About Me

November 15, 2008 – 11:44 pm Comment

My name is Jillian Madison. I spend my days blogging over at Pophangover - a pop culture satire site that I created during the summer of ‘99.  I also write for the sites WeHateIdol.com, FoodNetworkHumor.com, and KickedOffTV.com. And, just for the hell of it, I’m the co-host of the Pop Outsiders weekly podcast. We talk pop culture news, TV, movies, food, etc.

In other news, I firmly believe there are two types of people in the world: those who like GREASE 2, and those who prefer the original. I PREFER GREASE 2. I know every word to Cool Rider and Who’s That Guy. I love the way Michael Carrington tenderly holds the pen to his lip when he sings “Charades,” and I try to work the phrase “I AIN’T NO ONE’S TROPHY” into at least one conversation a day. Even more eerie, I’ve disliked a few people in my lifetime… only to find out later that they were all ORIGINAL GREASE FANS. It’s a powerful and divisive line, people, so walk it carefully.

I make fun of everything and I find humor everywhere. I love vintage t-shirts, big words, and Beringer pino noir. I live in lacrosse shorts year round. I play guitar, piano, and drums. I have a huge problem with wet paper products touching my skin. I’m extremely mild-tempered. I suck at parallel parking. I suck even worse at drawing. My favorite scent is Gap Earth. And I think the GOLDEN GIRLS is the funniest show to ever air on tv.

THINGS I CAN’T STAND: bad kissers. planet’s funniest animals. unnecessary apostrophes. facebook. the show “the office” (and steve carrell). people who avoid eye contact. yellow and orange starbursts. orange juice. moths. clowns. child beauty pageants. animal abusers. the circus. wet paper products. town pool floors. bad teeth. cankles. evanesence. the way sally field overacts in every single role. the feeling of newsprint. dirty dishes in the sink. jazz music. classic rock. dark lipstick. oprah winfrey. rootbeer. snoring. the smell of indian food. being patronized. george bush. gold jewelry. zoos. dirty bathroom floors. the new 90210. the PARTINI commercial, and the way giada says “mozzarellahhh.”
