listening to the mean girls musical movie soundtrack atm and for me it's an improvement on some ends and a downgrade on other ends LIKE some songs' instrumentals sound so much cleaner and less overwhelming which is GOOD for a musical movie adaptation but others aka world burn lose the oomph and the dramatics of the og musical counterpart which I understand on a directing aspect but is still quite saddening. that being said I actually quite like the soundtrack-

The online Demri book is so good!! I've known about Demri for nearly 10 years now but there's stuff in there I hadn't read before, you did a great job. I would be so curious to know more about her flaws, as weird as that sounds. I think she's always come across as a perfect human which makes it feel she was almost supernatural. I have trouble articulating it fully in a short message, because I also know that loved ones would rather not speak poorly of her and want to focus on the good, and that should be respected. But I don't know, I think it would be nice to know about her more 'fully'. It seems alluded to in the book and it made me wonder. Flaws make people more relatable, she's always seemed unattainably perfect to me, even with the darkness and addiction. Anyway, great book, and I hope I explained this with the nuance and tact that I intended!

Hi anon, thank you for your question, it is very interesting indeed. We will first let her family and friends talk about the subject.

One aspect of Demri’s personality, according to Austin [Demri’s mom], was her inability to handle guilt. In Austin’s words, “If she offended you, and you didn’t have a cell phone or anything, she would start calling your house, waiting for you to get home to apologize.”

Kathleen Austin: Her concern for others was far beyond her concern for herself.

Barbara Dearaujo: She was constantly on the run. Not sure it was running scared but running for sure. Maybe she was afraid of missing out or just looking for the next thing to stimulate her. I have no clue what it was but I definitely could not keep up with her and whenever I tried or whoever tried we all would end up just as sick, lost and confused and most of us would tap out. She never tapped it seemed, no matter how horrible the circumstances got she could deal with it. Crazy. I wouldn’t call her suicidal but definitely self-destructive. Poor girl. Such a sad story. Demri always and forever a wild wood pixie.

Fabiola Gonzalez: The beautiful soul of Demri is she never had an ounce of hate in her heart. She loved everyone. She was so unconditional even when she was judged and even faulted on her own self-love. She was a good person. Better to others than she was to herself.

Krista Kay: She also had some rough times and went down a heartbreaking road. She was beautiful and complicated, and unforgettable, and human.

Krista Kay: Want to honor their [Demri's and Layne's] memory? Pursue your dreams and talents, lift up others, and take care of your body and mind.

Keli Lake: Demri is special to me because she inspired my self-confidence. It’s complicated since she lacked it herself. It’s like she gave it all away until she was depleted.

Rob Meiser: She was a good person with a big heart but she was fighting demons like most of us.

Jacque Nakken: She always wanted to make others happy, more than herself.

Elsa Schmolke: It’s all very sad but Demri was certainly loved but just so out of control nobody could help her.

Scott Spivey: Always kindness even when she struggled so hard with her demons.

Mara Wheelan: My dear soul sister, she extracted the truly beautiful parts of my soul and made me unafraid. She brought light into the depths of darkness from within. She loved all my ugliness and glorified my uniqueness.

Chay Wilkerson Moore: Demri was like a beautiful flower stuck in a tornado. She was very sweet, most of the time. Always yelled my name and hugged me, made me feel special, like she did most people. Very strong spirit, very bent on destruction, I don’t know why... [She was] The most powerful pretty little thing, with this profound sense of vulnerability that she seemed surrounded by. A princess in distress. I immediately felt the need to protect her in a brotherly way.

For what we've learnt about Demri trough all these years, and reading what her closest people said about the subject, is that she had a poor mental health. She had an addiction in the first place, an addiction usually is the consequence of a poor mental health. She may also was not very self-confident or self-conscious, she always wished the best for all the others but didn't apply to herself. Like Robbie Williams, sometimes the people that look the happiest, have the worst demons, and with no professional help, it is very difficult to fight them.

Maybe she went to drug therapy and I guess that included mental health therapy. But back in the day that was taboo. Still today it looks you are crazy or insane if you admit you go (or have been) to therapy (and I have been and still go!), so imagine back then. Plus if she didn't have the money nor the support, probably for her it was easier to escape her demons by actually taking the thing that caused them - the drugs.

I always find her story so tragic. So young. With so many people around that cared about her, and still she succumbed to drugs. I suppose is what Jerry Cantrell said about Layne. All the band members and his mum tried to help him, but they had their own struggles as well, and if ultimately he didn't want to be helped... there's not much you can do. I wish she could have let herself help.

The book is here for everyone to read it. Please, take care of yourself, look for help and support if you need it. Mental and emotional health are as important as physical health.

7+10 for spivey and 15+24 for robyn?

7. favorite animal? why?

rabbits. one of the least asshole-ish forest animals which automatically raises them to the top of the list. and also they're adorable + relatable to spivey as a fellow extremely afraid forest-dweller

10. if they wear jewelry, what kind? do they prefer silver or gold? do they have a favorite gem?

spivey does not wear jewelry! sometimes bandannas or like cheap plastic stuff ze picks up from the college students though. ze likes bandannas

15. how big or small is their family? who did they live with growing up? do they live with anyone now?

rob is the youngest of four, technically, in that ae has three older siblings who are triplets. ae lived with the triplets and aer two moms growing up and currently lives in an on-campus apartment with sisel!

24. do they have any creative hobbies? (art, writing, music, etc)

ae does a student radio show with sisel and also makes a lot of props and fake gore for humans vs zombies. scaring people is rewarding

Something about seeing them with their parents makes them seem even younger.

best friends from saturday night live making movies together is my favorite thing.

AC/DC's Back In Black remains both one of the biggest sellers and one of the pinnacles of Robert John 'Mutt' Lange's career. To be honest, the latter manages to find himself on many discs that are the former. For instance, he helmed Shania Twain's Come On Over which continues to be the country album with the most sales. Of course, I would hardly call the genre of this LP that, but I think this was the intention Lange and Twain had. They wished to go beyond the boundaries of the idiom, so they basically did a melange of the style with the pop brands popular during the 90's. Sure, the disc can be occasionally too 90's, the single in the link does seem like a good AI approximation of the period, yet the sonic perfectionism of the singer and the producer still makes this a vital platter.

What did you think of the 2022 Tony’s

The right shows won! A Strange Loop was in fact the best musical of the year and Lehman Trilogy was the best play. Company was absolutely the best revival of a musical though I'd argue all of the play revivals were strong enough to win

My only switches would've been Strange Loop for score and either Jaquel Spivey or Rob McClure for best leading actor in a musical. While Myles Frost was good, he was giving a pretty strict impression with very little nuance. But MJ also doesn't allow a nuanced performance from its leading man because the strict thesis of the show is "Michael Jackson is a perfect sunshine spirit and all bad things he's ever done (which we will avoid saying at all costs under pain of lawsuit death) are because of his dad who was mean" which, well, isn't great

speaking of MJ, what a weak performance! Why did they pick a song where the lead barely sings or shows his face?

Just in general, half of the performances were very weak but the other half were very strong, though all of them (except Mr. Saturday Night and Paradise Square) could've used a shot of adrenaline

in all, as someone whose favorite show of the season was The Lehman Trilogy, I was happy!

Hello, it's me again!

You are chosen to be in The Bachelor/rette, who is your Bachelor(ette) and who are the other girls? Or people, you can be diverse! Also... Do you win?

I've actually discussed this with my friend before - no, I don't think I would win. I'm not the kind of person who jumps to an engagement that quick (nor am I that interested in marriage), and I'm like the least publically affectionate person ever, so I would definitely be out night one (or go on Paradise, which I'm all for).

As for who my Bachelor/ette would be?? I would choose Nick Viall, because he gives zero shits anymore and has no respect for the franchise and he's hilarious. Also Mike Johnson. Mike was ROBBED of Bachelor, I will fight anyone and everyone about this. I have tweeted exactly 3 times in the last 5 years, all of them about the Bachelor, one of those to complain that they didn't pick Mike.

Like... UGH. LOOK AT HIM.

(go follow Mike on insta)

Noooo instead they chose fucking PETER. Anyway, I'm done ranting.

(I'm also weirdly obsessed with Michael Garofola who I don't think was ever close to being Bachelor. I don't understand my love of him, he's just adorable.)

If I were on a Bachelorette season... I'm way less judgy of the women so I think its harder to choose my absolute fav.

Bachelorette seasons I'd go on: Tayshia, Katie's doing great so far, Rachel, I'm really looking forward to Michelle (I liked Hannah and Jojo fine but I would want to date neither if that makes sense. I don't know if I'd actually date Tayshia, I think she's fairly conservative/religious? But she's so fucking pretty and I don't actually *know* if the religious thing is true. And she seems really nice and fun). I didn't watch Kaitlyn's season, but she also seems fun af

Bach Nation women I love who would be other contestants: Demi, Serena P, Lily from the NZ Bachelor, Ashley Spivey, Bibiana, Alexis, Corinne for the drama... There are so many and I'm absolutely forgetting a bunch. Like I'm blanking right now. But honestly most of the Bach girls I think I'd be ok with, barring a few.

Bach guys to be other contestants: Tre, Andrew, Catboy from the current season. Ivan from Tayshia's. Derek Peth maybe? I think I just love him solely for the scene of him softly crying in the limo to Don't Cry for Me Argentina after he was eliminated. Wills & Wells. Jordan for fun. Courtney from the Australian Bachelorette. Again, I'm blanking on other guys that I loved and would love to hang out with.

Anyway, this is too long of an answer but I feel like you all should know by now that I can and will talk about the Bachelor FOREVER

Terrence Howard, who found nobility in pimps and savagery in yuppies, turns 52 today. A few movies:

Quentin Spivey in The Best Man. D: Malcolm D. Lee (1999). In this African-American ensemble piece about friendship and jealousy among a group of college friends gathered for a wedding, Howard is the joker in the deck, a goodhearted gadfly who has everybody’s number. When Murch (Harold Perrineau) tells off his domineering girlfriend (Melissa De Sousa) in front of everybody, Quentin says, pointing to the ground “Don’t you think you oughta pick that up?” “What?” “YOUR BOTTOM JAW!” Later though, when Lance, (Morris Chestnut) the football player Groom, finds dirt on Mia, his Bride (Monica Calhoun) and her history with Best Man Harper (Taye Diggs), in his roman a clef novel, Howard demonstrates UN-worthy diplomacy to literally talk all three off of a ledge.

Cameron Thayer in Crash. D: Paul Haggis (2005). In Haggis’s Oscar-winning attempt at a La Ronde of racism, Howard is a successful TV director who internalizes his rage and humiliation when an LA cop (Matt Dillon) feels up his wife (Thandie Newton) at a traffic stop. Later, when a mugger (Ludacris) tries to rob him, he explodes and causes a standoff with cops in the film’s tensest scene. Howard gives a good account of how anybody can be just a slight push away from the edge of reason in an increasingly divided country.

DJay in Hustle & Flow. D: Craig Brewer (2005). Howard got an Oscar nomination for playing a Memphis pimp trying to realize his dream of becoming a hip-hop artist in a movie that takes the word “artist” seriously. Without sentimentality he delivers an intelligent and humane performances as a man looking to get out of the hard world he was born into even as he strives through his art to sort through the contradictions of both that world and his own heart. And when he tries to get the cassette demo to a successful local rapper (Ludacris again), art and commerce collide violently and DJay finds himself a victim of his own duality, Howard conveys the anguish of succumbing to those contradictions.
