The Time Has Come, The Walrus Said, To Talk of Many Things
There was a bit of a wide ranging discussion tonight. It began with an oral reading of the transcript of the nerd fight that broke out at my sister's work today (the words "masculine gaze" may or may not have been included), encompassed a high level discussion of whether Miley Cyrus is actually going crazy or just trying to look all hard and shit, and involved the viewing of several Beyoncé videos. In other words, nothing especially out of the ordinary for this household.
Then we got to Jennette McCurdy. Some explanation is required. Just of the existence of Jennette McCurdy, frankly. She was iCarly's sidekick on iCarly. She's blond and somewhat unfortunate, the type of girl who has been able to pass for forty since her mid teens. She tried to have a country music career. Of course. And now that iCarly herself has taken her big face and, I don't know, started a foundation to save Africa or something, they're trying to give McCurdy a spinoff. It's not looking good.
Anyway, her name came up and my sister didn't know who she was, so I insisted that she google her. And when she did, the "popular" search that google wanted to fill in for her was "Jennette McCurdy cankles."
I'm sure this sort of thing happens to Cate Blanchett all the time.
