Original Proposal!

A couple in Boston recently became engaged after the groom-to-be, Aric Egmont, proposed to Jennie Bass in a....CROSSWORD PUZZLE?! The couple claim to be avid crossword puzzle lovers who often complete them together. Being something they love sharing, it was only appropritate for Aric to come up with this idea. He called up the editors of the Boston Globe and requested they do a puzzle which featured the line "Will You Marry Me Jennie?" In the latest issue of the Globe Sunday magazine, the crossword theme was "Popping the question" which featured a variety of proposals such as "Macrame artist's proposal" which was "Let's tie the knot." 35 Across was 16 letters for poker player's proposal "May I have your hand?" while others included Jennie's sisters name and her best friend's name which she originally thought of as just coincidence. Then came 111 across, whose clue read "Generic proposal" (Jen + Aric = generic). The answer was "Will you marry me?" 116 across read "Winston's [Churchill] mother" and the answer was "Jennie." Her answer was a Down clue beginning with the "Y" in "Marry" - YES.

Season Finale

Noggin aired the season finale of South of Nowhere. This season of Nowere picked up from the aftermath of the shooting which occured last season. Season 3 featured heavy drama, showcasing Chelsea's struggle alone with her pregnancy after losing Clay as well as losing the baby. Aiden, who was also shot but survived, began experiencing constant nightmares of the night of the shooting. Spencer and Ashley split in the beginning of season 3 for their relationship became too complicated. Spencer sought comfort in new-girl Carmen but soon distanced herself after Carmen became abusive. Spencer's relationship with her mother also suffered as she learned that her mother had still not accepted her homosexuality or her relationship with Ashley. Madison and Aiden reunited, not as a couple again, but as friends with extra benefits or "crime fighters" as they liked to refer to their intercourse sessions. By the end of the season, Madison left and ended her "sessions" with Aiden, Chelsea became part of the group again, and Glen became Ashley and Kyla's security guard. Ashley managed to mend broken relationships with both Spencer's mother and Spencer herself. She convinced Spencer's mother to attend the Gay Pride event taking place and also reunited with Spencer herself. Looking forward to Season 4!

I was on the radio/Chris Crocker!

Chris Crocker, a 19 year old from-no one knows where (he doesn't release that info apparently)-spends his spare time creating videos for YouTube. His videos range from being unique, thought-provoking, and hilarious, and on occasion all of the above. The avid Britney Spears fan recently made a video in which he defended her and claimed that if someone has a problem with her, they'd have to see him. Since posting the video, Crocker's video has been featured on Fox news and TMZ.com. He even scored a radio interview earlier this afternoon. I was dissapointed that so many haters called in. Why bother if you're just going to be rude. The hosts were even rude.I called in the radio and I proudly stated how much I love Chris Crocker's talent-so proud that I slipped out "Fuck the haters." Haha they pretty much were making fun of me and calling me stupid for letting that one slip on-air. What I want to know is...how they let "Nigger" and "Faggot" be aired, as they are deragotive?

Anyway, check out Chris Crocker on Myspace or on YouTube.

VMAs 2007

UGH. I was really trying to refrain myself from writing about Britney Spears simply because almost every other website/radio/television show has covered her...yet I have my own comments to make. I'll say that I'm disappointed Britney didn't do too well. While I'm not a huge fan, especially of her erratic behavior, I think everyone should get a second chance to redeem themselves, and their careers, and I wish she had taken advantage of the evening. Anyway, more about the evening: Sarah Silverman...yech! Just no no no. I really disliked the routine. Why degrade your comedic talent and resort to referring to Britney's babies as "mistakes?" Children are the last thing one should judge when it comes to celebrities, they have no fault in their parent's actions or decisions. Justin Timberlake...I thank you for speaking your mind to MTV. PLEASE PLAY MORE VIDEOS. I liked Chris Brown's performance which had a Charlie Chaplin feel to it (I love it)...and that is pretty much all I saw. Work on making a better, less scandalous (I missed the Tommy Lee/Kid Rock fight!) awards show next year....and don't make it in Las Vegas again.

FOUND

Readers: Disregard the post about the missing student from Florida State University. Fortunately, Ryan Giacomin was found, alive and healthy. He was not kidnapped, robbed, etc. Instead, he was in jail for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence. He gave police an alias but a guard recently recognized him from a newscast. I just feel bad for everyone who was worried about him...
