Divas of the Week: Natural Disasters

After stumbling across this article from January 1st, 2011, I started worrying Y2K style (minus the building a bomb shelter and stocking up on a 3 year supply of canned food, duh because I still have left overs, not to mention I don't even like soup.) It's a time like this, or the 400 ish years surround it, that we have to think about what's really important in life. So here, I face the age old question: should I buy the Apple iPad now? Or wait til the next generation comes out.

Icelandic Volcano Eyjallafjallojokull's drama queen-like behavior is only an indication of what's to come. Other natural disaster are already becoming jealous of all the media attention and are itchy for their 15 minutes of fame. Talk about being famous for being famous...

Is there anything we can do to stop all of this? Mmm, ancient legend seems to point to cat worship. Many years ago I tried this and it did not work mostly because my cat Samantha thinks she is too cool to set aside time for being prayed to. It's not 100% her fault since she spends most of her time trying to make it big as a wall calendar cat model. Although I admire her ambition, this is a huge waste of time considering when asked if Samantha is hot, most cats simply reply “she has a really good personality.”

Dating Jonathan Groff in my Head, and it's Getting Serious...

People across the world are falling head over heels for broadway sexpot Jonathan Groff, best known for his role in Spring Awakening (receiving a Tony for Best Leading Actor in a Musical), In My Life, The Sound of Music but, more importantly, for his role on last night's episode of Glee.

At first it was hard to ignore the firey chemistry between he and co-star Lea Michele, who also performed alongside Groff in Spring Awakening. "There's no way they haven't had sex!" everyone was thinking, "she's definitely not a good enough actress to be faking that."

That is, until wikipedia crushed my heart by confirming Jonathan (yes, we're on a first name basis) is openly gay. Although the thought had crossed my mind, I quickly dismissed it and blamed it on his tight black v-neck but alas... I was right all along.

So the good news is... he doesn't have a girlfriend. This basically means there is still a chance.

Scrabbdiculous

If you thought the Scrabulous-, sorry, Lexulous lawsuit was wack, just wait until you hear this:

According to MSNBC, "Mattel announced plans to release a new version of the popular word game in Britain. That version, to be unveiled in the next few months, will allow celebrity names and other proper nouns to garner points." Luckily, President Barack Obama deemed this illegal in America. The text can be found near the end of the Health Care Reform Bill.

What is and what is not allowed in Scrabble has, and should always be decided by each individual family. For example, we grew up believing; streets we've lived on and names of funny looking family friends are always fair game. How can we throw in celebrities and other proper nouns on top of that? Do we look like animals to you Milton Bradley?!

Not to mention what this will do the dictionary industry! Ruin the economy, why don't you? Who needs this large book of random words when you can get People Magazine for $3.99 at CVS? Reps from Merriam Webster responded, "no comment."

With that I will ask you to sign my petition to allow only celebrity baby names. The enemy will think this is a compromise, but will become angry when they realize they were tricked since all names of celebrities' children are nouns anyway.

THIS is Serious

Which is more serious?

-OR-

Tootsie Pops without the stick (which is obviously the most annoying part) vs. Limited Edition coconut M&Ms ?!?!?!? Both are total game changers...
