Watching the Grammys With Nadine

Two things I have missed lately:

1. Chilling at home.
2. Writing down Nadine's funny quotes.

Tonight has been the perfect remedy. Grammy Awards, me in my pj's, Nadine & Matt on the other couch. Then, me and Nadine and our laptops. Enjoy.


(on Foo Fighters)
"Why am I all nostalgic about Dave Grohl? I feel like he was my kindergarten crush or something."


(unrelated conversation)
me: "I told him I have two dreams in life... to have dreads and to have a nose piercing."

her: "If those are your only dreams in life, you could make ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE TOMORROW. Like, after work!"

(on Adam Levine)
Nadine: "That's a bit of a manipulative outfit. Vest and rolled up sleeves?"
Matt: "So, no one's allowed to wear a vest anymore?"
Nadine: "Well, they CAN, but if they ever ask anything of a woman, she WILL say yes. So if you ever want me to do anything for you, put on a vest and roll up your sleeves."

"John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) went on tour with the Beach Boys. He's in their video for Kokomo. That's why Beach Boys guest starred on Full House so often."

"I feel like the Beach Boys are a precursor to Hanson. (pause) Hanson has more soul..."

Nadine: "Paul McCarntey is the only man my mom and I could share as a crush."
Matt: "Wow."

(on Taylor Swift)
"That's kind of how I wore my hair at the Hanson concert! And it was falling out like that too. I was so trendy."

(on Katy Perry)
"Is this a post-divorce anthem? It sounds like an 'F-you Russell Brand' song...She's trying to be tough. Where's the cuteness?"

(on Jennifer Hudson)
"She has an amazing voice. The fact that she came in fifth [seventh] on American Idol is evidence that people are stupid."

(on Nikki Minaj)
her:
me:


Then, bed.

The ROM, The Earth & Procreation

Disclaimer: This post is intended to generate discussion and a sharing of many opinions. It is NOT intended to judge or condemn anyone's life choices. I had an unexpected moment at the ROM last month. C and I were listening to a presentation for kids on wildlife conservation (or rather, I was listening, and C was eagerly anticipating what live animal would come out next), when a statement caught my attention and still hasn't let go. For most of history, the earth could provide enough resources for the earth's human population. But today, our population is growing rapidly, increasing by 250 000 people every day... Forty years from now, it will require 2 Earths to provide sustainably for our survival as a human species. But we only have 1 Earth. 250 000 people. Every day. That is roughly twice the size of my hometown. In one day. So I did a little math. (First, I rounded down to 200 000, just in case the figures were inflated or failed to account for some sort o...

Women And Our Ways: Intro

Last summer, I started writing a blog entry that I never finished. There are several like that, actually. This particular one starts out: If you are male, you probably don't want to read this entry. I mean it. If you were grossed out by my entry on placenta lasagna , didn't understand the problematic tea commercial , or were surprised by my thoughts on the curse of Aunt Irma , this one is bigger, badder, and more bold. I'm going for broke. I've been meaning to write this girls-only series ever since. But then I realized that I want to write a series that may frighten or surprise men, but is not meant to exclude them. Then I thought that maybe I don't want to do that, as it will stir up controversy and I will be misunderstood and I will unintentionally offend both men and women and I will write about things that don't often get talked about. But I think I'm willing to risk it. Titles in the series Women and Our Ways may include: The Mo...

Sunday Starters

I'm not sure if I'm going to keep up with a different 'theme' for blogging every day. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I hate it. But what I do know is that Sundays are no longer Fundays. (well, in reality, I'm sure they still will be). Instead, I want to do this: I start a sentence, and we all fill it in. However we want. There is only one rule: You have to play the game too. Example: Happiness is... ...a warm puppy ...time with my family ...a myth ...knowing that in the end, he/she's got my back. ...impossible to pin down. This week's starter: When I was six, I thought...
