Thinking, That's All

Since I seem incapable of finishing my best albums of the year post (its coming someday, i swear) here are some random thoughts to tide me over

1. This is my new favorite website to waste time on
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/

2. Elliott Smith writes some of the cleverest lyrics of all time, and they stick in my head. Stuff like
"The ghost in your smile's always looking for new bodies to haunt" in New Disaster or
"Cuz when I talk to you on the phone/well it's just like being alone" from Half Right...and those were his first songs or bootlegs. I mean c'mon. He is missed.

3. I watch too much Law and Order. Way too much.

4. Commercials I: I understand that Chuck Norris=Hilarious, but how can anyone who has had that much obvious plastic surgery be intimidating or tough?

5. Commercials II: I have a guilty soft spot in my heart for the Garmin commercials...especially the one where the guy is lost (you know, "look there's a moose/give me a noose...) the two scary bikers and the homeless guy singing in the backseat is priceless.

6. Everyone should read the avclub, see I'm Not There, listen to the Mountain Goats, and give me five dollars.

Naked and Famous

I am at least one of those things.

This is barely a list, but hey, my blog, my rules

List of videos on YouTube featuring me (this post should be called Bored and Self-Aggrandizing)
