"EVERYBODY Wins!" -Ms. Benton

Anne rockin' out on my b-day.

Watching Britney on GMA...*

... makes me miss watching Britney on MMC.

NAILED IT. Well done everyone.

*Alternatives working titles to this post:

1. "It's official: The world has ended. Because that is exactly how Britney is dancing right now."

2. Something clever- not too clever, but just clever enough about "er'body getting raptured/Britney being left behind..."

3. "The Good, the Bad and the Britney"- a title that actually rocked it SO hard I decided to save it for volume one of my autobiography in four parts entitled M: The Quadrilogy: An Autobiography in Four Parts: Part I: The Good, the Bad and the Britney.

None quite spectaculaTRON (aside from #3), but you get the idea. Hence the asterisk. This is why we asterisk. Because we are not spectaculaTRON.

So The One On The Lefts Says...

"So this one time, while living in Iraq, I was talking with my roommate and mid-sentence she casual points and says, 'ummm... I think you need to go to the bathroom.' "

Well done everyone.

She also read the poem after the jump.

A Decade Of Discovery

Can you believe ten years ago last week? J'adore to the max. In terms of musical influence, this album is up there with Back to Black, Room for Squares, Tragic Kingdom, Two Lefts and that Cooler Kids' album from aught-three that came out of nowhere and kicked me repeatedly for 15 months. All biggies for me. My gift to you? The entire album set to anime as it was originally intended after the jump. Totally worth the 64 minutes.

From Like A Week Ago

So I'm on a boat. But not like the song. Or like Miley that one time at the VMA’s (ughlhlhlhl).
