It's pretty hard to look stupid next to a shirtless 16-year-old with neon yellow hair and insane, giant, crazy-straw sunglasses. But this newscaster pulls it off with considerable smarm and disingenuousness.
Conclusion: Corey Worthington should be an example to us all. Never take off the glasses. NO APOLOGIES.
My new book is finally, officially, actually finished which means I can now devote myself to the important task of tending to this BLOG. I know, I know... it's not like anyone reads or cares about blogs anymore. In fact, I'm pretty sure the blog as an artform has been basically dead for a year-ish, at least. But whatever. I'm going to soldier on anyway. Maybe I'll perk up as I go along. If not, I'll just post funny videos and hope it keeps the traffic rolling in. The thing is that it turns out finishing a book is really depressing. This is always true, but I always forget. You would think it would be a great feeling of accomplishment, but instead it's just panic about the fact that it's not as perfect as you want it and soon everyone is going to be reading it and judging you. Or more likely not reading and not judging, which is of course worse. Either way, it's done now and there's nothing I can do about it now. Look for THE BLONDE OF THE JOKE this fall. Hopefully I'll have the cover to post soon.
In the meantime, to gear up for it, I'm going to be posting a weekly essay about my favorite blondes in history, starting this week with either Jodie Sweetin from Full House or Stacy from the Babysitter's Club. I can't decide yet. I'll also be posting the usual blog crap-- dumb videos, pictures of cats-- as well as my famous cultural criticism. (Mean things about Tyra Banks and the monstrous Bindi Irwin.)
Okay, yay. I know this is all really boring but it feels good to finally get it all off my chest.
LOVE,
BENNETT
