I honestly think Lea Salonga has one of the purest GREAT voices in the world. I heard her singing this in middle school and I went through a Broadway-obsessed stage for a while because of it.
And she does pop too—youtube her singing Poker Face haha.
Just attached her “Poker Face”.
Jeez, Sherry, why weren’t you in the States when her concert came to Chicago this fall? I didn’t go because no one I knew loved her as much as I do. :(
Patrick Stewart on Seasame Street: “B or Not a B?”
Just prepping myself for the soon-to-be-aired David Tennant/Patrick Stewart Hamlet special of awesomeness. (Seriously, it’s a fangirl’s wet dream: Ten v. Capt. Picard!!!)
Sometimes I forget that I un-ironically love High School Musical.
I mean, Gabriella can suck it, but otherwise, it’s pure love. *glomps*
Thank you, Kenny Ortega, for not giving up after Newsies.
If I were better at the internet...
I would have a delicious (or de.licio.us or whatever it’s called) and bookmark the fanfics I’ve read that I have liked enough to want to come back to instead of having to search archive after archive for a story that was probably not as good as I remember it to be.

Backstreet Boys respond to Day at the Office
*As “I Want It That Way” Plays*Interviewer: How long is this song?
Howie: Way too long and it doesn’t make any sense.
I love them all too much. Mostly Brian. He’s so adorable.
So the French APPARENTLY hold 50 Cent in somewhat high esteem
shlin:
because I just found a newspaper that was pretty much dedicated to 50 Cent, labeling him as the “editor in chief” for the issue of the day. Mind you, this isn’t some like rapper-themed publication—it’s the free journal called Le Metro that I pick up everyday on my way to class. But as it reported on all of the current events, next to each article you see 50 Cent’s opinion about the issue. Oh, Obama’s visit to China? 50 Cent’s got something to say about it. And that French boat that sank mysteriously? Yup, that too.
I honestly never gave 50 Cent a second thought until I saw him on Graham Norton on BBC America this weekend. He was with Catherine Tate and Jimmy Carr and it was possibly the most ridiculous slash amazing group to have ever existed. I was laughing SO HARD.
I still don’t think his music is my cup of tea, but 50 Cent is legitimately funny and just comes across as a really chill, cool dude. Who knew?
Star Trek meets Celine Dion.
LOVE IT.

Being Erica ~ Season 2 Opening
Season 2 finale just about broke my heart.
WALL OF MEN!
I was going through the photos on my computer and found this relic of my freshmen year dorm room! I’ve never been a poster girl, but I do enjoy eye candy, so to spice up my side of the room, I printed out photos of my men of the moment and pasted them on the wall.
The Top Three
At the end of senior year, my high school friends Beckie, Katy, and I each determined our “Top Three” men. These were men you’d watch read a phone book you found them that attractive. My chosen Top Three: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Colin Firth.
(Sadface for Heath Ledger. :( )
The Rest
- David Duchovny
- James Marsden
- Ewan McGregor
- Alexander Hamilton
- Hugh Grant
- Tom Welling
- Link
- Conan O’Brien
- Hugh Jackman
- James Franco
- Josh Groban
- Jared Padalecki
- Anson Mount
- Matt Long
- Joe Flanigan
It’s weird looking at this because although I certainly still find these men attractive, some of them are obviously “phases”: Anson from Conviction and Matt from Jack and Bobby are the clearest in that regard. Also, I love how a “type” generally formulates very quickly (dark haired, broody/soulful with a snarky humor) except for the three in the center: Alexander Hamilton, Link from The Adventures of Zelda, and Conan O’Brien.
Edit: I just found some of the captions in an old word document. A few choice ones: “Hugh Grant: Prime Minister of Delicious”, “Hugh Jackman: Woof”, and “Joe Flanigan: Yes, Sir”.
Oh, Freshman Year Melissa. You’re so ridiculous in retrospect, but I still love you.
