Sarcasm in a Skirt » Memes can be fun

My iTunes has multiple personality disorder.

So I got one of those funny “tagged” notes on Facebook the other day where you answer a bunch of questions by setting your iTunes to random and listing the songs that come up. I never did follow up on it, but I’ve been thinking for a few days that I could have had some doozy answers due to my eclectic music tastes. Here is a list of my “favorite” songs, at least those that have the highest play counts.

“Pretty Vegas” by JD Fortune

“Heartless” by Chris Mann

“Womanizer” by Britney Spears

“Slow Me Down” by Emmy Rossum

“Hallelujah” by Kate Voegele

“Hallelujah” by Paramore

“Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin

“I Can Love You” by Gary Allan

“Big Bad John” by Johnny Cash

“Hardknock Life” from Annie soundtrack

“Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol

“Move Bitch” by Ludacris

“Raise It Up” from the August Rush soundtrack

‘We Both Reached for the Gun” from the Chicago soundtrack

“Copacabana” by Barry Manilow

“Daughter” by Loudon Wainwright

“Hate My Life” by Theory of a Deadman

‘Kyle’s Mom is a Bitch” from the Southpark Movie soundtrack

“Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss” by Bloodhound Gang

“Teenagers” by My Chemical Romance

“Fly on the Wall” by Miley Cyrus

“American Witch” by Rob Zombie

“Stuck in the Middle with You” by Steve Miller Band

“Popular” from the Wicked soundtrack

Is that not one of the weirdest collections of music you have ever seen. Trust me that barely scratches the surface. After all I left off the Trans Siberian Orchestra….

I am such a tool sometimes.

My top five – the laminated list

jenbshaw — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 06:27:10 +0000

This Thursday, the topic is Your Five. Not the top five books on your shelf or the top five places you’ve done it. These are the five individuals you’re totally allowed to boink outside of wedlock or any sort of committed relationship.

I realize that not to long ago I did a top ten list but you aren’t really going to complain about eye candy are you? Please note that I am including some different “faves” in this list but my top three will NEVER change.

Here we go…

1. Jason Statham – Have you seen the Transporter movies? Holy Hell Batman, this man is something to be ogled. The fight scene where he covers himself in oil, I can’t even form a coherent sentence about it. Look here for yourself. As Angie would say, it makes me warm in the nethers. I think I better move on now.

2. Forrest Griffin – I ADORE him. He is tough as nails and funny as hell. I think I could even get past the wonky ears all those UFC fighters seem to have. Yes I like him THAT much.

3. Timothy Olyphant – He is so pretty it almost hurts to look at him. I fell in love with him in the movie The Hitman, which is surprisingly a really good movie.

4. Heath Ledger – Specifically from his 10 Things I Hate About You days. He is just so adorable. Also, I think he has the same smile as an ex-boyfriend of mine. I refuse to see any significance in that. The scene where he sings…what I wouldn’t give for someone to do that for me. Actually I’d probably be beyond mortified but all the same.

5. Clayton Mitchell -Who? Well my friends he is the lead guitar player for Kenny Chesney and good lawd can that boy play his guitar. He also wears tight jeans better than most any man I know. He makes me drool. A lot.

There you have it.

That’s my list.

My Top Ten

jenbshaw — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:52:00 +0000

Today Sam wrote a post about her top ten celebrity list, you know the 10 celebs she is totally allowed to cheat on her husband with should the opportunity arise. I mean you just never know when you are going to run into someone in a gas station bathroom…wait…ummm….moving on. Anyway I decided after looking at her “man candy” that I wanted to post my own. So here goes, here is mai list…swoooooon.

We will begin with what I call my tri-fecta. For the past 10 years these three men have graced the top spots, I’m seriously doubting that this will ever change. I DO NOT care that they are old enough to be my father or grandfather even. It does not matter. I would leave my husband every day of the damn week for any of them. (ok perhaps I wouldn’t LEAVE him but dude you know what I mean)

Dennis Quaid – its all in the smile, it makes me friggin melt on the spot

Harrison Ford – holy lord with the ruggedness…Six Days, Seven Nights best movie evah

Kevin Costner – umm The Bodyguard, For Love of the Game, The Guardian…holy freakin hotness

And here is the rest of the list, most of these have been here for ages but they have a better chance of being bumped, so to speak, than the top three.

Gary Allan – tatoos and a guitar…nuff said. If that wasn’t enough though you should listen to his music, the songs he wrote after his wife died are so heartwrenching. Also his song “I Can Love You” was my wedding song – make me teary to this day. Do me a solid and go listen to it here.

Garth Brooks – watching him sing live just makes me happy

Sean Connery – its totally the accent, plus the fact that he just plain out kicks total ass.

JD Fortune – he may be slightly douchy but I don’t care, he rocks my socks off, he is my token “boy who rocks the eyeliner” choice. Love the song “Pretty Vegas”

Josh Turner – again with the voice (I have a serious weakness for musicians I know). He is also my token “good boy” choice

Peter Berg – This may seem slightly random and I’m sure most of you don’t recognize him. Truthfully the only thing I can recall seeing him in is an episode or two of Alias but hot-diggity that was enough. Something about his crooked smile just grabbed me.

Chris Mann – I’m pretty sure Chris is taking the top spot as my current music/hot guy obsession. He is a new artist for Sony and I have watched streamed videos of him “performing” at several friends houses. He is AMAZING. There just aren’t words to describe how talented of a singer this guy is, his raw acoustic performances beat any “studio enhanced” performance of many of todays biggest “stars”. If you haven’t heard of him go check him out RIGHT NOW at chrismannmusic.com

Swear to jebus that this post took me like 3 days to write because I had to keep wiping up drool off of various keyboards…

I encourage each of you to post your Top Ten and share the link with me!

I’z been interviewed

jenbshaw — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 22:12:00 +0000

Liz at Will There Be Cake is letting me take part in the “interview-y” game. Here are her questions…and here are my answers…

1. What is your favorite song of the moment?

Right now it would have to be “You Found Me” by The Fray. Although I am pretty addicted to the new(ish) CDs by Adele and Paramore.

2. I see you’re going to BlogHer. Who are you most excited to meet?

I admit I’m going to be a little starstruck by lots of people but if I have to pick just one person I will pick my all-time “blog-crush” Casey from mooshinindy, seriously she does fabulous like few people can!

3. I see you’re also about to have a new addition to your family. Will you tell us potential names? If not, just tell us what you’re looking forward to the most.

Well it’s a boy so that narrows the list although this is a point of contention in our house. I think all the names my husband comes up with are ridiculous (not in themselves but when paired with the middle name and our last name, he isn’t good at seeing the whole picture). The names I like so far are Colin and Cooper. I’m also considering Landon. However I think that getting the nursery cleaned out and removing the “cat” smell from the carpets is more important than a name right now. I can’t tell you what I’m most looking forward to because currently I’m scared shitless about the whole thing.

4. When you’re stressed, what do you do to de-stress?

If I’m upset-stressed I take a scalding hot shower and have a good cry while I’m soaking. If I’m just uptight-stressed I like to sit down in a quiet corner and read a good romance novel. Seriously I can read a 200 page book in a couple of hours, I’m a nerd that way. I read the 7th Harry Potter book in under 7 hours in one day.

5. If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

There is a pizza parlor chain with a few restaurants around my hometown called Happy Joe’s, they have the most awesome pizza ever. I could eat their BLT (no tomatoes please) or Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut pizza every day. Lord I miss that pizza.

If you would like to play along here are the instructions:
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions).
3. You update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post. You know, to pay-it-forward and keep this little interview game going.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions and so on and so forth
The first five ‘askers’ get the interview! (Though I’ll interview anyone who plays along – even if I get more than five requests. Because I’m nice like that.)

Why the Heck Not I Say…

jenbshaw — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 21:23:00 +0000

I found this meme on Liz’s site, it looked easy (mostly because our answers are so similar – Gawd I’m lazy today).

• How long have you been together? Together almost six years married two and a half years

• How long did you know each other before you started dating? A week or so, and by “dating” you mean pretty much living together right?

• Who asked who out? There really wasn’t any “asking out” we met in college, we traveled in packs. I just made sure we would be going to the same bar on the same night.

• How old are each of you? 27

• Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? Well considering I’m an only lonely that would be his sister

• Do you have any children together? Can I count the little ~~parasite~~ darling currently residing in my tummy

• What about pets? We have a cat named Kitty and we should have a lab puppy this summer sometime.

• Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? dealing with families, we both have awesome families but they function in very different ways and it has been hard for us to adjust to each others idiosyncrasies – very hard.

• Did you go to the same school? To the same college yes

• Are you from the same home town? Nope, he doesn’t really have a “hometown” he moved around a lot as a child

• Who is the smartest? well I’m a complete nerd but he is really smart too, luckily we are smart in different areas

• Who is the most sensitive? sensitive towards others neither, in respect to ourselves I think it would be me, I get my feelings hurt easier

• Where do you eat out most as a couple? Longhorn Steakhouse, it drives him nuts that I order the same thing every time. I have a favorite dish/meal every where we go and I RARELY veer off course

• Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Imperial Beach, CA

• Who has the craziest exes? definitely him

• Who has the worst temper? that would be me, I am a true red head

• Who does the cooking? He does basically all the cooking (and the dishes) I am completely inept in the kitchen

• Who is more social? Him for sure

• Who is the neat-freak? Neither of us is super clean

• Who is the more stubborn? I’m pretty sure that’s a draw

• Who hogs the bed? He does. No matter what size bed we sleep in, he always ends up right in the middle of it. (wow I didn’t even have to touch this answer from Liz)

• Who wakes up earlier? I do, he can still sleep until noon, I’m up by 7:00 at least no matter what

• Where was your first date? Like I said before we traveled in a pack in college, although if I had to pick I would say it took place in my living room, I invited him over to watch a Nascar Race at my apartment.

• Who has the bigger family? Me – drives him nuts

• Do you get flowers often? Only on Valentine’s Day but I’m not super into flowers, I only enjoy them on Valentine’s Day because I don’t want to be left out.

• How do you spend the holidays? Thanksgiving belongs to my family (to avoid the crazies in his), We have Easter with both our parents (I know it’s weird that they get along – right) and Christmas we go all over hell’s half acre and back to see everyone.

• Who is more jealous? This is too broad to really know, we both have our moments.

• How long did it take to get serious? Not very damn long, I would say withing 3 weeks of “meeting” him we were pretty much living together.

• Who eats more? Me, I graze all day long

• Who does/ did the laundry? Since he handles the kitchen I try to do most all the other chores

• Who’s better with the computer? He can barely get online without my help.

• Who drives when you are together? Usually him unless I’m being DD
