I stayed in last night (I'll wait while your surprise wears off) and watched the last half hour of the Mtv Movie Awards. I used to live for this show, but as I watched this year I found myself confused and realized that I just don't get it. I don't get the cool 'inside jokes' featured. OK, Sacha Baron Cohen dropping out of the sky and landing on Emenim was hilarious, Forrest Whittaker singing "Dick in Box" like "La Bohem" was very original, and the girls from My Sister's Keeper referring to Cameron Diaz's work as "Adult Films" made me chuckle (PS...wasn't there some controversy a few years back because Diaz WAS in an adult film? I know I'm not making that up). But the musical acts were good, but I'm not all to familiar with them, and the quips that the stars shared with each other and their fans I didn't get.
When did I get so old? I remember rolling my eyes when my mom didn't get Fartman, or when Jim Carrey donned a ZZ Top-esque wig and beard and announced that there needed to be more Foghat. It made me a little sad. I liked Twilight (kinda), so I was excited by the premiere of the New Moon preview, and I *heart* Andy Samburg, so his little digital spoofs made me happy. But I don't get the Miley Cyrus thing, or the High School Musical thing. I don't think I ever will. I thought that just meant that I had taste, but it's an apparent sign that I'm getting older.
I got a little teary when Denzel Washington came out with his daughter to announce an award because his costar (my beloved, John) just couldn't do it. I was more upset by his absence than whoever won that award. I'm definitely loosing touch with the cool side of me.
I guess I could always don my emo-goth look and go with Bea to a My Chemical Romance concert to get in touch with my youth, but like I said "I have taste" and I'm fairly certain that concert would do more to throw me back to my rock 'n roll and 80's ballads more than anything else. Any ideas?

Marry, Cliff, Shag -- Round One
You know what game I love? Marry, Cliff, Shag. Everyone should play this game. It is EXCELLENT for road trips, long lines at the grocery store (Hey, play it with people in line around you. Guaranteed good times!) and being stuck at the airport. For those who have never played (I'm so sad for you!), here are the rules: Of the three choices given, you must choose to marry one, shag one and toss the other off a cliff. Simple, easy, HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT.
So, let's play! Let's get some Marry, Cliff, Shag up in this bitch! I'll call out a few regular blog readers with choices, but if you challenge me (Or Mame!) in the comments, we shall challenge back! You can use celebrities, fictional characters, politicians, historical figures, whatever you like! If it would be more fun, feel free to explain your reasoning. I once won a particularly memorable round with Mame and her husband Beau when I chose to shag Tucker Carlson, cliff Newt Gingrich and marry Bill O'Reilly so that I could make every day of his life a living hell. Now THAT was a good game!
Here we go:
Mame -- Marry, Cliff, Shag: John Travola, Leland Chapman, Paul Rudd
Two of Hearts -- Marry, Cliff, Shag: All V.C. Andrews "heroes:" Christopher from Flowers in the Attic, Jimmy from Dawn, Arden from My Sweet Audrina
Sorcha -- Marry, Cliff, Shag: Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, James Marsden (It's the all X-Men round!)
EGT -- Marry, Cliff, Shag: the Top Gear boys: Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, James May (With current hair, as that may influence your decision)
Anyone and everyone who wants to play, take it to the comments!

In Honor (Honour) of our Bicenntenial Blog Entry - - WHICH BEA HAS NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE WAY
To honor our 201st blog entry, I've decided to post an entry to let all our gentle readers know a little bit more about me. I'd offer for the Lady Bea to do the same, yet seeing as the proverbial ball of our FITA challenge is still in her court, and seeing as she has yet to acknowledge our 200th blog, she probably won't. Now I shall lay that guilt trip aside, and move on to the challenge at hand.
Here's how it works: You are supposed to write a note with 10 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you, so here it goes: 10 random things about Auntie Mame.
Here's how it works: You are supposed to write a note with 10 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you, so here it goes: 10 random things about Auntie Mame.
- I have an obsession with John Travolta. I own his shoes, a scrapbook of pictures that I collected as a kid, all kinds of stuff. When other little girls were swooning over Leonardo DiCaprio in Tiger Beat, I was clipping out pictures from Reader's Digest of John.
- My favorite movie of all time is Saturday Night Fever. Possibly because of my previously mentioned love of John Travolta, but in all seriousness I can relate to a lot of the movie and the main characters.
- Whenever I get lonely for the "good old days" I listen to the soundtrack of Empire Records, Counting Crows August and Everything After, Gin Blossoms New Miserable Experience and Alanis Morresette's Jagged Little Pill. Each of those CDs, in entirety, remind me of very special days in my teenage years.
- I could eat bake at home pizza or Mexican food every day of the week and be perfectly happy for the rest of my life.
- The movie 40 Year Old Virgin rescued me from post-pardum depression. I watched it every day for weeks. I owe my sanity to Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell.
- I represent my three oldest, and best friends in my mind by three bands: Journey, Air Supply, and Chicago. They know which is which.
- The best job I have ever had was as a music manager at Borders. If I were to chose retail as a career, I could have stayed there forever. We had a great time.
- I have an obsession with stand up comedy. I can identify a comedian by a line from their bit, their physical description, or on of their appearances.
- I'm a fairly good artist. Mostly cartoonish stuff, but it's good! I make "movie posters" for all the stories that my students read.
- In junior high/high school I created a collage on my closet doors of favorite magazine clippings, quotes, pictures, etc. It was amazing! One night in a fit of rage after some boyfriend problems, I'm sure, I ripped it down. It took years to create. It's a big regret.

50 Questions about Mame or Why I Am Easily Led and Will Probably End Up In a Damn Cult or Something
First, Mame and I are still accepting challenges for blog topics! EGT, I'm totally ruminating on your Doctor Who entry. I got to thinking about power dynamics in the series and now I'm all over the place! I was just going to talk about The Pretty! And Evil Stepmother? BRING IT LADY! Hee. And now for something completely different...

48) Describe your BFF in one word: Kind

Celebrity Boyfriends…or why most people are amazed to find out I am married.
I love John Travolta. Honestly. I have since he was Vinnie Bobarino in Welcome Back Kotter. This is the first in a line of many, many celebrities that I have pictured marrying and having a life with although the very first was John Travolta, an obsession that lasts even to this day. My husband knows that I would drop him in a hot minute if Travolta showed up at my door.
My second love died; Jonathan Brandis was a god in my world from about 13 until - - well let’s just say well beyond the ‘normal’ age of realizing that you’re too old for a celebrity boyfriend. At 14 I had my first real life boyfriend (aw, “big lips boy”) but Jonathan remained plastered on my walls and heart. At 16, my brother-in-law made fun of me for having so many pictures up of ‘the guy from SeaQuest DSV, so I took them down – and put them on the inside of my closet.
Lady Bea and I have long winded conversations about “what things would be like” were we to marry/be with one of our many loves. It’s never sexual in nature, just living with these people and (at times) being their ‘voice of reason.’
Here is an example of a typical conversation:
Mame: Alec [Baldwin] and I are no longer talking.
Bea: Because of this whole voicemail thing?
Mame: No, I knew he was crazy when we first fell in love.
Bea: Oh, because of the whole wanting-to-leave-30 Rock thing.
Mame: Exactly.
Bea: I’m glad that you knew he was crazy to begin with. But I’d be afraid of Kim, that was a messy divorce, she might come after you.
Mame: I’m not worried. I’ll sit my ass down behind the bulletproof glass of the bay window at the front our house drinking martinis while Kim throws a fit in the driveway because I can love Alec in a way that she couldn’t.
Bea: Haha. Wait, why is there bulletproof glass in your and Alec’s home?
Mame: Because I think he and I would have some terrific fights.
Bea: Way to think ahead.
Here is a (to date) list of celebrities that I fantasize having a life with:
- John Travolta
- Alec Baldwin
- Leland Chapman (the son of Dog the Bounty Hunter. The one with the long hair, good GOD he is adorable)
- Luke Wilson (the one without the f’ed up nose)
- Jake Gyllenhall
- Orlando Bloom (but only with the blond wig from Lord of the Rings)
- Jonathan Brandis (I don’t care if he’s dead now, I could have saved him dammit!)
- Chris Farley (see above)
- Rudolph Valentino (good God, his acting, his EYES…dude…)
- Jay Mewes (of Jay and Silent Bob fame)

I’ve just about had it with this whole Don Imus nonsense.
So far today, I’ve gone on msn.com, yahoo.com, and even imdb.com for my routine news reports (that's right, imdb is one of my news sources) and each page had over three articles about this guy. Don’t you all see? By creating this much publicity surrounding him you are doing the exact opposite of whatever your good intentions are – you are empowering him!
If you’ve lived under a rock since the women’s basketball championship, and thus have no idea what I am talking about – stop reading now and go to one of the aforementioned websites; they will tell you everything you need to know - - I refuse to indulge in this story. However, after a discussion with my inner-city youth classroom I would like to say the following:
I love free speech. I love banned books. I love the idea that people in this country can express themselves and do not have to worry about being killed or maimed as a result. I also am a firm believer in the idea that your freedoms end where mine begin.
Having said all this, I was recently called on the carpet to explain how I felt about this whole Don Imus issue and discovered that I was at war with myself over what to say. Was I angry that this radio non-DJ whom I’ve never listened to, for being an absurd racist? Did I choose to not care because I have the choice to not listen to him and therefore he has the choice to say whatever he feels like?
Then I did what I am afraid most Americans of my age today do not do: I did some research before opening my mouth. I did not go to yahoo.com, msn.com, or imdb.com this time; however, I read various in print articles from a variety of newspapers and magazines (I tend to put more faith in the paper written word than the typed even though that is my now choice of expression - this is also not the first time that I have been a hypocrite to myself).
Turns out this guy pulls this kind of nonsense all the time. His producer has been fired twice for making racist or otherwise inappropriate comments and each time was given a penalty and forced to make an on-air apology. After which, Mr. Imus would hire him back, thus finding the loophole in the FCC rules/policies. This makes me think that this rant about the Rutgers' girls wasn’t just something that fell out of his mouth (as he claimed in his FCC letter of apology) but something that he said in order to gain a response from his audience. Therefore he is perpetuating a cycle of not only racism and hate, but also of being sneaky and being above the rules. He knows that nothing can happen to him because nothing has before. He figured out the ways around his punishments.
He should be fired, not because of his statements - as I said before he is allowed to be an idiot just as I am allowed to love John Travolta with all my heart and soul: no one has the right to tell us we are wrong. But, if I find ways to get around the laws that protect my beloved Mr. Kotter alum, and begin to stalk him as I sometimes want to – I am wrong and need to be punished for it. So if this Imus guy finds ways to make racist and inappropriate comments and still remain on the air, at some point he needs be punished for it. Take away his method of feeling ‘above the rules’ and get him off the radio.
Am I making any sense here?
