For many wondering what Christine did for her birthday… here is an exclusive.. she was seen partying at a prestigious topless bakery in Hollywood with new b.f.f. K-Fed.

It is reported he gave her a twinkie, two Okie hats and an autograph photo he still had of Britney.

VIRUSES

Okay viruses can ruin your day especially when the computer you gunk up is your work computer.

And the worst thing is when you did it while looking up the nerdiest thing most can fathom… explanations from a SCI-Fi show.

My day will be tragically lame today because the only website I can see is yahoo (not search though) and Viciously Sweet. Yay!  Now I know how prisoners with pen and paper feel. Every other site sends a myriad of pop-ups, all which are about advertising or net flicks… neither which I want.

WELCOME TO MY INTERNET HELL:

THIS IS BASICALLY ALL I CAN SEE ONLINE... BUT FEEL FREE TO ALSO LEARN ABOUT YAHOOS EASY TO MAKE FOODS :)

90s Music Videos: The Plotless ones

There is honestly nothing better than better than 90’s music videos. Mostly because music videos died a miserable death after 2002, due to reality television. Yes I am so blaming Jessica Simpson for this!  Why 90s videos??? Because I love the shear amounts of nothing that happens in them, the celebration of the mundane. There is no story line of Fergie becoming the flossy flossy, and no Avril pretending to be a badass.

Most importantly they show actual musicians, trying to interest you…  musicians so inticing they don’t have to stoop to a writhing on the floor to get you to listen, all they really have to do is sing at you.

I give you the best plotless videos of the 90s (sorry some won’t let me embed them):

First Music Video: Live- Dolphin’s Cry

Chosen because this video involves a very intense bald guy, a whole lot of water, and no plot.

 Second Video: Vertical Horizon-Everything You Want

 

This video is everything you could want in a 90s video… 4 minutes of nothing, with a few flashing messages. My favorite part is when he’s singing to the girl on the bench that is filing her nails.

 

Third Video: Lisa Loeb- Stay

I picked this because they play this in Reality Bites, and as those who borrow my DVD and make it all gummy know, I really adore this movie. This video was directed by Ethan Hawke. He directed her to walk and sing, which may have been more complicated because she had to look melancholy, and there was also a cat involved.

 

Fourth: U2- The Sweetest Thing

This one I suppose has a plot. But it’s kinda creepy. Get to about 2:30 in the video and ask yourself about those firefighters… shouldn’t they be doing something better???

 

Video Cinco:  Duncan Sheik – Barely Breathing

 

I must admit I was briefly in love with Duncan Sheik when this video came out. I picked this video because he’s singing at some girl, playing his guitar and rubbing his face against a window.. because I assume he cannot find air. That is pretty much the whole music video, I also love the splashes of color, it screams I’m so indifferent even though the world is bright and cheerful.

 

Sixth Video: the Goo Goo Dolls- Name

Location is everything when your music video is this scattered and 90’s, enjoy the montage of John Rzeznik, a girl in a park, some peeps on a bus, and some architectural landmarks. I like how every indie/alternative guy had that hair, remember the aforementioned Ethan Hawke…

 ethan-hawke

 

he had eerily simlar hair…..

 

Seventh Video Pick: Green Day- When I Come Around

I love the isolation in this music video. It’s so Californian that it hurts. The spying upon other people is reminiscent to me of Woodbury… but I wonder if it is because all the people who were attending the Bury at the time were products of 1990’s entertainment. I also like Green Day dressed like dudes, not like they’re going to a funeral for a drag queen.

 

Eighth Video: Natalie Imbruglia- Torn

What happened to the Lillith Fair women anyway????

 

Ninth Video: Beck- Where it’s At

Because “Loser” wasn’t a masterpiece of 1990’s videos like this one was…plain and simple this music video makes me forget that Justin Timberlake and My Chemical Romance has ever existed, thanks Beck.

 

Tenth Video: any 90’s video by Matchbox Twenty

This one wins the “Did Anything Relevant Happen in the last 3 Minutes” award.. what do you think???

 

** only watch this one if you are brave because it’s the lamest plotless song of the 90’s according to me.

 

ENJOY!

Elder Lovin’

It has been known for quite some time that Christine has had a penchant for the elderly. She was the only girl at St. Lucy’s with a pin-up of Dave Foley… if you know what I mean.

It was only recently that we found out the true scope of her old man passions…

The truth is more than mildy horrifying.

Alternate Career Paths pt. 8

Many years ago Steven was a young child, a child with a penchant for porcupines.

When he was but a tot, he would fervently watch nature shows seeing the likes of Jack Hanna frolicking with animal friends. This was far too tame for young Steven, who felt the grips of adventure every time he saw a possum.

And then one day Steven saw the Crocodile Hunter, and his life changed. He realized that he could have an action show, a peculiar accent, and even better action figures that would come with a tiny little porcupine.

That is when in his dreams Steven became…. THE PORCUPINE COLLECTOR!

Steven would attach pine needles to dogs and large cats and pretend his dream was a reality.

However, on the eve of his 13th birthday Steven encountered a porcupine and broke out into a rash… it turns out he had a porcupine allergy. With his starry-eyed dreams destroyed in its prime, Steven gave up being a nature show host.

Here’s what may have been…

Isabel Fun Facts!

My wrist is still red and green like a Christmas Miracle…

So as Promised here’s something different…

Our Favorite Isabel I call this segment Isabel Fun Facts:

In the early Millenium Isabel liked to participate in the Odor Olympics here she is with celebrity judge Adam Sandler in the under arm (brad) pit event…

go for the gold isabel!

She won the silver medal due to her momentary freeze in the smelly and sticky event where she saw her opponent lather themselves in pistachio ice cream and barbeque sauce.

ENJOY CLAY & ISABEL… A LOVE THAT HAS LASTED A LIFETIME!
