You Don't Look Jewish, You Don't Act Jewish
Spoken word poetry isn't really my thang, but this piece* by Vanessa Hidary is perfectly concise and a bit funny as well. Hidary is a little kooky, but one really can't disagree with her message to fight prejudice. Plus, it's still Passover, so blogging about the 'Hebrew Mamita' seems apprope.
*Special thanks to the black sheep.

Top That!
Even though he sucks, I really liked the sweater Chris Brown wore yesterday when he plead not guilty to assault charges.
*This pic only features the aforementioned clothing item in an effort to save, er, face for writing about this loser.

I Want
I want this tiny camel to be my pet because it looks soft, smiley and possibly a little stuck up.
Isn't It Ironic?
Shout out to Brit Spears for losing the crazies and getting back to her career, but isn't it ironic that her parents rehabbed her so she could wear nipple tassels on her new tour?
Sad But True
While I am still a huge fan of Jon & Kate Plus 8, season 4 felt different (the finale aired last Monday), and I couldn't put my finger on it until now. Somehow I found my way to Peter Harlaub's article where he articulates the family's evolution that has made then unrelatable. Where I was first interested to see how Jon and Kate afforded groceries for 10 people, Christmas presents and new clothes, it is now clear how they've profited for the show, making any budgeting issues seem non-existent. Their struggle has gone from parenting 8 kids to handling fame, not exactly the show's original premise. Never fear, I am still tuned in (I have to know if Alexis adds to her aldergator collection), but much of the show's unique charm has evaporated.
Side note, I am currently reading Kate's Multiple Bles8ings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets to get the nitty gritty details on all things Gosselin. For me, it's a little God-heavy. Her story and faith could easily be conveyed without the almost compulsive religious references, but what else could I expect given the title? The good news: Mady seems way less annoying in print.

Fierce, Tranny, Fierce!
Beyonce, pop's greatest robot, is on tour again and switched up her set list with a cover of Alanis Morissette's 90's hit "You Oughta Know." Beyonce adds her signature fierceness (Alanis never wore booty shorts) and proves that any truly great song can transcend its genre.
But the real question, will Alanis ever cover "Sing Ladies (Put a Ring On It)"?
Funny Bone
While I clearly love my own blog, I have found one (shown one, rather) that far surpasses me in the funny department. Fuck You, Penguin chronicles animals and how they ruin one blogger's day. I cried laughing as each entry topped the previous. The blog is safe for work (except the title), but make sure you're in the right environment for LOLing.
Allison the Duster Resurfaces!
My favorite Intervention story ever finally has an update: Allison, who was addicted to inhaling canned aired used to clean electronics, is reflecting on her experience. Now 5 months and 3 weeks sober, Allison says she does not suffer any long term affects from her daily (er, minute-ly) habit, but still struggles with how easily accessible her drug of choice is (it stared her in the face at a recent job interview). While Allison's episode did provide some comic relief (see It's Like I'm Walking On Sunshine!), I am glad to see she's kicked the inhalants and is doing well.

Solid Like Barack!
President Obama is currently taping at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and I walked over to see the motorcade. With perfect sidewalk positioning, he drove right by me and was waving at the crowd while talking on his cellphone (or pretending to, an old Paris Hilton trick). The amount of security that followed him was insane and I'm pretty sure a sniper was spotted on top of a near by building. Despite being sweaty from the walk, it was awesome!
