New Moon Trailer.
I know, I know…this is my third post about the Twilight series. I promise, this blog isn’t being completely taken over by my favorite obsession, but I couldn’t resist posting the latest trailer for New Moon. Apparently it will premiere at the MTV VMA’s Sunday and is also playing in the previews before Friday’s horror release Sorority Row. Anyway, here it is…be sure to watch it before it’s taken off.
So, what did you think? Since I’ve officially moved over to Team Jacob, I personally feel there’s way too much focus on Edward in this one, but fans of the sparkly stud will undoubtedly get their panties in a bunch over the shirtless scene in Volterra. Me? I’ll stick to my buff underage werewolf, thanks!
Thanks to Perez Hilton for originally posting this.

Gossip Guy.
I did a double take when I read the second sentence of this article on NYDailyNews.com. According to a recent study in the UK, men who gossip outnumber gossiping women two to one. What?!?! Especially knowing the habits of my friends (you know who you are) and myself (yes, I’m guilty too), I’m skeptical that these stats ring true for us here in the US. I don’t know a female who DOESN’T love sharing “the skinny” with a friend…we’re all guilty of it and it’s time to accept it. The guys I know, on the other hand, seem more focused on sports, beer, and of course, us ladies. I doubt they’re calling each other up because whatshisname and whosherface ended their facebook relationship, but I guess I could be wrong. What do you think…which sex is guilty of the most gossip?

Eargasm.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Hova is king of the hip hop/rap world, in my opinion at least. There’s just something about Jay’s swagger that draws me to his music- and his cockyness is definitely not misplaced. His rhymes have always had more substance than anything out on the radio (Soulja Boy, anyone?) and you’ll never catch him jumping around like a jackass talking about his BIG ASS CHAIN. Not to mention, he’s married to Beyoncé, one of my biggest girl crushes. I took an early morning trip to Best Buy to pick up Jay-Z’s latest release The Blueprint 3 today, and was almost literally blown away. Although the entire album leaked onto the web a week or so ago, I purposely stayed away from any and all sites where snippets and/or full tracks could be found or discussed. This album is the first I’ve actually gone to the store for and bought in years, and I was so excited for it. Now I’m sure most of you think I’m biased since I’ve previously confessed my love for Jay, but believe me when I say this album is dope. I couldn’t find a track I disliked, which is pretty unusual for me. So go out and buy it or download it off iTunes- it’s definitely worth the $. Packed with high profile collabs, the track list includes already-released singles “Run This Town” ft Kanye West and Rihanna, as well as “Death of Autotune”, but also has quite a few more guaranteed hits, if they’re released as singles. My favorites are “A Star is Born” ft J.Cole, “So Ambitious” ft. Pharell, and “Young Forever” ft. Mr. Hudson.

Updates…
Sorry guys! I know it’s been forever since I did a post, but school and work have kept me so busy for the last week or so…not to mention I added a little boy to my family, bringing our grand total up to 2! Haha. No, I haven’t been mysteriously hiding a pregnancy for the past 9 months…I adopted a puppy! His name is Tyson, and he’s the love of my life. Rob and I went to pick him up from a shelter in Elmira a week ago today, and needless to say Ty has kept me on my toes. He’s a 4-month-old boxer/mastiff mix and he’s already 40lbs! He’s gonna be absolutely huge and I can’t wait. Here’s a picture I took on his first day home: 
Don’t you just want to squish his little face? I guess you could say I’m a proud mama.
In other news, my 21st birthday is rapidly approaching. Feel free to send presents. I had to make a dreaded trip to the DMV to renew my license, but I was so excited to take another picture. First of all, I know I look way younger than I am, but at 16 I looked about 12. And I had this weird hair thing going on…not what I wanna be whipping out at the bars on my first night of legal debauchery. So, I took steps to prep for a good photo this time. I showered, blew my hair out (for those of you who know me, you know that happens once in a blue moon), and even put on a little make up. (which happens even less frequently!) I got up in front of that gray screen, gave my best “i’m cool as sh*t” smile and felt confident…until the clerk turned the computer around to show me my photo. 3 tries later, my drivers license photo is still disgustingly unflattering.
I guess my point here is…does ANYONE have a good drivers license photo? If you do, I wanna see it. I seriously don’t know anyone who does. I think those cameras are specially made to make everyone look horrible. What’s worse is that the DMV knows this! I found this transcript from a radio show on NPR where they interviewed DMV employees and asked for tips for a good license photo.
Also, if you’re looking for a few laughs, I found this site which features some funny id photos.
Whew. Ok, I promise I’ll have a few more posts out over the next few days…let me know what you wanna read about!
xoxo.

Ghetto Techno.
The other day I posted the new Drake song, “Forever” and made a comment about how Kanye is one of my favorite rappers. Well if Kanye is one of my favorites, Jay-Z is the king. Hands down, Hov is my absolute favorite artist in the hip hop/rap game. I’m really looking forward to the release of Blueprint 3, his next album…in my eyes, Jay can do no wrong.
Ok, enough gushing. Ghetto Techno is rumored to be on the upcoming release, and although it’s not the best I’ve heard out of Hov, I’m still liking it a lot.

Express yoself.
Although I’ve only had one day of classes, I’ve got a pile of homework I’m already procrastinating over. (reading Huck Finn for the 5th time, anyone?) So, as I sit here catching up on the 20+ blogs I have bookmarked on my computer, I stumble across this gem known as Polyvore, where budding fashionistas can select a bag, shoe, top, bottom -virtually any component of a potential outfit- and create an entire “set” from the site’s endless list of brands, stores, and products and then publish it for other people to browse. I was amazed at the hundreds of different sets…you can search for a particular look by trend, brand, even celebrity inspiration.
Here’s one of my many favorites:

Sunday Funnies
This is probably the most hilarious thing I’ve seen all week. On the ABC show Wife Swap, a young boy flips out after his “new mom” tries to throw away his bacon. Hell, I’d probably throw a tantrum too if someone took away my bacon.
His little southern drawl totally makes the video. Dude, I can’t run in high heels either.

Volturi photos released.
Sorry, this is my second Twilight post in as many days, but like I said, I’m obsessed. And the thing is, once you fall in love with these books, it never goes away! You put them down for a few weeks, stop watching the movie, neglect to search for any and all information you can find on the internet…and all of a sudden, BAM. Something happens that triggers your obsession and it’s a full-blown sickness again. For me, this catalyst was all the hype going on about New Moon, the second book in the series and the next movie to be released by Summit Entertainment. Taylor Lautner’s extreme hotness may have had something to do with it as well, but he’s still a teenager and me thinking about that anymore is, well…illegal to say the least.
Anyway, enough rambling. What I really want to show you is the the new movie promo pics released of the Volturi, the Italian vampires who technically rule over the vamp world. Here they are, courtesy of People.com.

Isn’t Dakota Fanning creepy as Jane? I’ve always said there’s something about that girl that scares the crap out of me. Like she could snap and go psycho any minute! I kid, I kid…I’m sure she’s a sweetie. But I’m definitely looking forward to seeing her play the absolutely evil Jane.

Pump it up.
I was listening to the radio this morning while driving and on came an ESPN “Jock Jams” mash up…remember those cd’s? (or tapes, for those of you who are old enough.) That got me thinking about how music really does get people amped up. I remember getting ready to play high school field hockey games at an away stadium that blared Queen’s “We Will Rock You” on the p.a. system and getting all goosebump-y and pumped up. Hell, all you need to do is play the theme from ‘Rocky’ and I’m ready to step into a boxing ring…As a matter of a fact, I do some of my best Wii Boxing while ‘Hearts on Fire’ (training montauge from Rocky IV) is playing, just ask my former roomies.
What I’m getting at, is that music has the ability to lift us up, bring us down, put us in a party mood, or maybe even a fighting mood. Kind of cool that someone else’s creation can have such a profound effect on people. I know anything by Jay-Z puts me in that cocky, I-can-do-anything-and-ya’all-ain’t-got-sh**-on-me mood…What are some songs that have an effect on you guys?

I was browsing The Lipstick Diaries, a fashion blog I read on the regular, and came across this hideous creation known as “The Shuella”:
Seriously, who the hell came up with these, and what were they on? While the girls over at The Lipstick Diaries loved these, and I normally think their advice is pretty on point, I wouldn’t be caught dead with them on my feet. And what’s more, they retail here for almost $50! My grandmother could make something slightly more stylish with a plastic bag and some paint. People, this is what rainboots were made for. Target makes some cute ones nowadays, so I’m begging you, if you’re searching for a way to keep your toesies dry…drop the $20 on a pair of boots and don’t risk this fashion faux-pas.
