I’ve spent all morning putting together my new IKEA furniture, cuz the trade-off for getting cheap cute shit delivered to your 3rd floor apartment is that you’ve gotta assemble it your damn self. 1 big bookcase, 2 dresser drawers, 2 end tables, and a computer desk. I’ve never had a problem drilling, screwing, and sweating the day away but this aint’ quite the format I prefer. Been one hell of a butch morning up in here.
To balance things out with a little fluff, I’ve been watching Top Model: Cycle 5 all morning on MTV. This was my favorite set of girls ever. Tough little smoky-voiced Bre from Harlem. Lisa and her drunk crazy ass. Nik, the earthy creature who should’ve won. I loved Kim, the aloof lesbian who was smart enough to embrace her androgony and let it push her into the final 5. This was the season they introduced Twiggy and Miss J as a judges, which always made good TV watching the British white lady try to mesh with the giant black drag queen. I love how Miss J switches from proper Brit-posh accent and breeding to around-the-way girl from the gutter, depending on whichever outfit he’s ruining. I also love how he seems to think all the girls look up to him the way they do to Tyra and the real judges. Cycle 5 was also the last time I remember thinking Tyra was really beautiful. Now she just seems scary. Does anyone llisten to the America’s Next Top Podcast? A bunch of friends sit around watching the show and trashing Tyra, it’s fun.
I’ve also been pouring myself over YouTube, which is almost as good as regular TV now. I even have my favorite channels. WilliamSledd has somehow pulled me out of my Nation of Hatred (haternation?) and into a land of joy. I hate to love him cuz he’s SO over the top ridiculous but it’s just too much fun to ignore; even The View ladies worship his ass. He is further proof that all you have to do to become famous is get an internet connection and start acting like you’re already a celebrity (I’m looking at you too, Perez). I really wish basketballjosh72 would do more of his e-letters to random celebrities, his letters to Oprah and Brad Pitt cracked me up. Those LoveBitesTV webisodes are cute and so is JayBrannan. His “Body’s A Temple” song is my favorite.
I also have a sexual obsession with supricky06, this struggling actor in L.A. who’s both sexy and fucking funny. There’s also Ian Crossland, who’s sexy but fucking creepy (and stoned). I’ll also cop to my mini-crush on DylanSing; I was thinking dirrty thoughts for a full 4 minutes until I looked at his profile and saw that he’s 14. Now when I watch his vids I have to make sure I’m fully clothed or it just feels wrong.
But Christine @ HappySlip is probably my favorite. Maybe it’s my thing for cute asians (Goil, call me!) but I just love her. She does these hilarious vlog entries about her Filipino parents and relatives, the culture differences between family from their home countries and the children brought up in America. Being a half-breed myself I totally get it, but anyone can enjoy it; the mother character alone is sitcom-ready. Morning Meest! I actually subscribe to her on iTunes but you can catch her on YouTube too. Christine, let’s be friends mmkay? I love you. You, me, Jamba Juice, maybe a funny video. We can work it out later.
In an ironic twist, I seem to have attracted a whole new world of web-followers. I did the Master Cleanse Lemonade Diet last month and kept a daily vlog about it, just cuz there didn’t seem to be any “insider” resources about the diet and I figured the vids would help people. OK, not really. I just did them so I could keep track of any weight I was losing, but whatever. I created a blog about the cleanse and amazingly, I’ve gotten over 200 emails and messages from fat people everywhere inspired by my vids and excited to start starving themselves. Lovely! Attention from all avenues is welcome and encouraged.
Going to see Legally Blonde: the Musical tonight. Yes, they turned it into a Broadway play. I didn’t like the movie when I first saw it, I thought Reese Witherspoon was doing a bad copy of Alicia Silverstone in Clueless. But the movie was on early today and I watched it again, it’s actually pretty cute. I’ll let you know how the play is, I have this feeling it’s gonna be Hairspray-like funny. I’m going with an adorable Asian boy as my date. No it’s not Goil but hopefully that’ll happen soon. I’m serious about this shit, spicy little Goil is destined to be mine.
Check out those links to my YouTube favorites and tell them LittleBigChris sent you. I have some favorites on XTube, too, but that’s a whole other side of addiction I’m not ready to share. See ya later, decorators!
