, but a quick antidote that Dunning told us at my graduation party. His friend was at a party with Christopher Walken, who may be my hero. Anyway, Walken's totally shitfaced and walks up to Dunning's friend and goes in his creepy, yet so bad ass Walken voice, "Ya know what the greatest part about being me is? I can go up to any girl here, take them home and fuck them in the ass and she'll let me." Yeah, sort of dirrrrrrty but his Christopher-fucking-Walken and he's probably got a point. I love that story. (Dunning, if I'm telling this wrong, correct me haha)
