Hello, New York!
Aside from amusement parks and concerts, I’ve never felt as surrounded by people as I have when I was in Times Square.
"Tell you what? You can have all that stuff back AND we’ll throw in White Entertainment Television and stop shooting you. In return we’ll take the 90% of the seats in Congress, $95,000 more wealth than the average White family, a 75% home ownership rate to your 48%, lower interest rates, 83% of the board seats in Fortune 500 companies, better healthcare, a 4 year longer life expectancy than you and dominance of the other 5000 television channels. We’ll also need about one out of every eight White men to report immediately to prison. Feel free to rock, paper, scissors that shit amongst yourselves. Nice doing business with you."

I love looking at Nasa’s Picture of the Day. Look at this and tell me you think we’re the only life in the universe.

Basically, the message is: be proud of what you are and what you do, and tough it out when it gets rough, keeping in mind that the d-bags that are taunting you today will be living in squalor a decade from now. The problem, of course, is that none of that is always or usually the case. Sometimes the d-bags win. Sometimes the bully gets the corner office. And sometimes critics are just doing their damn job, and are even (gasp) right.
Can I just say something, or will I be accused of being a big old meanie-pants? I laughed at loud at the sight of Swifty strumming on the banjo. I had a flash to Deliverance, I swear to God. I’M SO MEAN. Since I’m already going to banjo hell, I’ll also say that I still think Swifty looks “off”. Like, Fatal Attraction “off”. Her little head tilts and the way she stares down the camera… it creeps me out. Someday Swifty is going to take her revenge on all of those dudes who dumped her over the phone. And it won’t be with some banjo strummin’. It will involve a syringe and a wood-chipper.

Totally agree. Besides, I’m pretty sure she was “Mean” to Camilla Belle when she said she’s more famous for “what she does in the mattress.”

Last night, I had THE best Tex Mex food I’ve had in a loooong time. My wonderful roommate, Bev brought it home to me because I’d been working so hard writing an essay all day.
Beef tacos, rice and beans, cornmeal biscuit, REAL guacamole, chips and salsa and the best tortilla soup I’ve ever had.
I was full even before I was done eating but I kept on eating because it was just. That. Good.
Here’s Zoë Saldana in what I believe is….Calvin Klein? I could be wrong though. It’s a very pretty dress. The fabric reminds of of the kind Emma Stone wore to this year’s Golden Globes: very straight and doesn’t wrinkle or cling.
But is it really memorable or Met Gala worthy? This is the woman who wore this purple number to the Oscars. MORE of that Zoë. Cause this gown, while pretty, is not what the night stood for. And even though the Oscar dress was hated (I personally liked it from the waist up) it was not forgotten.
Here is Rihanna in Stella McCartney. Absolutely loved the silhouette the gown gave her. So completely sexy and definitely not the kind of gown you see everyday. What I did not like? Her braid. I mean, I get it. She’s Rihanna! She’s edgy! She’s cool! But it only takes one small thing to turn something from Fashion to Tacky.
Her hair reminds of me those suuuuper cheap packets of hair in the back of the weave store. You know which ones I’m talking about. The bright multi-coloured Kanelokon hair that comes in red and lime-green. And you ask yourself, “Who the f-ck is BUYING that sh-t!?” Well now we know it’s not just that woman down the street who has purple streaks in her hair. It’s Rihanna too.
