Television Show Review: REVENGE

One of our favorite pastimes is finding really bad shows (ie. bad acting, unbelievable plots lines, actors using accents that they haven't mastered yet, sounds of high heels on wood when the actor is obviously walking on carpeted floors etc) that are actually good.

Revenge is one of those shows.

In a nutshell, this show is about a girl who's father was killed because this group of rich people in the Hampton's (for whatever reason) set him up to look like a terrorist. The girl, Emily Thorne (formerly Amanda Clarke), is now 15 years older with a new name and a lot of money and has come to the Hampton's to exact revenge on all of these people.

What makes it good: Every episode something happens, kind of like on the O.C. Someone is always dying or losing all of their money thanks to Emily Thorne's plans, and Emily never gets caught! Also, whenever she succeeds, or is about to succeed, she makes this face:

The Downside: These types of plot twists every episode are unsustainable. For example, we remember in college when the O.C. was what everyone was watching every Thursday night, 5 months later, it's like "Who is the world is Marissa Cooper?" and if you could answer that question it was really embarrassing. Our advice to Revenge? Take some tips from Dawson's Creek, they didn't have Joey and Dawson kiss until the very end of season 1, and so it kept us watching ...at least until Season 2 episode 1. haha. jk what?

We could have a lot more thoughts about this show but we're running out of steam.

BOTTOM LINE: You should watch at least 1 episode, and then let us know what you think: http://www.hulu.com/revenge

ps. Our little sister wrote a review on this show too, we're anxious to know her thoughts as well.

Starting A New Blog?

Something we forgot to include in our last post, we've considered starting a new blog, in fact, we have started it, but we don't really like it. 

You can check it out, it's :answerswithangela.tumblr.com. 

Here's the reason why we're struggling with feeling connected to this new blog, it's not YogueIN. 

We wish there was someway to have something that was YogueIN, and that was everything that we always wanted YogueIN to be.

Naaaah mean?

Other Things We Don't Care About: Photos

We're well aware of the fact that no one will read this blog if it doesn't have any pictures attached to it, but the thing is, we just don't care enough to find pictures!

Some other things we've been thinking about today:

1. Boys wearing V-neck shirts,
2. Putting gas in our gar
3. Subway breakfast sandwiches
4. Knowing how to spell the word "sandwich" "sandwHich?" No idea.
5. Dexter

The Skulls: Movie Quotes;

"Direct question, direct answer: Are you a skull?" 

This is one of the best lines in the movie The Skulls. If you haven't seen this film, it's definitely worth it to see it. It's a movie where Pacey from Dawsons creek plays this poor guy who goes to Yale and gets involved with a secret society. He's got a reporter friend (school newspaper, in reality they are no big deal but the movie makes it seem like he works for CNN) who is all interested in the Skulls and suspects that Pacey has been asked to be a member of the exclusive group. Anyway, at one point the reporter friend asks him the above question.

We think it's especially legit because his friend is probably thinking "enough with the nonsense, I don't care about your mush, are you a skull or not?" That's how we've been feeling with a lot of things recently.

Oh really?

(Oh hey Gwen is this a blog post or is this just random thoughts that aren't even really finished written on the internet? Could you let us know before hand next time . . .thanks! xoxo Everyone)

Brava vs. Bravo

Dear Yoguees/Everyone,

We wish we could find the interview where Wentworth Miller says "Brava" to Ellen Degeneres instead of Bravo, but we just aren't sure where it would be. But basically she says something to him and he says in a very slow pretentious way "Brava". Actually he says it twice "Brava, Brava"

ANDDDD it sounds so annoying! Just say "Bravo", most people don't speak Italian and won't judge you for not having gender agreement. Trust me it's not worth it. So you have two options:

1. Say Bravo - and have people be like "wow I did a really good job with this thing, or else maybe this person is being sarcastic but actually I don't care cause I already forgot what was happening"

or

2. Say Brava - and have people think "what is Brava?" "why are you saying it like that?" "Did you say Bra? or lava?" "I don't get it" "what do you mean?" "why are you talking with that voice?" "why are you mentioning to me that you went to Princeton?" "Why are you wearing a blazer in our government class?" The list goes on.

There's no need to say Brava. Ever.


ps. Check out what I found!!!  Wentworth Miller Saying Brava  -- go to 4:19 and turn up your speakers.
pps. You may say "Brava" if you are currently speaking in Italian. (ie. brava la mia sorella)

Embarassing Things We Saw On The Internet Today

This picture of Rush Limbaugh. (Drudge Report article on the richest celebrities of 2011)

In and of itself this section of Cosmo is not embarrassing, but getting caught reading it would be. (No but Gwen it's important for us to know what girls are thinking!) Trust us, it's embarrassing.

Major Brain Freeze

Dear Yoguees,

Actually, after we titled this post we realized that a "Brain Freeze" is when you drink something cold too fast, and then you get that sharp headache. It's NOT when you have a blog that you haven't written on for  56 weeks because you can't think of anything to say. Still, we now feel a connection to the title "Major Brain Freeze" and so we're going to keep it.

A couple thoughts:

1. Kim Kardashian's Wedding - We're not sure how we feel about this whole thing. Actually we are completely sure. Even though everything probably cost 1 billion dollars and they're probably a great family, we didn't like Kim's head piece and so it ruined the whole thing for us. But this People magazine with her on the cover is selling really well, check out the boring article here.

1a. Speaking of Kim Kardashian - We must get a boyfriend, and we must get our picture taken with him exactly like this photo of Kim and Reggie.

2. Bad Words - We never swear. But we've made the executive decision that if a script calls for bad language use, we're just going to do it, and say it, and hate ourselves later for it. The show must go on.

3. WP's / WPJ's - There's nothing really to say here. Stiff arm. Big time.

4. GQ Magazine - We read an edition (is that the right word?) of this magazine at the gym the other day and is has skyrocketed to our top favorite magazines list. Unlike a lot of other magazines these days with articles that are like "100 Ways To Be More Inappropriate Tomorrow Than You Were Today!!!!" These articles are actually really funny and informational. Most of the writers use a conversational tone, that is really easy and fun to read, and the humor is right up our alley. Way to go GQ. Needs Improvement: Cosmopolitan


4a. Cosmopolitan Magazine Revisited - To be fair, we just took this quiz: Do You Make A Fabulous First Impression? and scored really well:

5. Marriage - Many of our college friends are getting married and instead of feeling like our lives are over we are too preoccupied by the number of spiders we've seen in our room over the last 2 days to care.

So these are the top 5 things that have been on our mind for the past half an hour or so. Some honorable mentions would be 1. Hurricane Irene 2. Mila Kunis 3. Essence Magazine and 4. Rick Perry.

Anyway, what are you guys thinking about?

Thoughts: Royalty

Okay, so we mentioned earlier that we really have calmed down about the whole Royal Wedding and being jealous of Kate Middleton's dress (read also: life/hair/makeup/paparazzipictures/shoes/future) and we really mean it, life has gone on for us and for everyone else...


BUT


We just came acrossT this article about how to greet the Royal Family, if we were ever to find ourselves marrying Prince Harry  meeting one of them. Here is the article taken directly from the official royal website:

So basically, you're so tired of reading, and we understand, but it's like... we can't imagine a situation where we would be bowing to anyone saying "Your Royal Highness" know what we mean? Especially because of this. 

How would you address The Queen of England?
