If Amy Winehouse is considering a clinic, I think she may want to look into a plastic surgeon
before rehab. Really, I didn't think it was possible for someone to look that bad. "Trying make
me go to a plastic surgeon, I say yes, yes, yes."
It really is about time that Metro Ditched Ticketmaster.
There is no reason that smaller shops can't support their own ticketing platforms. As a music fan I can't
understand how Ticketmaster can charge $10 "convenience" fees on a $20 ticket. Furthermore, their internet
presales force fans to pay these fees just so they can get decent seats to shows. Now I've heard that TM
is lobbying to be the only merchant allowed to resell tickets. Like I said, as a music fan, this is horrible,
as a capitalist, bravo.

| No Country For Young Men |
If they ever make a prequel to No Country For Old Men,
they really need to get this kid from
Everybody Hates Chris,
to play young Anton Chigurh.
One of the things I miss most from the dorms at Illinois is the waffle machines. Only now
that I am years out of school can I truly appreciate how awesome it was to have batter and a waffle machine
ready at all meals. If you are in college now, make the most out of your college experience...by using
waffle makers a lot.
Watch out ladies, this
love letter
is exactly the type of love letter that I would write to you.
The new Pontiac G8 GT Spy Hunter commercial is is possibly the best commercial that should have and could
have been made 10 years ago. All the technology was there and the game was less old then than it is now.
Musicovery:
Dark/Calm/Rap = Timbaland, Cop That Shit
Dark/Positive/Energetic/Calm/Rock = Beck, Think I'm In Love
I think I would have skipped at least three grades growing up if I had a solid playground (with rope ladder, bridge, and
monkey bars) near my house and had these accessories for my Legos from
BrickArms.

These
Hasbro Mighty Muggs
are some of the coolest toys I've ever seen. I already ordered Han and Chewie. Even better is the Indiana Jones series which has
Mola Ram (with beating heart accessory) and "Monkey Man" (with a little monkey). I love monkeys.
I've always been a big fan of Dr. Pepper. Recently they announced that they would give
one can of Dr. Pepper
to everyone in America if Guns N' Roses (a.k.a. Axl) released Chinese Democracy any time in 2008. The best part is that they
excluded Slash and Buckethead from their offer. Fantastic. I don't know which ad-wizard in their PR department came up with
this idea, but I love it. Also there is almost no chance that Dr. Pepper will have to give everyone a can of Dr. Pepper.
For the kind of moves that never fail, the Weapon's the choice of Kevin McHale.
I bought the Elf soundtrack specifically for the Zooey Deschanel version of Cold Outside. She recently teamed up with
M. Ward to form the duo She-Him.
She-Him is going on tour
and my guess is they will play Lollapalooza.
I predict that 2009 will see the release of Sitar Hero.
Only 5 more days until the start of season 4 of BSG. I wasn't a big fan of season 3, but I'm hoping the last season will make up for it.
This is a really interesting Time Loop Theory about Lost.
In hindsight, there is nothing really interesting in this Rambling unless you are me. I am sorry I put you through this.
