You Know Who I Hate?

Alison Becker.  I cannot STAND Alison Becker.  She is the current host of VH1’s weekly Top 20 video countdown.  And she is seriously one of the most annoying people on the planet.  She’s one of those hosts who keeps you painfully aware, at all times, that she is reading from a cue card, and that whoever wrote the cue cards hates her guts. Because there is no other reason I can think of that they would make her say half of the drivel that comes out of her mouth.  They clearly relish how much of an idiot they are making her sound like.

Long gone are the days of Aamer Haleem and Rachel Perry, who were actually good at being VJ’s.  I miss them.

How sad of a day is it when you wake up and realize that you actually have an opinion on the VJ’ing capabilities of people on VH1?

Sigh.

You Know What I Hate?

 It goes without saying that girls who talk in valley girl voices are annoying.  Especially the ones who talk in such a way that EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE is a question. You know what I’m talking about, right? 

Anyway, I’ve had the recent unfortunate experience of being in the company of someone who not only talks that way, but adds to that a baby-voice, and adds to THAT the impossibly irritating way of saying words that have double t’s in them as if there are no t’s at all.

So, for example, the word “written” becomes “wri-en”.  Almost like you’re saying “written” with a hiccup in the middle.  I HATE THIS.

But you know what I love?  When House gets like, totally all Valley Girl.  LOVE!

Dance - You Either Get It, Or You Don’t

Have I told you guys how much I love the show So You Think You Can Dance? Because if I haven’t, I need to tell you that I LOVE THIS SHOW.

My husband refuses to watch it, although he does maintain a presence in the same room as me when it’s on. Every now and then, I’ll glance over at him and notice that he’s watching the TV with a look on his face that can best be compared to the look one might have after eating really bad fish. Only a little more confused.

Meanwhile, I’ll be sitting in my overstuffed chair, utterly captivated by how the dancers can contort themselves and move the way they do. I can’t get enough of it. Sometimes, I will say, “OMG honey - can you BELIEVE how good she was?” to which he will reply, “That was good?? It looked like she made a bunch of mistakes and fell down a bunch of times” because he is absolutely incapable of appreciating contemporary dance. I guess it’s like art - you either appreciate its beauty and originality and message, or you look at it and think, “A second grader could paint that.”

Anyway, behold my most favorite routine from a few seasons back. Even though it’s to a Celine Dion song. If I recall correctly, my husband saw this and could only say, “That dude is gay.” Sigh.

Bucky Eisenstein

I was bet a dollar to not laugh at this video by Holmes. I failed. This is one of the many short performances by Mike Meyers last night on the MTV Movie Awards. I did not watch said event because I don’t have cable. And, unfortunately, MTV-Tres does not believe that their demographic would enjoy watching. Jerks.

I Have Been Sucked In Again

I probably should just not watch TV ever.  Because once again, I have fallen for a very persuasive commercial, about a product which I can practically guarantee won’t work, but because of the sheer possibility that it MIGHT, I am now $32.00 poorer than I was just moments ago.

I have just purchased the SONIC SCRUBBER, which is a product that looks like an electric toothbrush but which is really an implement designed to clean impossible places like the corners of tile showers, and the gooey crap that builds up around your faucets, and, according to the commercial, COUNTLESS OTHER PLACES.

The ordering process was very sneaky, because you click that you want the $19.99 SONIC SCRUBBER, and then you get all of these follow up screens which say, “BUT LOOK!  For just $10 more you can have this and this and this and this!”  And it’s only because my husband is sitting right next to me that I didn’t end up spending over $100 on all sorts of retarded products.  Anyway, I spent the $19.99 on the SONIC SCRUBBER, another few bucks on tax, and then the balance of the $32 on shipping.  But I COULD have spend just $12.00 more for RUSH shipping which would have guaranteed delivery in 7 days, or I could have OVERNIGHTED it for many more dollars.

Which begs the question, how dirty is your house if you need to OVERNIGHT such a product?

Anyway, since I didn’t spend any extra money on fancy fast shipping, it will probably take at least 8 weeks to get here.  I almost hope it does so that I can call their customer service line and speak to a new Life Hating Person. 

Once this genius product arrives, I will take before and after photos of all the nasty places in my house that need super sonic cleaning, and once again, you’ll have the benefit of my experience before purchasing one of these things yourself.

You’re welcome! :)

Peter Griffin…a Bull Frog…& Lactose Intolerance

I earned some television privileges at the YMCA on Sunday night by not disturbing the ladies’ bathroom during “open hours”. I know…it’s the little things that count in the world, the gentle thoughtfulness pervasive to humankind. Anyway, I took a moment to watch my favorite show, “Family Guy.” This scene made me laugh so hard that milk came out of my nose. And my lactose intolerance has kept me off the moo-juice since my mother pushed me away as a baby.

Tom Cruise on Oprah

So Tom Cruise was interviewed by Oprah at his Telluride home.  And my observations from the show are as follows:

1.  Tom Cruise has a really good decorator, and his house is impossibly gorgeous. 
2.  Katie Holmes likes to bake fattening sweets which are apparently eaten by no one.
3.  Tom feels kinda bad about his interview with Matt Lauer, but not bad enough to actually apologize for how much of a jerk he was
4.  Tom has clearly been asked to tone down the scientology schtik, but his mouth gets all quivery and he looks like he’s about to jump out of his skin whenever the cult religion is mentioned
5.  Tom and Katie have their own mountain lookout, which Tom took Oprah to on one his tricked out snowmobiles, and the view is so beautiful that it made Oprah cry and wish peace unto him in some sapped out way that made the entire viewing audience collectively want to punch both of them squarely in the face

In conclusion, I’m still fairly certain he’s insane.

We’re Gonna Make News - We’re Gonna Break News

I love Tracey Ullman so much for parodying Rita Cosby, who could be the most irritating news correspondent of All Time.

Hooray! Family Feud is the Breast! I mean Best!

If you were going on a game show as a contestant, and you knew that you had the chance to win a substantial amount of cash and prizes, and more importantly, you knew that you were likely going to be doing lots of jumping and cheering, what sort of top would you wear?  Thank you, alert and astute reader Jamie for bringing this clip to our attention.
