Ain't Nothing Like the Real JT!

Hot Hot Hot!

Itunes Genius

So I downloaded the new iTunes 8 because I was curious about the new Genius playlist feature. (shuffle with a brain) While I'm VERY less then pleased that in order to use it, I have to allow iTunes to upload information about my library, I still turned it on. Gizmodo from the link above said the information uploaded is anonymous, so I'm just going to pretend like I believe that and move on. The feature is pretty cool although it's choices are alittle odd at times (it chose Colorblind to go with SexyBack). I'm surprised at how much rock it chose to go with SexyBack and no hiphop or rap. Hopefully it will get better. My first try at it was using SexyBack by Justin Timberlake. Eight of the 25 songs I have rated at 5 stars, 1 at 4 stars, 1 at 3 stars, and the rest are unrated. Here is the playlist it came up with:

1. SexyBack- Justin Timberlake f./ Timbaland
2. The Queen and I - Gym Class Heroes
3. A little less Sixteen Candles - Fall Out Boy
4. Hate (I really don't like you) - Plain White T's
5. Love and Memories - OAR
6. Perfect Situation - Weezer
7. Cry Me a River - Justin Timberlake
8. Here's to the Night - Eve 6
9. I Just Wanna Live - Good Charlotte
10. Colorblind - Counting Crows
11. These Walls - Teddy Geiger
12. Pop - Nsync
13. Behind Bleu Eyes - Limp Bizkit
14. Don't Speak - No Doubt
15. My Own Worst Enemy - Lit
16. Losing My Way - Justin Timberlake
17. Luxurious - Gwen Stefani
18. But it's Better if You Do - Panic at the Disco
19. Rumors - Lindsay Lohan (this must be a bug, I swear I don't have this. LOL)
20. That's What You Get - Paramore
21. Pieces of Me - Ashlee Simpson
22. Dark Blue - Jack's Mannequin
23. Senorita - Justin Timberlake
24. She's No You - Jesse McCartney
25. Smile Like You Mean It - The Killers

Got Steam?

Here it is, my first scrapbook page based on something I blogged. Part of the plan when I switched to blogger was to use my blog to journal for potential future scrapbook pages. Finally, I got around to doing one. I love the way it came out.



Blog post its based off

Now I need to find a better way to digitize my scrapbook pages. I should play around with photo stitching I guesss since my scanner won't scan an entire 12x12 layout. I'll add that to my list of things that don't get done. Hope you enjoy this page as much as I do.

Four Things about Alpha Dog

It was late, but I decided to watch a few minutes of TV before bed last night. I came across Alpha Dog on HBO, it had just started. I ended up watching almost the entire thing. I turned it off just before the kid gets killed because that's a horrible part of the movie. I've seen this movie several times, it has Justin Timberlake in it after all, and each time a couple things about the story really bother me. For one, I can't get over what a pussy Johnny Truelove really is. I mean he's supposed to be some badass drug dealer, but he comes across as a complete pussy. It really drives me nuts. Two, the kid is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but he never fights back and he has several times when he can leave and he doesn't. Three, Why doesn't Frankie just make the kid leave in that scene right before they take the kid to kill him? And Four, how can those kids possibly believe that murder is better than kidnapping. The scene where Frankie and Elvis try to rationalize why they have to murder the kid and they talk about how if they let him go they are all looking at life in prison, so it has to be done. What did they think was going to happen after they murdered the kid?
Like I said, I've seen this movie several times and I know the outcome and I know the story it's based on yet I still find myself everytime yelling at the TV for Frankie to just tell that kid to leave in the scene where they are watching Austin Powers. Frankie knows what's about to happening and he doesn't want to do it, he wants the kid to leave why or why doesn't he just force him to go or tell him what's about to go down?

Okay enough of that heavy stuff... Damn isn't Justin Timberlake HOT in that movie!!!!

In my dreams Justin can't Iron

I have the strangest dreams. Last nights was short what I remember of it. I was at Justin's house in LA for a visit which appears to be the first time I had been there. He was getting ready to go to Dancing With the Stars. All I can think is that he was for some reason performing on the results show because I can't imagine in any world he was one of the celebrity dancers. So anyway, he was getting dressed to go and the shirt he wanted to wear to the show needed to be ironed. He started to freak out because his Mother wasn't there and apparently she's the only one that can iron his shirts properly. Finally I say, just let me do it, how hard can it possibly be. So, I iron his shirt very carefully and very slowly making sure to get it just the way his Mom does. I'm just about done with it and his Mom walks in surprised that I'm ironing Justin's shirt. He yells at his Mom wanting to know why she's so late and that he needed his shirt ironed. I finish the shirt and his Mom inspects it and gives it the okay saying I did an excellent job. Everyone is relieved and I stand at the window watching him get into his car to leave for the show in the shirt I ironed NOT his Mom. He comes home and he and I are on the couch watching a movie, the movie gets over and I make a comment on how late it is and that I should go to bed. He asks me if he were to ask me to spend the night in his room, what would I say? I pause for a half a second and then say, yes absolutely! We start to walk to his room and then I wake up! (Right before the good stuff, I'm sure!!)

She speaks the truth

On our way to the drive-in over the weekend. Out of nowhere, Riley says:

Riley: Justin Timberlake has steam.
Me: Justin Timberlake has steam?
Riley: Yes
Me: Why?
Riley: Because he's super hot.
Me: Justin Timberlake has steam coming off him because he's super hot?
Riley: YES!!!! Justin Timberlake has steam cause he's super hot!!!!

I did not teach her that. She came up with all on her own. Even Doug laughed!

I dare you to watch it

Up until last night the worst movie I had ever seen was George Clooney's Solaris. Last night we watched Southland Tales and it was BAD, really Bad. I rented it mostly because it had Justin Timberlake in it, but also because it had The Rock, Sean William Scott, Sarah Michele Geller, and Amy Poehler among several others we were soon to find out. I can't even begin to tell you what the movie was about. Early on I said to Doug, "Do you have any idea what's going on?" His response, "No". There were two positives for me in the movie that might make it better than Solaris and they are Justin narrated the whole movie which means I got to hear his voice ALOT, and I bought Justin as a crazy weirdo, so his acting was good. However, those two positives don't outweigh the bad and the worst thing was, it was 160 minutes long, 160 minutes. After I woke up from my nap, I thought "great it must be almost over now" 15, 20, 30 minutes go by, and I say outloud "Is this movie EVER going to end?" I have no idea what the movie was about and I couldn't even begin to tell you what happened in the movie other than half way through it broke into a music video with Justin's character and I laughed out loud. I think if I ever meet Justin I'm going to ask him "Come on, be honest, did you really have any idea what was going on in that movie?"

Justin or not Justin

Riley knows her fair share of Children's songs (yankee doodle, wheels on the bus, ring around the rosie, etc.) but when it comes to pop music Riley understands two distinct genres of music, Justin and Not Justin, as in Justin Timberlake or Not Justin Timberlake. This has been fine, Justin comes on the radio and Riley says "Another Justin" and then proceeds quickly with "Dance Mommy.... Dance!" And we dance together in the car.  These two distinct genres pose a small problem with songs like Timbaland's "Give it to me". How could only part of the song be Justin. It's got to be either Justin or Not Justin.  Doug, Riley, and I were in the car last night and "Give it to me" comes on. I explain that this particular song is very confusing to Riley, she doesn't get that only part of the song is Justin. Doug says, "There's one way to remedy that" Doug proceeds to change the radio station. I complain and his reasoning is "I'm just trying to help our daughter, I don't want her confused"  

I had to laugh even though I was mad he turned Justin off.

Be thankful he waved

I read a blog entry recently about how Justin Timberlake needs an attitude adjustment because some girl asked him for an autograph and he said "You want me to juggle too?" and because he was taking photos of the paparazzi and calling them assholes. Big freaking deal. Yeah I think Justin's attitude can be jerky sometimes who's isn't once in a while, but I don't think these particular examples are good enough to make a valid point about Justin's attitude. There was no background on the comment he made to the fan. The fan could have been annoying,could have been stalking him and bothering him for days, not like that's never happened before.(No not me, I hear the comment forming already ANDY!) I've seen first hand how rude and annoying some of his fans can be. And who says, "Do you want me to juggle too?" I don't believe that he actually said that for a minute. I've seen first hand how nice he can be to his fans. I had the chance to speak to him once and he was very nice, even stopped walking turned around and spoke to me. He even offered up additional information to the very very short conversation. I've also seen him more often completely ignore fans. I think all celebs are like this, you can't expect them to be perfect. And he's not the first person to take photographs of the paparazzi and call them assholes.

I think the bigger news story is the fact that his fans waiting for him outside his hotel ACTUALLY got a wave and acknowledgement from him. Now THAT's a big deal!

Did he really just say that?

I was watching the premiere of Making the Band 4 yesterday, I can't seem to resist Diddy shows for some reason. If for nothing else to watch Diddy, he is so funny sometimes. Anyway, in Diddy's opening monologue he talks about wanting to find the next great all boy soul/R&B group to follow in the footsteps of the greatest ones. He then lists some great male R&B groups, "The Temptations, New Edition, Boys 2 Men, Nsync". I rewound just to make sure I wasn't hearing things. Yes that's right he included Nsync in that list of great R&B Boy groups... Sweet!!!!

Debbie told me about this contest on the Gym Class Heroes fan club site. It's to create the best "Ill Summer Mix". It got me thinking, what would be my "Ill Summer Mix"? So far I've got a list of 14 potential candidates, but I'm not going to share them with you until I finalize my list. The GCH contest is 15 - 20 tracks, so I have to come up with more and then narrow down to the best 15-20 songs. Since I've been thinking about it since last night, I thought I'd see what my IPOD had to say about it, so I said "IPOD give me an Ill Summer Mix" and this is what it had to say:

1. Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane
2. Blurry - Puddle of Mud
3. Stay - Madonna
4. Locked Up - Akon
5. A little less Conversation - Elvis Presley
6. Because of You - Kelly Clarkson
7. Dreaming - Blondie
8. No Sleep till Brooklyn - Beastie Boys
9. Holiday Inn - Chingy, Snoop Dogg & Ludacris
10.In too Deep - Sum 41

There is one song in this list that actually IS already on my list, can you guess which? But other then that I'll have to say while I respect my IPOD's opinions most of the time, this just doesn't look like MY Ill Summer Mix. Maybe my IPOD doesn't understand what Ill is? hmmm.....

Rated PG

I love this quote from Justin:

"You seem like you might be PG-rated forever, and that's not the case. I was never PG-rated."

Thinking of Justin as something other than PG gets me all tingly inside :)

Anyone else think they were listening to the song with Windows Media Player?

Other then the last minute of Justin Timberlake's new video for LoveStoned, I don't like it at all. Yes you read that right. It's not a video, it's the graphics you see in Windows Media Player while listen to an MP3. I'm pretty disappointed, he could have done something really cool with this song. The only thing keeping me from saying I hate it is the last minute of the video. Holy Jesus is Justin beautiful!

Apollo wasn't a dancer?

I wanted Joey to win last night, but I too knew in my heart it would be Apollo. It still didn't stop me from yelling at the TV and chanting Joey, Joey, Joey waiting for them to announce the winner. It also didn't stop me from complaining that Joey should have won. The best was Doug though. he said, "Come on, Apollo was going to win all along, He's way better. You can't even tell he ISN'T a dancer" This coming from the guy who says he doesn't like the show, but I saw him peaking from behind his laptop last night :) I'm glad it came down to Apollo and Joey though. I would have seriously been disappointed to see Laila in the final 2. I'm okay with Apollo winning, he was really good and I did say a few weeks ago it would be hard to beat him. His freestyle Monday night sealed it for him I think. That was seriously the best routine of the entire season.
Can we take a moment to acknowledge how insanely better Ian is then any of the other dancers that were eliminated? Watching them dance again last night and damn they are aweful! Not IAN though he killed it.
If Joey, Ian, and Maks are on the Dancing with the Stars tour, I think it would be enough to get me to buy a ticket. Anyone else in?

Check out this photo of Maks from the Pirates Premiere the other night. Holy Good God that man is beautiful.

I'll take a Big dog please!

One way to get to my heart is to have a dog, a big dog. I get very annoyed when I see all these celebrities with their little rat dogs, but a celebrity with a big dog just make me like them even more. It's a fact that nice looking men with big dogs look even hotter. I have an example for you.

Let's take a look at Orlando Bloom. Here's a photo of him with a rat dog:


Oh Orlando, so NOT sexy.

Now Orlando with a big dog:

So Sexy!!!

You can't deny, big dogs make men look HOT, little dogs do not.



Jake Gyllenhaal: Pretty nice looking, but with his big dog in tow, super HOT!

Owen Wilson: Also easy on the eyes,but with his big dog, super HOT! Even riding a moped.

Justin Timberlake: Always Super HOT!, but how could I not post this.


And just for that 1 guy that reads my journal, here's Jessica Biel with her big dog. Even she looks hotter with a big dog :)

How to Make Wasted look Damn Sexy!

How far you think I could get with drunk Justin? (hehe)

I'm Lovin' It!

Clerks 2 ROCKS! I Loved it. At one point I was laughing so hard I was crying. I want to see it again and I'm definately buying it on DVD when it comes out. I'm a big Jason Mewes fan. Drug-free Jay is alot different, but not bad.

I LOVE Justin Timberlake. I saw Making the Video and JT is WAY HOT! The video so makes up for how much I don't like the chorus of SexyBack. I could watch it over and over. Especially the sex scene (pushing the girl against the wall, need more JT in that scene though). Also loved all the JT fingers. It drives me crazy.
