I wish the Magnetic Fields could play my wedding. This song would be my first dance. It’s just right.

But this you have to see to believe. Watch the video and you will know Britney's a genius.

•

And again.

•

Example of her excessive vocal fry. That’s that weird croaky thing she does that is so characteristically Britney.

•

Britney Spears is a linguistc phenomenon. I knew there was a reason for my unconditional Britney love!

Barry O’s coming to Asheville again! Let’s buy him a Cesspool of Sin shirt!

You know what that means- they’re gonna buy a home and move to Asheville and one day I’ll be shopping at Minx when Michelle will come in to help Malia pick out a dress to wear on a date. And Michelle and I will exchange the hello of two people whose very different lives keep bringing them to the same place at the same time.

Actually, I do have it from two reliable sources that the Obamas are seriously considering moving here post-presidency. Also, since Barack’s my cosmic friend, I know what he’s thinking without even asking. Sadly, I probably won’t be running into him this time as I have to go to Yancey County for work. But who knows, maybe he’ll show up to my yoga class!

LET’S GO CRAZY

I will never not love Prince. A boy I loved when I was 19 told me that he saw a documentary on Prince and that elevator was a metaphor for the devil. This boy was also from rural South Georgia and was vegetarian, and since I had a crush on him at 19 and he had those characteristics, I find him to be a reliable source of information. Don’t let the elevator get you down!

Oy vey, enough Lady Gaga!

I listen exclusively to pop radio on my commute because apparently I have the musical taste of a 12 year old, but whatever, I will always love Britney. Lady Gaga though? Enough! Enough pandering, enough theatrics, enough! I listen to pop stations out of North Carolina, South Carolina and sometimes even Georgia and Lady Gaga markets her country song “You and I” (I don’t include the unnecessary umlaut) to each state, which I find offensive, mostly because I don’t like the song, but also I feel like one state is enough. I get to hear her singing to men in all three states if I don’t change the station fast enough. It’s not Sweet Home fill in the blank state. John Denver didn’t sing about majestic river valleys in all states. Katy Perry doesn’t sing about Arkansas girls. I suppose Gaga even has a version for DC and Puerto Rico, especially since she pays such close attention to underrepresented peoples. Radio, can’t you just play her fun dance music, like Bad Romance and Poker Face? And that’s my daily rant.

I like this picture. I don’t really care about anyone who’s in it, I just think it’s fun.

Katey Red

Apparently the dance move that I always called the booty shake is now getting really big. Also, it’s from New Orleans and it’s called ‘Bounce’. Except that I remember this dance from way back when I was thirteen and attending boarding school in rural Georgia. Kids would do it in such unexpected places as 8th grade math class, in front of the dorms at my Christian boarding school, the bus, boy’s crotches, etc. I tried so hard to learn it (much like my attempts at learning an earlier bounce, the Bankhead Bounce) and I really only got good at one lesser version of it. And now apparently it’s the new hotness. Whatever, to me I will always associate with a place that reminds me of hellfire and brimstone old women, cabbage farms, and school uniforms.

Today I saw Midnight in Paris and it contained lots of good lines

It’s basically about a guy who gets to go back in time and hang out with famous artists and writers who are presented as caricatures of themselves. For example, when the protagonist meets Dali, Dali says that he will paint him. Dali describes the painting he will make and it will have the protagonist’s sad eyes and his lips melting over the desert and he will have one tear and in that tear is another face, a Christ and a rhinoceros. Hearted a million times over.

Very interesting…
