What About Us?...

Currently Listening to:

Earth Song by Michael Jackson

Watching the Grammys? Here in Seattle, the tribute performance of Michael Jackson's Earth Song just played. All the artists were really moving; Carrie Underwood's country voice was soulful and of course Usher's vocals were amazing. But what I thought was especially touching was the bit at the end where Prince Michael and Paris spoke about their father and said that "throughout his songs, his message was simple: love." Their outfits, in honor of their father, were adorable with the red armband and red stripes down their black pants.

The fact that it was in 3D was cool (we tried to use our 3D glasses from Avatar in 3D but it was the traditional red and blue glasses kind so that didn't work...).

Definitely my favorite part of the Grammys so far. Of course, it isn't over yet and I can never get too much of Michael Jackson [well, I haven't so far].

Be back with more Grammy talk (especially the red carpet outfits!)

I'm Your Biggest Fan...

Paparazzi by Lady Gaga ¹

Kathy Griffin was HILARIOUS.

I have to start by saying that I admire Kathy's ability to do THAT every night. She had so much energy and enthusiasm and she played the crowd amazingly well. I got tired just watching her perform. If you've seen her show "My Life on the D-List", you know that she holds nothing back and is constantly shocking everyone.

During her stand up routine on Friday night she joked to the crowd, "I'm not a political comedian but I'm so far left I'm not even a Democrat".

One of my favorite things about Kathy is that she says all the things that aren't supposed to be said, and she says them with confidence. Who else is going to make fun of Oprah or whole boards of television networks? Of course, I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of her acidic punchlines but part of being a celebrity is being able to take the hits in stride. So Kathy, I applaud you for shocking America with your offensive comments.

And, of course, all her gays were there. Ah, best night ever.

I love Seattle, how could I ever leave this place?

¹: Why did I choose this song. Well first off, Miss Griffin loves the paparazzi (as seen below). Second, I want her psycho. And third, she played this song as her entrance and exit music on stage. I think it just embodies her whole persona, no?

Kathy at her finest. She really hams it up for the paparazzi. This 17 year old loves her! (:

Quick Update:

Thank God it's Friday!
I'm going to see Kathy Griffin tonight at the Paramount in Seattle. Can't wait to see what kinds of offensive things she says!

I Found a Dream...

Currently Listening to:

At Last by Etta James¹

"I found a dream that I could speak to..."

Movies. Film. Film Club. I want to start one at school.

I want to start a film club and I want to go to film school. I go on to collegeboard.com every day and look for colleges that have film schools. I think I might be that much closer to figuring this out.

Key piece of the puzzle: FILM.

P.S. I'm seeing Kathy Griffin at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on Friday. I have floor seats. I'm so excited. She is so crass and in your face, a no holds barred kind of gal. The tickets were a Christmas gift. THANK YOU, MOM.
¹: I decided to link the song this time to a youtube singer. Please check her out, she is really good and I'm subscribed to her! Her channel is "BrookesAstar". Also, I realize the song itself is a little dramatic in the context I am using it but you have to understand; realizing how much film means to mean and how much I want to make it part of my life makes me so happy. I've been trying to figure out what I like and now I have something that I could be passionate about. Yay.
