for those of you who ARENT AWARE, disney is doing a remake of tron. and daft punk is doing the soundtrack. yah. i know.



word on the street is theyre going to tour in support of this... finger crossed. i would pee my pants to see them live.

WHY DO YOU INSIST THAT I TITLE MY POSTS BLOGGER??

sorry for the anger. im going to start titling my posts random shit that has nothing to do with that they are about.

oh yah also this:



and this:

frankie valli

Ok so I recently (like tonight when i heard it on the radio driving home) decided this song is one of my top ten all time faves. maybe if youre lucky ill do installments of the other nine when i decide what they are.

Anyways, heres Frankie Valli performing it last year in New York, and he still sounds seriously fantastic. (for some reason i thought he was dead... oops.) I plan on playing this about five times in a row when i get to work tomorrow. plus maybe twice in the car going to school and twice coming back home.

swimwear by angela kay!

hi friends!

what if the teabaggers werent white?

alright everyone, lets get a little serious.
tim wise, a prominent anti-racist writer and activist recently wrote this essay about the state of racial affairs in the US. he makes a strong statement about the state of race and free speech and is something everyone, regardless of political views, should read.

choice quote: "Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition."

please, please read this.

christina

christina aguilera definitely has a better voice than lady gaga, not to mention pretty much everyone else. but as far as this video goes, gaga did it first and better. nice try x-tina.

lab romance

earthquake

an old new zealander (i think?) reacting to experiencing the quake in san diego. so great.
EDIT: he's actually south african. thanks sinead and kevin.

modern family

i wasnt too excited about the first few episodes, but im starting to really love this show.

war journalism

reposted from boing boing

So apparently the Pentagon has footage of US military killing journalists. While I know (and hope) that this is probably an isolated incident, the fact that the Pentagon attempted to hide this makes me wonder what other information like this they are keeping quiet.
/end conspiracy theory
I also have always been someone who tries to be supportive of our troops regardless of how I feel about the war they are fighting, but things like this make it harder for me to do that.
Here's a screenshot from the video along with captions of what the pilots were saying.

a victim treats his mugger right

Here's a really heartwarming story about a mugging in New York. Too bad more people aren't as compassionate as this guy.

ps- did anyone else feel the earthquake that just happened? i was sitting in my backyard, it lasted for a good 20 or 30 seconds!

cat and box

credits to morgan for finding this gem. why do cats love boxes so much? the world will never know.

al bundy. major lazer.

musical nuggets

first, my current favorite song on the radio:
nothin on you by b.o.b who just so happens to be playing at coachella and will be an excellent dancetastic start to my day.


and second, the video to the theme song from ghostbusters because its hysterical 80s goodness. seriously, watch this.

lady gaga- telephone

this video is insane. edgy, sexy, with a dash of tarantino thrown in. lady gaga does nothing half-assed, her passion for what she does shows in everything she puts out and is so refreshing compared to what other artists are doing these days. she even manages to overshadow the ultimate diva, beyonce, in this video. LOVE IT.
(im praying this leads to her collaborating with my man tarantino on something.)

couldnt figure out how to emdbed this one, so heres the link:

band of skulls

thank you again coachella, for helping me discover these guys.

i just learned via wikipedia that they had a song on the new moon soundtrack which sort of disgusts me but oh well. not sure how i feel about their lyrics yet, they are lacking a little on some songs, but they more than make up for it with their catchy ass riffs.

leggings, tights and pants: the distinctions.

pants: i think we all know what pants are.
leggings: stretchy material in a pants-esque shape. may be cotton, shiny, lame, black, pink, etc. NOT sheer. generally do not have pockets or a zippy crotch plus button. except for the sometimes questionable jean leggings.
tights: sheer. can sometimes be of a thicker sweatery material, but still less substantial than leggings.

i am of the thinking that leggings can be worn sans pants, shorts or skirt on top, as long as the shirt worn mostly covers the crotchular region. while leggings will not expose said region, there is always the danger of camel toe. CONSTANT VIGILANCE IS REQUIRED.

tights, on the other hand, SHOULD NEVER BE WORN SANS PANTS, SHORTS OR SKIRT. seriously. they are not designed to cover your lady bits, even if they are of a less sheer knit.

i honestly cant believe that some people need to be told this, but i swear during the first week of school this year i saw a girl walking around wearing ONLY BLACK TIGHTS with a shirt that did not come close to covering her crotchular region. now i know youre probably thinking, come on blair, they were probably just questionable leggings. no. they were not. they were most definitely tights and i know because i stared at this girl for a full five minutes. i could not look away i was so fascinated/horrified.

anyways, apparently the Apparel does not agree with me that leggings can stand on their own. oh well. theyve started including warning labels in their leggings.
image here.

on a semi related note: went out downtown for a friend's birthday last night, and did not realized until this morning that my outfit was entirely american apparel aside from my shoes. im sort of proud and sort of disgusted with myself.

die antwoord

im not really sure what to make of these guys, which also seems to be what everyone else on the intertubes is thinking. die antwoord is afrikaans for the answer. not that that makes anything clearer. its ravey-minimal-electro-hip hop-ridiculousness. in early 90s outfits.
and of course pitchfork wrote about them.

arabic

wow. remind me not to bring my arabic homework with me when i fly. a middle eastern studies major from pomona college was detained by the TSA because he had arabic flashcards with him while he was going through security.

article here

i really hate titling every post

so i hate to admit it, but i kind of like this song. i know, i know. its vampire weekend. ill hand in my hipster card first thing tomorrow.

tarantino

ever since a friend in high school sat me down and made me watch pulp fiction, i have been a tarantino fan. this interview with him from the vancouver sun is really interesting. lots of things i didnt know about him.
also anyone who hasnt seen death proof, DO SO ASAP. its extremely underrated.
