Walking Dead

FaceTiming with Xavier today, we got on the topic of Lennie James and basically how kick ass that guy is and Xave told me that he was on a Dead ep not long ago - finally. Being that I am forever behind the rest of the world and have only seen seasons one and two of The Walking Dead, Xave filled me in on *spoiler alert* Lori's death. I already knew about it and was only too pleased since she was not a favourite of mine.

I asked, "So how did she die, anyhow?"
"Carl put her down."
"Shut the fuck up. Are you serious?"
"Yeah, she had the baby and Maggie had to deliver and they had to do a Caesarian."
"Shit. Maggie's the girl on the farm? Glenn's girl, right?"
"Yeah, that's her. Well, for a C-section they basically saw ya in half, yank out your guts and toss 'em on your chest. Then they go into the uterus and pull the kid out. I mean, it's major surgery."
"And clearly this wasn't being done in a hospital."
"Fuck no! So, she basically bled to death cause no farmer's daughter can fix that. I mean, I don't know how she is with fuckin' drapes but she ain't savin' Lori, ya know?"

When Xavier said drapes I completely lost it. That kid cracks me the hell up. After my return from Europe we are catching me up on all the eps I've missed. God bless DVR.

Tellin' It Like It Is

I don't want to jump on the bandwagon but, this gal needs to seriously check herself. Read on:

Email from Bishop:

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are going to cut her: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/03/05/taylor-swift-tina-fey-amy-poehler-vanity-fair_n_2813501.html Just sayin'.

--from The Huffington Post article:

No one likes being the butt of a joke, but Taylor Swift is still sore about Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's quips at her expense during the 2013 Golden Globes.

At the top of Vanity Fair's April cover story on the singer and her personal life, Swift responds to a question about the Golden Globes joke -- the one where Fey insisted that she "stay away from Michael J. Fox's son" after her breakup with One Direction singer Harry Styles -- and "mean girls" in general, by recalling a favorite Madeline Albright quote told to her by Katie Couric.
“You know, Katie Couric is one of my favorite people,” Taylor Swift told Vanity Fair contributing editor Nancy Jo Sales. “Because she said to me she had heard a quote that she loved, that said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.’”

My response:

The quote from Katie Couric? Yeah, Swift didn't get that Katie was actually referring to how Taylor isn't helping women by painting young girls as vulnerable and vengeful. The female population is so much more than the males we date. Try writing about the billions of other things that make women extraordinary. Putting down men only makes you look like a talentless one trick pony.

Bish:

Damn, girl you are on fire! This is blog GOLD!

Star:

Honestly, Taylor needs to ask herself why she feels that other women need to help her? Why is she so upset by this comment? Is it perhaps the truth it holds?

Bish:

Honey, my mother always said, "Speak the truth and shame the devil."

Black Betty, Sort of...

My little brother is usually found singing random songs, one of which is Ram Jam's Black Betty. Well, my nephew clearly picked up on this and last week he was walking around his room singing. However, Little Z's version went ♫Black belly, bam-ba-lam, black belly had a child...♪
Now that's adorable.
