Just heard the new "monster track" from Forever by Drake ft Kanye, Lil' Wayne & Eminem. It's a hot song, no lie, but the line that spoke to me and my current mood about hiphop the most was when Kanye said:
"I used to want this shit forever// you can have it back"
Then I move on to a short article about how people weren't hyped by the three Jay-Z/Timbaland tracks that came out yesterday.
I don't know about you, but I'm going to go listen to "Death of Autotune" and "I Used to Love Her" back-to-back over and over again.
If it was a rose under glass in this picture, I'd think this was an awesome homage to my favorite children's book ever, The Little Prince. (anyone who hasn't read this book at least once is doing themselves a dis-service).
However, since it's a regular plant, this gives me terrifying idea that someone thinks it'd be a GOOD IDEA to take species of plants native to earth to other planets when we colonize. Not sure if you're familiar with the concept of alien species, but here's a quick rundown: They fuck shit up! You know why Hawaii and other islands like that were so great and wonderous? They were isolated. Today, however, they are all having problems because of foreign species introduced by immigrants and travelers. Even Australia had to erect a continent-wide fence to keep out English Rabbits that were destroying crops. Now someone thinks this will be helpful to do to the Moon or Mars or Tatooine?
I suppose this was coming some day, I'd just hoped it'd be farther down the line.
Officially, the Artctic Monkeys still rock. More than most other bands. The problems is, their new album out this week doesn't really sound like them, or like Britain. It reminds me of when the Beatles stopped rocking and started meditating.
Is it just genuine emotion/regret, still being expressed 15 years after he died? Are they trying to say "sorry, we're out"? Did they just have extra ink and not know what to make with it?
Lately I've been thinking that I want to get a tattoo someday.
I'm the only one in my family sans tattoos and piercings, and haven't given into an whim because I sorta enjoy the idea of not fitting in with that trend.
Lately, however, I've seen some really awesome tattoos and it's gotten my thinking.
I tried to get Anie on board with this idea, but so far she's not game for it.
Newsflash: Nobody "fits in". We all fake it. Nerds, stop feeling ostracized and learn to celebrate it. Square Peg: Round Hole :: Your Place : Society So you can lament everything, or you can be like the guy on Apollo 13 that figured out how to make it work.
"Details aside, I believe more people should name their children Engelbert Humperdinck these days. Sure beats the heck out of Apple, Destry, Honor or Pilot Inspektor."
Today's Nerd-Cool is a simple shout-out to all the hot chicks that aren't ashamed of being smart. Thank-you, doll.
Like, remember the time Rachel Leigh Cook went from this....
to this....
Awesome, I know, right? And in the end, didn't have to dumb herself down, just loosen-up and revel in it.
Honestly, there's nothing sexier to me than smart, complicated brunettes.
By the way, has anyone else seen how smokin' hot Felicia Day is in "Date My Avatar"? Really, she writes & directs her own web-series, can sing and act, and now she comes out looking hotter than ever, just in time to join Dollhouse? I'm practically defenseless against this.
had to go buy Vol 2 of The Walking Dead on my lunch break at work today.
I tried right now to find what may be one of the most awesome single pages in all Graphic Novels, but couldn't locate it yet. Let's just say it involves a 7 year-old wasting a zombie at close range.
so for now I just settled on the cover of Vol 1 as a place holder.
Guess what?
Scarlett Johansson can actually sing. Not only that, I'd wager she's 10-100x better than most songs I've heard in Anie's home/car this year.
So I recently posted about how I dislike Conan and the Tonight Show, and am happy to see Letterman winning the ratings, but even I didn't see this coming.
Last Week - Letterman had 2.95 million viewers. - Conan had 2.94 million viewers. - Conan had all new shows. - Letterman was ALL re-runs.
That's right, more people would rather watch old Dave shows, including interviews with star's whose movies have already come out months ago, than they would watch brand-new hopefully-resurgent Conan.
Poor Conan, you might actually be bad enough to make all the Irish go back.
How many dirty looks and slaps to the face would I get wearing this shirt?
this is more entertaining to me because of my very close relationship with someone who loves horrible horrible reality tele. Wake up, we don't want to lose you.
