After last weeks performance by David Hasselhoff on finale of America’s Got Talent (a.k.a. X-Factor in the UK), I thought back to one of my favoriate Hoff performances, captured here (Sarah thinks he made this in his basement).
No, I don’t mean Drew, Mariah or even Jim. I am talking about local Hip-Hop Poet Marlon Carey (aka Inphynit).
Let me explain. Jay and I were out for a few drinks last week and stumbled/biked upon a poetry reading in the basement of the fabled Cantab lounge in Cambridge (the Cantab made an appearance in The Departed, I think). It turns out it was some event called the Boston Poetry Slam.
I paid the cover without noticing it was a poetry reading, and a room full of hipsters. We grabbed a beer and sat down, trying not to make too much noise with our clanking messenger bags (friggen seatbelt-style buckle) still attached to our backs. Carey hit the stage and started belting the words. We were really impressed. He had great flow as he went through his set. I talked to him afterward and even bought a CD.
The next day, when the nightly fog wore off, I listened to the CD and found he really is good, really.
There isn’t too much of him on the internets, but I did find this YouTube video.
I really like three of the poems on his CD “There Is No Plan, Be”: The Bra Song, P Poem and Dorchester. I don’t know if you can get a copy, but I’ll post up an MP3 or something…someday, maybe.
Yes, I said it. Drunken Lego. Don’t believe me? See here:
Here’s what you need: Cleaning products that don’t have phosphates, don’t have harsh chemicals that make your lungs burn (I seriously think I did some damage with the shit I’ve been using), don’t test on animals, come in recycled packaging, have no animal products (other than beeswax-oh boo hoo poor bees-who gives a shit about those stinging bastards anyway, really) and supposedly smell good and work well too. Sounds like a miracle for us tree huggers doesn’t it? I’m impressed even if you’re not anyway and I’m gonna get me some. Two sister companies, Mrs. Meyers and Caldrea have some good stuff. Their packaging is even cute and for the looks-obsessed that is important damn it! See here:
How cute. I know, like OMG. Caldrea goes for the shishi look and Mrs. Meyers is just soaked in kitcsh. Take your pick. Both have very similar products with different scents. Shoot your wad (or spend it, maybe that would be nicer) at www.mrsmeyers.com or www.caldrea.com. Caldrea has carriers in Canada, Mrs. Meyers does not. There we go being inferior again, eh? Anyway, these mofos have laundry detergent even! They have everything. Never get bleach eye stinging, skin blistering, lungs begging for mercy again! Whoo hoo! I would much rather kill myself with cigarettes and alcohol than something as lame as harsh cleaning products and I’m sure you would too. Get shopping domestic slaves…
I’m sure you all have been using it for years now, but I have recently (re)discovered Pandora. I still have my last.fm account, but found that the quality isn’t as good (last.fm is from the UK).
A little pregnancy breast and BOOOM! she’s totally hot. Very impressive. Oh too be skinny and still have those…
On the other hand, there is this:
Sweet Jesus, you could feed the starving in Africa with those monsters! My back aches just looking at this. That is a whole lotta woman. I know she is prego and that is beautiful and all that….yadayadayada
So i am again watching Big Brother - i don’t think i’ve written anything about this season yet though. Only a couple weeks left and i don’t want it to end. I’m going to include with this post the pictures of my fav housemates- the twins (sam and amanda or samanda as they are known now) and liam (eek so hot)
Anyway thanks to the twins i have some new vocab- defo (definatly) and cringe (cringe)
Here is a cute montage clip of the twins and their awesomeness from big brother on the couch
Just thought i would let you guys know this information because i’m sure i will bring it up on my visit- the show will have ended by then so it won’t be that bad
Twinies to win!!!!!
Joel McPhail!!!!! He did a little stint on the home shopping network. I stay away from that trash, but if he’s on there I might just consider spending some time with the white trash mall that is HSN. That crystal penguin figurine would look so good in my trailer, don’t you think Bernice?

I love the Lindsay Lohan comment haha. And how dare they mention that Joel has a wife, how dare they! I’ll have to go to my happy place now since Joel and I are destined to only be best friends and not lovers as we are both taken. Cue the hopeless sigh.
