Eminem's New Song - The Warning: "Loves It!"
Ever since Eminem has hit mainstream, B has been a fan, so it should come as no surprise that she would think his new song - "The Warning" - where Eminem disses Mariah for her alleged diss track "Obsessed," was great.
She first heard about it when L texted her all the deets (L obviously knowing B would be totally interested in hearing this!). As soon as B got home she was not disappointed. Afterall, Eminem has built his career on dissing others (and making it funny at the sametime!) as well as having some serious songs, such as "Toy Soldiers."
Well "The Warning" does not disappoint. It definitely brings the DRAMA and shows why Eminem is the top selling artist of this decade (that's the 2000s).

BOSTON UNCOMMON
Boston Uncommon is generally reserved for some victim or victims who decided to not do a double take before leaving the house; however, in life, there are always exceptions.
Below is one of those exceptions.
Now don't get us wrong: B & L are all for declarations of love. It is sweet (and appreciated!) when your guy will tell his friends how much he cares for you or when he shows you how much he loves you, but this one seems to be taking things a little too far.

It makes you wonder why did the husband get a bumper sticker declaring his love when there are so many other ways to do it? Did the hubby need a little reminder? Or, is the wife that untrusting that she needed to put the entire public on notice that her husband has a wife and he loves her?

Loves It, Hates It
Kim and Reggie Splitting Up: "Hates It!"
We don't know about you, but when a couple make it longer than a year in Hollywood or in the "lime light" that's a big deal. When that same couple seems to mesh well with each other (and not just posing for the mags)- another big deal. Finally, when that same couple seems like they will actually stay together - a VERY big deal.
So, when it that same couple seems to split of all sudden (here, shortly after a trip to Africa) it's depressing.1
Here's to hoping that somewhere in the short future there will be a new couple that B & L can latch onto and watch as they start their budding relationship (and fingers crossed to getting engaged - and hopefully B & L never have to hear about confirmed divorce proceeding from the pretend couple's respective camps).
1. B has not felt this way since Holly and Hef split - even if they didn't fit all the same criteria as Reggie and Kim. And Kim has been L's girl crush forev's.

People who can't drive in the rain: "Hates It!"
It's summer, the sun is suppose to be out. B is suppose to be getting her glow on to compete with L's tan (ugh, the hardships of being fair skinned). When it rains (which it does in summer - Thunderstorms, baby!) people are suppose to know how to drive while observing the fabulous light show in the sky.
However, this summer seems to be nothing but gloom starting with days of rain and ending with no one knowing how to drive! Honestly, we live in New England. It rains and it snows. Regularly. The roads are not perfect, never have been, likely never will be. So, we should know by now how to drive in imperfect conditions!
1. There are a few c-notes that may qualify!

So, why is it people stop in the middle of road when it is raining? Or randomly slow down when a raindrop hits their windshield? Or go 35-40 mph on the highway?
It's just rain! It's water! We aren't in the Wizard of Oz. You aren't a wicked witch!1 You won't melt! And should I forget, you are in a car!!
Granted, there is hydroplaning when the roads are very wet, etc.; however, most of the time there has been drizzle with off and on showers. If you are still concerned, you can decrease your speed-- but to 35 mph? On the highway? That's just going a bit too far.
Hopefully the rain will end and we will just have to deal with the occasional thunderstorm that decides to roll our way because, honestly, B & L really want drivers that know how to operate a car behind the wheel again!
