Remember How Creepy That Was?

Does everyone remember that Cadbury ad Obsessco blogged about a while back, here, and how creepy she found it? Well, I think I just one-upped the creep factor with this. 
Enjoy!




Considering shaving off my eyebrow because of this,

S.

Let me know what your favorite funny advert is, and feel free to link me as well. Another favorite of mine is the Wataniya commercial where the Grandpa "dies" at the end......just epic.

College Prep 101

I have exactly three weeks and three days until I begin University. I am both nervous and excited, but mainly nervous. I'm also hungry, but that has less to do with the fact I'm beginning University and more to do with the fact it's Ramadan and there are six hours left until sunset.
However, let's do our best to distract ourselves, shall we? Seeing as how University starts in a few weeks, and schools even sooner, I thought I'd share my survival tactics. I am going to tell you about some of the things I'm doing to prepare for the next stage of my life (I feel so dramatic saying that LOL!). So here it is:
  • I have to go shopping. I have a love/hate relationship with shopping, as in I like buying new things but I hate people and malls.  

  • Download a bunch of TV shows and movies. This is to help me out/cheer me up in between classes (Shhh!) because some of my breaks are 3 hours long. Not worth going home, and like I said I dislike people so I don't really plan on "talking" to anyone. 

  • Hitting up a bookstore and getting a couple of thick paperbacks. Same reason as above. 

  • Slowly fixing my sleeping pattern/routine. My bad sleeping habits drove me crazy during high school, and I don't want University to turn sour because of it.

  • Practicing actually answering my phone. I kid you not, when people have tried to reach me in the past, they call my mother because I never charge or answer my phone.

Let me know in the comments section below what you guys and gals are doing for school prep and let me know of you have any book/tv/movie suggestions for your old buddy S.

Charging up my soul (but not my phone),

The Schmemmys



The Emmys aired a few days ago, and it was hilarious as usual. It's my favorite (serious) awards show, MTV doesn't count LOL, because it always seems like everyone who is there is happy and grateful for their success. Unlike the Oscars, where it sometimes feels like some of the nominees have yet to break character....**Cough**Daniel-Day**Cough**
Jimmy Fallon did great job hosting, you could tell he was enjoying himself! Jane Lynch's acceptance speech was by far my favorite (GLEEK alert!!!!) All in all, I think TV actors are the best; they keep it real and are down to Earth. 
Oh, yeah...Did I mention that SHELDON WON AN EMMY!!!! Congratulations to Jim Parsons who helped put a smile on my face through many horrible days spent as a high school senior.

God bless the physics majors,

S. 

If you saw the Emmys, let me know in the comments below what was your favorite moment/dress/winner. Share your love of TV with me!

Seriously?



They need to add one more line to this picture: "Really annoying people watch Zwarat Khamees".
I hate that show. I hate all the Ramadan TV programming. 
I do however enjoy the cops that fire the cannon to annoucne fu6oor on KTV2. I'm old school like that. 

Stirring some hatred into the Vimto,

S.

PS - Tell me what's your least favorite thing about Ramadan season?

The Real Mystery of "LOST"




I havent watched LOST in two year but i remember i used to be a huge fan back in middle school so when i saw the series finale was on show series today i thought i should watch it (it really sucked) but all i could think of was "Damn Hurley's been stranded for 6 seasons and he still hasnt lost weight". I mean seriously isnt anyone else intrigued?

I have a few theories:

1. He's like camel he ate so much before the crash that his body started storing food till when he really needed.
2. The island kept him fat because that's what makes him cheerful and he would lose that if he lost weight like Il Jasmy lost his voice when he became thin.
3. My version of the finale: there was no food left on the island so they kill Hurley and eat him till they run out of food.

I know the show isnt the most realistic one but i still dont understand why they didnt make him lose weight.. just doesnt make sense...

A Little Nip/Tuck



On this blog, we don't.

Obsessco and myself have decided that with the change of the seasons, comes a need for some changes around here. That's right: our blog will be undergoing a face lift of sorts, with hings we can all hopefully applaud as improvements in the months to come. Our faithful readers and welcome guests can look forward to these posts:

Cinema Sundays: Reviews of films currently playing in theaters. Convenient, since Mondays mean half off movie ticket prices. You're welcome.
Media Mondays:
An ode to Twitter's #MusicMonday, this day will be for anything music or TV related. Expect reviews of albums, shows, award shows and things of that nature.

Toy Story Tuesdays:
Revisiting some of the things/moments/movies that made our childhood.
WTF Wednesday: Everyone needs a safe, healthy environment in which they can rant....OKAY?!
Thursday Thoughts:
It's basically the end of the week, and our brains will be too fried to come up with anything better than random ramblings.

Food For Thought Fridays:
These posts will simply be pictures of food we're currently craving, because sometime a picture is worth a thousand sprinkles.


Don't worry your little redheads though, this is just a loose structure we're adding on to inject some pizazz into our blogging experience. We'll still be as obsessive compulsive and cynical as always. Think old car with new rims. *Cue Hip-Hop music*

Now for the fun part: Leave a comment below, and throw some ideas our way as to what you would like Saturday to be themed around? All ideas are welcome, and let's see you show off your creative thought bubbles!

At ease soldiers,

S.

Gleek Chic




It was back in September when I first heard of Glee. I quickly dismissed it because, quite frankly, I wasn't interested in seeing another group of twenty-somethings try to pass off as teenagers in yet another prime time fail. I was still in high school and thought I knew what was cool. As fate would have it, immense amounts of boredom during my winter break would lead me back to Glee, and so I began watching it. Best decision of my life. Period.

Glee is a musical drama (just trust me on this one) with an edge. The show centers around the lives of a group of misfit teenagers, a gel-haired instructor and one angry Cheerios coach by the name of Sue Sylvester. Expect wit, side-splitting dialogue and fresh takes on some of your favorite oldies from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I should mention that the music is so good, I've downloaded all the songs from the show, and have it on repeat as we speak.

"Don't stop believing, just hold on to that..." What are you still doing here?! Get off your butt and start watching GLEE!

S.

P.S. - Comment and let me know if Glee hit the high notes for you, or did it fall flat?

Comedic AU



AU is the symbol used in science to represent the alloy gold. You get it, now chuckle.

Honestly, if you're not already watching this show and reveling in the biting humor and snappy dialogue, I don't know what you're doing with your life. Sheldon is by far the star with his perfect comedic timing, and priceless facial expressions. I enjoy this show so much that I might possibly do an extended review of exactly why you need to be downloading it illegally as we speak. Maybe I'll get around to it once I finish that little thing I have to do, you know, GRADUATING this Wednesday.

Off to practice my freedom smirk,

S.

Comment and let me know if you watch the show, what you think or if my writing is powerful enough to persuade you to begin watching.
