Oh, New York, How I Miss You...
From the most recent “Overheard In New York”:
Suit, tapping singing girl on the shoulder: You sing wonderfully. Girl: Thank you very much. Suit: Yeah, by “wonderfully” I mean it sounds like a cat getting ass raped by a donkey. So I am sure that everyone else would appreciate you not doing that anymore as it is only 6 am.

Thought I would post this here seeing as it took me two days to work on. I’m really not good at describing myself or trying to find interesting things about me. So here it is, 25 random things about me:
1. I am only doing this because I’m not feeling well and it will provide a distraction.
2. I have this bad habit of buying either a lot of books or a lot of cd’s at once, and...

On March 24th, EMI/Capitol will be reissuing expanded versions of Radiohead’s first three albums — Pablo Honey, The Bends and OK Computer. While this is clearly another attempt for EMI/Capitol to milk as much as they can from a band that they no longer have, let’s just take a look at the tracklisting for this reissue of The Bends:
CD1:
01 Planet Telex
02 The Bends

EDS
scarydan:
An episode of Mystery Diagnosis dealing with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome will be on Monday, January 12th at 7pm EST on the Discovery Health Channel (in the USA).
A friend of mine suffers from EDS, and as you’ll see if you watch the program, diagnosing it is difficult as awareness amongst doctors is not as great as it could be. Here are some details from Karolyn, the friend who has EDS.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
I have this habit of reading IMDb trivia while I’m watching a movie. I’ve read this bit about The Shining before, but it’s something I love to imagine: “Stanley Kubrick made the cast watch Eraserhead to put them in the mood he wanted from them.”
"I'm afraid I just blue myself."
I may be new to high-definition bandwagon, but there’s a few blu-ray releases that I simply cannot wait for. I’m trying to be a little conservative in what I purchase on blu-ray by only choosing releases I think could really benefit from being seen in high def. I’m not out to upgrade my entire DVD collection because, quite honestly, a lot of those DVD’s upscale quite nicely...

My friend erin challenged me to a game of hers… to pick five musicians I really like and then pick my ten favorite songs of theirs, along with my favorite album. I can never resist a reason to make a list.

Before Rilo Kiley released their first album “Take Offs and Landings,” they released an EP entitled “The Initial Friend.” But even before that EP, they had another version of the EP which was simply “Rilo Kiley.” Anywho, I just uploaded this very first album/EP for a friend and thought I would share the joy that is early Rilo Kiley: yeah, i sent it.

I do love a good list
TV.com has made their own list of the “Top 100 Everything of 2008” and I could not agree more with their top ten (well, except maybe #5, but only because I never watched that show):

2. Lost 4.05: “The Constant”
3. Tina Fey
4. The importance of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
5. Omar Little’s farewell (The Wire)
6. The guys...
