Hello! I decided to interview myself. (Yes, you read that right.) That’s just the kind of wacky thing I do. That’s how I got my nickname ‘wacky-doer-of-things-Jessica’.

Sofachip: So, Jessica, what is it that you’ve been watching these days - besides what you’ve mentioned on Sofachip already?

Jessica: A crazy amount of goodness that fills me up with all the angst, joy, and vitamins I need.

SC: But you didn’t answer - What exactly have you been watching, though? What did you watch today?

Jessica: Fine, fine. I’ll speak. I currently have Supernatural season one on DVD which I’ve been watching and just flat-out adoring. I just watched the Bloody Mary episode about an hour ago. See, I had seen most of the first half of the season, but not the rest. I saw the majority of season two, and all of season three. So I wanted to go back - it’s very rewarding to have seen the recent episodes and then go back to the initial ones and see how it all started. Also, these DVDs are honestly possibly the best DVDs I’ve ever seen in terms of TV shows on DVD.

SC: Why is that?

I’m finding it frustrating to find a way to write this post, so all I can do is first tell you that. The frustration is eating my soul! And if I was still a teenager, I’d probably be ‘eating’ (biting) my fingernails. Trying to focus…trying to focus…*spins around in chair* What is my point here? Well, I’ve discovered a musical artist (maybe you know him, chances are decent that you don’t yet) that I’m so happy to have found that I want to share him with you guys. A name might be helpful, and lucky for me he does have one: Mason Jennings.

If you ask me, that’s a wonderful name. Then again, after Callum Blue (another great name) played ‘Mason’ on Showtime’s Dead Like Me, I’ve always loved the name. (Oh! Need a good TV show to watch for summer cause reality TV is (generally) so devoutly suck-worthy? I highly recommend Dead Like Me - The Complete First Season)

I’m listening to Mason Jennings MySpace right now, and have been for the past three-ish days, so let me link you there so you can listen now. Mason Jennings MySpace

Ever hear a song on the radio (some of us still listen to that) and rush to copy down some lyrics so you can google the song and artist later? I do that. That’s how this particular discovery happened.

I guess the word I want to use here is, impressed. I’m so wholly impressed by ‘the entire package’ as they say. The music, the lyrics in the music, what he updates his MySpace with, how he speaks and what he says (i.e. his mind) in interviews… I can firmly say that this is who I believe to be a musician of gratifying substance.

The song I heard on the radio that made me go ‘hey - I need to find locate this, drop everything else stat!’, was Continued

While I wasn’t looking, the Dead Like Me movie has been progressing. It’s kind of like…*thinks* doing the treadmill so much while watching the entire first season of The Office (again) that you realize you’ve lost some weight without trying. Or something! They replaced Laura Harris as Daisy Adair with Sarah Wynter (Laura Harris had another gig at the time), and Rube is not in it (Mandy Patinkin was unavailable as well) - but it still looks really good, and I’m eager to see it.

First up, is this. This is not the trailer for the movie. This is just something I found and think is fantabulous in utmost fantabulosity. This video is so fun and happy, you almost forget that this show was about death!:

Upon discovering Postcards From Yo Momma I have felt uplifted that I am not the only one with a crazy mother. I suppose this is nice timing (I can’t actually say I planned this) since Mother’s Day is fast approaching. I had to google the day myself. For anyone who may have forgotten and are asking themselves ‘when is Mother’s Day anyway?’ - worry no more: it’s on Sunday, May 11th for 2008. But as for a Mother’s Day gift, that’s up to you. And here’s some wise, kind advice: no one wants another coffee mug.

This post is similar to one I did about The Office, remember that? If not, that’s why we have tags! Basically, I’m taking the actual real quotes, and then assigning a TV character to match. It’s a fun game to learn and play. So, hereeee we go!

I must love you
This will be the title of all my e-mails from now on, since everything you ask me to do is a royal pain in the ass.

Could have been said by: Joy Lass from Dead Like Me (actress Cynthia Stevenson). Ever so cynical, you know she’d be a difficult mom to deal with.

Passover
Dear Sweetie Pie,

I have acquired a beautiful yet practical blue, gold,and clear glass seder plate for the [xxx] family. It is the kind I would choose for myself: artistic yet easy to wash, not too heavy, and having no crevices for food to stick to. It’s too bad they won’t have it for the first night of Passover. I hope they don’t go out and buy one. Can you hint that they won’t have to after Sunday? It would be a shame.

I hope your day went well and without travail.

Did [xxx] get my email?

Love, MOM

Could have been said by: Emily Gilmore from Gilmore Girls (actress Kelly Bishop). Specific, ridiculous requests have always been her specialty.

Aspertame
In my previous email, I forgot to mention the article about aspertame was under-previous columns.
You should also read the article on fungus.

Could have been said by: Temperance Brennan from Bones (actress Emily Deschanel) if she was a mom right now.

Jewlez CD
Hey,

I got a package from Jewlez (or something name like that today from Florida.) I opened it and it was a brand new Doors CD. I have not ordered a Doors CD. Did any of you? With the way things are, I wanted to follow-up to make sure no one is using my name/ID.

Well, if you solve the mystery, you get a prize. (No, it is not a trip to Hawaii, but it could be a very nice dinner at Applebee’s.

Also, Maisie has to have expensive surgery next week. Taz is ugly and your dad snores. My life is rich beyond words.

LOVE TO YOU ALL!

MOM

Could have been said by: Regina from Samantha Who? (actress Jean Smart). She is the type to drone on about her problems, be a tiny bit clueless, and then also say something sarcastic that makes you love her.

Cycle ten of America’s Next Top Model brought us the inevitable and entertaining makeover episode last night.

The girls were taken to Wal*Mart and had a Cover Girl makeover challenge of applying their own make-up. Though there was the trouble of having to apply make-up using one mirror, the models (in training) were specifically told the three products they should focus on.

This means they were told exactly what the judges were looking for. This should have made it easier for the models, and the show (probably) wouldn’t have done this if they were not supposed to endorse three specific new Cover Girl products.

I was stunned at the results of this make-up challenge. If you want to be a model, one could easily assume that you’ve played with make-up on your own before. (Aside from Lauren, she is excused.) While a mirror is beneficial for application of products, if you’re in a competition you do your best. They had to apply foundation, and if you dab it on lightly and and blend it in with your fingers (the warmth of your fingertips helps it blend) you’ll only need a few seconds in the mirror to check if it’s okay. They also had to apply lip gloss, which can be easily applied by dabbing it on with your fingers to get a nice and easy shine - and since it’s gloss it’s much easier than lipstick. Mascara is the most difficult thing they had to apply, but I’m pretty certain I can apply this without a mirror if I have to.

The girls who did well were Whitney and Claire. Allison did okay, although she seemed to have gobbed on the lip gloss and the mascara. Fatima did badly. The girl who won the challenge was Claire who had a perfect glossy pout, and flushed cheeks.

After the make-up challenge Dominique and Claire vocalized that they ‘wanted it more’ because they were Mom’s. Amis agreed with them. Somehow I doubt she’ll feel too bad if she beats them.

Since I’m about to talk about Barbie, I want to mention that I kinda love this bumper sticker.

In an odd comedic moment, Allison (reminding me of Sarah Silverman even more) had Barbie Dolls and used them to act out a scene of one calling the other’s backside fat. I want to know where the frak she GOT Barbie Dolls from? Did she bring them? Whoa. Anyway, it turned out that Fatima Continued
