Wha???

The following is a list of things that made me go "Wha?" or something similar. The world is a crazy f-ing place.

Ron Artest changed his name to Metta World Peace. AND PEOPLE ARE USING IT LIKE IT'S NORMAL. WHA?

Michele Bachman and Rick Perry are ACTUAL Presidential candidates. Seriously? I mean really, is that a joke? Democrat or Republican, can't we, as citizens of a so-called developed country, demand more from our leading presidential candidates?

According to People.com, 14% of people didn't like The New Girl. That's crazy because EVERYONE should like The New Girl.

THIS happened:

I've never been creeped out by babies before. Until now.

Parks and Rec didn't win any Emmys. That's some boo boo. However, Melissa McCarthy's win was pretty cute, even though she won for Bridesmaids.

I hate coconuts but legit love coconut water. How is that possible?

I'm from Indiana but I have never seen Hoosiers. This is something totally within my control and yet I remain surprised by it.

In the same vein, my husband has never seen Dirty Dancing. I can basically act this movie out as a 1-woman show. Maybe I should trade him Hoosiers for Dirty Dancing and then we'd both be better people.

Elton John's real name is Reginald Dwight! Do you think his husband calls him Reg? Reggie?

George Clooney is currently dating Stacie Kiebler, a former Dancing with the Stars non-Star and before her he dated Elisabetta Canalis, a current Dancing with the Stars non-Star. WHAT IS HE DOING?!?

This was a WTF in a good way:

Note the #1 Sex Champions Banner. Amazeballs.

Oprah's not on anymore. I still don't really believe it and I didn't really watch that often, but it's just something I counted on, like my pillow. What is a world without OPRAH!?

Christina Hendricks' boobs. I love that she's curvy and proud, but her boobs are so big and so emphasized, I can't help but be in shock every time I see her on a red carpet.

The following movies exist: Glitter, Gigli, Battlefield Earth and Death Race. I've seen 2 of the 4. I bet you can't guess which ones.

Snooki tweeted something insightful today. She said that Michael Bolton is a male cougar, which he kind of is isn't he?! But then she followed it up with: they should be called mougars. Also, I follow Snooki on Twitter. Who am I?

Gwyneth Paltrow managed to not look beautiful:

I'm never seeing Contagion.

You're welcome everyone. The world is crazy town and I love it.

Sweet Jams of the Moment

These are the songs currently rocking my world right now. Since I tend to be a smidge too wordy, I'm going to let them speak for themselves as much as possible because they. are. rad.

Carousel by Vanessa Carlton
So glad she's back with her new album!

Love You Like a Love Song by Selena Gomez
If she's good enough for J Biebs, she's good enough for me.

Lyle by Magic Punches
This is the perfect song for when you're not ready to let go of summer. Also, Magic Punches is my friend from ND's band, and they're awesome and everyone should listen to them.

Wonderland by Natalia Kills
Natalia Kills is like Gaga but less self-righteous, therefore more awesome. Sorry Gaga fans, don't be mad, just listen to this great song.

Blood by The Middle East
This song is played at the end of Crazy Stupid Love and it is perfection.

The following songs are inspired by my survival of the hurricane and happen to be on my current playlist:

Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
This song played in an episode of Covert Affairs recently and reminded me how much I LOVE IT. Plus, hurricane appropriate.

Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall by Coldplay
This is Coldplay's latest single and it's awesome. I love them. Gwyneth is so lucky.

Crown of Ages by The Ettes
Pure girl rock. From Whip It. Mentions rain, so again, hurricane appropriate.

What the Water Gave Me by Florence + The Machine
Everything Florence Welch does is completely beautiful. Her new single is no exception. If I were an artist, I'd want to be her.

Matt Nathanson's entire Modern Love album, which you should just go buy. I genuinely like every song, which is about as rare as a unicorn. We're going to his concert the end of September and I will sing along to every word!

That's my latest playlist, enjoy and download the ones you like, especially Magic Punches!
