Well if I were to sum up this week in a word that word would be anxious. But this is not twitter and we need not sum things up, which is why I love blogs you can be as tedious and imperious as you wish. This week has been full of long days with many things coming to an end and many unexpected things beginning(none of which are wonderful…). Aside from important things in life I happened to stumble upon an interview with Michael Cera, and it was fantastic, it was Michael Cera interviewing Michael Cera and it definitely made my week a bit better knowing that something of this nature existed. You can read it here, and I highly suggest you do. This leads me straight into something that made my week absolutely wonderful! There is a website called BulletMedia.com and they have a magazine as well, it has become one of my favorite sites. They have articles on pretty much anything you can think of and they conduct wonderful interviews. Bullet, for me, has been a preferred source of enjoyment for some time and they never cease to impress with their eclectic abundance of material. Bullet magazine is also responsible for providing with a fantastic moment, they posted a simply wonderful article about a women who sued IMDB for revealing her real age. All I am going to say is that it makes me so (*insert sarcasm here*)proud to know that we live in place and time where this actually happens. Yes someone actually sued someone and thought "Hey they just told everyone my real age I think I will sue them and draw more attention to the fact that I am older than I said." and to make more wonderful she lost. You can read the article here! I also watched Wayne’s World this week and was pretty surprised that I enjoyed it. I actually don’t like Mike Meyers; yes I know what you’re thinking, “I can’t believe she doesn’t like something! I thought she loved everyone!” Well no, I don’t love everyone, and I’m sorry you had to find out this way. Back to Wayne’s World, I enjoyed it, but not because of Mike Meyers*insert thumb pointing down here*, but I instead enjoyed it because of Dana Carvey who I found to be very funny.

The song of the week is Valerie by Amy Winehouse. Valerie was originally by British indie rock band The Zutons back in '06 but I absolutely adore the Amy Winehouse version.
Now you may be asking yourselves "Hey what do you think of Amy Winehouse?" my reply would of course be "I'm glad you asked. Ahem... I view Amy Winehouse as our modern Billie Holiday (Which is quit a compliment coming from me because I consider Billie Holiday to be one of the most legendary women to grace this world with her beaming and dominant presence.) she had one of the most powerful voices and strength that most cant even begin to dream of having. I also see Amy Winehouse as beginning a pathway and introducing the mainstream public into the soul and jazz style of music so that women such as Adele and Paloma Faith can now come in and really make soul and jazz not only popular in modern culture but make it a desirable genre to listen to for people who may never have been exposed to it before. Which makes Adele our modern day Ella Fitzgerald and Paloma Faith our modern Etta James, all these women deserve a major round of applause for there breathtaking abilities *Pause and Applaud*." and that is a simple summary of how I feel about Amy Winehouse and her continuing influence on music. I proceed to rank Miss Winehouse on my scale of R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
Amy Winehouse ranks in just above Joan Crawford, the reason is she is rough around the edges and by no stretch of the imagination a perfect person but she embodies an idea and a passion that few have and for this reason she has my complete and unreserved respect.
On a different note 8 Out Of 10 Cats has come to the end of their 15th series, which has deeply depressed me for the simple reason that I wont get to see Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock and Jon Richardson every week. Glorious were the days when I knew however bad my week may go that there would an episode of 8 Out Of 10 Cats to console my despair. Anyway I have also been getting excited by the news that we should all be expecting a second season of Bad Education! This news came as a surprise me, it was on there wiki page but I apparently hadn't bothered to read this and evidently gave up on the show until Jack Whitehall tweeted about it and said:
Bad Education is a great little quirky show with great characters and delightfully light hearted comedy, the thought of Jack Whitehall as an immature teacher in funny enough and than add in a humorous cast and you have won me over. Also youtube needs to lighten up on its copyright laws, some of us don't live in the U.K. and we can only access certain British shows on youtube so please give us break and leave British shows up for longer than ten hours. Also a big thanks to people who upload them, seriously you are doing America a great service!
No week is complete with out a good hearty laugh somewhere amidst all the stress and frantic confusion. This week there was a certain someone who had me laughing and this person would be Jon Richardson(I know what you're thinking and yes he is the one from 8 Out Of 10 Cats I was talking about, I applaud you're enthusiasm and interest!). So here is my laugh of the week
My weekly accomplishment this week was the finished shoe-shelf/vanity that is now on lovely display in my corridors.
I also am going to include this video of classic female film stars having a smoke, because I can.
I now must bid you farewell...
Keep Rockin' and Rollin'
