The Neglectful Blogger

Good title for the Lifetime Movie Biopic of Elle Bunny, no? I'm also considering "New Shoes...Gotta Break 'Em In" (Chronicling my life in shoes), "My Own Personal Brand Of Heroin" (Chronicling my life spiraling out of control as I become dependent on Taco Cabana and Twi-Gossip) and "I Want a Bunny" (Chronicling my relationship with Mr. Bunny and the constant begging for an actual bunny). I would like to be played by either Ellen Page, Anne Hathaway, or Meredith Baxter-Burney (Tori Spelling might be a candidate if she gained 40 pounds).

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to take a mini-hiatus from blogging. This will last for at least the rest of April (barring death or marriage of anyone in the cast of New Moon), and may run a little into May. I'm sure this is very upsetting the five of you who sometimes scan the blog, but unfortunately I've got to focus on work for the time being. I can't get into too much detail because it is technical and would put you to sleep, but suffice it to say, I need to spend less time on the interwebs and more time pretending to be a good employee. It's more of a personal challenge than anything else. It's part of what I like to call "Operation Elle Bunny Gets a Raise".

But don't worry and don't abandon my blog--I will be back!

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Youtubesday: Then came the day...

If you're not watching Skins yet, surely this is reason enough to check it out. I've been watching the second season and it is even better than the first. Here is a clip of Michelle and Maxxie working on a play for school called "Osama: The Musical."

This song has been all my husband and I have been singing for the last week. It is so completely ridiculous and just a small taste of the sardonic wit featured in the show. But more than that, this show has such great acting and they are always pushing their characters in new powerful directions. The relationships the kids have with each other and with their parents is so real and heart wrenching, it's just outstanding.

And the accents! This show is so great and it makes me so sad that I'm going to be caught up on watching it soon.

I recommend you check this show out ASAP!

Have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

New Moon Monday: I can haz movie now?

There were so much New Moon news and so many Twilight cast sightings over the past week that I can't possibly cover them all, so if you want to find out more check out the Twilight Lexicon Blog and Lainey's Gossip Blog...while I'm not a huge fan of the latter of the two, she hit the jackpot by being the only major gossip blogger who happens to live in Vancouver. I can't help but check her site regularly now for my Twi-fix.

So first of all, according to The Wrap, planning has begun for filming Breaking Dawn. I think I'm one of the few folks who want to see this get made into a movie--I have no idea how they will do it (especially things like Renesmee and the birth scene straight out of Alien), but I think it would be awesome to see on screen.

While the cast and crew of New Moon have been sworn to secrecy and it has been a closed set, apparently ET was allowed to come do interviews which they will be airing throughout the week. They gave us this sneak peek:

And this one:

(I'm having problems with the next two playing, so you can click on the link underneath to go the page and watch them yourself if you'd like)

Sneak Peek: Our Robert Pattinson Interview From 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' Set!

And this one:

Thea Andrews Blogs on 'New Moon' Exclusive!
And I don't know who got this footage or how they got it but Viva Italia! It looks like this was taken during filming of the birthday party.
I'm getting so excited and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control and I think I like it. (Sidenote: When I was in middle school I performed this song with Lena Cantu and Leslie Reininger at a 7th grade choir concert during the 80's medley. I know I should feel ashamed to admit this fact, but instead it just makes me giggle. And it also makes me feel a sense of solidarity with my sisters in impersonating the Pointer Sisters, Kelly Kapowski, Jessi Spano and Lisa Turtle). But I digress; what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, New Moon -I can honestly say that I'm hopeful for this movie.

Breaking News: Bert the Hobo has an iPhone.

Yet another thing that makes me giggle. I wonder if he actually bought it himself. It's hard for me to imagine Rob walking in the Apple Store. I also can't imagine how he drunk dials Tom Sturridge anymore--I'd imagine he has a hard time figuring out how to turn the phone on when he's sober.

And it sounds like Rob has a fan in Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day. Check out this interview to hear what Billie had to say about casting Rob as Christian, one of the two main characters from Green Day's new album "21st Century Breakdown".

So obviously there have been a lot of rumors floating around about hookups amongst the cast. You can find a lot of speculation and articles in gossip rags about relationships between Nikki and Rob, Kristen and Rob, Kristen and Taylor, Nikki and Taylor, Rob and Ashley, Nikki and Kristen. I don't know if any of these pairings are for real (my guess is that they are not). All I can say is my one true pairing is, was, and always will be these two.

In my world, RPattz especially like to makes passes at KStew when she wears her glasses.

What you looking at there, Kristen? J/K

Rob and Kristen in a car together. ZOMG!

RPattz-KStew shippers are fairly unpopular in the Twilight Universe--almost as unpopular as RPattz-NReed shippers. We are often encouraged to leave them alone and learn how to separate the actors from their characters. This is because all Twilighters have the hots for RPattz and want them for themselves. While this is a totally understandable feeling, I will forever wait for the day when RPattz and KStew make beautiful pale babies (I respect their personal lives and in no way is this meant to be taken seriously).

In closing, silentscream821 from livejournal is putting together a Birthday Book for Rob. She is accepting entries until midnight tonight (sorry for the late notice). Send your birthday wishes to pattinsonmusicappreciation@gmail.com. It should be no longer than three to four sentences. Here is what I wrote (I only took about two minutes to think about it): Rob,
I wish you happiness, good books, good booze and lots of great things to microwave (you should try a mango).
Happy Birthday Rob!

FYI: Rob turns 23 on May 13.

Have a great day everyone!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Susan Boyle is Friday's Fun Fearless Female!

If you haven't watched this video yet, you must! She may not look the part, but she has an amazing voice.

Susan's bravery should inspire every one of us to dream the dream.

I know I'm being uber corny and the whole thing was probably a set up, but it still makes makes me tear up.

And Twilighters; for a giggle, check this out:

3 Ways Robert Pattinson and Susan Boyle Are the Same

Congrats Susan Boyle, Friday's Fun Fearless Female!

Have a great weekend!

Is this a commercial or the actual show?

I know we are in the middle of an economic downturn, and trust me, it gives me a case of the sads just like everybody else. But if I want to learn about it, I watch CNN, not the CW. What is up with the constant barrage of product placement lately?

I mean, it's always been around, but in the last few months, I feel that Primetime Television has been inundated with it. I realize that tv shows are hurting for money, too, but it is getting distracting. Would you like examples??

First, and most obnoxiously, the new 90210. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Dr. Pepper (well, actually, I love Diet Dr. Pepper. I loved Dr. Pepper too much for too long and at 19, decided I had to switch to Diet). But this show is 23 flavors of tacky. In more ways than just the product placement (but Domo Arigato Donna Martin for at least keeping me awake during this week's episode; though you may want to lay off the Botox) but the way they are whoring out Dr Pepper products is making me uncomfortable. I also feel that as a long-time fan of Beverly Hills, 90210, I can say with absolute certainty that we would never have seen Dylan McKay pushing Dr Pepper, or Pepsi, or even Hair Products with the apparent fervent enthusiasm that is being exhibited on 90210 2.0. Maybe Brandon Walsh (he was always kind of a tool) but not Dylan McKay. No way, no how. And I think that is why the original show holds up well ten years later (I doubt 90210 2.0 will be syndicated).

But even shows I really love like Friday Night Lights are guilty of it. They've always featured Applebees, which doesn't really bother me too much. But during last week's episode (the finale) they made Buddy Garrity start the show off talking about how great Chevy Trucks are. He knows he's not really a car salesman, right? And Steve Carrell, don't think I didn't notice The Office has been whoring Apple products like it's life depended on it.

There's no escaping it at this point. It is even infiltrating my reality shows. Watching Real Housewives of New York City Tuesday night, I found myself ready to erase it from my DVR about halfway through watching it. It felt like a never ending infomercial. No Discountess Luann Platter, I will not buy your book on etiquette. No Bethenny, I don't want to buy your book Naturally Thin. No Ramona, I won't be buying your Tru skin care line or your True Faith Jewelry because, frankly, I don't think you seem like someone who should be promoting either of these products. No, Jill, I will not be buying Zarin Fabrics anytime soon. And no, Kelly, I don't buy that you jog in traffic in front of a cab with your hair down and flat ironed. Get a life. I'm not buying what anybody is selling on this show. Consider it my own little protest (although I do usually enjoy this show).

So all I'm saying is ENOUGH! I've had enough of the product placement. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Sorry, just had to get that out.

Everyone have a great day!

Love,

Elle Bunny

A Late Post, A Short Post, but Alas, and Important Post

Oh my goodness!!!! Check out the Official New Moon Cast List! New: Daniel Cudmore as Felix, Christopher Heyerdahl as Marcus, Charlie Bewley as Demetri, Cameron Bright as Alec and Graham Greene as Harry Clearwater.

Great casting! Although I kind of hate myself for it, I'm getting excited about this movie!

Have a great evening!

YouTubesday: Everyone needs a Panda in their life

This video makes me so unbelievably happy because it combines some of my favorite things-pandas, baby pandas, and baby animals being cute. Enjoy.

This one goes out to Paula Panda.

New Moon Monday: Holy Crow, this guy has been in Oscar Nominated Movies!

Michael Sheen Joins 'New Moon' Cast--aren't we lucky?? I'm so excited. He must be getting paid handsomely. I am happy to see the role of Aro (who I love) go to someone who actually has cred. He is no stranger to Vampire movies though, having played Lucian in the many Underworld films. For those who haven't the movies (me neither!) here is a character summary- Lucian is the first of his kind, he can change into the wolf form at will. He becomes the leader of the Lycans (werewolves) when Victor finds out that he and his daughter Sonja are in love and decides to kill him. Lucian starts a vicious war against the Vampires beginning when Viktor kills Sonja and their unborn child.
Glad to see he's joined the Vampire team. I think he can probably pull off creepy pretty well, which is important when you're playing Aro. Plus, he's used to playing men of power, having played Tony Blair in The Queen.
So let's see: so far we have Jamie Campbell-Bower as Caius and Michael Sheen as Aro; I wonder who will play Marcus? My money is on someone British (odds are based on the fact that the first two are) and not very famous. Having Michael Sheen is a major win, and Marcus isn't a major player, so my guess is it will be someone I've never heard of. I have to say, I'm happy with this news!
In other news, I just discovered this NO GOOD TV interview with the cast of Adventureland. It's lovely. I love this interviewer. (Beware--lots of cursing--and giggling)

You might remember this interview:

So funny. Anyway, here are some pics from filming in Vancouver.

Aww.

Rob, I can only imagine how happy you are with the improvements in your makeup. Thank goodness-no more lipstick! I heave a sigh of relief for you.

Oh, Taylor, what lovely, flowing locks you have.
Normal kids. I love you guys!
I also love you, Mike Newton! Do you want to, you know, go to prom with me?
Bella's holding a camera. Does this mean that Charlie giving Bella a camera for her birthday actually made it to the script? It does look to be a digital camera, so I guess Edward just erases the pictures from the actual camera in addition to hiding her photo album (or the album could have been eliminated altogether). So intriguing. I like that there is intrigue about this movie. I like that the set is closed and there is a lot of secret-keeping. It's nice that everything isn't spoiled yet (although I'm sure there will be more soon). I don't think it's necessary for the Twilight mafia to be everywhere and I admire Chris Weitz for trying to keep us guessing and keep us surprised.

Have a great New Moon Monday!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Pam Beesly is Friday's Fun Fearless Female

Oh, Pam. You certainly are this Friday's Fun Fearless Female. You took a chance and left Dunder Mifflin to join Michael in his newest ridiculous venture, the Michael Scott Paper Company.

Now you are stuck working with Michael and Ryan, the douchiest of all douchebags (did anybody else want to throw-up when he was saying Pam was a 6 in NYC but a 7 in Scranton?). And you all share an office that is really more of a closet.

You had a very Elle Bunny-esque break down at the end of the first of two new episodes last night; you talked about how you don't know what you were thinking leaving that perfectly cushy job; you got bored, but that's not a reason to leave a job where you had health benefits and sat 10 feet away from your incredibly cute fiance. You just got bored.

I feel you, Pam. I'm bored, too. But I'm also terrified of leaving my incredibly cushy job with great health insurance for the scary grown-up world out there where people have to dress in fancy clothes to go to work. And this episode just reaffirmed my feelings that I should never leave my current desk (which in truth, is not even my own desk, but rather, a portion of a long table which I share with 20 other people). It really is scary out there. And if I'm not careful, I could end up working in a closet, sitting at a poker table with my current boss and one of the many losers that have worked with me in the past. And to confirm that I had been transported to in hell, I could have to hear the toilet flushing every few minutes.

Thanks for taking one for the team, Pam. But maybe I should see you as inspiration and not a scary parable. Because I just realized that I should be congratulating you on your first sale! That was really awesome, although I'm not sure how the three of you are going to live for very long on under $900. I also want to congratulate you on taking a stand on the copy thing. I also can relate on that front, not only because I like making copies (they are warm!) but because I feel like people do stereotype and put you in a box at work which you can never escape. And that bothers me, because really, we are all multifaceted people.

But lets get down to srs bsns now, are you guys going to return to Dunder Mifflin soon? I don't see how long this can last. Oh, and has Jim figured out a way to remove that clown picture? Can I come to your wedding? I really hope you and Jim get married soon.

You guys are so cute.

In closing, I want to thank you Pam, for representing ladies in the workplace so realistically. Many of us are just like you. Timid, maybe, but underneath that shy veneer there is a confident business woman ready to be unearthed.

Congratulations, Pam Beesly, Friday's Fun Fearless Female!
Have a Happy Easter everyone!

Love,

Happy Birthday KStew!!!

What a year it's been!

To celebrate Baby KStew's 19th Birthday, Mr. Bunny and I went to see Adventureland last night.

We both really enjoyed it. It was not at all what I was expecting. When you hear that something is a male coming-of-age story written and directed by the same guy who brought us Superbad, I think it's only natural that you'd expect it to be a raunchy giggle fest. Instead it was sweet and kind of heartbreaking. The college-age kids look and act like college-age kids. Of course, the music is incredible because it takes place in the 80's, but the best part of this movie is the actors.

In the story, James, a recent college graduate from Pittsburgh, PA, is planning to go to Europe before enrolling in Columbia for Grad School. His plans are dashed by his parents who explain to him that his father has been demoted and they don't have the money to send him to Europe, or to help with Grad School. So he gets a job at the local theme park, Adventureland, after discovering that a liberal arts degree doesn't even qualify you for manual labor (that's the excuse I've always used). At the park, he meets a bevvy of interesting characters, including Connell, who is played to perfection by Ryan Reynolds. He also meets Em, KStew's character, and falls for her. I don't want to tell you anymore because you really should just see the movie.

Jesse Eisenberg could not be more likable if he looked like Johnny Depp (or, sakes alive, even RPattz). There is something about his demeanor that makes you root for him, and whether it's his quiet intelligence or his dorky charm, I'm not sure. But in the same way that I felt Kristen Stewart's role in Twilight was essential in allowing you entry into a believable alternate universe in which Vampires go to Forks High School, I feel that Jesse Eisenberg made it feel completely effortless to go back in time to 1987 and really feel like you could be working there with him in the Adventureland theme park.

I liked this movie so much because it didn't hit you over the head with anything-it wasn't an all out love story and they didn't go for the cheap laugh. The 80s references were never heavy-handed but always enough to make you giggle (I love Lisa P) without making you roll your eyes. Everything was done in a way that makes this movie stand out and above others in its genre, and I'm sure that I will not just buy it on DVD, but actually watch it frequently.

Kristen was magnificent and she looked beautiful. She is so talented and wise beyond her 19 years. She gave a great, understated performance. I think it's clear that I'm a big fan, so I won't go on about it anymore, but I think she was great.

Have a great day, and go see this movie!

Happy Birthday, Kristen!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Real Housewives of New Jersey Discussion. Talk amongst yourselves about your "bubbies"

If you didn't watch the preview of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" last night that followed the episode of RHONYC, you must watch it now. If you have never watched an episode of any of the Real Housewives shows, start watching now! (Click here to watch the full episode). Because these ladies are crazier than those featured in any other locale. I think based on that preview, they even beat Atlanta (and that's saying a LOT). I wasn't sure how this show would turn out. As one of the Housewives on the show pointed out (who's originally from Las Vegas), New Jersey has a rep for being the armpit of America. I also was wondering if they were going to try and incorporate something from NJ that they would hold in their hand (i.e, in NYC they hold an apple, Atlanta Housewives hold peaches and in the OC they hold oranges). The only thing I could ever come up with was the idea that they would be surrounded by greenery (because they live in the Garden State). Instead they just struck fierce poses with their hands on their hips. Based on the last few minutes of the preview, it appears that there is an all-out cat fight complete with women turning over tables (with glasses of wine on them, no less). I think we can count on this being an entertaining season!

Also, all of these women refer to their breasts as "Bubbies". One of the women wants to get fake bubbies.Her husband is the "construction business" and "an entrepreneur" and according to her, he's more of an ass man, but he says "Happy wife, happy life". She describes her husband as being "in very good shape" and "juicy". When I saw him, all I could think about was this:

The best part is that they had this whole conversation about her bubbies in front of their very young daughters at a public restaurant.

That couple is just the tip of the iceberg. There's a set of sisters who married a set of brothers, another one of the housewives in married to the sisters' brother, and the family business is an event/wedding center. But they saved the best for last. The last crazy housewife bares a striking resemblance to most of the contestants on RuPaul's Drag Race and she seems very concerned with getting some from a much younger guy she met on the internet (whose name she does not know); another one of her priorities is sitting around her mansion and calling her ex-husband to complain about how she hasn't gotten her divorce settlement yet. I guess in the grand tradition of Real Housewives, she is also unable to work.

I love this show so much and it hasn't even started yet. I've always been a sucker for anything related to the Mob (The Sopranos, Goodfellas, Married to the Mob, the Godfather, etc), and while I know this show is not explicitly related to the mob, read this before you tell me I'm stereotyping. I'm already planning a drinking game for this show. Whenever one of the says "bubbies" I will drink a shot. If somebody wears leopard print, I will have a couple sips of an amaretto sour (if I drank more, I have a feeling I might be drunk as a skunk twenty minutes in). If somebody mentions the mob or "sleeping with the fishes", I will down a whole bottle of Grey Goose.

Honestly, compared to these women, the Real Housewives of NYC were a bore last night. The only halfway interesting moment came from Discountess LuAnn Platter

LuAnn sure knows how to sell that book on manners and etiquette. Who wouldn't want to buy a book on manners from a woman who tells a 10 year old girl she's fat? I love the look on that girl's face. She's thinking to herself, "what is this dumb horse telling me? I don't like this woman." Karma's a bitch and after all her going on and on about being a Countess, LuAnn is living her life as A Countess Without A Count . Poor Discountess LuAnn Platter!

Have a great day!

(and if you don't watch the preview for RHONJ, I might shoot you in the face).

Elle Bunny

YouTubesday: The James Franco Edition

Today is YouTubesday. James Franco recently trashed a room for Wholpin.

According to their website, "Wholphin is a quarterly DVD magazine from McSweeney's, lovingly encoded with unique and ponderable films designed to make you feel the way we felt when we learned that dolphins and whales sometimes, you know, do it."

Thank you Wolphin. This video is made of awesome and did leave me pondering it for awhile afterward--as did your interesting name.

And I know I've been talking about it frequently lately, but I'm in awe of James Franco. I want to have him over to my house for Thanksgiving Dinner. He can talk about the book he's writing and wear his Allen Ginsberg glasses. I'm sure he would love my cornbread dressing and pecan pie.
I just need to learn how to make pecan pie.

Have a great day!

New Moon Monday

So first of all, I watched the Cake Eaters last week and I have to give props to Kristen. She was amazing. Very interesting movie-just like life, it has it's sad parts, funny aspects, etc. Overall I found the viewing experience to be delightful. If you haven't seen it, you should. Elizabeth Ashley is also really great in it.
I have yet to see Adventureland, but have heard nothing but good things and plan on seeing it this week. Our little KStew is just a busy bee. Check out this awesome KStew interview with Media Blvd. I love it when I hear the cast talking about New Moon. It makes me wiggle my toes.

IMDb page:

Check out this picture and discussion of a meeting with KStew and Rob. This also made my toes wiggle. I'm glad to see that these two still hang out, despite the media scrutiny and constant whispers about their chemistry (that doesn't count me. I'm not whispering about it. I'm shouting it from the rooftops-J/K).

Apparently Rob will not be hosting SNL anytime soon. Which I would put in the category of good news. I think Bert has enough on his shoulders right now and I'm not sure his is the kind of humor that translates to that kind of arena. Plus, I'm absolutely positive he would somehow injure himself. Let him wait to do something like this until he has done a little bit more in the acting world. Speaking of which, yesterday my husband and I were discussing my unfortunate theory that Rob will eventually go the way of Michael Shoeffling and fall off the public radar (purposefully, of course). Sadly, I think this is very likely, because I don't think he really enjoys the press and all of the attention. I don't think he would go and start building furniture in Idaho (the image makes me giggle), but I don't know if he will be doing this for very long. Maybe he'll go be a musician that plays in little hole-in-the-walls. But you never know, he might be the next Johnny Depp.

Catherine's book is going to be #1 on the NY Times bestseller list and she wrote the fans to thank them. I bought the book and while I enjoyed the pictures, I thought it was way too expensive for what it offered. She is such a crazy hippy lady.
Check out an interview with Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene here. I love them and I love that they are such good friends. You might want to take a look at these videos that Kellan and Ashley did with photographer Tyler Shields. They are kind of freaky but also kind of awesome.

Kellan went a little Patrick Bateman in that video. I love seeing a different side of these actors.

Check out this clip of Kellan talking about Rob flicking him off in the baseball scene.

Too funny.

DVR Alert!!

Don't forget:
This is just a reminder that the episode of "Criminal Minds" that stars Jackson Rathbone will air this Wednesday, April 8th, on CBS. Set your DVRs!!

Here are some pictures of the set for Forks High School. Yippee!! It looks very similar!!

Here's a picture of Taylor and Edi out on the town in Vancouver. Too bad Jacob and the wolf pack have to kill Laurent, because I love Edi Gathegi. It seems like he gets along with the rest of the cast quite well.

And check this out. They are planning on filming the movie theatre scene. I'm loving that they are including this scene, as I was sure it would go the way of blood-typing in biology. Let the puking begin! (Don't you just love Mike Newton?)

Finally, I leave you with some of my favorite pictures from Big World, Little Pocket. Very clever!

Have a great New Moon Monday!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Christian Lander is Friday's Fun Fearless Male

You might be saying to yourself, who is Christian Lander?
This guy:

He is the blogger behind Stuff White People Like, a blog that satirizes the interests of white people. In a move straight from Jeff Foxworthy's playbook, he makes fun of what is absurd about a group he is a part of. To me, this always come off way funnier and less mean-spirited than somebody mocking someone from another group. Anyway, his blog is incredibly popular and ultimately makes fun of the stereotypical left-leaning politically correct yuppies. Even if you are not a Yuppie (which I'm not) you may find that some of his musings could have been written about you. To read more about Christian, who is Canadian, click here.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from Stuff White People Like:

#118 Ugly Sweater Parties

"White people needed to find a party that was completely without religious affiliations, but still connected enough to the idea of Christmas that they could serve eggnog and hot toddies. The answer: ugly sweater parties.
These parties feature festive drinks, Christmas music by Sufjan Stevens, and most importantly, intentionally hideous sweaters. These ugly sweaters provide white people with an invisible shield that protects them from any criticism that might emerge if any Christianity accidentally slips into the evening."

#48 Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops

"All of these stores are pretty much the same - lots of vegetables, grain fed free range meat and eggs, and soy everything. They are also characterized by an outrageously large section of vitamins, supplements, and natural oils. There are natural, handmade soaps which give these stores a unique and uniform smell.
Many white people consider shopping at Whole Foods to be a religious experience, allowing them feel good about their consumption. The use of paper bags, biodegradable packaging, and the numerous pamphlets outlining the company’s police on hormones, genetically modified food and energy savings. This is in spite of the fact that Whole Foods is a profit driven-publicly traded corporation that has wisely discovered that making white people feel good about buying stuff is outrageously profitable."

#75 Threatening to Move to Canada

"For example, if you are watching TV with white people and there is a piece on the news about that they do not agree with, they are likely to declare “ok, that’s it, I’m moving to Canada.”
Though they will never actually move to Canada, the act of declaring that they are willing to undertake the journey is very symbolic in white culture. It shows that their dedication to their lifestyle and beliefs are so strong, that they would consider packing up their entire lives and moving to a country that is only slightly different to the one they live in now.
Within white culture, it is agreed upon that if Canada had better weather it would be a perfect place.

Note: Canadian white people threaten to move to Europe.

Note: Europeans are unable to threaten to move anywhere"

#16 “Gifted” Children

"White people love “gifted” children, do you know why? Because an astounding 100% of their kids are gifted! Isn’t that amazing?
I’m pretty sure the last non-gifted white child was born in 1962 in Reseda, CA. Since then, it’s been a pretty sweet run.
The way it works is that white kids that are actually smart are quickly identified as “gifted” and take special classes and eventually end up in college and then law school or med school.
But wait, aren’t there white people who aren’t doctors or lawyers, or even all that smart?
Well, here is another one of those awesome white person win-win situations.
Because if a white kid gets crappy grades and can’t seem to ever do anything right in school, they are still gifted! How you ask? They are just TOO smart for school. They are too creative, too advanced to care about the trivial minutiae of the day to day operations of school.
Eventually they will show their creativity in their elaborate constructions of bongs and intimate knowledge different kinds of mushrooms and hash."

So let's give it up for Christian Lander, Friday's Fun Fearless MaleThanks for having the courage to acknowledge the absurdity of the hipster crowd.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Love,

Elle Bunny

Did Megan Joy take a swig of Paula's Happy Juice?

Because she was acting like she was on acid. All that Ca-Ca'ing and the crazy facial expressions scared me. I'm glad she got sent home, although I did feel bad for her when she started to cry at the end. Then came Lady GaGa, and I started to think maybe I was on an acid trip. What has happened to this show? And when did it become acceptable for them to start lip-syncing during the group routines? And to borrow an expression from the ever-eloquent Jen Aniston,who shit in Kara's Wheaties? And when is somebody going to break the news to Scott that they AC Slatered his hair?I'm praying for Jesus to take the wheel at American Idol. Because at this point it seems like they are careening out of control.

What do you think?

Have a great day!

I'm boycotting April Fools Day

I'm not kidding. Does anybody else think that April Fool's Day is just an excuse for Jackasses to act like Jackasses? Maybe I'm taking it too seriously, but I'm getting kind of annoyed. The Lex has turned into LexiKalebCon for the day. I went to YouTube and all the videos are upside down. I've come across the following few stories:

Finally, Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's audition tapes are released

Robert Pattinson to Retire from Acting in 2010

Robert Pattinson Replaces Tobey Maguire in Spiderman 4

All of these are bogus. Maybe I need to get a sense of humor. Where do I buy one of those? Or maybe these jokes are only funny to the people playing them. This is what I've been thinking in my head all day:

Ah, The Smiths. Morrissey. That's a sense of humor I can respect. What's funnier than Girlfriend in a Coma?

Either way, the only reason I enjoy April Fool's Day is it is the day that the universe smiled on my family and brought this treasure into the world:

Abby has been a member of our family since I was in the 8th grade. When we got her she was 4 months old and we estimated that it meant she was born in early April. So we said she was born on April Fool's Day.

But Abby is nobody's fool. She is the Queen and we are her subjects (as is the case with most cats). But she is also so sweet and loving. We are so lucky to have her as a part of our family.

Happy 11th Birthday Abby!

Enjoy your Vanilla Pudding!

Have a great day everyone! I hope no one plays a stupid prank on you.

Love,

Elle Bunny
