support el presidente

even if obama is kenyan and dithers on healthcare and sending troops to the middle east, that is no reason not to support our commander in chief. thank you man in bryant park for reminding us all of this, in a most colorful way.

reason #40979 why mtv is amazing

some call us the mtv generation. indeed, i grew up watching beavis and butthead and real world season 1 behind my parents' backs. i used to love watching music videos after school (pre-youtube this was our only chance at learning the hottest moves i would mimic at the catholic school dance to make the nuns go loca).

but since music television stopped playing music, real real world castmates were replaced by moronic anorexic barbies, and let's face it, it just lost it's cool (the hills? really?), i stopped watching mtv.

however, i am proud to say i will be back as of december 3rd. word is out about the new show, jersey shore. mtv has caught the "reality" jersey bug, even though bravo has been there done that with the real housewives. after that table clip, how could there not be another one.

jersey shore is apparently about the "hottest, tannest, crazies Guidos" living in a house at the Jersey shore, and judging from the promo and trailer, it's gonna be a doozy. GET READY FOR A WHOLE NEW CRAZY.

Jersey Shore - MTV Shows

they keep their hair high, their muscles juicy, and their fists pumping all summer long. so don't be a hater, and join me thursdays for what is bound to be endless entertainment so close to home.

welcome to the modern world.

to all of you not in new york, i'm sorry for you.

and to those of you that are, i'm sorry for you too.

le beaujolais nouveau est arrive

ENFIN!
it's been such a long year since the last.
although we'll be celebrating with a touch of melancholic nostalgia because we are not in paris where our hearts lie, you can find us here tonight if you want to buy us a glass and ponder whether this year's vintage has a hint of cherries or sandalwood.

it's no paris, but it'll have to do. comme c'est triste la vie.

bring back sal

as i hope you all know, last night was the season 3 finale of mad men, sniff sniff (wtf am i supposed to do on sunday nights?). at least we still have monday nights of gossip girl OMFG tonight is the 3some episode i hope you are involved chuckles bass.

NEWAYZ, other than being mad at mad men for leaving me hanging until july, i am pretty pissed that sal is gone. you better bring him back sterling-cooper-draper-price, it was just getting mcgaysteamy! but at least you came to your senses and wrote joan the beast back in.

a few fave moments from the season:
-joan being a fierce beast 24/7
-that british guy's foot getting cut off by a john deere in the office
-everyone's affairs
-jane's fur outifts
-sal finally hooking up with a man (and calling his wife from a payphone in the village with some sketchy characters behind him)
-betty's italian and skyhigh hair do in rome
-dramizzle as usual, why was i not born in that era to wear all those dresses?
-and as a bonus, in episode 12 i saw sterling drinking from the same glass i own, holla!

so, see you in season 4. i expect you to be fiercer than ever and get peggy a hot love interest for gods sake, what is up with campbell and duck? ew.

in the mean time, i will have to "mad men myself" for the next 9 months. a few examples so far...

in honor of our childhood.

happy birthday, sesame street!

totally looks like: german edition

first of all, happy november! welcome seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and pitch blackness by 5 pm. we will do our best to keep you entertained while you're drinking your mulled wine wrapped in a cheetah snuggie for the next 4 months (oh wait, that may just be me).

NEWAYZ
thank you to jamie for bringing this to all of our attention. in the spirit of one of my favorite time wasting websites, we bring you one of our own.

kyle totally looks like german fussballer philipp lahm (doing the signature kyle move no less- and they are both in deutschland- kosmik konnekshun?).


some chinglish in kyle's photo as a little bonus.
