And I'll be back in the high life again

At work posting this, again. We've got a meeting in approximately 20 minutes, and I have nothing to do until then. So here I is.

J has been exploring the vastness of the online Winamp world and has come across a ton of streaming TV and radio channels. Most are horrible, but a select few have pretty decent feeds. All the official Winamp streams are top notch. KT told me about some Lindsey Lohan video she saw and how it was such a piece of crap, so of course I searched for it. Querying "Lohan" popped up 2 results:

1) Some weird video about Lindsey Lohan wanting to date some guy, but his parents won't let him (no doubt, they are frightened of her boobs). So, in rebellion, the two of them run off and start making out in an abandoned house. Mmmmk. Next we see them at some party when the guy's dad shows up and hauls him off. That wasn't even halfway through the video, but I stopped it there. Boring.

2) This one was titled "Rumors" and features tons of paparazzi following Lohan around clubs and whatnot. Almost immediately, I hated this video with a passion. As Lohan flits around various clubs and elevators, she touches her hair and puts her hands above her head about 345,008,320 times. And as she's doing it, all the other girls in the club are doing the same thing. Have girls evolved some sort of anti-gravity propulsion system in their hands, and no one told me? Anyway, the video is very much a Britney Spears-clone. Amidst Lohan's gyrating on the walls and floor of an elevator and swinging around in a giant bird cage (?), she tries to throw in one of those multi-dancer dances on a rooftop. Too bad she sucks at it. Her "moves" consist of bending her knees and covering her face. Go Lindsey, get down wit yo bad self.

So anyway, she's singing about wanting to be left alone by paparazzi and the like. Well.. honey.. you entered the wrong profession. You had to have noticed all the people who have come before you, trying to do the actress/singer role. Why does she think she would be any different, especially considering that she's a pretty girl with huge boobs? Doing nearly nude photo shoots, appearing on SNL, having top-grossing movies... surely the paparazzi would overlook that, right? Gah.
