The One, Lone Cat is Back in Town... Kind Of!

Woefully, I have departed with my dear Natalie. She will be spending the year in France, leaving me a neglected blog and one less friend to help me through my senior year.

Shit.

Summer is over, and, to reflect my mood, the rain has set in.

I recently acquired a job looking after, and cleaning up after and around, dogs. Imagine, if you will, a cleaning lady. Now imagine this cleaning lady cleaning for 25 dogs. While trying to catch them, stop them from fighting, playing to violently, or humping, and scrubbing every inch of their play rooms. It's so tiring. But. I enjoy it.
My fear, however, was that I would begin replacing my friends that have left me this year, with dogs. I'm sad to report that this has already happened! I find myself talking about these dogs constantly. Oops. Who needs humans, right?

Alright, some music. The first three go together beautifully, and the last is completely random. Uhm. I like them all.



Bon Iver- Holocene (Get the GORGEOUS music video for free on iTunes!)




Feist- How Come You Never Go There (Current favorite, it's so catchy and wonderful and asjhdka.)



James Blake- Limit To Your Love (I had a serious love affair with James Blake's music this summer... I'm completely enamored with it. And I get to see him in October!)



King Fantastic- Why? Where? What? (So catchy. I can't get it out of my head.)

Okay, I think that's it for me today. I'm hoping the empty space and lone responsibility will force me to write more often.
Until later, Slandered English.

Summer and Jaspal Bhatti's Full Tension

No more classes, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks! Thank GOODNESS it's finally summer! Oh my god, I was beginning to slack so hard at the end of the year. And of course because we live in wonderful New England, snow days pushed back the end about a week. Anywhoooo it's summer and both Ameera are reppin' a lot of America right now: we're kind of not working.

You know who else isn't either?

1. Whitey Bulger

2. Charlie Sheen

3. Hosni Mubarak

4. The fine, young gentlemen in the video below.

The Catz Are Back in Town.

Well... This is awkward. Running into you like this. I meant to call... But... Yeah I know, I said I would call. I'm sorry. I've been... Yeah, busy. Mm... We should catch up some time. Yes. I'll call you.

So, Slandered English. I cannot apologize enough for the unprecedented hiatus. I have been tending to the garden gnomes. But we intend to be back! And better than ever!

The plan: This April, a whole new Slandered English. Like, really. All new. There are surprises in store.

Until then, you must wait with bated breath.

Wishing the best to you all catz and kittenz,
Ameera

Hipsters Driving Hipster Cars

So we're essentially past the climax of the economic meltdown  economic downturn. And, someone (sorry I totes forgot who) just published a report stating that it could have been avoided. Wooowwww! Some serious thinkers we have here. Remember Hummers? Yeah. I do. I rode in my friend's bright yellow Hummer to our 8th grade semi-formal and we blasted Hannah Montana the whole way. It was pretty sweet.

Anywhoo, let's talk about cars. Yes, it's true that personally I would be totally helpless if anything at all went wrong with the family car (which was recalled by Toyota JOY). Stranded on the side of the road, clueless. Change a tire? Yeah. Right. That's why I have AAA. 

But! I can watch car commercials and infer how they've changed with society. Not exactly skills that will help me if I get stranded in the middle of nowhere (like ummmm 95% of NH?), but in terms of hipster credibility, I think I deserve a few brownie points.

CASE # 1: The Ford Explorer meets Jónsi.
First of all, Ford isn't even a hipster brand. VW, maybe. Subaru, sure. But Ford?! I was suprised. And a Ford Explorer? Most hipsters are waaayyy to environmentally friendly for SUV shit like that. 




But I will say that this made me want to go drive to like, Wyoming, and pretend to be really, really Americana.

CASE # 2: Honda meets Vampire Weekend
They were getting really popular anyways. But, still. Just another example of how hipsters are taking over the world.





CASE #3: Okay, no case of hipsters taking over the world. Pretty sure there's another Honda commercial with something totally hipster, but this commercial definitely is the most adorable thing ever. Nooo, I didn't tear up a little. I didn't well up inside. Noo way.



The moral of this blog post?

Hipsters are slowly taking over the world even though most of them live in Brooklyn where monthly parking is probably more expensive than the Macbook Pro I'm typing on. Like they're going to go buy a Ford Explorer.
Try marketing to the suburbanites, Ford. Nice try.

Bonus: Disney Princess Ke$ha


Oh Ke$h, you look pretty without all of that silly makeup.
I am confused about this one.
