I am sick and tired of the anointed Archuleta. His sullen and monotone voice and vocals are just not my cup of tea. Sure, he’s a good singer, but he’s BORING performer. I am so over the judges anointing him the winner from the auditions. I hope David Cook kicks his ass in the finale.
Adios Castro. You’ve spent way too much time on the show with your underwhelming performances. Enjoy playing with your ukulele and dreads back home.
I had a chance tonight to view a screening of The Wackness, part of the Tribeca Film Festival. When I was given an option of movies to choose from, as soon as I saw the brief summary of The Wackness, I knew this was going to be a winner. The film was set in 1994, which was right smack in the middle of my teenage years, so the entire soundtrack was pretty much reliving my high school days. From Biggie to Tribe, the music set the scene for the gritty NYC summers in the 90’s. The setting was eerily similar to Kids, another teen-angst filled movie, ironically set the summer after The Wackness.
How far does one have to go to be classified has having an addiction for a TV show? I think I might be up for the guys with the white jackets when it comes to LOST. Seriously, this show has me completely mesmerized each week, usually leaving me kicking myself that I have to wait yet another week before the next episode. Keep in mind, the summer (and now fall) are very, very long. Sometimes a bit too long to wait for the next episode.
Week after week, he belts out yet another powerful performance. Andrew Lloyd Webber night was no different.
Grasp it…Sense it…Enjoy it:
Congrats David. This awesome performance should have secured you a spot in the Top 2, if not the winners circle. Just got to keep an eye on that other anointed David…
Why do I always find myself in a position where the person in front of me refuses to hold the door open? Does it really take that much effort to just prop the door open for that extra second until I grab a hold of it? I should never assume someone is going to hold the door for me or else I end up with a door in my face. People just suck.
Could it be? Could The Replacements be reuniting this year? Gosh, I hope so.
Ever since discovering “Bastards of Young” and “Alex Chilton“, I have a new-found respect for the band that I heard so much about growing up, but never listened to. Didn’t they have the greatest videos? They set the precedent for the “fuck you” videos. pearl jam eat your heart out! Perhaps if I was a teenager in the early 80’s, I would have listened to them much earlier on, but alas, my passion for music begun later in the early 90’s. If the flannel shirts in my closet could speak, oh, the stories they could tell. “This one time, at a pearl jam concert…”. Wow, two pearl jam mentions in one post. Awesome.
I’m sure NYC would welcome The Replacements with open arms, perhaps with a show down at St. Marks Place?
The title might not be as catchy as “Buddy Holly” or “We are all on Drugs” the Weezer’s new single, “Pork and Beans” is classic 1994ish Weezer that brings all the rock and all the roll.
You can take a listen of “Pork and Beans” at weezer.com. Their new self-titled album will hit stores or your friendly download service on June 24. (How many self-titled albums do they have already? They already have the Blue Album and the Green Album. Based on the color scheme of the website, it appears this will be the Red Album. Still cool nonetheless…)
Now let’s hope they promptly begin a US tour to follow the release of the album
Only David Cook could turn the over-played Mariah Carey pop song “Always Be My Baby” into a rockin’ power ballad and deliver the song with such talent and charisma.
This dude is going places…and it’s NOT into the Bottom 3!
…but I felt obligated to share this with the rest of the world who has yet to see it. Who knew there was an original theme song for the “Good Morning Miss Bliss” Jr. High years? Go figure! The opening is so totally 80’s chessyness at it’s finest. Thank goodness the NBC execs didn’t hold that against them when they revitalized the format into “Saved by the Bell”!
How often do you find yourself in a crowded sidewalk during a bustling rush hour, only to be stuck behind someone smoking a nasty cigarette? I know it’s a free country and all, but what the hell am I supposed to do? How am i supposed to get from one place to another if I have to be stuck behind a walking exhaust pipe?
Where does one go to find a decent pair of jeans these days? It seems as though I can never find something that fits me perfectly. I usually latch on to a pair of jeans and keep them in rotation for several months at a time and then go back and re-introduce the old ones to the rotation once the newness wears off. I currently have 3-4 in rotation, but I would like to find another so I can “retire” the oldest one and only use for days where I expect to get dirtier more than usual.
First there was Friendster and that really went far. *crickets*
Then myspace turned everyone into 12 yr. old girls with all the customized html-heavy 5 minute downloadable profiles.
Facebook exploded into StalkBook, but it seems to be losing it’s staying power. I am just not seeing everyone go crazy over the site anymore. Sure, I am logged on all day long, but then again I get quite a kick out of how often people update their status message.
So what’s the next latest and greatest social networking site (SNS)?
I have a hair stuck between my laptop screen and the protective cover and it is driving me INSANE!
I’ve searched all over to see what can be done but there is no easy solution other than attempting to unscrew the screen by myself. Really? I have a feeling that would void the warranty. How does that even happen? How does a hair get sucked in between a very think piece plastic (or whatever the hell the screen cover is made of)? Is there something as hair osmosis that Dell computers seem to excel in?
I feel like the attendants who work the main sign-in desk at the gym pick and choose who they wish to greet or say goodbye to. Some days, I get a hello but no “Have a nice day!”on my way out. Others, I don’t get a hello, but I get the goodbye gesture. Then, and these days make me wonder why I bother to spend an exorbitant amount of $ to this place, no acknowledgment takes place at all!
“Have a nice day!” - 4 syllables, 4 words and only 12 letters. You can say the phrase in under 1 second flat.
I’m not asking for much here, but if you’re the owner/manager of the joint, a friendly greeting would go a long way.
Here’s a good question of the day: Is there only one company that produces the standard body bag? They apparently come in additional colors other than the typical black, such as white, gray and even orange. (Really? Orange?!!) Are there multiple companies cashing in on the body bag industry?
When did it become cool again to start wearing your backpack on both shoulders?
I remember in 5th grade, I couldn’t wait to get to junior high for 2 things: changing classes and wearing your back pack on one shoulder! I don’t know why I didn’t consider doing that earlier, but it felt like a junior high rite of passage that a 5th grader wouldn’t dare attempt.
Finally the day came and the I trolloped into class with one bare shoulder. It felt quite liberating, until I ended up receiving my text books and the walk home was killer. How did anyone put up with this? Even with lockers, you still had to take the books home to supposedly complete your homework. I never let a sore shoulder compromise my coolness. If everyone else could do it, then I most certainly could. All the cool kids on tv wore it this way, from Saved By The Bell to Beverly Hills, 90210. And if I saw someone wearing the backpack on both shoulders, I would incessantly mock them for not being able to handle the one-shoulder carry. Yes, I was mean, but I blame my immature 12 yr old self.
This is by far one of the funniest spoofs I have seen on youtube and quite cleverly done. I may be 2 years late, but this kind of comic relief never gets old. I present Zack and Slater: Brokeback Style
I was perusing the TV listings at Yahoo! and noticed that American Idol is only on for 1 hour tonight! WOO HOO! Can’t they just cut all the other performances and only air David Cook solo? He’s the only one who actually has enough talent to make this season worthwhile. While David “The Annointed One” Archuleta does sing and perform well, he doesn’t come close to Cook’s enthusiastic performances.
On a down side, AI is airing 3 times this week, but at least the crappy AI Gives Back is just a night of filler that serves absolutely no importance to the outcome of the show.
The finale can’t get here soon enough. This season has been painful.
Chalmers: Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Skinner: Uh.. now ooh. That isn't smoke, it's steam.. steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmmm. Steamed clams. *Skinners notices fire in kitchen, jumps out window and picks up Krusty Burgers* Skinner: I hope you're ready for mouth watering hamburgers! Chalmers: I thought we were having steamed clams? Skinner: Oh no, I said steamed hams. That's what I call hamburgers. Chalmers: You call hamburgers "steamed hams"? Skinner: Yes. It's a regional dialogue. Chalmers: Uh.. what region? Skinner: Uuuh. Upstate New York. Chalmers: Really? Well I'm from Utica and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams". Skinner: Oh not in Utica, no, it's an Albany expression. Chalmers: Uh I see. You know these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burgers. Skinner: Hohohoho. No. Patented Skinner Burgers. Old family recipe. Chalmers: For.. steamed hams. Skinner: Yes Chalmers: Yes, and you call them steamed hams despite the fact they are obviously grilled...
