my brain is a bit addled from running outside in the 100 degree weather a lot lately, so forgive my scattershot thoughts.
(1) is it 100% wrong that since hayden panettiere turned 18 today, she is about to be added to my top five list? i haven't made up my mind yet if that is too creepy, so prior to her inclusion, my list looks like this (in no particular order):
- charlize theron
- jennifer connelly
- scarlett johansson
- jessica alba
- eliza dushku
if hayden does make her way on the list, she'd bump eliza. however, i fear her (hayden's) window of hotness is small, which is one of the criteria in being on the list. one's hotness must be sustainable. hayden could easily be the next lindsay "cokewhore" lohan or britney "swamp trash" spears if she's not careful.
(2) one thing i'm fucking sick of hearing is regular people talking about when an album is going to "drop". shut the fuck up, mr. (or mrs., or miss, or even ms.) too-cool-for-school. unless you're actually in the record business, albums don't "drop", they're released or even "come out". p diddy, you're not.
this is actually a smaller symptom of a larger pretentious trend of trying to sound cool by assuming the lingo of a "cool" group or, in this case, an entire industry. a lot of times you'll hear guys refer to thousand dollar increments of cash as "large" after they watch a mob movie or the sopranos. e.g. "i just lost five large on the yankee game when a-rod booted that grounder in the 9th". hey lucky luciano, you're not fooling anyone; you'd probably piss yourself and faint if you watched some guy get his thumbs broken.
(3) at my place of work, we have business casual dress. can anyone explain to me how bright blue capri pants and flip flops = business casual? here's a quick check for you; if you could wear your clothes to a scrapbooking party (event? gathering?) or not feel overdressed at walmart, it's probably not work appropriate, even using the most flexible definition of business casual.
