Slightly belated rant on Halloween.
Ah, I know, I’m a little late… but I actually have a legitimate reason this time! For the past two weeks, I’ve been grounded from my phone and laptop due to having a Facebook and not wanting to be a doctor… yeah. I know. I’m such a trouble child, it’s ridiculous. Anyhoooooooo. I thought I’d just welcome myself back with a nice little rant on:
Slutty Halloween costumes. Well, actually, just one in particular: the slutty school girl.
I saw so many school girls this Halloween it’s insane. What’s worse is that many of said school girls were school girls LAST Halloween also! Seriously? I do realize Halloween is the one day girls can wear short plaid skirts and a bra out in public, but can we be a little more creative here? I mean, shouldn’t there at least be some kind of limit to the number of years you can dress up as a naughty school girl?
Oh well. I guess it could be worse with the Twilight craze going on… so thank you, slutty school girls, for not dressing up as Bella Swan.

Sue, part two.
SUE is back by popular demand :]
Even though tennis is over, I’m still going to talk about her because she is possibly even more annoying outside tennis… but that’s a different story. Let’s talk tennis.
So Sue, being a hardcore amazing tennis player (NOTTTTTT), has several unique ways of getting ready for balls. First, there’s the kangaroo jump. Now my coach is always saying that you should do a couple ready hops right before your opponent returns the ball, I understand that, but jumps? I’m not even joking about this. She gets about three feet of air… AND SHE DOES TWO. I suggest we all start doing these jumps… maybe it’ll improve our play because Sue is definitely way better than any of us on varsity will be.
Another thing our beloved Sue does is bend over realllly far when she’s waiting to return the ball. She seriously acts like she’s about to return freaking Andy Roddick’s serve. You would think that with all this preparation, she’d actually hit the ball… but no. It usually flies out… or she completely misses.
But the greatest of all Sue’s tennis tactics? HER GRUNT. Oh. My. God. Now, I can understand grunting when you’re really slamming a ball back, but that is not what Sue does. Sue pulls her racket back and then taps it over. Suddenly you’ll hear a “gahrrhrhrhrhrh!” How could a hit as puny as that elicit a grunt out of someone? There’s literally no force behind it whatsoever! Oh well, I’m not here to judge. Maybe she has a really heavy racket…
Or maybe she just sucks. Yeah, that’s probably it. Oh Sue, you make tennis so much fun.
XO, Becca.
PS. Some people on the team were asking Sue about tennis next year and she thinks she’s playing singles… we’ll see about that.
Kristen Stewart’s dark side?

In the October edition of Interview Magazine, Dennis Hopper talked with Kristen Stewart about her life, how she’s dealing with the success of the Twilight Saga and other projects she worked on.
“The sad thing is that I feel so boring because Twilight is literally how every conversation I have these days begins—whether it’s someone I’m meeting for the first time or someone I just haven’t seen in a while. The first thing I want to say to them is, “It’s insane! And, as a person, I can’t do anything!” But then I think to myself, God damn it, shut the fuck up. ” – Kristen Stewart
I really like how open she is in this interview (maybe our K-Stew is getting better at these interviews after all!) It kind of has a raw feeling to it that makes it sound a lot less superficial than previouis interviews. I have to say that K-Stew really does not hold back in this interview. Cuss words galore. So if that doesn’t bother you, definitely give the interview a look. It’s an interesting read. (:

The reason why my grades suck…
Let’s face it, who wants to talk about how undemocratic China is when the fall shows are starting back up? Not meeee. So instead of doing homework, I downloaded a bunch of fall show pilots from iTunes. At the moment, I have A Beautiful Life, Community, Parks and Recreation, and 90210. Basically, I plan on watching them all then giving you my opinion on each because that seems like a productive thing to do on a Sunday afternoon when I haven’t started my Lit essay and it’s due tomorrow.
>>>>>>
“Gossip” The Office // “Michael, am I gay?!” Oh my god, The Office Season 6 is off to a hilarious start. I actually LOL’d while watching it. I think some of my favorite moments were “Did you pee on a stick?” (Michael) “I did, but it was inconclusive” (Jim) and “If I can’t scuba, then what has this all been for?!” (Creed). Hahaha, so I definitely give this episode an A. (:
“Pilot” The Beautiful Life // Ok, so TBL got cancelled. I cannot believe it. WHY does my life suck? I loved The Beautiful Life. And it’s not all because Nico (from Make It or Break It) is in it… he’s so gorgeous. Anyway, it was actually really good and I’m thoroughly depressed that it was cancelled. A
“Pilot” Community // I love Joel McHale from The Soup so when I saw that he was in this, I knew it had to be funny. And I was right. Definitely just enough cutesy crushes, British accents, and humor to be good. Sooooo, A. Wow, I really suck at this whole critic thing. World’s nicest critic, right here. Well no, give me something Heidi Montag is in (besides The Hills) and it’ll probably get an automatic F…
“Pawnee Zoo” Parks and Recreation // Hmmm, definitely an improvement from last season. It’s actually kind of funny. Still not as funny as The Office or Community, but it’s getting there. B-
“To New Beginnings!” 90210 // Ugh. It was everything I thought it would be: fake, wayyyyy overdramatic, and… filled with middle-aged-looking women posing as high schoolers. D
This list might take me about a week, so keep checking back (:

RIP Patrick Swayze.
Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze’s 2-year long fight with pancreatic cancer ended today. Late last week, he left the hospital to be with his loved ones. Our thoughts go out to his family during this hard time. He was only 57 years old. To read the full story, click here.
New Moon trumps any Kanye/Taylor nonsense.
Kanye’s an ass, yes we know. Can we get on to the real reason many of us were watching the VMA’s? The official New Moon trailer :]
>>>>
Okay. Now that you’ve watched it. OMG. Intense, intense, intense. I really loved the part where Bella is in the water and Jacob is about to pull her out and Bella’s hand dissolves the image of Edward. That was a really cool effect. I also happened to love Dakota Fanning’s acting. I think she’s got the part down really well. Ahhhh (allow me this one fangirl moment), 69 days!
Oh and for all of you who did watch the VMA’s. Can we talk about K-Stew’s hair? It actually looks really good! So let’s give Kristen a round of applause for finally doing her hair. Kudos :]

Weekly Who Review (September 7-13)
The WWR is backkkkkk. :]
1. Fireflies by Owl City // So Alessia first started talking about Owl City and then I saw them on iTunes so I decided to check them out… and I fell in love. Seriously, listening to Owl City is like popping 10 happy pills. Guaranteed to make you smile (: I do homework while I listen to them (“ochw time,” if you follow me on Twitter ;])
2. mylifeisaverage.com // I don’t know about you, but fmylife.com has gotten old. The stories are stale and made up. MLIA.com, on the other hand, is hilarious. I might just love the people who post on mlia.com more than I love my own family.
3. Ellen DeGeneres as the next AI judge // Okay, I don’t watch Idol, but I might just have to now that ELLEN is replacing Paula! Best decision ever made. I can’t wait for Idol to start, Ellen is amazing! AI will definitely be more interesting now… Learn more here.
4. STL Cardinals // We’ve got a freaking dream team this season :] LULZ at the Cubs.
5. Indigo // My two favorite colors in one. What more could you ask for? :] Currently looking for a one-shouldered indigo dress. If you see one, LET ME KNOW.
6. One shoulder dresses // With Homecoming about a month away, it’s time to start thinking dresses, shoes, and (in my case) tennis tan lines. My current obsession is one-shoulder dresses and I happen to LOVVVVE this Jessica McClintock one :] if only I could afford paying that much for a dress I’d wear once…

K-Stew gives a somewhat decent interview.
The Times Online interviewed Kristen Stewart on her career at 19 years old and her work with reknowned actors such as Jodie Foster and Sean Penn. Besides a potentially awkward comment about the bust-size of her ‘Bella’ Barbie, K-Stew managed to act surprisingly normal for once (:
“Really, people don’t recognise me often. I think I just look different in person or something. I’m also not very approachable, and maybe they’re just thinking, ‘Ooohhh, she’s scary.’ It is weird seeing all the marketing, though, and the billboards. I like burgers, but do I want to see my face all over the burger cartons? Not really.” And what if the marketeers bring out further additions to her line of Bella action figures? “The doll?” She smiles. “Well, I guess I can live with that. In fact, I’m getting used to the bigger rack.”
Pfffff, if I had a Barbie doll made of me, I wouldn’t complain about the size of the doll’s boobs… I’d be pretty ecstatic that there’s a freaking DOLL of me, just saying. I guess after you’ve kissed Rob Pattinson, nothing is as exciting anymore…

New Moon in… 73 days. Pumped? I am.
Forget robots, it’s totally vampires.
So as you know, Twilight has become the latest craze in the world of pre-adolescent teenagers… and middle-aged moms, including Alessia’s mom. Don’t get me wrong, when I first started the reading the books, I was pretty obsessed, but HarperCollins is taking the fandom to a whole new level of insanity.
Twilight-related Wuthering Heights covers are now out for your viewing pleasure (or disgust).
Alessia (soulmate! -Amir Blumenfeld) says:
“It’s ridiculous that they [HarperCollins] are taking something so classic and well-known like Wuthering Heights and trying to make it even more popular by connecting it with some ridiculous fad that has gotten out of control.”
So forget War of the Worlds, the only thing taking over the world is vampires.

Poker 101.
Alright, so I have this friend who plays poker on the weekends, and he basically thinks he’s the best out there. We’ll call him Phil. I’ve never seen Phil play before, but for the sake of this post, let’s just give him the benefit of the doubt. So how did Phil get so good at playing poker? From this video:
“This is a very strong hand, I have a backdoor flush draw, a straight draw and I also have a pair draw.” Hahaha, this guy is a baller. He’s pro, for sure. If you play like him, you’ll win everytime.
Seriously.
- Beccaaa.
No, idiot… haha ;]
