friends only adding selectively


i'll never be the vision of a girl who can write poetry
i'll never be the little black dress we've seen on natalie b.
i'll never be five foot ten, i'm barely five foot three
i'm on solitary sand, but in parentheses

Wow. Contrary to popular belief (/what I'm about to post), I, as a matter of fact, have ventured out into the real world multiple times this week. An actual update is in the works, but this right here is my final spam of '09/FOR FOREVER AND A DAY. I promise. But I figured we should try to end '09 on the most JOYOUS NOTE EVER, which could clearly be done with none other than Mary Richards. And mostly I just needed an outlet for the ridiculous outpouring of love I hold for this show. Nbd.

In reality, there are probably a grand total of .2 people that will fully appreciate this. But suck it, f-list, it needed to be done. And it took surprisingly little effort on my part. So before we begin, I have only one question to ask of you: who can turn the world on with her smile?


you might just make it after all tmtms
a picspam
: the theme song season 2

Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? )

Want to view the song in action? There's a pretty ick-quality vid here. But it suffices.
Perhaps you want the song itself. Download a cover by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts here!

 Essentially, if you've never watched this show, or you haven't seen it in years, make it your new year's resolution to do so. Thanks, Hulu. And now if you'll please excuse me, I'm off to go crawl into an eljay-less hole until 2010 in the hopes of freeing up some much-needed space on your f-lists. Happy new year, y'all. (♥!)

I know I usually go off on a big schpiel before I post a spam, but really now: as if this spam even needs a justifiable reason or explanation of any sort. Words, THEY ARE UNNECESSARY. It's teeny-ish as far as my spams go, but It's Complicated sent me into a Meryl!tailspin the other day and obviously I haven't been putting up too hard of a fight since. Please enjoy/I'm pretty sure you're mentally confused if you don't. Post is public, la de da.

you've left me speechless »

All an actor has, I think, is their heart, really...that's the place you go for your inspiration. If my heart wasn't filled with inspiration, where would I get stuff? What would I have to express? )

"We need art as much as we need good works. You need it like food. You need it for inspiration, to keep going on the days that you're low. We need each other in that way."

Okay, my little ones, the time has come. The day is finally upon us. (Tomorrow.)

Yes, this is a day early, but I figured we could just kick off the celebration in advance since I go back to classes tomorrow and I'd rather not have it looming over my head all day. BUT BASICALLY DECEMBER 1st IS GODDESS BETTE MIDLER'S 64th BIRTHDAY. And 16 x 4 = 64 (for all of you who are as mathematically-challenged as I am at heart), so I decided that we should all get in the spirit and celebrate her super sweet 16 ...x4. Last year I picspam'd, but I felt that this year warranted something more.

This post spans her movies, music, and God knows what else, and I've had it in the works for I don't even know how long. I tried to make use of lesser-known aspects of her career; I talk about the movies you presumably haven't seen (but you should), the songs they didn't put on her greatest hits albums (but deserve to be on them all the same), and the pictures that were never front-page material (but are in my book). If you take anything at all away from it, awesome. If not, that's cool, too, because essentially this is just me taking full advantage of an excuse to be even more Bette-crazed than I already am on a daily basis. And saying a generous thank you from the bottom of my heart to Ruth and Fred Midler, wherever you are up there in the sky, for bringing my favorite person on the planet into existence 64 years ago.

Blah, blah, whatever, rambling, HURRS WE GO.

Happy 64th, Miss M —

(Also, what, how is that the bod of a 64-year-old.)

Part 1 || 16 movies you should (probably) see
If a man ever bought that for me, not only would I have sex with him, but I would enjoy it. )

Part 2 || 16 quotes that are (probably) accurate
I never know how much of what I say is true. )

Part 3 || 16 songs you've (probably) never heard
I'm gonna close my eyes and I will fly away. )

Part 4 || 16 pictures you will (probably) adore
I mean, I have unplumbed layers. Honestly, you ride around in a wheel chair and a fish tail for a couple of decades, and nobody takes you seriously! )


I don't know about you, but I'm freakin' exhausted. But please, join me again next year for the 65th divine installment in the Bette Midler birthday collection. Only 366 more days to go!
