SONG OF THE DAY

I would like to state, dear reader, that I am doing this FOR YOU.

I am in a world of pain (which yes, I brought onto myself) but I am breaking through that pain barrier to bring you Song Of The Day. I hope you appreciate this.

The Song Of The Day is '22' by Lily Allen. I'm a massive fan of Lily, and have been since her first song Smile, because I like a good ol' fashion song about revenge.
Anyway, I kind of identify with '22', although I'm not 30. It sort of captures how I feel sometimes. I identify with the film clip too, especially the idea that when you look in the mirror when you're drunk, you think you look awesome. Granted, most of the time I do, but you get the idea...

Anyway, enjoy!

'22'?

DECISION: AWESOME

The tribe has spoken...Jeff Probst, you are still so AWESOME!

Back in 2000, we here at A&F developed a disease called Probstaliosis. It's a very serious condition, for which there is no known cure.

Essentially it means that we love Jeff Probst and nothing and no one can change our minds.

Symptoms include the following:

1. Wanting all men around you to have a rugged 5 o'clock shadow
2. Wishing that all men wore shirts rolled up at the sleeve, slightly unbuttoned and little dirty (We're not talking "homeless" dirty but "I've been on location in Africa/China/Cook Islands/ Australian Outback and don't have a washing machine" dirty)
3. Thinking that hacking through a forest on the way to a helicopter, is just about the coolest thing ever
4. Wanting your friend to say "The tribe has spoken" and snuff out a torch at your funeral
5. Getting ridiculously excited at being somewhat linked to Probst, or meeting someone who has met/knows him
6. Wanting to wake up and start your day with someone saying..."Previously on Survivor"

It's been 9 years since Survivor first aired, yet we still think Probst is as cool as the first time we saw him.

The guy is awesome, no question.

He mocks the contestants.

He clearly enjoys baiting them with awkward questions at tribal council.

He has an awesome job and hasn't taken that for granted.

He has many great catchphrases which you know he loves, such as...

"Wanna know what you're playing for?"

"I'll go tally the votes"

"Once again, immunity is back up for grabs"

"Come on in guys"

and the greatest of all...

"The tribe has spoken"

Jeff Probst makes the universe better. Consistently cool for 9 years.

Jeff Probst?

DECISION: AWESOME

Follow us on Twitter!

That's right, kiddies. We can use the internets.

Allison is Alli888, and I'm Katetheunicorn. Don't ask me why. Possibly because I like the idea of having something I can stab people with on top of my head. Oh, the hilarity that would ensue.

Follow us on Twitter so you know of our updates AS SOON AS THEY HAPPEN!
Decision?

AWESOME!

You stay classy, interwebs.

SONG OF THE DAY

So we're introducing another new element to the site called, "Song of the Day".

Essentially we will just post daily, a song we think is awesome. It's as simple as that people.

We should add that we will NOT be turning into Perez Hilton. We do not want to shove our musical tastes (awesome as they are) down your throats. We do not, nor will we ever, see ourselves as musical gurus. Oh and side note, we think the fact that Perez now has his own record label is vile! The guy is a gossip columnist for crying out loud! Oh and Perez btw, if you call Lady Gaga either wifey, gagaloo, our lady or any such obnoxious nickname again, we will have to be committed to the psych ward because WE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Now onto today's song...

"Don't Stop Believing " by Journey

OK so this song is AWESOME! Why? Because it's a classic. It's not about fancy beats, just some dudes from San Francisco rocking out on actual instruments. It's fabulous because it makes you sing along with it, oh you can try to fight it but it will get you in the end. You can crank it in you car and end up with a big smile on your face, because it's a fun song and you can sing it as badly as you want.

Below are the links to two versions of the song. The first is the original by Journey the second from the show Glee. Go now people to Itunes and buy it. This song makes the universe better!

"Don't Stop Believing"???

DECISION: AWESOME!!!!!!

I will fight you.

I googled Rebecca Wilson. What I found digusted me beyond belief.
One of the speaker’s bureaus she’s listed with calls her ‘Queensland’s gift to the nation.’. OH DEAR LORD.
I can think of many other gifts to the nation that we here in Queensland have given. Such as The Great Barrier Reef, Wally Lewis and, well, Alli and I.
Rebecca Wilson could be considered a gift, I suppose. If a gift was defined as something you wish never existed and who you mostly feel embarrassed for.

She was asked, once, why she thinks people dislike her. Her response was ‘“Because it’s sport and because I’m a woman and because ... I tell you what, I said to someone on radio the other day who was working with me, ‘Don’t take me on and put my back to the wall because I’ll fight you and I’ll win. Don’t do it’.”
WRONG, Rebecca. It’s because you’re a moron.
And I will take you on. Bring it, bitch. Any day of the week.

She’s always sticking her big, fat, mouth in where it doesn’t belong. Like when she opened up her trap during the Matthew Johns rape furor. I personally believe that in this case, it was the female that was at fault. I actually believe Matt Johns’ story. I don’t think that in all cases, but in this one the girl sounds like some dumb slut who should’ve known better. And puh-lease. SEVEN YEARS of depression and thinking about suicide? Unlikely. If you’d be thinking about it that much you would have done it already.
Anyway, I digress…
She started ranting and raving about this poor girl, how she was such a victim, blah blah blah. She was acting like she was there, like she alone knew the truth. WRONG AGAIN, Rebecca. You’re nothing but a dirty journo. Not that all journalists are dirty, but if she wants to call herself a sports reporter…you know what, report sport.
Otherwise, do us all a favour and go work for News of the World, where truth is as flexible as a drunk yoga instructor.

And now all this Broncos business. Please. I openly admit I’m a great Broncos supporter. However, I know, like all men, they’re bound to do stupid things from time to time.
But then ol’ Beccy gets involved and just….grrr!! I’m so angry I can’t even verablise my anger! And I’m great at being angry.

I’m a big believer in the fact that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Does everyone here know she was arrested MULTIPLE TIMES for drink driving?
Well, she was. So she’s not only a drunk…but a stupid drunk, too. And they’re the worst kind. Not in a stupid drunk like I’m a stupid drunk kind of way, when I believe I am awesome and should pretty much win So You Think You Can Dance.
You know what, drunk driving could cost people lives. You, Rebecca, I’m not so worried about. It’s the other people on the road.

Her attempts (succesful, unfortunately) to gain attention just by being outspoken are, at best, pathetic, at worst, evil.

It reminds me of something Romy (of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion) once said:

"You're a bad person with an ugly heart, and we don't give a flying fuck what you think."

I think that sums it up nicely.

(She's also ugly in the face!)

As a side note, I would encourage you all to listen to Meshel Laurie V Rebecca Wilson on the Matt Johns issue from earlier this year. It’s been one of the highlights of my year, radio-listening-wise and just another reason we think Meshel Laurie is awesome, but that’s a post for another day.

Decision?

Rebecca Wilson: FLAWSOME

Back off!

I buy awesome lunches. I am very rarely organised enough to plan for my lunches during the week, so I tend to make use of the numerous cafes/restaurants/sandwich shops in the South Brisbane area.

And I'm not afraid to buy tasty food. I openly admit it. My food may not nearly be as healthy as some of my work colleagues, but damnit it's tasty and if I have to carry a bit more cellulite because of it, then damn it, I will! I love my food. In fact, I just love food full stop. Mine or anyone elses.

Which brings me to the rant - you like the look of my food? You know what? BUY IT YOURSELF! I rarely buy my food from a location that is more than 100m away from our offices. But, guaranteed, each time I bring it back to the office there is undoubtedly AT LEAST five people who'll look at my food, comment 'Well, gee...that looks nice'. And then pause, looking at it, and looking at me.
What's that? You want me to offer you some? HELL NO, BITCHES.
I have no problem sharing food, at all. But don't try to be all subtle about it. Come to me, say, hey, that looks awesome, can I have a chip/wedge/taste/chicken leg/shoulder of ham? Do not stare at it, and me, drooling, until I begrudgingly offer you some. We're wasting time, people. Ask for it, I won't be offended and let's face it, I'm generally too polite to say no. Plus, I'd do the same to you.

Or, better yet, stop your denial and say I LOVE FOOD, TOO and buy your own damn wedges.

Decision?

My lunches: AWESOME

You lusting after my food: FLAWSOME

Oh Katherine Heigl, why must you disappoint us so?

Oh Katherine Heigl, where shall we begin??

As a wise woman once said, we should start at the very beginning (apparently that's the very best place to start).

We used to love Katherine Heigl.

We thought she was an awesome chick and for a while we believed we were right in that assumption.

The following reasons prove that we weren't crazy

1. She was/is (sorry for being ambiguous but the finale was a cliffhanger) Izzie Stevens on Grey's Anatomy For the first few seasons of that show (before it all got a bit...well..crap) she was one of the best characters/actors on it. She helped make Izzie funny, relatable and the most normal of a pretty insane bunch of characters. She won an Emmy too (for what that's worth).
2. She isn't a size 0. She looks like a woman. She has curves. She makes girls who live in the real world feel a little bit better about themselves.
3. She is 1.73cm tall. She isn't some petite waif who makes the women around her feel like giants.
4. She played Alison in the AMAZING movie Knocked Up. Awesome name and awesome movie. She was funny and fabulous in it.
5. When her friend and co-star T.R Knight was called a gay slur on the Grey's set by Isaiah Washington she stood up for him. At the time Katherine responded to the comment by saying: "I don't think [Washington] meant it the way it came off, but T.R. is my best friend. I will throw down for that kid. I will beat you up. I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings."
6. When Washington continued to speak publicly about the incident she again came to her friend's defence saying "I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period."; "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said, I'm not okay with it."
7. She has guts and opinions and isn't afraid to voice them. We used to have a lot of respect for her and how honest she seemed. However honesty also has to be self-edited. Anyone with a brain knows, that sometimes it's in every one's best interests to keep your opinions to yourself.
8. She's lazy and we get that. She has said "If I wasn't in this industry, I wouldn't work out. But I have hips and a butt and everything that goes along with that, including cellulite! So I do the best I can."

She seemed so cool and then somewhere along the way something went horribly wrong.

We've been down this path before, when someone we thought was totally cool and awesome turns out to be the complete opposite (We're looking at you Lindsay Lohan). It saddens us greatly to say this but Katherine Heigl - you have become a total fuckwit! You disagree? Well, sadly, we have proof:

1. Knocked Up was her first big, starring role in a major movie. It was a huge success and it made her a movie star. Then she went ahead and took a big bite of the hand that was feeding her and said this about it..."It's a little sexist. It paints the women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as lovable, goofy, fun-loving guys. It exaggerated the characters, and I had a hard time with it, on some days. I'm playing such a bitch..."
2. She's a working actress. She has a steady gig on a hit show, whilst millions of unemployed and possibly more talented people wait tables when they can. Despite this, she slaps everyone in the face. After her first day back on the set on Grey's she had the following comment to make "Our first day back was Wednesday and it was — I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them — a 17-hour day." Well boo-freaking-hoo! I'm sure most people would rather work 17 hours a day than none at all, or work 17 hours in a thankless job for no pay.
3. She's a dirty smoker...that's all we need to say about that.
4. In response to her criticism of Knocked Up Seth Rogen had this to say... "I gotta say it's not like we're the only people she's said some batshit crazy things about. That's kind of her bag now." We love Seth Rogen (aside from the excessive weed smoking) and will back him all the way!
5. She's ungrateful
6. She's unprofessional
7. She's gutless...if you want out of Grey's QUIT! Give the job to some poor actor who needs the money
8. She need to get over herself STAT!
9. She's an idiot. Judd Apatow is one of the biggest writers/directors/producers around at the moment and she has pissed him off...not smart.

Katherine, we don't want to dislike you, we can't hate you because...well...we just really love Knocked Up. We want you to be normal again and for the old you to come back. We want you to get over yourself and realise that no matter how "bad" you think your life is, at the end of the day you are paid millions of dollars to dress up and play pretend.

So, it is with a disappointed heart that we say...

Old Katherine Heigl: AWESOME

New Katherine Heigl: So very FLAWSOME
