- material girls -

From Hannah's post about the Warhol Exhibit (to which I'll be going this weekend):

One of the interesting things the speaker said was "when young students come visit the gallery they all think the women in the print is Madonna. They don't know who Marilyn Monroe is. Can you call this work 'art' when it is not timeless?"

- something in the way -

Are hidden tracks making a comeback? I swear, about half the CDs I've gotten lately have got 'em. Like, that's *so* 1991! And even then it was kind of annoying. (I'm speaking of Endless Nameless on Nevermind, of course.)

2 more pet-peeves:

• People who call you up just to say "I've got a surprise for you!" Uh, not anymore, you don't. It's like that time when my Grade 8 French teacher announced "we're having a *surprise* test tomorrow!" True story.
• People who praise song-writing abilities without looking at the quality (as in "Avril is *so* much better than Britney 'cause she writes all of her songs!"). Cracka please -- even I can write crappy songs.

Why am I taking this so personally? Snowcat perfectly describes my feelings.

I saw this on a button someone was wearing:

No-Carb Diet for 2004:

No Cheney
No Ashcroft
No Rumsfeld
No Bush
And absolutely no Rice

- rodeohead -

I've heard a lot of annoying Radiohead "tributes" before, but this one takes the cake. (Thanks Frito for forwarding this, er, gem.)

And speaking of Radiohead, Com Lag is the newest addition to my Radiohead collection. Amazon sells it for $42.99 but I found it at A&B for $16 CDN. Go figure.

- 'scuse me while i kiss this guy -

Most lyric websites have the chorus of Loretta Young Silks as

You sold Loretta Young Silks
Fashioning yourself as gay

You're so Loretta Young Silks
Fashioning your self-escape

- cookie's fortune -

I shouldn't have served those North Korean fortune cookies. They were so insulting. "You are a coward." No one likes to hear that after a nice meal.

- fo' shizzle my nizzle -

Q: What does Snoop Dogg use for bleach?
A: Bleatch.

(For those who are unfamiliar with the ghetto vernacular, it's pronounced "blee-atch" but I suppose if you didn't know that already, you wouldn't have gotten the joke anyways.)

I challenge you to solve this puzzle. No googling allowed!

- useless information dept. -

2 interesting stats from the Stanley Cup Finals:

• In all 7 games, the team that scored the first goal went on to win the game. When Tampa Bay scored in the first period of game 7, I stopped watching because I just knew how it would end.
• The Lightning are unbeatable when Brad Richards scores: 22-0-2 in the regular season and 9-0 in the playoffs.

- a rush of blood to the head -

I just sold my stocks for the first time. All of it. I still can't feel my legs. I think I'm gonna buy me one of these. And maybe some bling.
