Cheer up, Sleepy Jean

September, 1987.

My parents picked me up from Sarah’s sleepover birthday party and I was wearing my favorite outfit (yes, I believe that is a lilac button-up jumpsuit, and it was a hand-me-down from my dad’s boss’s daughter) and my awesome watch, and we drove to Six Flags for the first time to go see Weird Al and the Monkees. First concert ever! Also: BEST CONCERT EVER.

And then later that day, after the concert of excruciating perfection, my little brother and I met Alf.

* Um. A cardboard cut-out of Alf. But, still. Weird Al +The Monkees + ALF = the greatest day ever and nothing shall ever top it.

Lady Gaga won! I won! We all won!

I won! Or rather, Lady Gaga won the Greatest Woman in Pop!
This is me with a 102 degree fever and very severe sinus infection and you can pretty much tell. But hooray for ladies with funny voices and funny noises! REPPIN' HARD!

Still reppin' for gaga!

Her Royal Ladyship Ms. Gaga has advanced to round 2 against Brit Brit!
In this video, I'm still repping for Gaga AND I still have a sinus infection! Vote with your heartburn!!

Vote for Lady Gaga! WOO WOO WOO!

Vote now* in VH1's "8 Greatest Women in Pop" bracket thingy!
If you've wondered what it would sound and look like if I had a high fever and a serious sinus infection while repping for Lady Gaga, NOW'S YOUR CHANCE.

* By which I mean: vote for Lady Gaga. Because i lurfs her. And also because if you vote for her, then you'll get to see more of my delirious ranting.

This Week in Zombies

I am continuing to recap The Walking Dead over at Rolling Stone. My main philosophy about the show is: more zombies, please.
