gleeory

im brilliant.

so early this morning as i was making my thri-weekly commute to school, i was singing in my radio-less car. (honestly, with no radio and an hour of highway time, entertainment is limited..) and the song i happened to be belting was none other than darren criss'(s?) not alone from avpm. those who have heard it can understand why i would sing the tune; its beautimous. anyways, as i was singing it i thought to myself, "man, they should sing this on glee.. too bad they wont cause its an original and pretty unknown song and they never do that type of music.."

and then it all came flooding back.

rachel: "MR SHUUU i think we should do an original song for regionals! something about an anthem! and i should sing it cause im a shiny star with more talent and promise than mariah, whitney, jesus and the chefs at carabbas combined!"
mr shu: "rachel, oh my god shut up."

but it got me thinking.. an unknown song thats about inspiration and togetherness and rainbows and kittens and can be applied to gay power while still being an actual good tune.. they can pass it off as though a gleek wrote it and sing it as an anthem and a tribute to kurt and the rest of the bullied population. karofsky can finally come out of the closet and rock a solo and new directions will sweep sectionals.

its so perfect i could squeal.
so i did.
alot.

i wouldnt doubt if this gleeory became a gleeality. so keep your eyes peeled and your ears trained to hear this song thats about to drop. cause its gonna be a smash.

G-bomb

all of my six followers should know by my frequent postings that i idolize stephen tyrone colbert. he is by far the funniest person on television and probably off-television as well. anyways, last night i was watching the colbert report and he called his nation to action.

apparently, pennsylvania senator rick santorum is a raging homophobe who likened gay sex to man-on-dog sex. so i immediately hated him. but im not the only one. in 2003, dan savage decided to get back at santorum for his gay-ist comment by giving his last name a new definition.

santorum: the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.

now even though this definition makes me never want to look at refried beans again, ive got to give it to savage. after his new definition hit the internet it spread like kudzu. it coined the term google bomb or g-bomb if you will. now, if you google santorum, the number one definition is the sexcrement, number two is the senator.

what does this have to do with colbert? well last night, he informed us that santorum was making a potential run for the oval office. to halt his hail-to-the-chief plans, colbert called his nation to action to google bomb santorum yet again by clicking on every single link that didnt necessarily name the senator. being an active citizen of the nation, i participated and sure enough 'santorum' reached the number four spot on the most googled terms.

WE DID IT NATION!!
to help drop the g-bomb on santorum, here are the links.
im pretty sure we wont be swearing in president sexcrement come 2012.
president colbert on the other hand...

mi observacions

ive recently taken a habit of conciously observing everything. id like to share. hope you dont mind.

some people at my school have the iq of creamed corn.
oklahoma is the most bipolar state when it comes to weather.
this library smells like stale fish.
my skin is so pale it has now become transluscent.
john grisham is fabulous.
so is glee.
speaking of glee, darren criss is humanuh humanuh hot.
i took a guy's order yesterday. his name was michael scott. i laughed at him.
when my car accelerates, it sounds like a rocket right before it explodes and falls out of the stratosphere.
if towns in oklahoma were food, edmond would be white bread.
tulsa would be delicious.
i have way too much homework to do.
i should probably stop blogging.
im going to stop blogging.

spring should be sprung

for the first time in a very long time, i wish spring was here.

normally i FALL in love with WINTER but im in a spring-y outfit and i have my spring-y perfume on and i dont want to step in post-snow slush puddles anymore.

i miss green grass.
i miss breezes that dont make my very soul require a jacket.
i miss cloud-watching.
i miss doing homework outside under a tree like this.

spring needs to spring already..

dick van dynamic

lately, ive been feeling childish.

not in the sense of throwing tantrums in the middle of the cereal aisle, or wailing when i dont get 18 servings of chocolate a day. ive been feeling childish because for the past week, ive had an unbelievable amount of disney songs and movies bouncing around my hat rack.

stocking napkins at work: arabian nights (aladdin)
making the thri-weekly commute to school: i wanna be like you (jungle book)
reading the latest john grisham: beauty and the beast (need i mention the title?)

but the most prevalant song this week by far has been toot sweet. i cant shake it. dick van dyke has been on my case about the fruit tooters almost every waking moment. i cant say im upset, chitty² bang² is one of the best movies on record and hearing the best song in the soundtrack on a daily is enough to make the most mundane day delightful.

i encourage you, youtube the song,
get it in your head,
spit spot.

sex in the metropolis

due to an overwhelming amount of winter precipitation, the entire state of oklahoma (at least the portions that are populated) has been snowed in since early tuesday morning. since i am a resident of the sooner state, ive been apartment-bound for the past week. since i am prone to procrastination and definitely not overachievement, instead of studying or doing anything remotely education-related, ive thrown myself into several days of a sex and the city marathon.

its almost embarassing to say how much i love this show. its definitely my guilty pleasure. my girly outlet. and the fact that ive got every disc of every season makes this addiction possible and dangerous. i could and do watch this show for hours. but the thing i really really love is the characters have nearly unlimited time to change and reshape their personalities, lifestyles, clothing choices and love interests; time that you just dont get in a movie. also they get to date suuuuuper sexy men, an extra fifty-six billion points.
warning to those who dont religiously watch the hbo classic: im about to spill the secrets and dissect the decisions of these four single gals.

ive seen carrie transform from an semi-annoying yet mostly witty writer with awful hair and strange clothes into a semi-annoying yet mostly witty writer with better hair and kickass clothes. well, sometimes. some of her outfits look like they were thrown together by a blind, sadistic, gay man. and when it comes to her choice in bed and or life partners, even though aidan is the most perfect man in the world and theyre right for each other in every sense of the word, you cant deny what john james preston has with carrie. im a BIG fan.

ive seen samantha transform from a perpetually single, loud, blonde sexaholic into a perpetually adoring of her se-hexxy boyfriend, cancer-stricken-and-therefore-wig-wearing sexaholic. her best man-candy is for suuure smith jerrod. his abs make me melt and his face makes me go haaaauuughhhhhh

ive seen charlotte blossom from a classically classy, pearl-wearing, soulmate-searching, gallery director into a classically classy, pearl wearing, happily married, mother-to-be. favorite leading man is of course harry. even though hes not the hottest piece of ass char has brought back to park avenue, hes certainly the sweetest.

ive seen miranda transform from a unlovable, neurotic lawyer whose hair makes ugly gingers feel good about themselves into a brooklyn-dwelling, married mother of a ginger baby. when i started watching the show, miranda made my skin crawl and my face contort and my mouth say mean mean things. miraculously, she is now my favorite character on the show. and of course, steve takes the cake and eats the whole thing. i freaking adore steve, minus his imbecile-ish indiscretion in satc the movie.

all in all, i love these girls. i wish i could emulate their fabulousity in my everyday life by wearing couture and strutting down the nyc sidewalk in manolos. i guess ill just have to settle for the runways of norman ok.

as long as i dont slip on the ice..
