"non-traditional student," writer, professional tv watcher, pop culture addict, internet enthusiast. this is basically my public diary and a place for me to post my current obsessions. so, a lot of it is just pretty mundane stuff.
One more and then I promise to get back to work. The moment when Bigelow looks at the three actors and they give each other this OMG!!!! look is just killing me. You have to click through to watch it, because this stupid website won’t let me embed it.
"I think in some ways the Internet and its vast anonymity feeds into a culture where many people do not think about the people, the families, the careers that go into producing a website. People talk about how annoying advertisments are, but I’ll tell you what: it’s a lot more annoying and frustrating to have to cut staff and cut benefits because a huge portion of readers block ads."
It’s great that Steve broke a bunch of news last night about the Pentagon shooter, but I felt it was time to bring MediaElites to my level… my reality television level.
"It’s amazing how quickly you embrace becoming an old. I’m only 27 and I am already too through with the youth. I don’t know any of these Ke$ha songs and I don’t even know what number MTV is on the cable box anymore and there is just too much ENTHUSIASM about EVERYTHING. Everything is not the best thing. Everything is not epic. I go out to bars and I am beyond annoyed at drunk kids. QUIET THE FUCK DOWN WOULD YOU? God, I’m trying to listen to “Straight Up” on the jukebox!"
"laura! - in regards to your previous comment, actually, if you could take a few minutes and explain to myself and the other people who were offended what there is to get about this post/video I would be very happy. I don’t think that you understand that vegan men get more than enough shit from the omni community, particularly other men. It would be nice if our sisters could be solid with us rather than telling us that we are stinking up their yoga classes. Regardless of how you feel about it, veganism and vegetarianism are perceived by many omnis as feminine, so vegan men are already fighting not only the typical anti-veg rhetoric, but get alot of comments about tofu, estrogen, etc… could we not get more of the same from a vegan blog of all places? But, if you honestly stand by this post and think that its harmless and funny, then I guess this isn’t the place for people like me. My earlier post is pretty caustic, I’ll admit, but the post is actually satire, unlike the video, which seems like some personal issues being unfairly projected to others. Which is fine. But I didn’t think vegansaurus was the type of place to reblog content like that."

and here i thought vegan men lacked aggression b/c of ALL THAT TOFU AND ESTROGEN RUNNING THROUGH THEIR VEINS.
anyway, cute girl posts cute joke song, a few vegan dudes freak the fuck out. relax and have a tofu dog, baby!
I remind you’uns what is inclined: MediaElites has a fine new suit of clothes, thanks to Brian Van, and we could use some contributorship. The link above will tell you what you need to do to come write for us. You can also e-mail me: steve [at] mediaelites.com.
A delightful video from the genius behind It’sFaturday and frequentVegansaurus contributor, Abby! This song about vegan boys being the worst is THE BEST, I am in love with it.
My favorite parts:
- I don’t like you! Just your values!
and
- Stop showing up to my bikram class, I don’t want to see your sweaty vegan ass!
UGH SO GOOD.
Abby issues a disclaimer with the video, “I‘m vegan! I like vegans (mostly)! But what’s up, dudes? (Hey, it’s a satire-ish, so don’t get your panties in an uproar, my little herbivores.)”
So everyone calm down and I triple dog dare you to not be singing, “I’m a vegan! You’re a vegan! But Vegansexual is not a real word!” over and over again by lunch. Hell, I’ve been singing it to my vegan boyfriend for a couple days now, HE LOVES IT!
Speaking of Vegansexuals, Maria has a story about one in a real (soon to be) printed and published book! It’s too late to invest in it now but when it comes out, you need to buy it and laugh and laugh.
