Boy howdy, this has been kind of a sucky week–sucky enough to make me say things like “boy howdy,” even. I was fifteen minutes late to work on Monday because my bus got stopped on the toll road FOREVER, someone lost their balance on the Metro on the way home that night and clawed me in an attempt to regain their balance, and…well, let’s not finish that thought. It’s depressing.
Anyway, I’ve got a couple books to write up: Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, Janice Earlbaum’s Girlbomb, and Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods and In a Sunburned Country. But my brain is a little too fried right now, so instead I’m going to share something beautiful that I found on youtube last night:
Katy Perry, I Kissed a Girl
I refuse to get into the relative merits of this song, WHICH IS AWESOMELY HORRIBLE, BTW. But please check out the live version, where Katy Perry was wearing a dress so short that for the first twenty seconds or so it’s clear she had no idea how to dance without flashing her vagina. She finally managed it, but not before she did this weird shuffling that kind of made her look like she was about to wet her (nonexistent) pants. Also? At the very beginning of the video, she was trying to do the “Praise Jesus” cool arm wave thing, but it was more ”surreptitiously sniffing her armpit” than “accepting the due worship of her audience.”
BEST. PERFORMANCE. EVER.
You can thank me later. With your TEARS OF LAUGHTER. Or pain. You know, whichever.
