Guess what I saw on the pavement the other day. WHITE DOG POO! "Good lord," thought I. "I know there's a 1980s revival going on, but some people are really taking it TOO FAR!"
But I was wrong. The white dog poo artists (that's what they are, let me believe it, don't spoil it for me) weren't going far enough - as this fabulous video shows.
It "mashes up" (that's a very futuristic term, isn't it? I might try using it again, after I've partied like it's 1999) dance footage from seminal 1980s bratpack movies Footloose, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club and Mannequin and puts it all to the lovely strains of Lisztomania by Phoenix.
Hurrah for the 1980s! Now, make me a SodaStream, would you? I've got to finish this Rubik's Cube and iron my ra-ra skirt before Miami Vice comes on.
Dollhouse, the new series from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, premieres in the UK on Tuesday 19th May, on the Sci-Fi Channel.
Complex, dark and witty, it stars ex-vampire slayer Eliza Dushku (Faith from Buffy), and raises questions about identity, morality and technology (and - this being a Joss Whedon show - there's no shortage of ass-kicking ladies, either).
But will you be watching? Follow us over the jump to watch the trailer and decide.
Our little experiment with Briony's sister's Flip Mino was highly successful until it came to actually uploading our mini-masterpieces. Something about corrupt .AVI's and I guess my general lack of new-media nous. UGH.
Meanwhile, It's Friday lunchtime, I've been hanging out at the Comic Relief offices (incongruously next door to M16 - I saw a man with a gun!) and have just found out some momentous news from an old friend, through Twitter of all channels. Life 2.0.
We have a couple of actually-quite-funny-if-I-say-so-myself videos to go up later which I will do when I'm not on the world's slowest laptop, so as much as this is technically our last working day of Dollymixin', do check back for LOLs later on.
Funny men. They're killer, aren't they? It doesn't really matter what a man looks like, as long as he can make you laugh. Popular culture dictates that I'm not alone in this view, given the ever-growing popularity of Judd Apatow and gang, AKA the Jew Crew, which now includes Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd and Danny McBride, and on older and younger fringes, Steve Carrell, John C Reilly, Will Farrell, and Michael Cera.
Now, don't get me wrong - these men aren't ugly. They're just average looking, played down as unattractive because they're viewed through the eyes of Hollywood. Fair enough, they're not George Clooney, but by my reckoning, this is exactly why they're so popular in the first place.
If a man on the telly, or in a film, seems too attractive (much as in real life), I think the chances of engaging with them to the extent you actually develop a proper interest in them is fairly limited. To illustrate this with the aid of an academic underpinning, let us take this (very scientific and logically sound) equation:
If X, then Y (If a man is a beautiful Hollywood star, then he will reject you) X (George Clooney is a beautiful Hollywood star)
Therefore, it logically follows that, Y (George Clooney will reject you)
A great website for when your not too sure what to send someone for a birthday, anniversary or any other event you would usually send a card for. What with e-mails being a bit impersonal and actual cards damaging the environment Jib Jab is the solution!
Better than those crappy e-cards and things like moonpig. Jib Jab puts your face (or anyones face that you choose to upload) onto inspired backgrounds that dance around and are sure to cause a chuckle! have fun playing girls!
I wish I had the presence of mind to write decent, timely end-of-year review blog posts.
But I don't.
Somehow, despite my best intentions, December is a very solipsistic month where I'm constantly rushing to catch up with social events, gift-buying, and errant scraps of wrapping paper.
The closest I come to annual hindsight during December is the feverish counting up of my remaining days of leave.
This year I managed a vague letter to 2008, but the authors of the blogs I regularly read have examined the past year with far keener eyes and much better penmanship.
So please allow me to share with you my personal top 5 blogs reviewing 2008.
The first of January is always a slow news day (one of the main media stories on The Guardian is that Shooting Stars was watched by 3m people), but apparently Norway and UK housewives have been busy.
Happy Christmas Eve! But how much do you really know about the story of Christmas?
Was Joseph a carpenter, a roadie for The Carpenters, or a car painter?
Did the three wise men come from the east, the West End, or Orientar?
The brilliant 'Tis the Season quiz was put together by blogging superstar sisters Meg and Anna Pickard, and is something of a UK blog tradition.
So go and get yourself some eggnog, and joiiiin uuuuus.
There are no prizes except for that warm glowy feeling inside. Although if it starts to burn it's probably indigestion and you should get some Rennie down you quick smart...
Be honest. How many times have you Googled your symptoms? How many times have you anxiously tapped away on your computer, half-convinced you have gout, diphtheria or skin cancer? And how many times has it turned out to be a pulled muscle, a cold, a or spot?
You're not alone. In fact, so many people use the internet as a diagnostic resource that the practice now has a name - cyberchondria (more after the jump).
