So this morning I woke up with Britney Spear's "Piece of Me" in my head. It was one of the songs on our party-mix. (Don't judge! The mix encompassed many genres.) We used my ipod for the party, and since I haven't quite gotten around to reorganising my music since I got a new one, we just erased everything and put the mix on there. So right now my ipod is totally unfamiliar to me. Very strange. So, anyways, I put on "piece of me" when I got on the tube, and right after it "lucky" came on (there are only 4 Brit songs on there out of almost 800) and it really made me sad. Look at the contrast between those two songs, which really deal with the same topic (celebrity) - I mean neither of them are necessarily positive, but "lucky" is more of a story that's pointing out that she needs real life too, and "piece" is a diatribe against all those who presecute her. They are saying similar things, but there's so much more anger in the later song. Sad.

And so. Real life instead of Britney songs? Um...

( For your sanity and friends pages I just cut the whole thing )

And now back to work. Some guy came in today who needs 2003-2007 filed. I'm almost done - one year to go! - so better get back to it.

Hello all.  It's the weekly TV Update - how very exciting!  Other than the shows contained here, I have been watching a lot of Arrested Development this week.  (I just got S1-3 from Amazon.)  It's been a year or so since I really watched it, and I am loving it!  It's seriously hilarious.  (Oxymoron?)  And every episode I watch makes me think of Cait and Kyle and the summer when we first saw it, so that's kind of cool.  I will always associate that show with the two of them.

In Brit TV news, the Jonathon Ross show was on crack this week.  It was absolutely out of control.  The guests were Janice Dickenson (CRAZY), John Barryman (crazy), Andrew Lloyd Webber (totally led on by the craziness of others), and Eddie Izzard (seeming very normal in comparison to all the crazy).  It was enjoyable, but strange.  And Jonathon had to do a lot of work to hold the guests down to normal, so he was somewhat busy the entire time.  I wouldn't want it to be like that every week, but it was certainly interesting to watch.

Ok, US TV!!

Aw - goodbye to Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls all in one post.  It's so sad!

First of all, at the request of Scotto-san, I post his joke of the day:

Q: Why did the cow wear a bell?  (answer next time – I like to keep your lives exciting!)

And now a TV update on my “American shows”.  I meant to post this days ago, but at least I’m still ahead (just barely) of the new episodes airing.
