blogging away the tears



I usually don't have the energy to blog when I return home from work- or to do anything, really- except the other evening, like Cara, I cleaned my room, which made me feel a lot better. and my music library. like colon cleansing. it was cathartic. do you think colon cleansing would be cathartic? do you think it would just be disgusting, painful and unneccessary? have you ever gone to THE COLON CLEANSING BLOG? if you haven't be warned DO NOT GO UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG STOMACH.

thus my blogging in the morning. haiiiiii.

so Adam Lambert came out yesterday and I spent the remainder of my day in total shock. I mean, who's supposed to bear my lovechildren now? nonetheless- I think he's got a sturdy career ahead of him. from what I witnessed of "American Idol" I really liked his style. although Kris Allen's version of "Heartless" (that was a good Kanye album, by the way. "505s and Heartbreak"- I truly enjoyed that) was the shit, let's be honest.

When is "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" on TV??? I NEED to see Janice. will someone please inform me so I can build my day around this one event?

at work, it occurred to me- I haven't made a mix for this summer yet. WHAT THE FUCK. I'll work on it. I need to perfect it before anything and then I'll post it, just for you. only for you. I can't promise all the songs will be downloadable, though. I'll try my best anyway. I'm still jaded at the last mix I made. they never go over well, do they? you think, considering my staggering taste, that's a damn good gift. I sound so egotistical. I don't fucking care.

Cat Power's version of "Wild is the Wind" is pretty weak. and I write this as a devoted Cat Power fan. if you ever have to hear that song, find the Nina Simone spin. sends chills up my spine every time I hear it. It was on the "Revolutionary Road" trailer.

lastly, did you know Au Revoir Simone had a new album come out in April? somehow this passed me by. anyway, I listened to part of it on last.fm (here: http://www.last.fm/music/Au+Revoir+Simone/Still+Night%2C+Still+Light). good stuff! especially that first song. they're a nice little band that I wish I paid more attention to, frankly because I love that name. AU REVOIR SIMONE!

NO DOUBT ON SATURDAY
EXPECT A LENGTHY RECAP
AND A "DRAG ME TO HELL" REVIEW BECAUSE I NEED TO SOMETHING.

love, Brittany (I would like to think my voice leaks through on these entries and you don't need to know it's me but whatever, maybe you have a plate in your head)

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

A new Skinshape LP is on the way as of October 28th! "Nostalgia" promises to delve into the world of motives and motifs. Will Dorey (AKA Skinshape) has described this particular track "High Tide, Storm Rising" as "the main theme song of a movie." And if you have read any of my prior posts, you know I'm a sucker for anything cinematic.  Here's a full look at the Skinshape "Nostalgia" track listing: 01. Theme For Lazarus 02. Better Chances 03. Dreams of Panama 04. Moonlight Walk  05. Albion 06. High Tide, Storm Rising 07. Turn Away 08. Bohanon's Cornucopia 09. Bad Dreams 10. Fish & Chips 11. Dawn I would try to include something about live shows, but the soulful likes of Skinahape simply prefer to record and NOT perform live, which is an interesting choice in today's world.  Once again, "Nostalgia" is out everywhere as of Oct. 28th.
