Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"I'ma have you naked by the end of this song: Janet Jackson, a victim blamed."

I would read the hell out of that.

re: Pink's performance last night: she's so damn awesome. And that song is guaranteed to make me cry every damn time. I am such a sucker.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Smack My Bitch Up has one of the most undeniable beats/hooks EVER. Proof being that I hate hate hate overly repetitive songs (Usher and JT, I'm looking at y'all) but it doesn't even ping me in that song.

It's pretty catchy! I like the Fatboy Slim remix as well.

I have no doubt that Kanye's race, age and music genre comparative to Taylor Swift's all factor into the hullaballoo.

Really? Huh. I never saw it like that. I just saw Kanye being Kanye.

In the reaction?

Well, most of the reaction I saw was the hilarious meme, so I don't know what you're referring to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If he's a dick to Jay-Z or someone else adult/black/male, it's not even a story. Much less a Whole Thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

then woman-on-woman violence is no joke either

Violence, period. It's not like it had me standing up and cheering, nor would I have if it had been a woman beating a man. Just that it's not a feminist issue, exactly, if it's not...or maybe it's still a feminist issue if it's a woman being beaten--it's just a different issue.

That having been said, it's a great song to hit shit to.

And that having been said, the Usher and JT I like, I really really like. But I don't have an extensive knowledge of either of their repertoires.

Not to confuse it with the JJ/JT debacle, but I think what Kanye did was, as my mother would say, showing his underpinnings outta doors. I think he deserves pretty much all the mocking and censure he gets. He's a cloddish buffoon, and I laugh that he yammered himself out of a Grammy invite. I just don't think that Taylor Swift deserves that much sympathy. She wasn't scarred.

I wish I could click on that Catherine Tate-ish link.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Thanks, Trudy. I love Pink, too. I saw her crazy circus concert in Australia(well, on TV) She is crazy-flexible...it's kind of fascinating. And, by fascinating,I kind of mean porn. Though I'm not usually into other blondes.ETA: Kanye totally acted like a dick, but they reported it like he puked on her then exposed himself, at which point I felt a little bad for him, despite the etiquette fail. When I actually saw it later, I was caught between "What a tool," and "That's it?!"(Not all that unusual for a Piven fan.)

Taylor Lautner's opening monologue on SNL about Kanyegate was pretty funny. [link]

AND he'll be 18 in a matter of weeks!

Taylor Lautner plays opposite Taylor Swift in Valentine's Day. Modern naming fail.

Our wings are not tired.

I've come to learn that Joe has a THING for very tall women of a certain age. His top 3 celebrity crushes are Jane Kaczmarez, Allison Janney, and Felicity Huffman.

He also, it seems, has a crush on Aaron Sorkin and Linwood Boomer, because a lot of the reason we love these women is they've played extremely-well written and verbose characters.
