I've now seen Shania Twain's special 3 times and I don't even like Country music. I can't stop watching! They also ran Madonna which was an hour and a half and was awesome since it had many clips of old videos of hers - esp one when she was in some very cool looking new wave band called The Breakfast Club (not the one that became famous singing 'back on track'). I had to clean the bathroom during Heart though I did find out who Magic Man was written about. OK - this is another thing that gets me. In these VH1 Specials people often talk about meeting someone and falling deeply in love simultaneously (Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, Ann Wilson and her Magic Man...). This kind of spontaneous love never happens to me. Or if it does it's more like spontaneous lust that leads down a bad, bad path. Or is it just that the people who give this love at first sight speech are only feeling free to do so because this one actually panned out? At any rate I could not get enough of laughing openly at David Cassidy who insisted things were 'better than ever' now that he's working at Vegas casinos! Also, in the Barry White one they were interviewing his friend WINK MARTINDALE - you know - TIC TAC DOUGH MC WINK MARTINDALE. How could those two possibly be friends? How did they meet? I want to know more about Wink and Barry, I want to see them out together having a cocktail. |
Anyway, so today I curled up on the couch with a blanket and some Earl Grey, and I watched the "Behind the Music" specials on Def Leppard, Motley Crue, and Ozzy Osborne. The result: new respect for Def Leppard, additional contempt for Motley Crue, and sympathy for Ozzy's kids. I've seen most of the Heart special before...any questions you have, Dinner Lady? I've seen the Fleetwood Mac episode, like, 4-5 times. I haven't caught the Police episode yet, but I'm trying. |
Y'know what's also very entertaining -- some of those MSNBC features on that show "Superstars & Legends" or whatever it's called. They did a long piece on Donny Osmond/whom care nothing about. But he was really interesting -- & he didn't preach abt religion even one. |
I fell in love at first sight, and I don't even believe in it. it didn't work out. |
I think I saw the Donny Osmond one on the same day - they were talking about him being in Joseph and such. He and Marie do seem kind of cool (surprisingly). I bought a video of '70's stuff' at a collectables convention and one of the things on the reel was a clip of Donny and Marie's old show in the 70's. Yes it was unbearably cheezy, but what I was really surprised by was how they had so much charisma together - like they were having the best time. Though they are mormons I think they are OK. Did anyone else see Alyssa Milano - True Hollywood Story on E!? It's the girl who was Buffy on Family Affair. Now THAT was a sad story. Although these shows are totally formulaic I still love them. It does make me wonder if even our own lives could be made into hokey specials with the same ups and downs. It's all in the editing I suppose. |
Re: my evil brother. Yes, he was serious. That's why I was upset. A) In the first place, what would possess someone to clean the sink with their sister's toothbrush, at this age, when they're not even mad at their sister? B) Why not tell her before she next uses her toothbrush, so she doesn't get sick from the germs? C) When she *does* get sick from the germs, why not show some remorse? Lie, even. "I'm sorry you're sick. You brushed your teeth before I could warn you." Come on, give a little. He's always been like that, though. He doesn't care who gets put out or hurt as long as he gets what he wants. Too many examples to mention. He never gets punished, either. But if I did *one* of the bazillion things he's done, I would never hear the end of it. Unfair, I tell you. |
Many thanks for the tips about Heart. Indeed I'm sure they were getting bad reviews because the ladies let their weights get up there. MTV - such a gift. A fat gal will never again have a hit song |
i'm watching the one on david crosby right now (what a dick!) and have just decided to put off the sam ash sale until tomorrow so i can see the rest of it. carnage is so ffffascinatin'. |

I don't think I could ever do that. For one thing, it's impossible for me to stay mad at him for some reason. Even when I want to. He's really rude and selfish and inconsiderate and a huge jerk, but he's also really funny. When I'm mad at him, he makes me laugh, and then I'm not mad anymore. It's a dirty trick, but I fall for it every time. |
I wouldn't even talk to him at all if we didn't live in the same house. |
However, even though cleaning the sink with your toothbrush was a seriously assholish thing to do, I doubt it made you sick. If he was sick and sucked on your toothbrush for a while, that could have done it... |
