tabloid queen

*falls off her chair laughing*


Right ankle still fucking hurts. Can't figure it out. I don't think I'm sleeping on it, and I haven't been sitting on it. Haven't smacked into anything that I recall...

So. Three more nights of work. My Discman is skipping, so no more Corrs for me. Which is okay because I don't really like whatever track that was.

So. Bought some stuff at work. Jake's birthday card is now bought. Woo. Um, new nail polish, the paper, shampoo, hair dye [$1.20! score. though it was only one box and I require two...], a Halloween card I may never send anyone because I love it so, some Halloween candy pumpkins, and um.. *thinks* a magazine... and some gum. Thrills, I know.

Now. Rant. Do not read if you worship at the altar of either Avril or Ashlee Simpson. Mainly because this ain't worshippy, kay?

While reading my copy of September's Blender I caved and read both articles/interviews on/with Avril & Ashlee. Avril's simply because the pictures were pretty, Ashlee because I was curious.

The fact that I read this damn thing three days ago should tell you nothing good will come of this. Kay. To get this out of the way, the fact that Blender is done by the same classy folks who bring us Maxim does not escape me. I'm aware of it. I personally find Maxim far more interesting because of the various odd comments thrown in, but Blender had Rose in it, so there you go.

So I understand that anytime someone mentions running around nekkid or looking down their shirt and then copping a feel, they're going to run with that quote. The thing that bothers me is that those two things came up in the first place. I'd expect it of the obvious poptarts. I might even find it somehow amusing from Lindsay Lohan and oddly funny from Hilary Duff [the former because I like her and the latter because it would seem so out of character]. But Avril and Ashlee both spend half their interviews blathering on about how they want to be taken seriously and really only want to discuss things important to their music. So how the fuck is AS blathering on about how she's got great tits about her music? No. Really. I wanna know. Or Avril's numerous mentions of how much she drinks and how badly she handles her liquor? At least with Avril you don't have these creepy mentions of her Mom and Dad cheering her on. Ick.

And now for something only briefly related. I'm tired of flipping through these stupid Ashlee Simpson articles and having every one of them say she's got the better voice. ...No. She doesn't. It may not suck, but based on what I've heard Jessica's got the prettier voice. It's just that she's content to sing bland boring crap [though I think I liked some of her earlier stuff] and pretend [or at least say she's pretending sometimes] to be a moron. Wheras her sister seems to attempt to sing something with content. Only I have no idea how true this is since this information comes from the same articles I've already deemed moronic and wrong on more than one level. Soooooooo. Yes. Btw, Pieces of Me is a craptacular song. I wanted to like it for some reason, but no. It's not the second coming of pop. It's just... pop. Vague enough to convince you upon first listen that it's deep, but too vague to actually be deep.

So, throw her on the funeral pyre of pop artists I don't want to hear anything about except that they've suddenly stopped being plastered on every magazine I see.

I'm off to shower, pop some pills and sleep the day away. Love and Shannen Doherty pictures in this week's Star.
