I'm Back

Well I haven't done a blog in a while. Sorry about that. But anyway I have a review for you guys! YAY!

I'm reveiwing the new television show, Huge.

Huge is a new show on ABCFamily that's about kids at fat camp. Yes. Fat camp. These are normal teenagers dealing with problems concerning their weight, inner demons, sexuality, trust, what have you. It's different from the other ABCFamily shows in that it's not over the top or far fetched like Secret Life or Make It or Break It. It's real. And it sure as hell hits close to home when I watch it.

I guess that's why I like the show so much. It's relatable. So many teens today go through self image issues and this show really touches on it.

The acting is admittedly eh... It's not great, but it's better than living through an episode of Secret Life. And Nikki Blonsky's just hilarious. Her sarcasm is great. It kind of reminds me of mine.

Well, I give Huge three angsty, over weight teens out of five.

Learning to love: Ke$ha

I'm not one for pop music. In fact, I'm a rather large classic rock fan. But every once in a while there will be that one pop song, that one radio hit, that one party anthem that'll weasel it's way into my ear drums and bore it's way into my cranium and NEVER LEAVE!! And then, there's the radio pop tart artist that manages to fool everyone into thinking she can sing. You know, the girl that puts out a few catchy songs that manages to ninja their way into the hearts of even the most critical of music listeners?

I'm looking at you, Cyrus

Though I've tried as hard as I could to ignore the catchy melodies and head bobbing beats I just can't. It's too poppy. It's too upbeat.

GOD DAMN YOU, KE$HA!!!!!!

Yes, Ke$ha! God, I'm so ashamed. She's the epitome of commercialized, cheap entertainment, but I just can't help having a soft spot for her music. I mean she wakes up in the morning feeling like P.Diddy for Christ's sake. Who else feels like that when they wake up?

what ever, Diddy....

She's just good at making party music. "Don't Stop" had to be played at every party I attended this year. It's just fun to dance to.

So yes, Ke$ha's a total skank whore with no talent, but it's ok to like her songs. Because her songs make people happy. Even if they never leave your brain.

Teavana: A Review of my Favorite Tea Haven

Ah... tea. There's no beverage more relaxing. No beverage more elegant. No beverage more social than tea. I love tea. It's my favorite thing to drink. I often think about all the different kinds of tea there are in the world, their benefits, their tastes, their smells. I thought I was doomed to just stay stuck with knock-off store brand tea bags to satisfy my herbal fixation when I heard of something amazing.

cue choir of angels......NOW!

Teavana is a store literally dedicated to tea. They sell seven different types of tea, each with different flavors and blends. There's one out there for you folks. I assure you.

The tea specialists are friendly and very knowledgable about what they're selling. They offer free samples and demonstrations of their products and if you frequent at their they actually remember who you are (right Joe?).

The place literally looks like you walked into an asian tea shop. It's decorated with different tea pots and tea cups that just make you jealous of the bastards that get to stare at them all day. Seriously, those tea pots remind me that I'm poor by just looking at them. No store has made me feel so depressed and so zhen at the same time.

The tea is definately worth a try though. And those bastards are so good at selling it that you leave the store short fifty-six bucks, with a pound of skinny chai pu-ehr tea in your hands without even realizing what just happened. Speaking which of, I think I'll have a cup.

Dear God, I just tea-gasmed.

Disney Pixar "Your Friend the Rat"

So Disney Pixar put out a dvd collection of short films. When I saw it playing on ABC Family one night I had the normal reaction any true Disney Pixar fan would have.



"HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT THEY MADE A MOVIE!?!?!?!??!!!??!!1111!!!?! Must.Watch.Now!"



So I'm watching it. And It's good. It has classic Pixar shorts I loved and enjoyed as a child. It was a bigger nostalgia bomb than thatguywiththeglasses.com. And then one short caught my attention. "Your Friend the Rat" is a short film Pixar animated featuring two characters from the popular movie Ratatouille. Ok cool. I never watched the movie, but I'm sure this will be pretty good.

Unfortunately, I can't find a video in English of the film. But basically this short makes animal testing look ok. Pixar actually has Remmy list the advantages of testing on rats. I'd just love to see what PETA has to say to this. But other than that disturbing clip, the rest of the movie is pretty good. I recomend it.
