When I get bored of the stuff that's up here... I'll change it. That might be once a week, once a month, or every time I update... I haven't decided yet. Stay tuned.
Go see my Old Stuff O' The Moment.
And Here We Gooooooooo.....
First on the list of things to do:
The How Deep Is Your Love? Campaign has extended its deadline and is now running until the end of March, not February as previously intended.
Next, a little catching up.
Okay, I suck, and I don't update this page very often anymore. It's not due to lack of interest -- believe me. :-D Part of it was that I didn't like dealing with my layout anymore, and the thought of doing a new one almost made me collapse with fear and dread. Now that I've gotten that out of the way, though, things might be easier. YAY!
Another part of it is lack of time... yadda yadda. Believe it or not, it's actually easier and faster these days to brainstorm and write a new story than it is to write a review of some *NSYNC-er's latest appearance. There's also the fact that the guys are friggin' everywhere, my GOSH. But meanwhile, I'm up to my eyeballs in homework and projects, and I've recently been doing a lot of spiritual seeking/learning/converting, so that's been taking up much of my time as well.
Third, and main factor as to why I haven't been writing much on the boys lately is this:
I've turned into a teeny.
No, you think I'm kidding? I am unbelievably delirious with adoration for these guys these days, and it's scaring me. So okay, I'm not signing my cheques "Mrs. Bass", or buying teeny mags, or stalking them. But I've been listening to No Strings Attached almost non-stop for a few weeks now, I'm increasingly giddy over their new album (quick opinion check: do I think they're rushing it? Maybe. But I'm damn sure it's gonna be kick-ass anyway), and don't even get me started on the Lance-Joey movie project. You might've read my thoughts on that before. ;-).
So when you ask, "what did you think of the Grammys?" I say, the guys rocked hard-core. Okay, there is a possibility they might have been a teensy bit off, and JC's shirt-slash-cummerbund gives me a headache, and what did Justin do to his hair? The 'fro is dead; long live the 'fro. But anyway, it's his head, the red shirt sucked, but he can still sing, so: What. The Howie. Ever.
Joey's girlfriend is pregnant and I don't care. I mean, I'm not disenchanted with him or anything.... what goes up must eventually come down, and what swims must eventually impregnate. Will the group break up over this? I doubt it. Will Joey change? In some ways he will, I'm certain; he's going to be a father, for God's sake. But Baby Fatone will want for nothing, and will have one of the most affectionate dads and four surrogate uncles, and so to Joey I say, 'congratulations, you big cuddly whore, you.' I just hope that he's happy; that's really the important thing to me. I hope that he's not forced to be ready for something he didn't plan for. Otherwise, I don't have much else to say on the matter.
Will this album be *NSYNC's last? ::shrugs::
There are rumblings that Justin wants to leave the group, that he's seeking a solo career, that Britney is encouraging him in this. I have no idea how much truth there is to these rumours. I don't give it much thought. In all honesty, I wouldn't be any more inclined to buy Justin's album than I would any other solo artist -- that is to say, who he is doesn't influence my desire to have a CD with his vocals. I'd download it, though ;-).
Okay, all kidding aside, the point is: I've been trying to spare you the gushing, because that's almost all I do these days. There is bitterness, occasionally, but now instead of ranting about it, I write fic in which the guys have lots of sex. With each other. Otherwise -- gushing. It's a service to not be subjected to that, believe me.
::shakes head at self and walks away. Then proceeds to press 'repeat' on the NSA cd::
I do hope that they take a break after this one, though. I know it seems like too much, too fast, but we do have to remember that this is pop music, a rapidly changing genre, and just because *NSYNC wants to strike while the iron is hot doesn't make them shallow... the kind of music they make might not be welcome even a year from now. Should they try to change and evolve the kind of music they make? Absolutely. But that takes time, and meanwhile the 13-year olds are already thinking that O-Town's pretty cool. Pop isn't dead, but the boys-to-men bands might be in a year. Who knows? I have faith in *NSYNC's ability to outlive and transcend the genre, and that's all I have to say about that.
And can I just throw in the following: oh, yay, what a nice mental image. Justin can be pop's new prince, standing alongside the head cheerleader-- er, I mean, Britney, pop's new princess. Can I get a "gag me with a spoon?"
