fairy tales

fairy tales are for little girls,

and very foolish women.

happily ever after

requires that you make it to the ever after.

magic tricks, much like Prince Charming's words,

are designed to trick your mind;

never trust a magician

nose-diving expectations and squelched dreams

is where it's at.

let down's are the thing to really put your faith in.

sooo beautiful!

looove the Chinese lanterns!

NJ Housewives

clipped from evilbeetgossip.film.com It’s been informally announced that Elvira Grau will be the newest housewife on the cast and that she should be making her first appearance in tomorrow night’s episode. But count on the addition of this particular castmate to keep that drama train running full steam. Elvira, a Russian immigrant, owns two of New Jersey’s hottest entertainment venues. We caught a sneak peak of one of her businesses during Teresa’s daughter’s birthday party and the other one, Space Odyssey, is hosting Teresa’s book party tonight.

She better be as awesome as Dina 'cause the last thing this show needs is more drama.

Smith, Stephen A. Smith

Stephen A Smith - On the view:

"It's impossible to get to any solution because you have politicians that are interested in their own agendas instead of what's in the best interest of the country. That's why you have the left acting the way that they do, that's why you have the right acting the way that they do, they're not thinking about the American people as much as they are thinking about themselves and we are desperately craving somebody that's standing before us that we know for a fact is thinking about the best interests of the United States."


Hear that ladies of The View? Your incessant nit-picking at the other party's president is not actually helping anyone. You're just making yourselves look ridiculous because you can't see for ONE second that these Presidents are still human and that there is only so much they can do given the information that they have and the amount of baloney they are forced to deal with on a regular basis. Fancy that.

Yea I know it's a Justin B song but skip to 2:05 - Jayden Smith's face while he's rapping (and pretty well in my opinion) is priceless.

this article's a bit salty

clipped from http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/06/16/salt.taste/index.html?eref=igoogle_cnn "There are supertasters and non-tasters," Hayes adds. "Supertasters live in a neon taste world -- everything is bright and vibrant. For non-tasters, everything is pastel. Nothing is ever really intense." In fact, just the opposite may be true: A new study suggests that you may love salt because you're a "supertaster" -- a person who experiences tastes such as saltiness and bitterness more intensely than other people do. For instance, salt helps cancel out bitterness, one of the sensations that supertasters experience in Technicolor. This may explain why the supertasters in the study perceived the low-sodium cheddar cheese to be twice as bitter as the Cracker Barrel, and liked it far less than the other study participants did.

so world, this is why British food is "bland" - our taste buds are just more refined than yours - yea, let that sink in ya crazy spiced-up foreigners

jk, I'm sure your food is lovely too

I'm sure you'll agree

this is Revoltingly Adorable

Say whattt

Here I was all this time thinking that water was just tasteless by nature 
(and by tasteless I mean lacking in taste, and not like that comment yo momma made 'bout that old chicks blue wiglet... although you could argue that both the comment and the wig also lack taste). 

clipped from pudtblf3va8elj51nougnho8fktrfp23.ig.ig.gmodules.com Did you know? Unlike dogs, pigs, and some other mammals, humans cannot taste water. They taste only the chemicals and impurities in the water.

Dina Left!

Ahhh so sad! I love Dina!
She had to though right? I mean Danielle is insane (and by insane I mean evil).

clipped from tvwatch.people.com The Real Housewives of New Jersey In the wake of an announcement by Bravo that one of the stars of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will be leaving the show for good, it’s looking more and more like that Housewife is Dina Manzo. And while viewers have seen much less of Manzo this season, she’s also made it clear that she’s become increasingly uncomfortable with the attention — and the drama — that comes with being a Housewife. “I don’t like drama. I’ve never had drama in my life. I grew up with a great family and very protected. So I’m not used to that,” she told PEOPLE at the start of season 2. “I never even had a fight with my girlfriends ever. It’s so not me to be confrontational. If I meet someone and they rub me the wrong way, I just don’t engage from there on in.”

status update

wishes all the country music,
that she can't bring herself to delete,
would disappear from her Ipod.

If you ask me,

this is not exactly worthy of being called a mug-shot.

He looks like he's just come from the set of a
fabulous international spy movie -

who’s possibly had the unfortunate luck
of being captured and held hostage
in the sauna we call Florida.

How does this even happen?

I mean, if something's gonna go down

then at least buy a freakin' holster.

Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
