Yeah, same here. RT @colsonwhitehead: I liked your other Twitter picture better, to be honest.
And a picture of us when I was around…12? Lordy, those glasses, lol. http://twitpic.com/vvr4s
My dad e-mailed me some old pics of my Coretta. My favorite: http://twitpic.com/vvq6x
Now I’m gonna re-watch S3 of Dawson’s Creek for my fave first kiss — Pacey & Joey. RT @instaboner: First kisses http://tinyurl.com/y8bmpat
Me too. RT @Charity4America: Ta-Nehisi is the kind of guy who writes posts where, occasionally, I end up crying in laughter and solidarity.
Can I redo today? Sigh.
My (parent’s) 20-year-old cat Coretta died today. Crying at my desk.
Puppy is good, tho, and it’s nice to have her in the office. :-) http://twitpic.com/vqxwf @sjean70
Grouchy.
RT @bloggingheads: Alyssa Rosenberg & @mattyglesias: The trouble with “best of” lists. video: http://bit.ly/BestOfList
RT @blackink12: RT @PostBourgie: RIP Percy Sutton. http://bit.ly/4uz031
RT @AdamSerwer: RT @TheRoot247: The Root: The Republican Right: Al-Qaeda’s Unwitting Hype Men? http://bit.ly/6OfqtA
Also? Musiq is the definition of mediocre. Average voice, beats, and lyrics. #yeahisaidit
Alright, looks like this is turning into another edition of Shani Skewers Popular 90s R&B Artists.
Why I love this guy: RT @GeeDee215: @shani_o why did all of Musiq’s songs titles read like hashtags?
Last thing…Toni Braxton’s ‘He Wasn’t Man Enough For Me.’ Most Overcompensating For One’s Insecurities song ever?
Or does that go to Chante, who lets us know, ad nauseam, that she’s got a man?
Grumble grumble. RT @aminatou: @shani_o skewer away but touch one tevin campbell song and it’s war!
Tevin Campell’s attempt to sing like Prince launched the careers of a thousand whining male vocalists. (Sorry, @aminatou, couldn’t help it!)
Okay, to end the evening with slightly less hate: Carl Thomas. Nice Guy™ or actual nice guy? Discuss.
Just me, or is Sunshine Anderson’s delivery in ‘Heard It All Before’ rather…lethargic? Especially considering the lyrical content?
The song is like the musical equivalent of Sanaa Lathan’s acting in The Best Man.
*DEAD* RT @Beautybyuche: @shani_o baby this, babzzzzzzzz…/
Now on the other end of the scale, don’t you all thing Ginuwine was doing waaaay too much on ‘So Anxious’?
That song is the musical equivalent of Terrence Howard’s acting in The Best Man.
Yes. I don’t think I’ve expressed my love for Community this week. LOVE. RT @slb79: this show is pretty perfect, as sitcoms go. #community
lol, let it out, dear. RT @AdamSerwer: Yeah, @attackerman is my blog therapist: http://bit.ly/6z2tiB
Tweeps, I have soaked black beans…I want to make either shrimp (which I have) or pork (which I don’t have & never ever make). But how?
Deep Thought: Do people change, or do they just become more like themselves?
Why are KitchenAid stand mixers so expensive?? I need one, but I don’t see paying more than $200 for one.
That’s just one more thing that makes her awesome. RT @reihansalam: Follow @aminatou for America’s best — and shortest — movie reviews.
YES. All the licking makes it particularly difficult. RT @Johngcole: Brushing a dog’s teeth- harder than you would expect.
I’ve had the dog for a month and today was the first time she’s barked indoors, while we were playing. Totally startling, I have to say.
!!! RT @radicalmandy: Suburban Detroit Barnes and Noble selling a book of compiled text messages from former mayor called “The Kwame Sutra.”
Umoja.
Aaaaand now it’s time to talk about who killed Malcolm. #shanineedsmorewine
192 proof liquor = hot flash in a shot glass.
Good thing about bad wine: the more you drink, the better it tastes. #happymerries
RT @AdamSerwer: Looks like someone tried to blow up an airplane flying from Amsterdam to Detroit http://bit.ly/84o2up
Lady, how are you gonna criticize this baby for not getting a perm bc you can’t ‘see her scalp’ when I can see your perm-induced bald spots?
RT @kaorijoy: Itis.
Alright, thanks guys! Turducken is American ingenuity at its finest. And it looks okay. #lessworried
Uh, has anyone ever heard of a Turducken? Because that’s the main meat at Christmas dinner tonight. #worried
Now for the part of the night where I get ribbed for not knowing what came on after All In The Family during its orig run. #blameitonmyyouth
I feel like seeing buzzards on Christmas Day is an omen.
RT @dopegirlfresh: 2009 was also a year where i made a lot of wonderful connections. you’re priceless to me, friends. you know who you are.
That’s really true @dopegirlfresh — I made some awesome friends on the interwebs this year. I’ll have to do a 1/1/10 Very Special #ff.
Happy Kwanzaa Eve!
A glass of wine and the boy starts quoting Gilmore Girls. RT @GeeDee215: Lorelai Gilmore: “Whatever happened to Xuxa?”
I’ll always love Tim Burton for producing a film that doubles as both a Halloween and a Christmas movie.
