Donald Glover + techno beats + a car and a girl = dance-y fun
Celebrité: Britney’s Pepsi Commercial
Can we take a moment to relive the EPIC amazingness of this Britney Spears Pepsi commercial from back in the day. This may be my favorite commercial of all time. No joke. The song sounds just like her pop music, there’s dancing and costume changes, and beverages are being shared! What’s not to love?
Celebrité: Female celebrities with beards
Katy Perry looks like a really fun man. The kind that will buy all kinds of red bull shot/drinks and dance on the floor with you to pop music for hours.
Forever Young: Donna Summer
Funky disco queen!!!!!!!
RIP Donna
Donna Summer “Love to Love You Baby”
Fashion: Henry Holland for Le Specs
Henry Holland for Le Specs over at Nylon Mexico (practice your foreign language of choice by reading fashion mags, because it’s dun AND beneficial! Plus I like to imagine lots of really hip girls struttin’ around Mexico City).
AH-MA-ZING.

When discs-at-home Netflix is a waste of money
I love me some Netflix. Fo’real. Granted, it used to be a lot better, like when they had an account with Starz and their CEO, or whoever runs the show over there, didn’t fuck everything up yet. (Qwikster… YIKES, dude. Seriously? A ‘w’?)
But I am SO BAD with keeping up with my queue. By the time the movie I wanted gets here, which is like a week later when I finally decide to return the movie I haven’t watched but want to get rid of, I’m uninterested. It’s a sick game.
You really have to be in the right mood to watch a certain movie. If I wanted to chill and watch something funny but instead had a Nazi war crime film, it might be really difficult to get back to the person I was when I ordered that movie. This modern world moves at such a fast pace, that I can barely pass my ample part-time gal free time watching something I recently wanted to see.
Is the internet too entertaining? Definitely. Should I feel bad that I waste $10 a month on maybe watching A movie? Probably. But there are always those surprising fits of energy when you sync up with your queue. It’s fucking beautiful. You’re excited to see the red envelope in the mail. You rip it open. GAHHH it’s your first Clarissa Explains It All disc! Success! Or you’re in a depressive, destructive mood and just want to watch something so horrible like The Diary of Anne Frank (Yeah, there are a lot of movies about Nazi Germany).
All I know is, it’s kind of nice to have this non-problem problem. It’s like those sit coms from the 50s, where there were no actual problems that weren’t super harmless, like a dog eating homework or Ritchie forgetting to cut the grass before the Sock Hop. If this post was more like a modern day actual problem, it would probably go like Meth: The benefits they’re not telling you. Not gonna lie, I’d totally read that blog. Meth + blogging is probably going to be the next big thing. (Or has it already happened?) Although I don’t know what people on meth are like. Blogging may be out of reach.
Listen: “Blue Monday” by New Order
This is a perfect perfect PERFECT SONG.
Listen: New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle”
This is one of those songs that you know you’ve heard, but can’t place where from. Probably from everything. Movies, stoned kids’ basement, a particularly hip store. Take a listen to a great song, and my latest wish-I-had-an-ipod-hookup-in-my-car-god-dammit track.
PS: Try a New Order Pandora station. HOLY SHIT.
“Bizarre Love Triangle” by New Order
It 80s-ly reminded me of the song “Pop! Goes My Heart” from the Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant movie Music and Lyrics. Now I see they are nothing alike, but in my head they were way more similar. I totally like that movie. There’s nothing super SUPER great about it, but it feels fresher than your run of the mill romantic comedy. Plus there is pop music everywhere, and the soundtrack has some originals that are baller too.
Don’t you wish this was your life: Beyoncé edition
I want to be her. The images of Beyonce at the beach make me happy, in the sort of “you’re really rich, talented, famous, beautiful and successful, and I bet that drags you down a lot. I’m so glad you’re on yachts in the ocean with wifi, your sister, and a personal chef.”
It’s really cool to look through all her photos, because they aren’t just paparazzi shots. Paparazzi shots have a double dose of wicked behind them. You see Beyoncé at a basketball game in a magazine or blog, but seeing similar photos on her own blog puts a personal effect to it. Instead of a “STAR SPOTTING!!!” it’s date night at a b-ball game with beer, shitty food and Jay. In a way, it normalizes her vastly non-normal, high class life. Check out the rest of her pictures here. They are beautiful and awesome.
Just fucking beautiful.
Oh dear: Walmart Bingo
Sad, but true. Have you ever been to that place after 11pm? You’d win in like 45 seconds. Just stand by the cash registers.
