The Bitch is Back!

Oh and also, sorry bitches about the lack in posting lately. You see, I was recently unemployed by my shitty employer. So I had a lot of free time on my hands. So I took up some temp jobs (which wore me the fuck out because I was not used to a real 8 hour work shift after my last shitty job). I took up a diet (which has resulted in about 25 pounds of lost fat and more on the way). I’ve been traveling with the UN’s Farming Fund. We’ve been seeding farms in Botswana and Belize and Bolivia. We’ve only made it up to the B countries. Next month, Colombia. (I’ll be bringing a camera for that trip). I’ve been listening to way too much NPR and especially the Diane Rehm Show. I love Diane! I’ve been watching the HBO miniseries about John Adams starring Paul Gia-whatever-the-hell. Love it! Only up to episode 4 and loving it. That’s going to be a new post no doubt.

And I’ve been reading a lot of books lately. So I think I might follow in Benutty’s steps and offer up some book reviews…well, not so much a review as a book statement. Oh and Benutty I’ve left your Percy Jackson books in my trunk to give you and I keep forgeting. I finished the series and loved it. SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE HIDEOUS MOVIE.

Books that I want to talk about:

  • The Percy Jackson Series (obviously in conjunction with Benutty, since we wanted to read them together as part of our super secret sorry Nick can’t read book club)
  • 52 Loaves
  • Little Bee (about to finish)
  • The $64 Tomato (about to start)
  • The Omnivore’s Dilemma (will start after Tomato)

The Scrammys

Ok, we all agree that the Grammys this year were bullshit. No one believes that Saylor Twift really deserves Album of the Year. And I’m still trying to figure out who the fuck Kings of Leon are — when I Google their name all I get are Twitter feeds about how #gagawasrobbed. Oh, and although I am (and I think I stand alone on this one here at D@2) a fan of Beyonce, I don’t think Single Ladies should have even been nominated for Song of the Year — it should have been Record. Blah.

But the most disappointing part of the whole thing comes in two parts. Part 1: GaGa gets shut out of the Big 3 categories. Part 2: They didn’t even air the categories she did win in! Hello, the only reason anyone watched was to see GaGa’s performance and to check out her outfit while she gave a shout out to her gay fans in her acceptance speech! Frankly, GaGa was treated poorly by the producers of the show and they should all be shot.

Highlights?

Obvi, GaGa’s amazing performance with Elton John. Still a little disappointed that GaGa and Beyonce didn’t perform Telephone together, but it’s crazy that I never thought of putting Elton and GaGa together. It truly was magical, and enlightening to see how clearly Speechless is inspired by Elton’s music. Let’s face it, all these other bitches are fake GaGas trying to wear their faux Haus of GaGa outfits and their space-age rip-off performances (see: Black Eyed Peas backup dancers in red GaGa suits).

Bullshit.

Pink tore it up, too. Loved when she pissed all over the audience.

Doppelgänger Week!

The stream of status updates from my friends on Facebook lately tell me that it’s Doppelgänger Week. Apparently you’re supposed to change your profile pic to a photo of your celebrity look-alike. But since blogs are better than status updates imma skip the whole Facebook part and put the D@2 bloggers on blast!
