As I still mourn the loss of my glasses, some things continually cheer me up like:

1) THE FIERCENESS OF BRITNEY: especially in If U Seek Amy, where she not only gets a shot at Megyn Kelly of Fox News, but does her sweetest housewife persona complete with a pink Lacoste polo and humble American pie. Wait you say, isn't she a filthy BDSM whore in the beginning? WHAT AN AMAZING TWIST IN PLOT. Her performance for this at the concert was beyond bizarre, as well.



2) THE CUTENESS OF JAY BRANNAN: I am in LOVE with him so so much. Not only is he basically my personal hero -- I mean, he has some huge cojones doing this all by himself (he's the CEO of his own record label -- he's also talented and sweet and self-deprecating and UGH I want him now. Anyways he has a small skit in his new video and after watching it, you'll totally want to eat him and his cuteness up too.



Show me your favourite videos please. My exams don't start till April 16th, meaning basically I am free to fuck around the interwebz for two weeks. Sweeet.

So I've been listening to Circus non-stop throughout the week. I must reiterate that it's not as good as Blackout's endless string of awesomeness (Piece of Me, Radar, Toy Soldier, Hot as Ice, Ooh Ooh Baby). It's a shame that Circus's best songs are b-sides like Amnesia, Quicksand and of course, Trouble. But If U Seek Amy, Mannequin and Unusual You really make up for the rest of the weaker points in Circus (like Mmm Papi...or My Baby, oh dear).

I slept over at Jenn's place with Camille and Solomon on Friday night to study for stats, and instead of pouring over regression or correlation or ANOVA tables or the much beloved Chi-Square Tests, we gorged ourselves on ice cream, chocolate and regular chips and talked about Britney, Jenn's brother ("Felix, you are NOT HITTING ON MY BROTHER WHEN HE COMES HOME DRUNK!"), annoying best friends, anorexic friends and sex positions. Needless to say, despite being fun, I don't think we're ever going to have another study sleepover. Stats destroyed us three.

Oh well, guess who's going to see Britney on March 19th!!!

So I bought Britney's new album, and although it's not as good as Blackout, it's still DYNAMITE. And my friend just forwarded me to her new (and full) video for CIRCUS, and she is most definitely on her A game again. She looks amazing with her platinum blonde hair at shoulder length and her dancing is slowly getting lubed up. And I love her crazy looks at the end of the song near the climax.

AND I'm buying tickets to her show tomorrow with Jenn for the March 18th show in Toronto! I hope I can get some/I'm so EXCITED. I've never been to her concerts before (gasp), but I'm finally old enough to have a credit card and do whatever the hell I want without guilt, and finally all the Britney hate is gone and I can go with friends now. I'm so damn excited.

One thing I'm worried is that she might crack again. I haven't watched the documentary but, dang, I heard she got deep sometimes and how it got kind of heart-wrenching to watch some scenes. And when I saw this, I couldn't help but feel as if she's just reading off some script, singing and dancing through orders and living a life she tried so desperately to discard just last year:



I mean, she looks amazing. But she seems so "I'm going to say this as fast as I can to get this over with and to not screw up". I don't know, I hope she's on her way to being comfortable in her own skin again.
