Happy Holidays

Hi, dear readers,

I'm off to San Angelo to celebrate Christmas with my family, so I'll be out of pocket for a few days. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday.

Samantha James -- Check Her Out

I really like the ChillGroove sounds of Samantha James's album, Rise. Check out the video for "Angel Love." It's the perfect sound for your Sunday morning hangovers.

I Hate (To Admit) This Part

I hate to admit this, but The Pussycat Dolls have a new song out, "I Hate This Part," that I'm really digging. I'm hearing it a lot, so it won't be long before it's overplayed. But I'm going to enjoy it while it still sounds fresh.

I also heard a Dave Aude remix of the song driving in to work this morning that I really liked. Both versions are great; the original is a nice uptempo ballad, and the remix is a great club thumper. Hopefully Wacky will be providing us with free downloads soon (hint, hint).

Check out the video, coz it brings the LOLZ. My favorite giggle moment comes when Nicole Schadenfreude or whatever that last name of hers is "plays" the piano. YEAH, RIGHT! Otherwise, it's actually kind of a pretty video. Enjoy.



Here's a remix video featuring the Dave Aude mix:

Sarah Palin 2012

I saw a Sarah Palin 2012 bumper sticker on my drive home yesterday. My only thought was, "Already?" Let's at least get Mr. O. in office for a couple of days before we start running the next campaign.

Anywho, I was searching for Palin 2012 bumper stickers and found a lot of great merchandise off Cafe Press.

Here's my favorite (Merry Christmas, T!!):


Check out Cafe Press's other great Palin merchandise. I don't quite get the intern theme, unless it's just a Clinton/intern reference.

PS: I can imagine that the Palin the Riveter line is particularly offensive to many feminists (and basically all people who still believe women should have some rights).

True Blood = True Love

As I mentioned earlier, after Hurricane Ike, we went without cable for something like 35 days. It was quite miserable, especially because I knew new fall shows were starting, and I was missing out. Oh the humanity!

Anyway, I'm just now catching up, and I watched two episodes of "True Blood" last night. WOW. It's so fun, it's so sexy, it's so scary. I love it. Alan Ball is the genious creator/writer, and he brought us "American Beauty" and "Six Feet Under." I've been waiting for this show since I first heard about years ago.

But, for some reason, critics aren't loving it so much, and I don't know why. It's all I can do to sit here at work right now and not call in sick so I can stay home and finish the whole season. Thankfully, it has been renewed for a second season.

Please remember, if you watched the show, I'm only up to episode three. Don't spoil the fun (this means you, TRICIA!!).

If you're not watching, you should. Who doesn't love slow drawling Southern Gothic dramas about hot, sexy vampires? And one more thing, if you're not watching, you're missing out on this guy, Ryan Kwanten:



Makes you want to get the DVDs, doesn't it?

I Am . . . The Pink Armageddon

I'm back bitches!! **throws arm in the air Broadway-diva style**

The Pink Armageddon needed a break. I was not inspired to post anything, I was held up by trying to be important or clever or even interesting. I'm lazy and a procrastinator by nature. So sue me.

I was just thinking about my original intent -- to not offer anything "new, entertaining, or of merit." So that is where I will return. This is my Back to Basics post. From this point on, I will not try to post long, important diatribes on politics (for that, see Some Guys Are Normal, please). I'm just going to post quick snippets of pop culture-y things. YouTube videos that I enjoy. Or about some song I stole from Wacky on The Junk that I'm crushing on at the moment.

Consider The Pink Armageddon as no more nutritious than any ol' issue of US Weekly or an episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta (gawd I loved that show).

If any of you, my dear readers, are still out there, thank you for sticking with me. I'm back and as unimportant as ever. And I'm doing this for you, my fans, because you keep me grounded.

So, what's happened since my pre-Hurrican Ike post on September 9? Here's a quick list in no order, chronological, importance, or otherwise:

Madonna came to town, and held court at a baseball stadium. Queens were everywhere.

Hurricane Ike also came to town, and he ruined our carpet and stole cable from us for over a month. As God is my witness, as God is my witness, I'll never not have cable again - no, nor any of my folks! If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill, as God is my witness, I'll never not have cable again.

I saw "Rachel Getting Married," and I was sad for about a day. WOW what a movie and what a bunch of amazing performances.

Ditto for "Milk" -- Sean Penn needs that Oscar again.

Dexter Season Three has just catapulted the show into Six Feet Under/Sopranos status of greatness.

Obama brought hope back to the US. That election made me proud to be an American (for real, and I know it sounds "important," but this one can't go without mention).

I saw Dame Edna AND Madame in concert. Dame Edna was amazingly funny, but I may have been the only one laughing.

Beyonce pretended to be some girl named Sasha, and when T's not looking, I pretend to be Beyonce. Can "Single Ladies" and "If I Were A Boy" be any better? And the videos? If those videos can't bring the medium back, artists need to stop worrying about making them. WOW, great songs and great videos.

Rosie O'Donnell couldn't get her variety show off the ground. It's too sad, because I live for that crazy Rosie. She makes me happy. Again, I may be the only one on that, too.

"Kath & Kim" premiered on NBC and has quickly become my new favorite camp TV show. If you decide you can only watch one episode, go to NBC.com and watch the one called, "Gay." Thank you Whitney Houston and cable ladies.

Why don't you tell me what you've been up to since September 9?

I leave you with this. Expect more of these and less content. Come here when you need to find out what I think is fierce or funny. That's all I've got for you.
