The Hills by my kid sister, Alex

Herrow ferrows. As you may know, I am pretty much on my death bed with a cold. Instead of going to my friend's house to watch The Hills, I was forced to stay on the couch and watch 4 episodes of Carnivale (which is awesome, but not The Hills)
Anyways, my kid sister, who you may or may not remember from the Interviews, has graciously done today's Hills recap, cause I know if I didn't have a damn recap, I would have a shitstorm of emails telling me to get off my lazy ass and provide a play-by-play of dramz. Here you go! Everything from here on out has been written by Alex.

First off this isn't The Mayor. It is neither her 'intern' either. I believe she has an intern as much as she maintains as active lifestyle and uses her gym membership effectively.
*Editor's Note: I do now have an intern, and I will be telling you about him on Thursday.
Yes, poor yous, you have a new author for your Tuesday post. It is I, the lesser of evils, the cuter of faces, Alex.
First let me point out how much I hate this blog. Now that that is out of the way, shall we begin? We shall. I arranged a series of questions I asked myself whilst watching the program.

Questions One: "How desperate is Teen Vogue?"
- Featured Lauren on the cover two, count 'em two times.
- Featured Mischa Barton on their Young Hollywood Issue (why?)
- Decided that the band, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, is an up and coming band with nothing but success behind their backs. Fuck, weren't those guys female-boner repellant? The bad, independent, "I wanna wear the jeans I have on 'cause they're a women's size 8 and I broke them in, like, 6 years ago, before wearing women's jeans was in" guy just looked like an uggers Burt McCracken. Moving on.

Question Two: "How lame is Heidi and Spencer's airtime on the Hills?"
- Wedding dress shopping with Jen Bunney in her nude sweater mini dress (barf)
- Gift Registry at IKEA? What the hell, I thought they were ballin'.
- Spencer and Heidi have mad-stare-offs over the wedding news not spreading to the Pratt family. Can you imagine Spencer's mom? She'd probably look like the snow yeti from Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer (c/o Jenn Lawrence)

Question Three: "How annoying/ lame/ mother hen is Lauren becoming?"
- Dying to impress the hipster scene boyz at her local pit. "Y'know, just like, some random dive bar" Dive Bar? Lauren can't drink beer let alone tiptoe into a real dive bar.
- Giving a truckload of Whitney-esque "eyes" at the table downing Costco sized shots.
- Lauren thinks she has all the advice covered as she relates to "meeting up with exes and their girlfriends is always awkward" Wha? You mean Kristin and Jessica? Big whop. Let loose and stop rolling and bugging out your eyes when you're on dates and then you may have dibs on 'Advice Hour with Lauren Conrad'.

Question Four: "What does Katja remind you of?"
- Ugly girls you find on Facebook from Elementary School who have gotten trashier and wear tons of black eye liner and are currently enrolled at De'Vry Institute: Uxbridge Campus.
- Girls you find at the Uxbridge Bruins Hockey Games who end up at the Tim Hortons at 2 a.m. bragging about they effed the whole team.
- A Russian slut.
- A Bonne Bell model.
*Editor's Note: Uxbridge is a small town, very similar to some crappy small town in Nebraska. People seldom leave.

It's OVER!

The Skip-Raid Interviews The Mayor's kid sister Alex

Today we sit and chat with one of the Toronto art community's up-and-coming illustrators, Miserabitch Extraordinaire, and my kid sister, Alex. Our sincerest thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answers a few Q's.Full name: Alexandra Meredith

Where we can find you:
www.myspace.com/alexloser

Occupation: Your inspiration

Where you live: To the left to the left (Everything you own, in the box to the left)

What was the worst thing that ever happened at your job?
I cut my thumb cutting a fucking bagel for a fucking red neck mom with the bagel knife on a plain bagel. I needed three stitches which took four hours of waiting at Uxbridge Cottage Hospital. I was the only one waiting at 3 in the afternoon. And my fucking boss (who shall remain nameless... Linda Compton) did not pay me for my shift like you are supposed to. I loved the stitches but I fucking deserved the $7.90/ hour for those 4 hours lost.

Would you rather wear a new, ratty pair of underwear every day, or one really nice pair every day forever?
This questions sounds like it was written wrong. Ratty underwear everyday or nice pair everyday.... Um, ratty and skid-marked, please.

If you could have lunch with anyone, who would it be? (I would pick John Waters and Amy Sedaris)
Who cares what you want? This isn't a survey about you. (I can guarantee you'll weasel more opinions about yourself within this very impersonal survey...)

What was your best/worst Hallowe'en costume?
Best:
Jewish American Princess.
Worst:
Jewish American Princess. If I had more time I would have dressed way Jewier.

If your hands magically turned into something, what do you wish they could be? (Don’t say "hands") Avoiding the obvious (guns) I would have to go with my second choice, razor blades, so I could actually swipe that ugly mole off The Mayor’s face in one smooth, effortless stroke...

The Simpson’s Movie. Is it going to Fucking Blow or Really Fucking Blow?
... This is such a pointless "interview" and more or less a shitty Myspace Survey ugly people post as Bulletins.

What is the stupidest kind of dog?
No dog is stupid. Oh, oh wait, those dogs with red mustaches from drool.

If you were forced at gunpoint to get one of the following tattoos, which would you pick and why? Celtic arm band, Chinese characters on ankle, tribal design on lower back.
Chinese characters, rendered to look like the characters from Peanuts.

What is the first comic you read in the newspaper?
Usually whichever is one illustration with a caption. Globe and Mail has REALLY bad comics.

Which television show should they show to torture people at Guantanamo Bay? According to Jim, Yes Dear, or Three and a Half Men?
Three and a Half Men, because Charlie Sheen is great American Superstar.

Which racist stereotype do you think makes the least amount of sense?
This question is targeted to make me out to be a racist.

Are you:
- Proud to be Canadian
- Ashamed to be Canadian
- Ashamed to be Canadian until an American makes fun of Canada?


Fuck Canadian Pride. (I am now going to use as many saucy-words as I can to make this more interesting)

What is your favourite animated show on Comedy Central/Cartoon Network? What is the most over-rated? What do you wish they'd bring back?
Space Ghost Coast to Coast fucking bloooooows. My favourite would probably been Aqua Teen.

What "art school" words do you hate the most when people use them?
Oh good lord, this is my favourite question so far, and we're almost done.
1. Organic
2. Funky
3. Juxtapose

If you had to be addicted to a drug, which would it be?
Lemon flavoured cocaine.

Your ideal sandwich:
Grilled chay [cheese] with a side order of pickars [pickles] and watered-down ketchup.
