This week in randomness - Just bought tickets to see Billy Elliot in SF for July. I absolutely loooved this show when I saw it last year in NYC - it was a tearful, joyous, uplifting, awe-inspiring, and magical experience. I cannot wait to relive it in my home city. Told you it's going to be an amazing summer...I got the Tom McRae "The Streelight Collection" in the mail today. The guy's cynical as heck and he cannot stand Madonna (via his Twitter rants), but he is a brilliant songwriter and singer and actually quite funny live. I asked him via Twitter to sign the cd for me, but he forgot to do it before the cd got sent out, so he made it up by sending me an autographed photo instead. Nice...Who did I think looked pretty at the SAG awards? Hailee Steinfeld of True Grit and Rosario Dawson. I loved Hallee's adorable youthfulness and Rosario's effortless cool and sexiness, neither of which you can buy from a stylist...So, Ryan Murphy apparently publicly threw a hissy fit and said "F**k you" to Kings of Leon just because the band said it would never let Glee use one of their songs. Wow, is it that inconceivable to Ryan Murphy that there are people out there who aren't tripping over themselves to be on his show? Seriously, anybody who made Eat Pray Love should never get too cocky...Kelly Osborne is the new Material Girl for Madonna and Lourdes' clothing line. WTF? First Taylor Momsen and now, Kelly Osborne? Madonna used to be cool, right? Like elite, uber-cool. She hanged with the likes of Basquiat, Haring, Ritts, Meisel and Gaultier. She should have dismissed Momsen and Osborne with a slight wave of a hand. I blame it on Lourdes the tween. Actually why not Hailee Steinfeld?...
A better casting choice - Henry Caville has been cast as the new Superman...My division at work had a holiday party this week. Yup, a month late. We even had a Yankee Swap. What the heck is a Yankee Swap, you ask? I myself thought it sounded rather dirrrty. But as it turns out, it's just another name for Secret Santa, or White Elephant. Why is it called Yankee Swap? Well, the Yankee Swap supposedly derived its name from the Civil War days. It seems that the Yankees and the Confederates at some point swapped prisoners as a sort of game to lighten up the atmosphere, hence the name
“Yankee Swap.” Yeah, ok...Speaking of the mysterious origins, somebody asked me why Asian people are yellow, and Native Americans are red. I said it's the skin tone. But upon further pondering - does that even make sense? Do I really have Big Bird's skin coloring? Hmm, gotta research and figure this out...The four cds I am most looking forward to in the coming months are: James Blake, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn and John, and The Streets...Oh, the result of the Yankee Swap is that I got a gift card from Target. You cannot believe some of the cheapskates we have. Somebody gifted a flashlight that had our agency's logo on it. Another person brought a free Costco cookbook. But I think the worst of all is a
used Phil Collins Tarzan soundtrack cd. WTF?...It's Chinese New Year's - the Year of the Hare. My horoscope says I will have plenty of promotion opportunities at work (meh) but I will be faced with "villain intrusion." That sounds heck of exciting. I am going to have a nemesis? Just like Batman has his Joker and Riddler and Tom Hardy? Way cool. For my love life, it says I should initiate early to find a partner and end my single status. Hmm, did my mother hack my internet?
