I like it down here

And I still like Nicki Minaj.  I don't believe all this silliness with American Idol.

Spent a great day at the beach today and it didn't cost me a dime!  After the past two weeks of running my credit card more than I ever have before I am treasuring days like today when I don't have to use it at all.

And I love living in a place where I can have an amazing day without needing money.  That being said, I'm looking forward to starting my new job this week.  Just have a little more training I have to get through before I can actually start.  I'm excited!

like a dream come true

I woke up this morning still unable to believe that they are going to be doing American Idol together.

I wasn't just dreaming right?!

Ugh I can't wait.  I hope they give each other a lot of suspicious side eyes.  I wonder if they will have to be separated at the judging table so they don't just end up talking to each other the whole time.

omg I love her!!!

She is so cute!!!

Thanks reddit.

I can get on board with this

Thank you Jonathan for sending this to me.

I like, I like.

my feelings exactly

I'm not going to lie, I was disappointed by the VMA's last night.  Mostly because this didn't happen, and was instead replaced by a weird multi-britney dance team.  I could have done with 75% less of the Lady Gaga manologue as well.  Britney's face says it all, although I also really enjoyed their interaction when she had to get on stage to accept her award.

It reminded me a lot of this:



Otherwise, I'm glad Nicki Minaj won because she was just so cute when she got up to the microphone.  She was the only person that seemed genuinely excited to be winning.  I also enjoyed Beyonce rubbing her bump after her song, even if it was a little theatrical.

I guess overall I just woke up this morning with a feeling of sadness that the Britney tribute did not go down as planned.  What a missed opportunity.

I love her

She's just the right mixture of beauty, talent, and crazy.

Which is why this duet is one of my favorite of all time:




the part at 1:40 where mariah "appears" in butterfly fantasy target is the best.  I love the expression on her face.

I am in awe of how comfortable nicki minaj seems with mariah too, or just in general.  She knows how good she is.

finally

This twin bed is not big enough for kitty and me so I find myself awake at 5:00am and not able to get back to sleep.

So in my online cruising I found this website through reddit.

I finally understand what nicki minaj is talking about!  Well kinda.

it was all for Dan

This morning instead of doing any of the other hundreds of things I needed to do, I instead got involved in a three hour project of downloading music videos, watching them, and putting them on my phone. Anybody who has ever made plans with me in new york know that 9 times out of 10 Dan and I get drunk and end up watching music videos until 3 in the morning and then realize that everybody has been trying to call us all night.

So last weekend when Craig started singing En Vogue and then had to pull up a bunch of videos on youtube. It made me question why I didn't have any En Vogue on my phone. This morning I decided, I'm going to download En Vogue music videos. For WHATEVER reason Itunes is really lame and only has a few music videos for each artist. This was the only video they had for En Vogue:

Now I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong, but I was really looking for never gonna get it. Regardless, going to Itunes for the first time in almost a year made me realize that I still had money on my account from some long lost gift card. This is what led to my wasted morning lost in the world of diva's and their music videos.

I have no idea why nobody told me how amazing this video is but I am IN LOVE:

I mean, I was sold right off the bat by the scene of her in bed but it only got better from there. Subtle under the bubbles touching in the bathtub, yes please. 12 year old girl bloomers with a sexy baby tank, more please. Fruity pebbles and sexual inuendo, now that's a first rate video.

I also downloaded some more Mariah, classic Janet Jackson, and some Nicki Minaj. Part of me was glad that she's finally in the mainstream because it means I can download a high def version of her video from itunes, but it also kind of sucks because the edited version of Massive Attack is just ridiculous. I mean, there are giant chunks of time when her lips are moving but you don't hear anything because I guess the whole thing is just one crazy offensive rap. Here is the unedited version, not that you can understand half the things she's saying anyways:

I love her but I kind of wish she was still my little secret, it's not as fun now that everybody knows about her. Still, congrats Nicki.

And Dan, be prepared, we got a lot of videos to go through.
