Happy Birthday, LC

As you all know, I lovelovelove Lauren Conrad.  And it's her 26th birthday today!  Happy Birthday, Ms. Laguna.  We're all happy to say we knew you whenish.

Celebrate Lauren's Bday with the opening theme song from The Hills.  The actual opening credits aren't on YouTube, but I did find this slightly stalkerish Lauren-only version.  Awkward.


Also, I'd be remiss not to mention the tragic loss of Mr. Don Cornelius today.  Baby E and I will be watching the three-disc Soul Train DVD special that was my Christmas gift (thank you?) to celebrate the life of this music legend.

PS. I do recall that I used to blog about things that weren't celebrities.  I promise I'll be back to that when I have time to think about anything substantial other than second grade.  

Beware the Ides of March

In honor of the Ides of March, I was going to post the gruesome death scene of a one, Julius Caesar. However, it was a little toooo gruesome. Do you know he was stabbed 23 times?? Rough.

Anyway, Caesar makes me think of Cleopatra which makes me think of Egyptians which makes me think about eyeliner, protests and this awesome MJ video.

In Memoriam...

I have horrible news.

Chuck Bass is dead.

No, not that Chuck Bass.  My fish, Chuck Bass, has taken the long journey to fish heaven.  He was a great pet, and a better friend.  He will be sorely missed at the Chambers. (Also, known as my apartment.)  My favorite thing about Chuck is when he would come right over to the glass and make fishy faces at me while I fed him.  I mean, the logical part of me knows that he was just looking at his own reflection but it really felt like we were connecting.  I guess I'll always have my memories.

Chuck in better days...

I know that some of you are going to take this news hard.  Please know that Chuck was properly honored with a sea burial.  And take solace, like I do, in knowing that Chuck is in a better place.  At times like this I find comfort in the immortal words of the late Tupac Shakur:

Ain't no place I'd rather be, chillin' with homies and family
in a sky-high iced-out paradise in the sky
Ain't no place I'd rather be, only place that's right for me
chromed-out mansion in paradise, in the sky

Here's to you, Chuck Bass, I hope your chromed-out mansion in paradise is all you ever dreamed.
