And now to the good stuff:
Another great night with the ladies of OYTD. Candace revealed that Jeahmaica's population has recently increased. That's right, Candace's roommate is now a proud resident of the sunny island. This girl, who shall remain nameless - we'll call her "K Force 1" - has always expressed a fondness for the backstroker but she's never been the type to get into these celebrity crushes the girls of OYTD are so fond of - not that that never stopped Candace from sharing her obsessions with her. So the other night I was showing her this wonderful video where the Speedo athletes are unveiling the LZR and being interviewed by Mo Rocca (whose humor is obviously going over his
pretty little head) After viewing the video I explain how the suits are a bit awkwardly designed because the lining seems to accentuates certain areas - now I'm sure this is done for athletic purposes but it's basically like putting a giant arrow saying "crotch this way." Anyway, in order to show her how the suit awkwardly frames the swimmers' bodies, I showed her a picture of Lochte from the back - she was very pleased with this image; saying over and over what a nice ass he had. I have to agree but I must say I was surprised by this reaction. Now I don't know at which point this occurred but I distinctly remember her telling me that "If I ever met Ryan Lochte, I would jump him." Can't say I blame the girl. Can you? Honestly I think if any of us had the upper body strength and guarantee of no federal charges, we'd do the same. Anyway, she later explained that she usually doesn't like men who are that muscular but he was an exception... or perhaps, exceptional. I know she likes Matthew Matthew McConaughey and if we've learned anything from Gold Medal Mel it's that Ryan Lochte is the Matthew McConaughey of swimming so it kind of makes sense. Anyway, I knew she really had it bad when I began watching yet another video of the Florida boy and just the mere sound of his voice prompted her to scoot to my side of the couch so she could share in the glory. So "K Force 1" I'd like to officially welcome you to Jeahmaica. Where the sun is always shining, and the boys are always... well... hot.Guess who was in Massachusetts this weekend? Lochte! Guess who didn't see him? Me! That's right. Lochte and I were in the same state and did not cross paths. It's just something I've come to accept. To me, he is mystical creature who I shall never see in real life. Heather said he's my unicorn. Sigh... I suppose he is.
Also, it seems like we've only found one picture of him from the event. EPIC FAIL MASSACHUSETTS. Is there only one photographer in the entire state?!We can't believe the election is tomorrow. It seems like it's taken forever to get here and at the same time it seems crazy that it's so close! In honor of this historic election we played this great video clip of Mos Def telling us what he would do if he were lucky enough to be elected President. He's got some great ideas including eliminating the Electoral College, lowering taxes and making America cool again (for real!) Check out the video here:
Don't forget to vote tomorrow. It might be crowded so bring a book, a magazine or a boom box! Have a voting party!
Nick Jonas is NOT 16. Okay maybe he is but I simply refuse to believe it. Just look at this kid! When I was in High School I never knew anyone that looked this good. Candace's roommate thinks she may have problem because she has a crush on Nick Jonas and on a 17 year old Josh Brolin. In her defense, she only rented The Goonies because she thought Josh
Brolin looked especially attractive when hosting SNL in October and wanted to see some of his past movies. Since she had never seen The Goonies it seemed like a good choice. Now, Candace must have been far past her prime Goonies age because this film fully creeped her out and was far less enjoyable than she had hoped. All she could think about was how Corey Feldman was far too mature for his age and that that poor kid Data was a sad stereotype of character (even if slightly amusing) Also, the bats had very visible string attached to them. Anyway, getting back to the Josh-Brolin-teenager-attraction thing - I would argue that Candace is attracted to a 40 year old Josh Brolin and simply commenting on the fact that he has been attractive since the age of 17. It's more of a retrospective view of sorts. Just seeing a 17 year old Josh Brolin without seeing the hot 40 year old version might not prompt the same reaction. She's not creepy ok?! Nick Jonas is just a freak of nature. A 16 year old boy should not have perfect hair and cut lines - it's just not right! Call me in 2 years, Nick.On a more serious note, we're sad to report that Barack Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, passed away today. We know that she was a very important part of his up
bringing and this must be a very difficult time for the Obama family. We watched him give his an address at a North Carolina rally and he was obviously grief stricken. He wiped away (what we thought were) a few tears and we couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. It's like seeing your dad cry for the first time. We both look up to him so much and it's very difficult to see him go through this - especially now. "Obama Daily" posted some pictures which depicted what we had suspected when watching his address. He was, indeed, crying and as sad as that makes us it also makes us want this victory even more. We wish them all the strength to get through this difficult time and hope for much happier news tomorrow. Apparently, Mrs. Dunham voted absentee - we're glad she got the chance to vote for her grandson and hopefully the next President of the United States.In lieu of gifts they have asked that well wishers "donate to any worthy organization in search of a cure for Cancer." Most cancer research foundations give you the option of donating in someone's name so you can honor a loved one with your donation. Candace's suggestion is to give to the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund but there are so many worthy organizations out there; you can really do your research and find the one that's right for you. If you'd like, you can send your condolences by signing Mrs. Dunham's guest book here
Note: For anyone wondering, the picture previously posted of Obama at the rally yesterday was taken down - not by request but out of respect. You can still view it at "Obama Daily" but I didn't think it had a place here. We were very moved by his display of emotion but do not want to exploit that in any way. We're just not that kind of blog.
