What's on my MP3 player?

1. Clerks 2 soundtrack: not so much for the music, but the movie quotes.
2. Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko: Punk/pop/electro. It's like New Order meets Evanescence (not the best description, but I'm tired)
3. Cowboy Bebop soundtrack: Lots of jazz and Japanese.
4. DangerDoom - The Mouse and the Mask: MF Doom and DJ Dangermouse come together for an entire rap album dedicated to Adult Swim cartoons.
5. Depeche Mode - Violator: I was having high school flashbacks.
6. The Breeders - Saints single and Pod: See #5
7. The Pixies - Wave of Mutilation: See #6
8. Various YTMND Soundtracks - YTMND.com is probably the 7th greatest website ever invented. Links to soundtracks can be found here.
9. Daft Punk -Discovery: Mazzy's favorite group.
10. Flyleaf - Fully Alive: Heavy metal from Texas. The lead singer is this little girl who looks like a mini-Avril Lavigne.
11. Ministry of Sound - 2006 Clubber's Anthems: Best workout music ever.
12. Ni Hao! - New Hao!: Japanese all-girl punk rock.

13 things that are starting to get really lame.

Maxim had an article on the 50 lamest thing, but I'm keeping it short.

13. White trash goatees - Kid Rock made these look even stupider than they were to begin with. If you can't get an "Evil Spock" goatee, don't grow one.

12. White boys with 'fros - Didn't look good on Peter Frampton in the 70's, it didn't look good on Napoleon Dynamite, it doesn't look good on you. Only Bob Ross can pull of the 'fro.

11. Star Wars hate - All right look, there's only one return, okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi." Those fuckin' hobbit movies were boring as hell. All it was, was a bunch of people walking, three movies of people walking to a fucking volcano. -- Randall Graves

10. Tiny pet dogs - especially chihuahuas. They serve no fucking purpose.

9. Gwen Stefani - It's breaking my heart to say this, but her current attempt to rape musicals and turn them into pop/techno songs is a terrible idea. Gwen, if you're reading this, please go back to being the super-geek queen we all grew to love!

8. MTV - People in Maui are furious over the portrayal of their youth in MTV's newest "reality" show. After the travesty of many of their other new shows, I alomst look forward to the 17th edition of the Real World vs. Road Rules challenges.

7. Police Dramas on TV - I thought that the Hospital ones were getting out of hand, but now there are (by my count) 8 different police dramas, and those are only the ones with Jerry Orbach RIP.

6. White Rappers - If you ain't MC Paul Barman, stick with the boy bands.

5. Starbucks - This is an excerpt from a real debate on another message board: "le j.- we know what an actual macchiato is. a carmel macchiato is doused in carmel and is not by definition a macchiato- it is an upside down vanilla latte with carmel. we agree it is silly to call it one. but that doesn't mean you aren't a completly snobby asshole. you are the reason people are intimidated about ordering in coffee shops in the first place. does being a jerk make you feel better about yourself, you pathetic dickhead?". In my world, coffee will come in 2 flavors, regular and decaf. And decaf is for the pussies.

4. "Scary" Japanese ghosts - Japan must be pretty fucking haunted to get this many ghosts. And the way that they are infiltrating the current movie culture here in the west is starting to be annoying. I liked the Ring, I liked Ju-on, but I can only be freaked out by the same stringy haired girl so many times.

3. Garfield

2. Japanese cartoons that have been "Americanized" - 4Kidz is the worst of all. So many great cartoons are being sanitized and dumbed down for America's youth.

1. Sopranos on Bravo - I was so fricking excited to see the goshdarn show, but it's so fricking watered down that I can't enjoy what those sonsuvbeaches are talking about.

A banana has 2 uses...

Seriously, Garfield must be written just so people will edit the comics.

Wii got a WE! Wait, scratch that, reverse it.

So princess surprised me on Friday with a Wii. We made a short trip to Bloomington for last minute party supplies on Friday morning. On the way, we stopped off at the local bowling alley so she could peddle her wares to the guys there. They all love the hemp hand cream, and most were running low. Also, I got a nice bonus check from work, so we had some extra scratch.

When we got home, she had to run out to K-Mart for some other last minute things. I had already been up pretty much since Wednesday @ 10 pm, so I was getting tired. She had a party Friday night, and we had a baby sitter lined up, so I was planning on going to bed when she got home.

"You'll probably want to stay up" she told me when she got home. It took a few minutes for me to realize what she meant (she basically had to hold the bag with the Wii in front of my face).

So, I spent the next few hours mucking around with the Wii. It's addicting. It came with a sports package game that has bowling, golf, baseball, tennis, and boxing. All are very cool, but they're mainly just demo style games without much substance. She also got a fishing game for it. Also, there's a virtual console that allows you to download and play older Nintendo games. Everything is so cool about the Wii.

So, I'm waiting for some upcoming birthdays to get some more games. I need to get the kids and princess involved in it, so far none of them have played it. Slea expressed some interest in playing, but so far hasn't. Maybe she'll get into the bowling first, since we had a discussion on the way down to Bloomington about how she was in a bowling league as a kid.

The age of consent in Kentucky isn't what you think it is.
