i talk about britney too much as it is, but this is totally worthwhile.
today i learned that lexis nexis has a feature i've so far overlooked that allows you to search transcripts of interviews from reputable news sources, so tonight after class i searched for the transcript of the britney spears interview with matt lauer that aired this week, the interview accompanied by this picture. how could i resist checking out an interview with someone who used to look (relatively) attractive and now looks like that? because she was allowed to do her own hair and makeup and dress herself before appearing on television with no help from anyone at all including the help of a mirror? exactly.
lexis nexis wasn't as helpful as i had hoped in producing the text of the entire interview, but that was fine because after reading sections of it my interest was piqued enough that i really just wanted to watch it. i found it online in a three part series and so far have watched part one, otherwise known as the part where britney invents new words and shows off her cleavage, all while chewing gum. it's awesome. i'll save part two, where matt makes her angry and she cries so much her fake eyelashes fall off all while chewing gum, for the next time i'm, say, feeling bad about myself.
(matt, incidentally, looks strangely like trent these days. i think it's the mutual near-baldness.)
one of my roommates gave me way too much crap, in the form of many sideways looks that implied i must be crazy, during my hour-long britney interview transcript search and subsequent interview watching spree. i wanted to defend myself by saying i'd had a hard day, that mondays and wednesdays are the days that i spend all day in class talking about things that matter and come home exhausted so, really, i'm entitled to watch mindless, trashy tv if that's what makes me feel better. then i thought better of it because there's no way i'm justifying myself to someone who plays xbox almost as much as he plays his three girlfriends and is showing no signs of slowing down, or remorse.

dammit, the interview has been removed because it was used without permission.
that sucks. :(
I saw it last week---actually, it was her boobs that caught my attention. They were about to pop out. I was amazed that Matt Laurer was staring at her face. Maybe he was staring at her sliding eyelashes?
