Happy yearly event!

I have no idea at this moment how many years it has been. I just saw this reminder pop up and it made me a little sad because I've been pulled away lately. It could just be THE HORMONES or the fact that work sucked a flaccid donkey penis today. 

The Spam Wasteland that is this Blog

It's been too long I know. The spam comments I've been collecting are at an all new high of which I'm rather proud of. Not really.

I'm hoping to be back to some-what of a regular posting schedule after the next few weeks because this little place keeps me sane.

Instead of a "7 Things" post I'm just going to randomly jot down a list of shit that has been going on or that is just on my mind.

1. This is the last week that we will be living with my parents. We move this weekend into our new apartment. You. Don't. Even. Know.

Or maybe you do.

2. I'm on Vine under Brandy Franklin (that's my real name you guys) and I successfully convinced Tyrone to join too. He is under Tyrone Franklin. You can also find me from my Twitter account too which is @Letting_It_Fly. When Instagram came out with their video feature, I thought, "Well, I don't need Vine now." But honestly the Instagram videos so far have proven to be boring. Aesthetically pleasing with some, but I got use to the hilarious posts on Vine so I think I like them better. That sentence made no sentence.

This video is my fav so far. Although not funny. I know I'm hard to follow.

3. This exploding Disney princesses YouTube video is stellar. Found via the A.V. Club.

4. Your guys, this closet. I'd bring it a dead bird if I were a cat.

5. Stop blaming the internet for things.

6. Sunday we went to the lake and there were good and bad things that happened. I want to go back but with about 50% less of the amount of people that went with us this time. Importantly, I was able to float on my solitary floatation device and drink a beer under the sun.

7. I am so in love with what Amy Poehler is doing for young women.

8. Aziz is adorable.

9. So, I started watching Mad Men finally. I'm 5 episodes in. The first two were really good. The next three were boring as hell and I'm not sure if I want to power through. Is it worth it? I don't know anyone in my personal life who is into it so I can't ask anyone. I like all of the girls in the office but I'm not sold on Don Draper. I finally understand what all of the fuss has been about over Joan.

10. Today is MJ's D.O.D. and I still think about him often. Miss him so much.

11. Love Erykah Badu and love Courtnry Blair who does a Saturday set called Afternoon Delight every week on KRCL 90.9. Her patterndaily.com site is rad. I love this print it is my fav.

12. OMG I'm moving this weekend, yeay! Back to the motherland and away from UC.

7 Things - I love TV

1. Great Gatsby - I was worried I was going to have a similar experience to what I had after watching Les Miserables but I didn't. I loved this movie, I really, really did. I even got past the annoying doe eyes that are on Carrie Mullgan's face. I thought it would be even more extravagant and crazy but it wasn't for my taste. I mean, the critics killed it but I loved it so there you go. I clearly don't generally agree with them on most movies anyways. I really just enjoyed seeing this book on screen and Leo did great in it. I'm becoming more affectionate towards him in his adult acting days although I still see the skinny dweeb from The Beach sometimes when I look at him, although I never did that in this movie.

2. Furious 6 - we unabashedly love this movie franchise. All I have to say is Fast 5 was better but 6 was still fun to see. I mean, The Rock, come on.

3. Arrested Development - I am about half way through watching all of the new episodes. I love them even though the twitterverse is going ape-shit on them. Let's not take this too seriously people. Just have fun and watch it. Can I suggest, maybe, taking off your panties as to avoid getting them in a twist?

4. I quit the gym. It served it's purpose to get me through Winter without losing my mind and becoming a total cripple from sitting at a desk all day. Now I just have to make sure I stay a bit more active this Summer. (I'm totally laughing at myself just typing that.)

5. Breaking Bad - I'm so beyond annoyed that it isn't coming out until August 11th that I'm tempted to not even watch it. OK, I know I will but still. It's so frustrating. It's not like we're waiting for another season this is the SECOND HALF to the season we've been waiting a fucking eternity to see. That's TOO DAMN LONG.

6. The Voice - I get sucked in every season. This season has become a 90's country music time warp and even though that is when I was more fond of country music, and is decade which consists of songs that I happen to know a lot of the words to, I just can't with it anymore. It's too much. My mom and I are going crazy with it but my dad is in hog heaven. Last night they voted off the two best singers (next to Michelle) and you could hear Adam Levine say "I hate this country" just before the two were announced to be leaving, I laughed so damn hard because it really does seem like Merica doesn't know what is up when it comes to good taste sometimes. My favorite by far was Sarah (who was voted off) because she used to be in a screamo band. She can screech like nobody's business. I love her! The other girl was Judith and she used to sing with MJ. You can see her on this This Is It movie. She is amazing too. I'm going to spare you with all of my mean and judgmental comments that I have stewing in the black culdron that is my gut about Blake's team. Let's just say that last night I just kept yelling, in my most annoying southern slang Merica, Merica, Merica...I could video it for you if you want to get the full effect?

I'm sure my dad loved me for it.

How annoying do you think I am now? I could probably get a lot more annoying if you wanted to test me.

7. Finished Freaks and Geeks - I can't fully express my love for this show. I'm so sad there aren't more episodes to watch. It was brilliant.
