He was hands down the most adorable entity on the red carpet yesterday. He won my heart- which is far more rare than a golden globe.

I feel like this is telling. Inappropriate joke about a dictator, and uninformed commenter. Classic.

this is how its done- A scathing (and humorous) letter from B

To Whom it May Concern,

I didn’t realize when I purchased Lauryn Hill tickets that the real price of my ticket would be:

  1. $80 
  2. Standing in heels on a concrete floor for hours
  3. Being pressed up against the back of a giant man, who felt the need to break out his best dance moves—6 square inches of personal space be damned!
  4. HOURS of waiting
  5. A little piece of my human dignity

At 10:30, I finally decided that hearing Lauryn Hill sing would not improve my mood or my night. Although I do hope, for the sake of the hundreds of people there, that she came out and sang with the sweetness of the Baby Jesus backed by a choir of angels.

I realize that I cannot expect you to un-elbow my ribs, un-blister my feet, or refund 3.5 hours of my life (preferably weekend hours), but I am asking for my $80 back (and while I’m at it, the $80 I spent on my friend’s ticket), since I would have had a better musical experience sitting at home on my couch with my laptop, watching YouTube videos of Keyboard Cat.

You can rest assured that I will tell all my friends, and the internet, about the worst concert experience I’ve ever had. But my story can end with me saying “…but at least Double Tee Concerts did right by me, and refunded my money…” Or I can say “…And then Double Tee Concerts told me that my ticket to this hostage experience was non-refundable.”

Thanks,

B

I am tired of hearing about the BP Oil spill. There, I said it. I know thats an unpopular opinion and its probably selfish but Australia is flooding, the Northeast is buried in snow, and Haiti still needs relief. I’m just suggesting that we focus our efforts and energy where we can make an impact, not on old mistakes and injuries.

thanks for your time. I’ll be here all week.

Things that are pissing me off today:

  • Snow, or rather lack of it. You promised, weatherman.
  • People telling me they were rooting for “you” in the national Championship. Guess who wasn’t on the field???? any of us.
  • mittens. its like asking a seal to use a can opener.
  • baby pictures as Facebook profile pictures. if its you its false advertising (you’re not that cute anymore)- if its your kids, get a personality.
  • skittles. because none are available
