Though we’ve all heard that there are future employers, spouses, and murderers who are going to look us up on Facebook to stalk our past indiscretions, how many of us can truly say that our Facebooks are rated PG? While I remember myself painstakingly deleting every picture with the slightest reference of alcohol before I entered college, once I arrived at Michigan, it seemed that every person I knew was tagged in some sort of waterfall or beer pong picture. Slowly, I stopped being so anxious about what went up in my albums; a shot glass here, a beer bottle there, etc. Sure, I still de-tagged pictures of myself chugging bottles or double-fisting shots, but it never occurred to me that the mere mention of alcohol in an album would hurt my good name.
However, a couple of weeks ago I was presented with a problem when the advisor of my sorority came to me with pictures of me and my fellow sisters drinking in the house. While it is pretty easy to deny that you break the rules, it is hard to do so when you are presented with a picture of yourself mid-Smirnoff shot in your own room.
Though none of the pictures came from my own albums, I still found myself staring at my own face. These were pictures that were DE-TAGGED. Pictures that I had known were inappropriate, and had clicked the little button next to my name, the one that makes everything bad go away. I suppose when we all look at the pictures tagged of us and don’t see one, we forget that, despite not having our name, it still exists. Albums from August with pictures that I had forgotten existed were shown to me. While my first thought was, “Wow, this person needs a life if she is stalking pictures of me from 6 months ago,” my second one was “Well. This isn’t pretty.” Read More »
You know, I didn’t really think there was a substantial amount of damage to survey this Thanksgiving on the Upper-East Side. In fact, tonight’s Gossip Girl episode was more like a slice of pumpkin pie than a carving station. Even Nate’s dad getting handcuffed and taken to jail was quite the heartfelt moment, as far as FBI’s most wanted list goes. Oops, did I just ruin that plotline for you? Read More »
You know, usually I totally love me some Japanimation.
I'm not big into cartoons for adults, but you gotta admit that some of the stuff they do is downright crazy. Totally LSD-infused and straight up weird.
And every once in a while, I love me some bubblegum pop music, too. I'm not afraid to say that I turn on some Britney Spears before a night on the town. Electronic voices, heavy breathing, hooks that burn themselves into your brain forever...it's all good.
But apparently, Japanimation and Britney Spears together equals boring confusion.
Brit's new video for "Break the Ice" is totally animated, but besides the one line the lead character (who's supposed to be her, I guess. But I mean...who are we kidding?) lip-syncs, the animation and the song look like some 12-year-old made a YouTube fan video of their favorite cartoon. I mean, the sh*t doesn't add up. Brit's music is anything but edgy -- and the weird, sci-fi spy Japanimation is definitely out there.
I don't know. Take a look. Maybe you think the synergy is perfect.
As for me, I'm still not convinced Ms. Spears will ever have that comeback.
