montgomery clift

one of my favorite actors, montgomery clift, had a birthday last week, and HERE is a memorial blog post. pause, reflect, respect.

glee

glee was on again last night! wahoooooo! it was an excellent episode, i've edited the above video clip to capture Sue's Corner for you.

in other glee news, madonna has agreed to allow her songs to be used in an upcoming all madonna episode. adam lambert is in talks to cameo, aaaand jonathan groff, lea michele's costar from their hit brodway musical Spring Awakening (which i saw with starla and delta!) is signed on to appear in a story arc as the lead male singer in rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline. love interest! one more tidbit, Joss Whedon, producer of cult classic tv like buffy the vampire slayer, dollhouse, and firefly is set to direct an episode.

keep watching. its only getting better.

shared experience

if, like me, you are lucky enough to own sister act 2: back in the habit on vhs, and you, like me, have 2 hours to kill, then pop that bitch in!

its time to watch sister act 2 together. you won't believe the inner city hijinks sister mary clarence (nee delores van cartier) will find herself in this time. starring the incomparable whoopi goldberg, kathy najimy, and the starmaking turn of lauryn hill!

when did starla go to wales?

this "knickerless girl" is now the poster child for the UK's attempt to reign in binge drinking among british...ahem, ladies. i don't know what everyone is so upset about. if you ask me, she looks like she's having a good time. (the sun)

rapey republicans

just saw this story on rachel maddow, which made this link that g.animalz sent me make a lot more sense.

how original

microsoft opens its first apple store

this seems counterintuitive.

you can't be f-in' people in the a, and say you're gangsta.

tricky the coyote

this charming pup was named tricky by the animal rescue people that put him in jail.

he was run over by a couple driving through the woods. they didnt stop because they have h8 in their hearts and assumed the coyote they ran over was dead. little did they know he was uninjured and stuck in their engine.

he later escaped from jail. tricky.

remember that florida-arkansas game?

the one where arkansas was going to beat florida until the refs made a series of questionable calls late in the 4th quarter, essentially enabling florida to come back and win?

well, those refs got suspended. for CHEATING!

"The Southeastern Conference has suspended officials from last weekend's Arkansas-Florida game after the crew was involved in its second controversial call of the year.
Referee Marc Curles' crew called a personal foul on Arkansas defensive lineman Malcolm Sheppard in the fourth quarter as the Gators were rallying for a 23-20 victory. The league said there was no video evidence to support the call.
The same group of officials called the LSU-Georgia game earlier this month, which included a late unsportsmanlike conduct penalty the league said shouldn't have been called." (via)
