In case anyone else ever reads this…
this album is amazing. Yet I continue to hesitate before diving into his other albums. That is all.

Grooveshark is aprroximately a half step better than listening through people's playlists on Youtube. It's pretty nice about a quarter of the time, but the rest of the time everything's either a huge mess or you can't escape the impression that there's no way that site is legal. Even after reading several articles

OMG!
The book is soooo much better than the movie. But you probably wouldn't understand. Only special, highly advanced people are allowed to know that.

It's English, but still incredibly hard to understand. I'm pretty nervous to find out what his lyrics are like, but the fact that I still have no idea what "All Alright" is about eases these fears.

I probably shouldn't have been surprised…
to hear he has a boyfriend. But I kinda was. It's not that I'm a bigot, it's just I had really expected to learn he was some sort of terrifying cursed doll a la Chucky.

I used to love that movie so much when I was like 6. I'm choosing to live on remembering it was awesome, rather than risking the very possible disappointment of reality though.

Is "Round Here" supposed to be second rate Counting Crows?
I couldn't quite figure out if that's why he linked to that video, or just wanted to show the contrast between the two bands in general. I'd agree it's not their best song, but I do think it's pretty excellent. Although, that video is bloody terrible. Watching

I just blew myself. It wasn't so terrible.

That freeze frame at the end was such bullshit.

I'd take that teacher over Annie any day.

I don't know… the John Mayer trio's "Try!" is actually pretty swell. Of course, since then he's had a "duet" with Taylor Swift, completely ruined "Crossroads" (the song, not the Britney Spears movie, which has clearly not been ruined on any level), and written "say what you need to say" over and over as serious

Craig Ferguson is such a badass. Between the puppets, that snake mug, that time he had Steven Wright pushing Brittany Murphy on a swing for his entire cold open, and actually entertaining monologues, he's unstoppable. This change-up threatens to ruin my Conan/Craig nightly back to back marathons.

My whole family
drove 4 hours out of our way to stop at the San Dimas Circle K where Bill and Ted first met Rufus. It turned out the actual Circle K was actually one town over, so we went there and ate some junk food. Sadly, strange things were not afoot at the Circle K that day.

I think "The Galleria of Jewelry" hurts me even worse than the name Jared as a place. Or dinosaurs. As a totally real philologist, it strikes me as a terrible bastardization of Italian with a very plain English name. It nicely emphasizes the vast chasm between how classy they are and how classy they think they are

I once saw a middle-aged Mexican man rollerblading down the street using ski poles while wearing nevernude caliber cut-offs with a western print button up shirt and a cowboy hat. He had a badass handlebar mustache and what I can only imagine to be some of the toned arms and thighs around.

Anyone else
think the movie looks anticlimactic even not in comparison to the game? That trailer had me thoroughly whelmed.
