Back home

television’s corruption

2/03/2004

first off…HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!! you don’t read this, but still…

..and go..

i love me some tv. so tina’s in my room (uninvited, btw) and we’re watching VH1′s Illest Minority Moments… then William Hung (she bangs! she bangs!) starts singing. Tina looks at me and says “… you know…. ::hesitate:: he’s actually not that bad…” LOL!!! he can hold a note like janet and britney. i guess that’s all you need in this industry anymore. just push the magic pop button in the studio and she bangs! she bangs! then they got the boy singing “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” knowing he can’t pronounce half the words in the song. the one clip of that 4 minute song that they show is when he sings “… it’s enough to make kings and vagabonds…” but of course, mr. hung , accent and all, it sounds more like “it’s enavvvv to make kings and WAGAbonz…”. oh, i was dying.

back to illest minority moments…

so they did this segment on the characters of sesame street, where they all had ethnicities. apparently, bert is puerto rican and ernie (short for ernesto) is dominican, animal is mexican, and big bird? a vietnamese drag queen. i almost fell on the floor i was laughing so hard. those are the only 4 characters they did, so help me break down the rest:

grover: the new drug dealer who keeps smoking his own weed, that’s why he’s so paranoid
cookie monster: pimpin’ black man. by “gimme that cookie”, he ain’ t talking about baked goodies.
the count: ?
mr. snuffleupagus:?
oscar: angry jewish man
elmo: gay asian boy
telly : persian

what you think?

who’s going to see prince at the staples center on march 29th? yeah, that’s me. and who has floor seats? that would be me, again. who’s broke as hell because she had to spend $170 or two tickets? yeah.. that’s me, too. but that’s okay. it’s Prince!!! so it’s okay. i got my presale tickets, and i heard that his tickets on ticketmaster sold out in 10 minutes, so i’m a lucky duck. they even added a second LA show in May, and that’s almost sold out.

anywho. i love me some prince.

big ups to anthony and joyce for hosting a most fantastic oscar party. it was fantabulous. love y’all.

chris (little bro), sorry for not eating out with you this weekend. it’s been busy.

tina, thanks in advance for picking up those musiq tickets for me :) can you get those today? box office is open from ten to five :) thx. lol
