What are you guys getting your moms for Mother's Day?


I dunno what to get mine, she doesn't need anything specific o.O; I went looking for something at Sephora and I found a nice kit from fresh scent but hm that was about it o.O; I might go look in one of those small craft type stores to see if I find anything cool.

Dude does anyone else find John King from CNN and his magic map hot? AHAHAHA, last night it took so long for the Indiana results to come in, that to fill air time they just showed him playing around with it. I was like wtf is he doing? Practicing? That map is pretty cool though.
Creepy McCain is on The Daily Show LOL, I guess he's really trying to reach those young voters. LOLLOLLOL Jon Stewart is making fun of John King's obsessive mapping *dying*

Ohhhh those BT and LS dvds I ordered a million years ago finally arrived lol. I get to pick them up this weekend yey!

So recently I've been trying to get into new music because uh j-rock isn't that interesting to me anymore and a lot of the bands I do like are kind of going downhill. I downloaded Midnight Boom by The Kills after I heard their song Sour Cherry playing on last week's episode of Gossip Girl 8D It's a really cool album, it sounds very distorted and alternative. Each song is about 3 min long, this is my fav song on the album...



The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful


8D Its so awesome! Turns out that this weekend this band is having a show at Johnny Brenda's BUT I can't go cuz I promised my b/f I'd go to Buffalo with him to see his family :x So anyway...>.>;

I also downloaded the MUCH ANTICIPATED self-titled Santogold album, which is like amazing. Ok at first when I listened to it I was a bit disappointed because I expected more songs like Creator and less songs like L.E.S Artistes but its quite the opposite which makes it really good b/c then there's less OMG M.I.A v.2.0 you know? Plus that whole M.I.A movement was annoying both sonically and visually. I think its really cool to see women of color making alternative music. BTW the L.E.S Artistes video is insane O.O At first I was like this is boring but then really weird and awesome stuff starts happening check it out



Santogold - L.E.S Artistes



My fav tracks on her album are: Superman, Say Aha, Unstoppable, I'm a Lady, Anne.
This summer The Roots are having a festival thing in Philadelphia, Santogold, Gnarles Barkley among others are going to be performing, I wanna go but you can only buy the tix through EVIL ticketmaster so you know they have their retarded fees ughh.

And totally OT but I'm tired of people complaining about Project Runway moving to Lifetime network b/c its not a "gay" friendly network or whatever the fuck and all the gays over on the Project Rungay blog are up in arms. omg its just a tv station!!! You get the see the show anyhow, they're worried its gonna be IDK less gay or highfashion or something b/c its moving to a woman's network. Bravo wasn't that cool of a network before PR either so stfu -.-

The cast of Sex and the City are on Oprah today, ew SJP stop that horrible squealing that was one of the top 100 annoying things about Carrie ew.

I went to vote earlier today around 1 pm, it was actually pretty uneventful :/ There was no line or anything hahaa, I missed the morning rush so I assume there will be more people voting once the work day ends. The voting place was actually right across the street from me o.O; I can't believe Obama isn't gonna be here when the results are announced, he said he thinks she'll win but by a narrow margin D: This just mean this primary shit will NEVER END ughhh, just pick someone so we can all focus on attacking creepy McCain. I was reading this funny story about how one time he got mad and called his wife a cunt in front of reporters. He has a well documented temper problem 8D



CNN Express Bus! They're set up right outside the Philadelphia Art Museum, if you've been watching CNN I'm sure you've seen many a broadcast with this backdrop. The tallest building in the skyline is the uglyass Comcast building, it was completed recently and basically looks like a USB stick D: LOL



They left their equipment there alone out in the open! LOL there was no one watching it. I bet they have really good insurance so they don't care if someone jacks one of their lights or something hahahaaa.

I've been following the Texas Polygamist story, have you guys seen those creepy interviews with the women? OMG honestly when I saw them on Larry King I was like...are they mentally damaged? I mean I guess technically they are because of the years of systematic abuse and inbreeding, plus they don't sound very articulate or educated. Everything they said was emotionless and sounded rehearsed. A lot of people have pointed out how they don't know how to deal with or answer questions they haven't been coached for. Also people pointed out how they only seemed concerned for the welfare of their female children, since the boys are used for forced child labor then sent off the compound just like Bill on Big Love XD Or the male children are breed to continue the cycle of abuse.
At first when the story broke I felt kind of bad that these kids were being separated from their mothers but if the mothers are engaging in the abuse and sending their kids off to be married to these older men then the children are better off elsewhere in a safe environment. I still want to know where all the men of the compound are o.O; Also to me these mothers aren't displaying real emotion for the loss of their children, they wipe invisible tears >.>

Nehuu I'm making homemade peach iced-tea :9 Earlier I made some catfish and corn yum XD

dude i just watched Steven's Untitled Rock Show, he had the Japanese bands from the Taste of Chaos tour on. He interviewed MUCC, D'espairsRay and The Underneath. Its kinda weird to see these bands we all listened to from years ago on American tv and touring you know? I think jrock fans nowadays are lucky because they no longer have to dream about going to Japan to see some of their favorite bands, there are realistic possibilities about them touring here and getting the recognition they deserve.

Even though I haven't listened to MUCC in ages it was still exciting to see them on tv and be their lulz selves ahha. I thought yhe interviews went rather smoothly except when Tsukasa and Hizumi decided to poke their mics in Yaz's (translator's) face and she was all like WTFZ are you guys doing? DDD: Also something got lost in the translation or someone forgot that this isn't the first tour D'esray ever did in the U.S, they had that ill-fated tour with JpopHouse or whatever that company was called. If I were them I would prolly block that out too LMAO!

Anyway none of the bands were socially awkward like Dir are in interviews, seriously what's wrong with Dir? AHAHAH. Have you guys seen that weird-ass Kaoru interview with that one chick from Myspace? I tried to watch it but it was painful ahhaaha.

Nehuu Desray and The Underneath have U.S releases of their albums out or coming out, so look out for that.

On the topic of jrock bands touring in the U.S don't forget to check out the Electric Orchid Productions website on Friday to see which j-rock band they'll be bring stateside!!!!

Continuing on the saga that is My Loud-ass Neighbor! On Saturday night my b/f and I went to have dinner at this horrible place called the Mexican Post, so our waiter comes up to take our order and I hear 'that voice'. Loud-Ass Neighbor has this very distinctive bass-hard-gruff voice and I was like 'omg I think our waiter is my neighbor!' HAHAHA. Nehuu I've seen him vaguely before and I think it was definitely him, plus his voice is so deep and uncommon it further convinced me. I wonder if he met his ex at the Mexican Post lol!!! Nehuu the food tasted like it came out of a can ughh lame. But the tequila/mango thing I had was awesome LOL!

On Friday night I went out to have dinner in Chinatown with my b/f and his friends and their g/fs. His friends both date Asian women, so we were walking by this group of people and one Asian guy was like 'This is what's wrong right here!' And I was like o.O; WTF? In Philadelphia its really common to see Caucasian males dating Asian women, but you hardly ever see white women with Asian guys. So anyway...it was weird and awkward. One time me and my b/f were walking down the street and we passed this group of black guys and one of the guys was like 'Don't hold his hand, hold mine' and I was like WTF? Comments like that are so lame and disgusting you know? Its like oh you look like you fit into a certain race due to your skin color so you belong with a man of the same color or some bullshit like that, same deal with the Asian guy objecting to my b/f's friends dating Asian girls. Its like you don't even know us girls and why we choose to date outside our race so just STFU and back the hell off its none of your business anyway. -.-;

Nehuu I think the China Olympics are gonna be a bust...they keep saying how its not about politics but about athleticism or whatever, but basic human rights are being violated and innocent people are being killed, how can they be ignored so that some sporting event can go on? Its kind of sick idk :/ I'm usually really excited about the Olympics but this whole thing is just a bit scary how all these organizations supporting it can neglect what the Chinese government is doing. Also those hosts on CNN during the day are fucking retarded! They did a piece on the protests in San Francisco against the Olympics and afterwards the CNN host was like going goo-goo over the Olympic torch, I mean WTF? You've just done reporting on people protesting injustice going on in the world and focus the story on some piece of plastic that carries a flame? UGHH, its like what those people stand for doesn't even matter.

There's a big story about 200+ women and children removed from a polygamy compound in Texas. Personally I think the whole thing is fucking disgusting and an excuse for child abuse and pedophilia masked by religion. I saw this thing on tv called Secret Lives of Women: Polygamists. And this one lady was like 'I don't wanna take care of a man all by myself that seems like hard work, so I want other sister wives.' And I was like WTF? Marriage isn't about TAKING CARE of a man, its a partnership, she was so fucking brainwashed it was ridiculous. This other lady was forced to marry her step-dad and have sex with him, its so fucking sick and incestuous the whole thing. This other story on the show was about twin sisters married to the same guy, omg wtf? One 17 yo girl left and she said that the kids are so brainwashed and uneducated they know nothing about the outside world or even who the current President is @.@; And plus they get assigned to their husbands and they don't know who they're gonna marry until like hours before the ceremony, often times they're married off to severely older men since most of the young men are driven off the compound so that they won't be competition for these old fucking pedophiles. And then they mentioned something about the sex and how the women aren't allowed pleasure because if they're enjoying it, its being done wrong. Ugh the whole thing is so fucking sexist and sick D:

On a lighter note, Battlestar Galactica is back! Omg it was so awesome, I loled at Gaius' weird harem hahahaa. Then I screamed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! at the tv when the episode ended, such a cruel cliffhanger D:

Oh so remember that loud-ass neighbor I ranted about one time? The one with the dog who was always yapping on the fucking phone. Well finally something came along to shut his ass up! That being his girlfriend very loudly breaking up with him. Omg I couldn't believe the drama I was overhearing since she was basically screaming really loudly outside my door. She was like HOW DID YOU EXPECT ME TO FUCKING REACT TO YOU BRINGING YOUR EX-GIRLFRIEND TO HANG OUT! THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME WHAT GUYS ARE LIKE HANGING OUT WITH THEIR EX-FUCKERS YOU FUCKING MOTHERFUCKER FUCK YOU! YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY YOU FUCK! FUCK YOU! and then he muttered a very quiet, sorry. And then she ranted on some more about him being an insensitive douchebag for bringing along the ex and then she was like THANKS FOR MAKING ME FUCKING CRY YOU FUCK! hahahaa omg.
I mean honestly why did the ex even agree to go? She must still have feelings for him and that's what the current g/f was picking up on. Anyway then the g/f was like THANKS FOR MAKING ME WASTE TIME ON YOU! YOU AND YOUR EX-FUCK! hahaha omg. Man so much dramaz. Honestly though I've seen the guy and he looks and sounds like a giant douchebag so good for her for not taking that bullshit haha.


Jane and her suitors

Nehuu while this was going on I was trying to watch that movie called Becoming Jane, god why did they make Jane out to be such a....idk annoying character? UGHH I was like ughh leave her James McAvoy you're such a hot cad ILU! HAAHHAA Seriously his charm is amazing to me. I like the first half of the movie when they were flirting and he was totally delicious but I just don't understand where they "fell so madly in love." All of sudden she's abandoning her family for him and blah blah it was pretty lame but she ended up dying unmarried XO Anyway also I didn't understand the casting of the family, everyone was like blond and there was Anne Hathaway with her dark tresses, it was confusing. Also the rest of the family looked like they could be related but she didn't look like any of these ppl hahaa. I mean the movie was enjoyable but I think had some editing/pacing problems and I didn't buy that Jane and uh...James McAvoy's character were in love. PLUS the other dude [blonde guy on the right] who was courting her was so cute in that awkward dorky way! And she wouldn't even give him a chance, like god wtf he lives down the road you can take some time to get to know him w/o judging. But she put up this wall cuz her family wanted her to marry him for money basically, but he wasn't totally hideous or obscene or anything, in fact he seemed really nice and respectful but whatever, even Jane Austen couldn't resist the bad boy with a reputation haahaha.

And randomly that Step it Up & Dance show on Bravo is totally HORRIBLE! Ew I hope they don't preform in an empty auditorium with four judges for the entire competition. With popular dance shows on other channels with live audiences, this shows' format is really horrible and boring and the contestants dance skills weren't wow inducing and they're just too many bitchy gays D: God I hope there's not a next Christian Siriano, just TMTH!!!!! Hahaha Danny Noriega from AI is my fav over the top gay of the season ahahhaaa.
BTW America's Best Dance Crew was hot! Hahahaa the people on that show had more talent and charisma than these "trained" pros Bravo got.

Also quick note on AI why do they keep making David Cook hotter every week? During the first weeks of this show I was like omg he looks like a douche I hate him and his combover receding hairline. Then he got that haircut this week and his performances from the past weeks have made him very appealing :D WRY?
Also David Archuleta I just don't get it...I don't think this kid could really sell millions of albums he has the personality and charisma of a wet rag D:

The other day I was walking through J Crew and the security guard was like, 'you have a nice complexion' and i was like o.O; LOL....um thanks?
HAAH why do guys say weird things to girls? Does this happen to you girls out there? Its kind of hilarious and random, I mean who tells someone they have a nice complexion? HAHAAH. Its a nice complement though, I have an intense skin regimen ahaha XD

Anyway um I rented this movie called Legend of the Black Scorpion, with Ziyi Zhang and half way through I was like I think I've seen this story before, then I realized that the movie is basically Curse of Golden Flower with more artsy shots and less than stellar acting. Ziyi basically plays the role of Gong Li (Queen in love with her 'step son' and who wants to overthrow the king and gets other people involved in her plot) in this movie and its like bad, like idgi ahah, but she's all like nude and showing her bum haah wtf? And the action isn't even that great D: But it has loads of artsy shots of blood dripping off stuff. Just BAD! I haven't finished watching it and I don't think I will lol.

Then I rented this HBO show called Tell me you love me, which is about a bunch of couples and their relationship/sex problems and it has very, very graphic sex scenes, like I saw BALLS!! so weird ahah I don't think I've ever seen a guy's testicles in a sex scene EVER! and I've seen some pretty graphic mainstream movies, (i.e: Lie with Me, 9 songs) ahahahahaaaaaaaaaa. Also at one point one of the actresses gets to jerk off a prop boner haahahaa. IDK i've only watched 2 episodes and I'm intrigued by the married lady who hasn't had sex with her husband in a year and can't masturbate, like wtf lady go buy a vibrator hahaa.
I'm waiting for fucking Californication to be released on dvd, best show ever! Omg David Duchovny is really sexy in it, the writing is AMAZING, so funny and sexy, really great.




Also The Tudors S2 is starting in a few weeks, the new promo campaign for it has JRM and the actress who plays Anne Bolyen all sexed up. What is that wine spilling represent? Her loss of virginity? Ahah I'm so confused as to what happened during the S1 finale. ( spoiler ).

I got my first unemployment pay :O I checked my account the other day and I was confused by the balance and I thought my rent check just hadn't gone through or something but anyway um its good ^^ So now I can go invest $50 of it into those cute black ballet flats I saw at Aldo the other day ;A; I had this other pair from Chinese Laundry that are a pain in the ass to walk in so I need a replacement pair D: Also why doesn't Loehmanns have as good a selection of shoes anymore? I mean they have these cute Tory Burch and COACH ones but those are like out of my price league at the moment :x

I'm bored and browsing the egl, i must say i think the girls who wear this stuff now and invest a lot of time and money into it look really good for the most part. i remember when people would post their photoshoots a few years ago they'd look pretty bad/half assed. but looking at people's shoots is fun, they all look cute for the most part and go the extra mile of doing their hair and makeup D: which is what lot of people never did a few years ago, i mean its great your outfit is exact but its the little details that really pull everything together.

This set of photos were taken by some professional photographers and they look so amazing! it looks like some great high end lolita catalog. i like the sense of fun they all seem to be having and how comfortable and relaxed they are.

oh btw carnet_atelier those pinup artworks you posted are so great ^^


Jessica Alba in Dolce & Gabbana

In terms of fashion trends these days its nice to see it going back to more conservative looks, the conservative look for teens and young ladies was seen a lot on Gossip Girl which I loved! That show was great fashion eye candy. The whole belly baring, thong showing, low low rise jeans thing was totally horrible and I'm glad we're over that. Now we get high waisted pants! aka mom jeans lol, those don't look good on anyone I swear, unless you're some 6ft tall model but I like the loose fitting dresses that were all the rage during Fall/Winter.
I kind of hate browsing through magazines and seeing them forcasting the same fucking trends they did last year! Its like yes we know every Summer the nautical look comes back into fashion and Spring has lots of bright colors omg D: and not to mention animal prints are always returning D:


Naomi Watts in Dolce & Gabbana

I really liked um the art/painted trend, you see the famous Dolce & Gabbana dress [pictured above] on every fucking magazine cover! I loved that dress until every actress wore it on mags released in the last 2 months D:
I hate how that art/painted trend hasn't trickled down to anything for the low-end consumer lol. I thought high fashion was supposed to trickle down D: lol


In totally unrelated news, THE STRIPPER GOT VOTED OFF AI!!! lmaolmao. why is the results show ONE hour? omfg D: that shit should last like half an hour and why would America wanna hear the bottom 3 sing again? it was painful enough the first time around that's why they're in the BOTTOM D:
Oh Top Chef returned, omg Anthony Bourdain was a judge, I have a huge older man crush on him hee ♥

"Does your dick dance?"



OMG DEXTERRRRRRRRRR :999~~~~ LOL the character of his sister said that quote in relation to what made this psycho bitch Lila so fucking obsessed with him.

( season finale thoughts )

This show is really amazing, I highly recommend you guys check it out if you haven't already. The first season is available on dvd and the second one is available for download on the torrents if you're interested. The writing, acting and story lines are really compelling and great. It really needs more recognition, but at least Michael C. Hall got a Golden Globe nod this year :D


Also the internetz is now complete with nsfw_ontd LOL!! You need to join to see the entries.

Last night was the abrupt season finale due to the writer's strike although judging the season overall the writers went on strike a long time ago. I think this show needs to work on its budgeting, there's no point in having a whole show about people with extraordinary abilities if you never get to see them use it in an intelligent way. Last season's finale we expected an epic battle between a much hyped villain and a man with the potential to explode and go nuclear, instead we got a glorified fist fight. If this show can't deliver interesting battles and fights and allocate money to great special effects then it'll keep letting everyone down, not to mention the horrible writing and characters who lose brain cells at intense rates and have no common sense to begin with. Its just a bad plot device and an insult to the viewers who've come to have high standards when it comes to tv entertainment due to all the amazingly written shows found on cable.

( thoughts on the finale )

Overall the whole season kinda sucked, there were one or two really good episodes in there but they couldn't save the whole thing. Maybe the Villains volume will be better because the writers can't handle writing heroic characters at all.

In Heroes related matters, this week's episode bored me. Elle is like some weird puppy dog who needs constant attention and lol @ Adam boning 18 yo Elle, you're a dirty old man Adam ew, you're like 400 yrs old!!! Are they ever going to give us a hint as to how the Wonderless!Twi
