About me: I am a 27 year old girl living in the giant playground that is New York City. I'm a newbie at this BLOG stuff, which sort of makes me a BABY (get it?) hence the name of this site. Forgive me.

*Well, at least one does.
A friend sent me this article, and I found it comforting to know that at least one dude out there isn’t pukey over the Twilight mania and the upcoming New Moon release. When I first heard of these books (and subsequent movies), I too dismissed them. I fancied myself too educated, too well-read, and too above these books to enjoy them. Then a friend forced the first chapter on me and it was over. I grudgingly joined the Twi-hards and became one of the annoying, screaming throng that will overwhelm movie theaters this weekend. And I’ve gotta admit, it’s pretty damn enjoyable.
The male perspective on the phenomenon (and some intersting soccer insight as well) here.
I didn’t post much last week…and I’m going to go ahead and blame it on the Heene family. If for no other reason than they’re big fat liars who wasted my entire day on Thursday. Here’s an update on them and other random news:
- Falcon Heene really messed up when he answered the question “Why didn’t you come out when people were calling your name?” by turning to his dad and saying “We did this for a show.” (41sec in) Realizing his blunder, he projectile vomited on both Today show and Good Morning America interviews on Friday. And if that weren’t fun enough, his parents are now looking at felony charges, jail time, whopping fines, and getting their house egged from now until the end of time. And they all lived happily ever after.
-European astronomers announced they have found at least 32 new planets right outside our solar system. Pluto weeps.
-If you didn’t see this video of a baby in a stroller falling on to subway tracks, getting run over, and surviving with barely a scratch…you probably didn’t turn on the TV once last week.
-Meghan McCain gets into trouble for posting her boobs a candid pic on twitter. I feel her pain as that’s totally what I look like when I bum around the apartment in a tank top and sweatpants too. Haters.
A bizarre halo cloud over Moscow gave many reason to believe that aliens were about to kill our asses last week. Millions saw the ominous cloud and many put up videos documenting it on youtube, sparking a frenzy of “Holy crap Independence Daywas RIGHT!” all over the internets.
Scientists are debunking the cloud as having any UFO affiliation…mainly because no one has been lasered to death yet.
“It’s a purely optical effect, even if a spectacular one. You can see really strange things if you watch the clouds regularly,” weather officials said. Yeah. Like ALIENS??!!
