  • My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part V

    I cannot utterly believe WHY I’m posting this, but… while rummaging through my dusty albums, I discovered the first album I ever EVER bought, back when I was 10? This is WHY we love the early to mid-90’s because the 90’s were tacky… if the 80’s were tacky in American and the rest of the world, we certainly caught up in the 90’s, people.

    For past reasons of why they ruled, check the following links:

    Part I
    Part II
    Part III (Disney Edition)
    Part IV (Ruth rules Edition)

    Forget about leg-warmers, puffy hair and big glasses… though Beals and Matlin certainly blossomed. *tsk tsk* – My 90’s were tacky… flamboyant primary-colored suited boy bands waving and wooshing their flamboyant fans while singing Locomia, LOL’ Or velveted rancheras singing Querida… originally performed by my Latin version of Elton John, with Juan Gabriel. LOL’ But back to the album I found people… (more…)

  • My First The L Word Fanart

    I got sanely obsessed with Bokeh today, because well… I had been trying to figure out how to make it, until today! Of course, Heart Bokeh is a crowd favorite… So~~~~

    Bokeh craze + Sholly crazyness = a Sholly Bokeh Crazy Fanart.

  • Wonderfalls – Shows You Should’ve Watched

    Wonderfalls - Shows You Shoul\'ve Watched When They Were on the AirNot long ago, I got the opportunity to watch Wonderfalls. Some of the words that come to mind are “Brilliant!” or “Fudge you, Fox,” and “Buh-buh-buh buh-bye.” In these short couple of weeks, I have fallen in love with the now-canceled-Fox-show.

    What’s the show about? It’s about Jaye Tyler. Now, if you LOVED watching Juno being Juno with all her Junoness, you’ll love Jaye because Jaye is the quintessential Juno. Many-a-times people find themselves in the extremes of loving/hating the puns, and the worldplay… but if you love it, you’ll enjoy Wonderfalls.

    Jaye is a 24-year-old graduate from Brown University with a Psychology Degree, yet she finds herself over-educated and in a crappy job in a souvenir shop on the American side of Niagara Falls. She also finds herself working under the supervision of a mouth-breather who is still in high school… when one day inanimate objects shaped in the form of animals begin talking to her. Yes, Jaye is a crazy person… or maybe not?

    Jaye, very much a la Joan of Arc, begins listening to these voices that tell her to do stuff in very cryptic messages, which often results in her getting into trouble or even helping people! She’s also joined by her not-not-a-sister (double negative there), her over-achiever-yet-living-at-home brother, her neurotic but caring mother, her nervous dad… Mahandra, her 1/8 Indian (native American) black woman friend, a cute-yet-heart-broken bartender, and a whole bunch of other funky and quirky characters that will surely make you snort throughout the 13 episodes.

  • Music Talk

    Well, I was listening to some new music on my iPod, when I realized I haven’t talked about new music in a while. In fact, I haven’t changed my Deezer music player since Christmas, ha!

    So this is some info on what I’ve been listening to:

    • LAST ALLIANCE (which I haven’t found the lyrics yet!)
    • Ingrid Michaelson – Girls and Boys
    • SoKo – No Sokute
    • Reel Big Fish (this really gets you going)
    • The Moldy Peaches (thank you, Juno… lol)
    • Kimya Dawson
    • Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé
    • Feist (more songs of her)
    • The Mamas and the Papas, alongside with some Cass Elliot
    • The Eagles – Long Road Out of Eden
    • Freezepop – Swimming Pool is pretty awesome.
    • Kate Nash – Made of Bricks
    • Vampire Weekend – it’s pretty fun, but not as fun as Los Campesinos! xD
    • The Kooks – Konk
    • Melanie C… her music is not bad, but I’m feeling it’s missing an umph!
    • Au Revoir Simone – The Bird of Music… The Lucky One, oh the Sholly fan in me!

    And some few more soundtracks~~

    • Enchanted – Gotta love Amy Adams singing The Happy Working Song.
    • August Rush – Raise it Up was pretty cool too.
    • Atonement – that damn typewriter! lol’
    • Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street – Pretty Women~~~~ I will have VENGEANCE!!!
    • Rent – The Motion Picture… though the version of La Vie Boheme sounds cooler in the Broadway version.
    • Selma Songs – The soudntrack for Dancer in the Dark
    • Les Chansons d’Amour soundtrack – the French film Love Songs. Pretty awesome stuff.

    Happy music hunt!

  • Buffy Reunites!

    The Paley Television Festival paid tribute to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, because Buffy is cool, okay? Anyway, they managed to reunite most of the cast (except for Willow, Faith, Giles and Angel… aka. Alisson Hannigan, Eliza Dushku, Anthony Stewart Head and David Boreanaz).

    I was trying to find different photos of the event, but all were basically the same… SMG with Green, low-res group photos, etc. However, it was nice to hear about Emma Caulfield out and about, since we don’t get to hear much from her projects. I have a few links talking about the event:

  • Buffy Doing It with Spike Makes It to Numero 1!

    LOL. Just found the following article~

    And Cherie (Rosanna Arquette) and Shane (Katherine Moennig) made it to the Top 10, ha!

  • Marlee Matlin on Dancing with the Stars

    I’m not one to watch Dancing with the Stars on a regular basis, but I saw my first EVER complete episode on Monday because Marlee Matlin was there. She didn’t get to dance yet, but it was worth the watch just because of the quote:

    All I can say is “read my hips.”

    Marlee Matlin - Dancing with the Stars - Read My Hips

    Watch and vote for her people, because she’s awesome.

  • My Reasons Why the 90’s Ruled or Not – Part IV

    We’re back with a new edition of why the 90’s ruled!! For past reasons of why they ruled, check the following links:

    Part I
    Part II
    Part III (Disney Edition)

    Ruth InfarinatoThis time, I’m gonna be talking about the coolest VJ in MTV Latin America, and that was Ruth! The orange-haired Argentinean who graced MTV Latin America for long enough so she could make an impact on my TV viewing. She was chill, she was hip… she was just what VJs are supposed to be.

    According to Wikipedia, Ruth is a host and an actress, and became one of the main figures for the Latin American youth thanks to her job as a VJ for over 10 years. I mainly knew her from her show Conexion, but she also hosted, co-produced and wrote several other interactive programs… which make her even cooler.

    You see, MTV was cooler at that point in time… VJs didn’t try hard to be hip and cool. MTV was actually about music, and reality tv and crappy series weren’t part of the scheduling. You could actually keep your tv on MTV, and no one would think that was weird. There was also Daria, Beavis and Butthead, and even Ren and Stimpy!

    And why the heck am I writing about this? Well, I was watching old tapes, and I had recorded some of Ruth’s show Conexion. I actually ended up watching the whole show, and it made me nostalgic about watching MTV, lol. I barely watch any MTV, maybe I occasionally end up watching it at 3 or 4 in the morning, but you wouldn’t catch me watching it during the day.

    Nowadays, I tend to watch more VH1, but it’s not necessarily good either, but it’s better than MTV’s programs… most of the times. I remember that in Canada I began watching MuchMusic, which is like Canadian MTV… after a while, I was more of a MuchMoreMusic type of person, almost like the Canadian version of VH1. I did watch quite a bit of CMT too, but that was in Canada – Cable in Peru did had, at one point in time, CMT in their listing but it didn’t last much longer than a month.

  • Show Some Luvin’ to Marcia, People!

    Way before (film) award season began, I came up with a For Your Consideration campaign for Marion Cotillard, who ended up winning! *woot woot* – the funny thing about the whole thing was that the graphics I made only listed three awards, the Academy Award, the BAFTA and the Golden Globe. Yes, she didn’t actually get the Golden Globe for drama, but she got the one in the Comedy/Musical, to the disbelief of some Ellen Page fans (I’m an Ellen Page fan, but… come on, get real. lol’) – Anyway, I had totally forgotten about the SAG and SHE LOST THAT ONE! Now I’m better prepared.

  • We Love Bree!

    Let’s start off with a quote from EW.com:

    Bree Van De Kamp has a deeper role: She is Wisteria Lane’s beacon of perfection — the exquisitely starched pleat in a wash-and-wear world — and God love her, it’s the only thing keeping her sane.

    We didn’t always love Bree, so correct in her deportment she made Miss Manners look sloppy.
