Miss Advised

16 Jul 2012

Today was my first day of vacation, which consisted of me being a slowly (and painfully) unraveling ball of stress. It seemed the best course of action was to watch TV. Late in the afternoon I caught an episode of a new show on Bravo called “Miss Advised”. It’s a known trope that dating columnists, and match makers tend to …

Evangelion

13 May 2012

My first boyfriend was obsessed with Evangelion, and I thought he was stupid for liking big fighting robots. He admitted to liking the series for it’s big fighting robots and also being a lover of other Mecha anime. After we broke up I swore not to watch it because it …

Gathering of the Juggalos 2011!

14 Aug 2011

I must admit, I am obsessed with mocking the Insane Clown Posse. It is an amazing past time with hours of infomercials, hilarious music videos, their video blog, and now a live feed from the Gathering itself. I’m going to declare writing an annual post about the Gathering a tradition of this blog.

This year’s infomercial!…

End of Gaga's Paparazzi performance at 2009 VMAs

One of my clients got me back into popular radio in the fall of 2009. It spoke to an old desire to snark at and be wowed by the evolution of pop culture. The first time I knew I heard …

Kink in Pop Culture

05 Feb 2011

The cool kids have been doing it for a long time. Throwing a few O rings, gask masks, and leather straps into their “art”. Though recently it has become more prevalent in pop culture. From the appearance of poorly kept latex dresses, posture collars, song lyrics, to over the top BDSM imagery in music videos. It seems to be that …

Disobedience

04 Dec 2010

An old friend of mine was a fan of Pig, the primary music project of Raymond Watts. Watts was also known as a founding member of KMFDM, while he has come and gone multiple times from KMFDM he was a major contributor on Nihil, which is arguably their best. Nihil is known for the tracks “Juke Joint Jezebel”, “Ultra”, and …

Wheel of Time: It’s Good Reading Again!

06 Nov 2010

On November 2, 2010 the 13th book of the Wheel of Time series was released, The Towers of Midnight. For the first time in a decade I was excited for the release of a Wheel of time book. I started reading the Wheel of Time in the fall of …

Christina, Were You Ever Yourself?

15 Aug 2010

I have always found Christina Aquilera’s “Not Myself Tonight” ironic as she has never really had a consistent self image. Which is a shame because she has an amazing voice. I blame Disney for her never discovering who she really is.

However, while researching Tila Tequila’s Attack by the Juggalos I ended up watching one of her …

I could really use a miracle today

15 Aug 2010

I am really sad that I am missing the opportunity to see this live tonight. Such an inspirational song being performed in the place that inspired it. It’s been a tough week and I could use some ninja love.

At least there are 20 minutes …
