“I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It’s been about two months since I’ve worked out. And I just don’t have the time. Which uh…is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh…and watch tv. And get a bone density test. And uh…try to figure out what my phone number spells in words.” –Ellen DeGeneres
I’ve been a big T-Pain fan for awhile (it has more to do with the fact that I am amazed at how he is featured in EVERY rap song and less about the music) and have recently become obsessed with the program Auto-tune, which he made famous and the Auto-tune the News guys made even better. It’s hilarious. I was going to write about it myself, but then stumbled across a clip of Ellen talking about it, and let’s face it– she’s funnier.
Happy Tuesday that feels like a Monday! Also, I’d like to give a bloggy birthday shout out to our recently-returned-from-Korea-practically-Korean correspondent, Alicia. Happy birfday, bebe!
Now I know all you Snuggsters are going to take issues with me on this one. But the Hawaii Chair informercial is WAY better than the Snuggie.
The “Oh my gosh! This is amazing!” girl…is she serious? Does she realize that she sounds like she’s…well, whatever. Honestly I could go on for ages about the hilariousness, but I’m going to let the master handle this one:
I believe I’ve mentioned this before, but when I’m bored doing work, I tend to spend a lot of time and money on iTunes. I was just suckered into buying like 300 Joshua Radin songs. I really, really love him. If you haven’t heard the song “The Fear You Won’t Fall,” you should probably find it and buy it right now. There’s not a good video of it online, and I refuse to not do it justice.
As a part of my Joshua binge, I Wikipedia-ed him and discovered that he and Zach Braff are good friends. Apparently Zach is kind of the reason he’s famous, because he got one of his songs to be on Scrubs. Isn’t that adorable? Sort of a Ben Affleck/Matt Damon-type story. Here’s a little photo of Joshua:
Another fun and adorable fact is that Joshua Radin played his song “Today” at Ellen and Portia de Rossi’s wedding. Apparently they turned down George Michael and Justine Timberlake and chose Joshua instead. Not to knock Joshua, but I don’t feel like that’s much of a competition when we’re talking about a wedding. “SexyBack” is not really my dream wedding song.
While I’m rambling, how much do you love Ellen? She is GREAT. I love how unabashedly awkward she is. The other day I was doing my laundry and watching her show, and I was literally glued to the television while holding my laundry basket because she was doing a skit where she went out with Paris Hilton and it was just HI-larious. Anyway.
So Joshua Radin. Love him. Here’s the newest song I’m playing on repeat. And the video was directed by Zach Braff:
Also, THE ELECTION IS TWO DAYS AWAY HOLY SHIIIIIIIT!!!
