I have positive feelings about flapjacks, particularly when they are drenched in a ridiculously unhealthy amount of butter and maple syrup.

Love that Blondie song. Performed a lyrical dance to it back when I still did that kind of stuff (i.e. college).

Love Furnace Room Lullaby. Also, Costello and Waits both also showed up in my Shuffle. Are we the same person?

Yes, the More Pink compilation does strangely include a few b-sides that didn't come from UTP. It was just interesting that the two examples you cited were from the first album rather than UTP. Little Earthquakes had a ton of great b-sides.

I'm not normally a fan of Pandora's Aquarium, but she performed it live when I saw her this summer, and it was amazing.

Flying Dutchman and Sugar were actually b - sides from Little Earthquakes, not Under the Pink, but UTP had some good ones to, like Honey, and the limited single with covers of A Case of You, Strange Fruit, and If 6 We're 9. There were some live tracks on the UTP singles as well.

I started reading The Hot Zone while I was sitting in the waiting room at my dentist's office. That was a bad idea.

I watched this earlier this week with my partner, who was aware that it ends up a horror movie, but didn't know any details going in (and I certainly didn't want to spoil it for him). His comment at the end was "What the fuck did I just see?" This coming from a guy who loves David Lynch. The first half of this…

Man, I'm so early today, I feel giddy. GIDDY! Anyway, here goes.

Bones also has some of the most egregious car placement ads, where the characters stop what they're doing to talk about the awesome features of the car they're driving. It is always awkward and painful.

Liked for Instinct!

Nightbreed is my favorite Elfman score. I'm excited about the director's cut blu-rayof the movie coming out!

Wait, did L7 cover Blondie? I may have to look into this.
