[Keri Hilson - Knock You Down]

Oh, my, Keri Hilson, you too, are also GREAT! You come seeping into everyone's ipods on The Way I Are and then you go solo. And you've been doing freaking amazingly. Energy your first single, was super good, and thennn Return The Favour which was like awesome, I love that song. You then come up with Turnin' Me On feat. Lil Wayne which is extremely infectious, and a grower at that. Now, on to your fourth single, Knock You Down which is a little weak, but still just as good as your other songs.

In the video, I was kindof confused as to why Kanye West was comfortable doing those touchy scenes. You know, with his heartbreak and all? anh.

Where The Wild Things Are


Have you seen this movie trailer yet? Where The Wild Things Are?! Omg! It looks reallyyy good! I think the movie is based on the book " ", which I remember reading in like Kindergarden - it's a seriously epic book. And the monsters here, too, I'm glad they stay true to their original forms (yay!) and well, the boy here looks absolutely perfect for the role. I didn't even know the children's book was made into a movie. I'm actually totally excited to see this - I hope it comes to my town!

When the thorn bush turns white, that's when I'll come home.

Hmph. Last night, I was talking to my sister during the commercials of "Heroes". This is basically how it went down.
Me: (Sigh) I think I'm gonna buy Twilight.
Tiff: You really want it that much?
Me: (Laughs) Yea, I really like it.
Tiff: Hmm...well, mom already bought it.
Me: What? (Grins) Rh..rh..rreaally?
Tiff: Yeah.
Me: Wh-where is it?
Tiff: It's upstairs in mom's room.
Me: ZOMG! (heads upstairs to mother's room, doesn't find it, goes downstairs) It's not there. I couldn't find it.
Tiff: I'unno. (shrugs)
Me: Mom? Did you buy Twilight?
Mom: Yes. $20 at Costco, can you believe it?
Me: Omg, really? That's expensive... should've went to Wal-Mart. So where is it?
Mom: Oh it's in the car, i forgot to take it out.
Me: Oh okay. Don't return it okay?
Mom: Kay.

So I'm all happy today, until tonight...

Me: Oh, mom! Do you still hve the Twilight movie?
Mom: Oh, no I returned it.

WTF!!!!!!! AFTER I SPECIFALLY ASK HER NOT TO SHE DOES ANYWAY!!!!!

Me: WHAT?! WHY? I told you not to! (yes, I was being a spoiled b*tch)
Mom: Dad said to return it and wait till you can get it cheaper at Blockbuster.
Me: But those are used. The ones they sell used to be the ones you could rent. People take them home, and ruin them! They're so scratchy!
Mom: (shrugs)

UGHHHHH. FINE. I'll just buy my own. In collectors edition. HA.

Twilight is Intoxicating! AHHH!

So you'll never guess what I laid my eyes on yesterday. Twilight. Isn't that the most randomest movie to watch? Especially on March 21 2009? I thought so. But apparently, not everyone thinks the same, seeing as I went to Walmart to buy the movie, and it was sold out. What a suprise, what a drag. But my dad came home, and suprised me with a rented copy of the movie from Blockbuster.

When I first saw the movie, I thought, "Wow. This movie sort of sucks. I mean, I want to like it, but I can't seem to." Well, that thought is LONG GONE. I actually really like that dang movie (but it still sucks in a way). Like, the movie is not so great, but it is also like really good at the same time. It's intricate, so that the first time you see it, it's aight, but then by the second time, it uses its little vampire powers to lure you in. And now, I'm hooked. Like HOOKED, BUDDYY. Gosh, I'm so obsessed with this movie. It almost makes me mad.

Anyway, I just wanted to go through a few parts of the movie for you all a.k.a. ME. Also, this post might contain spoilers! So watch out!

1) When Bella first walks into biology class, she sees that Edward is in that class too. As she's looking at him, she walks by a fan that blows her "scent" towards him, and he smells it, and is so repulsed (er, seems to be). Like, "What is that horrible stench? Ugh! Bella! Wear some deoderant! Gosh, you REEK!!! OMG OMG OMG, YOU SMELL SO BAD. OMG!!" His expression was funny.
Twilight: Bella Smells "Bad" Collage - Half Size Haha! Notice the owl in the background? Trippy...
Twilight: Bella Smells "Bad" Still - Half SizeCheck out this guy, looking at Bella, lol, idky but it makes me laugh!

2) When Edward finally talks to Bella, he's supposed to be all polite and stuff, but instead he just looked and sounded like some foreign kid! OMG! This was the funniest thing ever! "Hello!" is what Edward says below.
First Hello

4) In the movie, when you first see Carlisle (Edward's Dad), he makes this like grand entrance into the hospital room to check up on Bella. Ahahaha, its like the best simplest entrance ever.
Carlisle
Edward's brother, Emmett is a little odd too. Haha, he was just standing there, and then another brother parks the car, and Emmett jumps out and walks off--book in hand--like that was normal.
Emmett

5)Taylor Lautner looks hunkier with long hair. Haha, I laughed alot when I saw him with long hair. He doesnt look too bad in this pic, but in the movie, he looks really bizarre.
Jacob Black

6)Taylor plays Jacob Black in the movie, who is a Quileute Indian/Aboriginal, and in the movie, as he is telling Bella the legend of how the Quileutes descended from werewolves, they show this wonderful scene:
Legends - Wolves YES I'M SURE, THAT BECAUSE THEY DESCENDED FROM WOLVES THAT THEY WORE TRIBAL WOLF HATS.
"Oh wise one, we must show our brotherhood with the wolves by wearing these..."
"Good idea, young Gelar."

Oh cut the crap! The costume peeps did NOT have to put in those hats. But it was funny.
Also, another problem with the legend scene...
Legends - Vamps
*shakes head in disappointment and laughter*

7) Lol! Apparently this guy is thinking about cats. "Doesn't he look like he's thinking about cats?!" -Catherine Hardwicke.
Cat Thoughts

Okay, so this is basically the part where I get too lazy to write little blurbs about each of the photos, so instead all just throw them to here, for your enjoyment! :) All's good!

The Breakup

Alright, now that that's over with, I have two more pics for you that have nothing to do with the story, and don't worry it's almost over! :)

Alice Cullen, err Ashley Greene looks like Coco Rocha. Well, I think so.
Alice Is Coco

And lastly, Eric in the movie, one of Bella's friends who is played by Justin Chon, weirdly resembles Onch or "OnchMovement"(<--Youtube) from the reality TV show "Paris Hilton's My New BFF". Also, don't you find it peculiar that Justin's last name is CHON; the same letters used in ONCH. What's up with that huh? If they're not the same person, they're definitely long lost twin brothers. FO SHO.
Eric

To leave you off with more tastes of Twilight, here is the opening song which I love.
Song: "Full Moon" By The Black Ghosts

[Kanye West - Welcome To Heartbreak]

Kanye. Your the best. Gosh, you are a genius. This is actually one of my favourites off of 808's and Heartbreak. The only thing is: where have I seen this video concept before? Oh that's right! Chairlift's "Evident Utensil" video! Anh, oh well. I'm sure that's not their idea anyway. The video is great, man! :)

[Maria Taylor - Time Lapse Lifeline]

MMM, another yum song song for you, called "Time Lapse Lifeline",perfect timing for spring, eh? eh? Uhh, I actually heard this song a while back, but just kind of forgot about it. And then, I got desperate; I was seriously annoyed of all the songs I listened to. So, I looked it up, and I was like, heck ya.

Uhm, the artist, Maria Taylor, she feels like an old breath of fresh air. Like its still fresh, but I've breathed it before, I've seen it before. I could easily relate her to Regina Spektor (except much less corky), Feist, Cat Power, just to name a few. Also, she looks like that teen Mag, Seventeen--their old editor-in-chief, that alpha kitty person.




1. Maria Taylor 2. AlphaKtty; old Seventeen Mag Editor in Chief; Atoosa

The video for this song, is enjoyable, I really like those cute little dresses they wear, and for some reason I love the part where they're at the poolside, and just lounging and drinking their stolen wine.

The wind picked up, the fire spread.


So guess what? Spring Break's OVER, and I have school tomorrow. YAY. And all I've blogged about was Slumdog Millionaire; what great progress I've made (especially for fash week) wouldn't you agree? Hmmm.

Anyway, I've got a wonderful song for you. Its fairly new (not really though, I lied) uhm, and uhh yea, its just good. I'm sorry, I'm just being a lazy butt crack right now. I don't want to say anything, and my leg is numb; seeing as I'm sitting nearly-Budha style on a small stool at the moment. Yeah (sigh) the song is really schveet, it really caught my attention when I first heard it. At the time, I was readinga book, and this song comes on the TV Radio and I was like ".....WHOA!" I look up. "This..song...is...freaking...good." So I go onto to Youtube, favourite the song, plan to blog about it, instead I read and watch movies, five days later: HERE I AM! And I'm sure you dont give an eff about this story, regardless. But whatever. I don't give an eff about you. There you have it. Great song. And video, lets not forget.

Staring into those dark brown eyes.

Slumdog Review by ~Beeeb

Latika and Jamal. [Slumdog Review by ~Beeeb]


Oh man, Slumdog Millionaire. You can do no wrong. Sigh. Let me just reminisc and absorb the greatness of this movie. ------------
Alright, I'm good. Frigg, this movie was AWESOME. No - more than that. This movie was on FREAKING FIRE! From start to finish: amazing. Like, I have nothing to say, really. Okay, not true. What I was going to say was that it was almost completely different from the novel. Like yeah yeah, they change some things from a book when they make a movie version. But this movie had barely anything realated to the book. And I like it that way. My prediction was right; it was definitely fo-sho-ly based on love. I mean you really cannot argue with that. The characters were changed (sort of) and it was just not what I expected. Regardless, Slumdog Millionaire was GRRREAT! - Kelloggs Frosted Flakes style, my friend.

One more thing; the movie was played awfully loud. Like my ears are now hurting.

Anticipation: SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!!!!!1

3wb
nita and ram

Haha, so I get to see Slumdog Millionaire TODAY and I'm queasily overly EXUBERANT!! I already bought and read the book, and it was like astronomical, like holy sh*t amazing! And I don't, I'm just very excited right now :))))))))).
Deep Breath, Estella. Yeah, that's it. Breathe. Just Breathe.
Oh man, I wanna see Slumdog!!!
And one thing, I don't really get - in the novel, the game show the guy is on is called "Who Will Win A Billion" or 3WB. If its about winning a billion dollars, then why is it called Slumdog MILLIONAIRE. Like, gosh, get it right! Another thing that they probably changed into movie version is the story theme. Like I think the movie is about destiny and love and all that, but the book, let me tell you has like, only HALF of a (long) chapter about love.
P.S. Like I hate to brag (er is this even considered bragging?!) but my sister's friend's second cousin is that girl in the picture above. She is I'm guessing a main character because, well she's on the movie poster cover thing, and well yea, I just know. Uhm, her name is Freida Pinto and she plays Nita, the prostitute, Ram Mohammad Thomas' love. OH MY GOSH I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Anyway, I guess I'll just settle for this remake of some song from the movie from the Pussycat Dolls.


And I'm not gonna rate this song, becasue its not really a music post.
Song - 7/10 (Anh, I did it anyways)
Video - --

Correction: Freida Pinto actually plays Latika, the lost love of Jamal. The stuff I said above was from the book, so yeah. Different.

Photobucket


Heyy, soo some Canadian music for you! :)
This one is by a group called Nikki Awesome & the Royal Society. The video is about her killing some guy who I guess, 'said it was supposed to be'. Or whatever. I freaking love this Nikki Awesome, she's like AWESOME. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this song, like cereally. The cereal you could eat. It is delish. DELISH, my friend. Soo, like have a listen and I hope you like it!

[The Dream - My Love]

The Dream's new single, "My Love ft. Mariah Carey". WOO. Good song, boring video. Just a feew highlights though:
1. His curtains open by themselves. That, or he's so 'rich' that he hires someone to do that for him. Actually, i just realized he's got a remote for that. NEVERMIND! Time - 0: 39
2. There's a grammy award placed super conveniently on top of the Dream's piano, you know, just for inspiration when you need it, right? Time - 0:57
3. Mariah ditched little kids for her love. UH OH. Time - 3:40

[Britney Spears - If You Seek Amy] Video!

Britney_IfUSeekAmy
I've already talked about this song before. You know, the controversial title, blah blah, blah, (not really that OMG anymore, I mean - we get it.) but this time I have the video to back me up.
My critique? Uhm, the usual. The video is what you'd expect for this king of song, dirty, nasty, sexy (er, suppoed to be.) with the news reports, and dancing and choreography and stuff. Uhh, I thought the dancing was little odd, I'm not gonna lie, and I'm gonna guess that the choreography is by Wade Robson? I don't know. Seemed like it. Buuttt, then again, It did seem to go with the whole circus theme? Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, the video takes an unlikely turn of events, that I didn't expect by the last chorus Brit sings. She turns all goody-goody by the end, and faces the paparazzi with cookies, and a smile. But people still want to F.U.C.K her.


P.S. Did you see Amy?

[Kings of Leon - Use Somebody]

Okay, yes. I know this song has been out since last year, but, like, I JUST realized how much I like this song! Ahhh, makes me feel like a New Yorker in Nick and Norah's Playlist (okay, that title; WAY too long). Gosh, this song is really nice. Soothing but chaotic. Weird combo, I know, but it works. Anyway, here's the video:

Happy Square Root Day!

Help, I've been stabbed!

drip. drip. drip. by TiaIsAliveAndWell


Urghh! I've been waiting all last week for the weekend so I could catch up on New York, London, and now MILAN fashion week, and to catch up on a whole bunch of music. So when Friday FINALLY comes, what happens?! I GOTZ NO INTERNET!! WTF, RIGHT?! My dad says to me, "Oh yeah. We won't have any internet till Monday, alright?" I was like, "Are you effing serious?!!?" Anyway, basically I spent my entire weekend watching Paris Hilton's My New BFF, while playing Fashion Polly's (they're dolls) with my friend. So I learnt omething that weekend: NO INTERNET = TORTURE. Well, now its Monday, ethernet's back up, aaand I gotta wait till Friday to do anything now. YAY. Let's just hope it doesn't mess up again, eh?
