Relive Your Childhood with the BSC Headquarters Blog

Maybe I should be ashamed of this, but I still sometimes think about The Baby-Sitters Club, the iconic series by Ann M. Martin that pretty much defined my elementary school years. It comes up at the most random times, like when I take my wallet out of my purse and remember Stacey telling Kristy never to take her wallet out on the streets of New York in the New York, New York Super Special. Even just writing this, I've got the theme song to the "Baby-Sitters Club" Disney Channel TV show stuck in my head: "Say hello to your friends! (Baby-Sitters Club!) Say hello to the people who care!" OK, maybe I was a little obsessed.

So I've got to thank Pop Candy for pointing me to BSC Headquarters, where one similarly enraptured child of the '80s is blogging her way through a rereading of the series - which, if you were wondering, eventually clocked in at 131 installments, plus Super Specials, mysteries, and that kinda lame spinoff about Kristy's little sister. Granted, I'm a little late to the party (the blog's been up for a year and a half), but I've been having a blast reading through the archives. For more on why,

Posts chronicle all the hilarious outfit descriptions ("Jessi looked sensational, in an indigo blue unitard with a matching open-mesh oversized cardigan") and quirks of the series that I'd nearly forgotten. I mean, the summary introduction of the girls in every single chapter? The constant references to Dawn eating freak food because she was vegetarian? The brief attempt to get "acute" to mean "cool"?

Am I alone here? Anyone else feel like reminscing about the BSC with me?

Announcing the 2012 Grammy Award Nominations

Rose Curiel — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:51:21 PST

For the second year in a row, the Recording Academy has given a hip-hop artist the most Grammy nominations. Last year, it was rapper Eminem with eight, and this year, Kanye West leads the nominees with seven chances at the golden gramophone, including a song of the year nod for "All of the Lights." West is also nominated twice in the rap album of the year category for his collaboration with Jay-Z on Watch the Throne and his own album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Brit crooner Adele wasn't far behind Kanye, picking up six nominations for her album 21, as well as a shot at song of the year with "Rolling in the Deep."

Bruno Mars also did well, racking up six nominations (that's down one from last year for those keeping track), while newcomers like Nicki Minaj and dubstep artist Skrillex are up for the best new artist category.
