Holy crap, TQC! I might have won $1,000 in McDonald's Monopoly! [I have until Dec. to claim it.]
It would be two grand, but I'm splitting the prize with a friend because I have the piece he needed -- St. Charles Place! I only say I "might" have won because he is at work and hasn't called me back yet, and I don't want to just declare myself a winner until I physically see the other two pieces!
What would you do if $1000 just fell into your lap?
I'll probably use my share for serious stuff, but I wish I could take a small vacation!

1. Our school has a policy that everyone needs to go to an exchange program somewhere through our studies. My first choices to go would be Singapore or Quebec Montreal (brainfart, sorry). Can you pimp my some place you think would be interesting to live about a year, and why? Anything goes, since I'm just pondering about choices now. (And I'm not American, so USA is foreign territory to me too.)
2. Are you missing someone right now? Who?
Yes. My fwb.

In late January of 2003, a group of American and European activists calling themselves The Human Shield traveled to Baghdad in an act of protest against the impending US led invasion lof Iraq. By putting themselves in harm's way their intention was to deter bombing campaigns against populated areas by coalition forces. The opportunity was siezed upon by the Iraqi Government, and touted as proof of the war's illegitmacy,. Many of the activists were subjected to criminal charges, and fines upon returning to their home countries.
In your opinion, was this a noble effort to draw attention to the human cost of war, or a bunch of useful idiots whose naivity caused more harm than good?

| Tonight is an all new Hip Hop Invasion! |
[11 Nov 2009|10:26am] |
I caught last Wednesday's Hip Hop invasion series on Fuse and loved the specials they showed on Tupac and Lil Wayne. Tonight's specials feature Jay-Z, 50 Cent , Kanye, Eminem, Young Jeezy, and more! Starting at 7pm ET is "Hip Hop Shop" hosted by music and pop culture insider Toure’. The show provides a weekly dose of urban flavor, featuring music videos and interviews from the hottest celebrities and musicians.
Up after that is two episodes of "BEEF" featuring Young Jeezy and Chamillionaire. Click on the SOURCE below for more!
What I'm really looking forward to is "THE 20 HOTTEST HIP HOP VIDEOS" starting at 10pm. The videos will be presented according to overall popularity, record sales, and strength of the artist featuring videos from LIL’ WAYNE, LUDACRIS, EMINEM, JAY-Z, 50 CENT, KANYE, + more!
The best part is WE get to CHOOSE which video takes the top spot. My vote is for Biggie Smalls, but Eminem appears to be taking the lead! Check out the lineup and vote HERE

| TV Ratings Tuesday |
[11 Nov 2009|11:13am] |
Or, How Did "V" Do Last Night?
ABC’s V dropped 29% To A 3.7 adults 18-49 rating on Tuesday night.
As it has been this fall, CBS stayed atop the average ratings on Tuesday night with an overall 3.5 adults 18-49 rating, stretching its lead over ABC by a tenth of a point from last week as its shows held mostly steady. NCIS was down 2% to a 4.2 adults 18-49 rating. NCIS:LA was up 3% to a 3.7 rating and The Good Wife was flat, tieing its lowest series rating.
Even as V was sinking, buoyed by a Susan Boyle guest visit, Dancing With The Stars was up 10% from last week to a 3.4 rating. And an In the Spotlight with Robin Roberts special tallied a 2.4 rating, 26% better than last week’s results for the forgotten.
Winning the 9pm hour, NBC’s Biggest Loser was up 6% overall from last week to a 3.7 rating. And Tuesday’s continue to be The Jay Leno Show’s best night as it tallied a 1.9 rating, down 5% from last week.

I watched V last night, but tbh I was a little disappointed in the episode. I even forgot it was on until about 15 minutes into the hour. What did you watch, ONTD?

| Smallville TV Movie Takes Flight! |
[11 Nov 2009|11:45am] |
I’ve got some big news for all my Super friends out there.
I’m hearing The CW has decided to package Smallville’s upcoming (and highly-anticipated) Justice Society-themed two-parter into a two-hour movie event airing on Jan. 29.
The Geoff Johns-penned episodes — titled “Society” and “Legends” and featuring such DC Comics stalwarts as Stargirl, Hawkman, and Dr. Fate — were originally designed to air separately. But, according to Smallville insiders, CW execs felt they could get more mileage out of combining them.
I tend do agree. Do you? Sound off in the comments!
Oh, and if you thought this scoop was super, just wait. There’s another (even bigger) Smallville-related treat coming your way later today.

| Dane Cook is delusional |
[11 Nov 2009|08:33am] |
Dane Cook Wants To Play The Riddler In 'Batman 3' Just yesterday we revealed the results of last week's "Batman 3" poll, in which readers named The Riddler the villain they'd most like to see in the next installment of the Batman movie franchise. Now comes word from actor/comedian Dane Cook that Batman's question-marked nemesis is exactly the comic book character he'd like to play, given the chance.
"I love the new Dark Knight series and 'Batman Begins,'" Cook told MTV News when asked if there were any comic book movie characters he has his eye on. "If they brought back The Riddler—a new Riddler the way they did with The Joker—that would be bad-ass. I would do that." "When they were making the new one and they were doing The Joker, I always thought it [should be] kind of like 'The Crow'—having that dark element but still comedic," said Cook of the type of Riddler he'd like to bring to the franchise. "It would probably have to be something in that vein, even though I think what Heath Ledger did with the Joker was the greatest comic book villain ever." That being the case, Cook said there have been a few other comic book movies he's been interested in—but has yet to go after. "There's a couple I was really interested in, but with this year being a touring year I never had a chance to go in and talk about it," he said. "That would be the ultimate—that or a sci-fi movie. 'Star Wars' and stuff like that I grew up watching—anything sci-fi or comic book related would be... that would be it. I could retire after that."

long time no scan! this book is for my drawing class. i may be majoring in fibre arts but drawing + knowledge is my favourite class. in homage to it being cancelled this week [prof's got the flu], i've decided to share what i've got thus far. i scanned so hard the lid popped off [no joke!]
i really like working in a larger format [9x12 i think?] - i've modified the pages more or less by adding in, taping in tabs and flaps and foldout pages. a pop-up book would be OWESOME and i think i'll work on that next.
( + cut for your pleasure + )
as always, new friends are more than welcome!

do you prefer cold weather or hot weather?
tea or coffee?
what's your favorite colour?
now, for those of you that have stretched your lobes and/or downsized:
i stretched my first holes up to a 0g over a year and a half. about two months ago i downsized to 2g, then a couple of weeks ago to 4g. I want to close them up completely, to either an 18g or 20g, but i cannot for the life of me find any of my old, smaller tapers and plugs. would the holes close up normally and evenly if i just took out my 4g plugs and left my lobes alone?

| Rihanna spends $50K/Glamour Awards red carpet video |
[11 Nov 2009|10:23am] |
Rihanna spent more than $50,000 to fly her family to New York to celebrate her Glamour Award as a thank-you for supporting her through tough times.
She flew in her mom, Monica Fenty, plus her brothers and aunts from her native Barbados to watch her pick up the Woman of the Year Award in an emotional ceremony at Carnegie Hall Monday night.
Afterward, the songbird introduced them to Iman, Serena Williams, Tyra Banks and fashion designer Stella McCartney.
Rihanna said during her tearful acceptance speech, "I really look up to my gran and my mom. They are my two women of the year . . . Without their unconditional love and guidance, I wouldn't be here."

| "Bad Romance" Music Video Press Reviews |
[11 Nov 2009|09:48am] |
Entertainment Weekly: "This video is AHHHHHMAZING. There are more wardrobe changes than a Mariah Carey-episode of Cribs. The choreography incorporates elements of “Thriller” and the Twist. And I don’t think Gaga has ever looked prettier than in the close-ups where she’s more stripped down. On the flip side, I love those crazy dilated pupils she sports for much of the video."
E!: "In the past, we've found her relentless ploys for attention pretty exhausting, but this music video really makes us appreciate everything Gaga actually brings to pop music. She's exciting to watch, plain and simple. Sure, her theatrics might cause a few eye-rolls, and she definitely isn't breaking any pop music conventions, but while Britney's out there making the same old boring video, we need someone like Gaga to really bring it. To put actual thought and care into her product so that it feels alive."
MTV: "So what's so great about this video? Well, of course there's the costuming and the choreography, the sly nods to Anubis Airlines from "True Blood", but aside from that, there are the scenes where we get to see the real Gaga: stripped of her makeup (and her clothes), she sings directly to the camera, a single tear trickling down her face. It's a disarming moment, a glimpse at the woman shed of her outer layers … a Gaga we rarely get to see."
Rolling Stone: "Just one album into her career, Lady Gaga has established herself as someone impervious to predictions — especially in the music video department. And the video for her first Fame Monster single, "Bad Romance," has Gaga providing fans with perhaps her craziest, brightest canvas yet. A collaboration between director Frances Lawrence and the Haus of Gaga "Bad Romance" finds Gaga simultaneously paying homage visually to Kubrick and lyrically to Hitchcock, all while dressed in some of the most outrageous outfits she’s ever worn (and that’s saying a lot)."
