the whipping: itunes shuffle meme
courtesy of aubrey:
1. Put Your iTunes on Shuffle. 2. For each question, press the ‘next’ button to get your answer. (or listen to each song, like I did.) 3. You must write down the name of the song no matter how silly it sounds! 4. Put any comments in brackets after the song name. 5. (I added this in myself) - Tag some peeps you want to do the same.
What do your friends think of...

so many things to catch you all up on, but kraig beat me to posting this one, and i am too lazy to rewrite it myself.

songsmith
i sent my dad a link one of the many posts making fun of the songsmith commercial. (if you haven’t seen it, go google it.)
his response was to send me this. genius. http://music.metafilter.com/2943/Runnin-With-The-Songsmith

Hey guys, Sorry for the lack of posts. I’m on vacation. But listen up, because I have a task for you. I came across this post in my recent Craigslist travels:
Stephanie has entered the “Quinceanera of Your Dreams” contest sponsored by Enlace, the Spanish-language publication of the San Diego Union-Tribune.
I don’t speak Spanish, but according to a terrible Babel Fish...

tracey jordan v. tracey morgan
i wasn’t going to check in again till the end, but, um, is tracy morgan really like that? i mean, is he always in character? or his is character actually him? i thought for a split second he might say something serious after saying he got to speak for the show since obama won, and this was what post-racial america looks like. but giving a thank you speech that includes “we love lornie...
first half of the globes recap
high point: 100% goes to ricky gervais. i can’t wait til thats up on youtube.
low point: holy god renee zellweger looked awwwful.
also, i think it’s weird that they don’t separate the dramas and comedies for supporting actor. robert downey jr. should have won for that category, but he was mashed in with heath ledger.
Watchgod i love neil patrick harris. have i mentioned that before?

from overheard in ny
Overcaffeinated teen with drink: I need to blend this. I wish I had blenders for hands. Serious friend: Some people would want to be able to fly or read minds… I guess that’s a pretty good super power too. Overcaffeinated teen with drink: I’d used my blender hands to stir up the air and fly, like helicopter propellers. Serious friend: Come on, think about the physics of that. If...

genius
i showed the photo of my ipod fatal error message to the guy at the apple store directing traffic to the genius bar. he had never seen it before and made me show a coworker who was equally perplexed.
leave it to my ipod to be the one to confound geniuses. (and go down in flames like a true rock star)
range
today started out as a very sad day. my ipod may have breathed its last breath. i plugged it in so it could sync up before my walk to work, and i got a restore message. after restoring twice, i got a “fatal error” message. i didn’t think things actually ever said “fatal error”, i thought that was a joke. it’s not.
but then, awesomeness occurred. victor, who has...
when we all sang for tony orlando
when i was a kid, my brother and i had a mini record player. we had a bunch of kid-appropriate records, and when those got old, we’d go through my dad’s collection. hidden away was the gem of all gems, an old 45 he had recorded with his friend chuck. chuck yaner (who’s other claim to fame in my family was his bestowing upon me my first nickname - cheeks) worked at a recording...

best. game. ever. this is their online version, which, while not as awesome as the physical game, is pretty damn awesome. becky and i crushed the competition over new year’s.
cosby show
oh my god. marcus and i somehow got sucked into tv land and the cosby show back to back. both episodes have involved theo and cockroach performing a rap they wrote for school. do they rap in every episode and i blocked it out? or tv land has a theo cockroach rapping marathon.
there is another episode on now. i will keep you updated. i really hope its a mini rap marathon.
spoilers
Me: (something about LOST)
Marcus: just blog about it
Me: i can't blog about it, kraig hates spoilers
Marcus: oh, yeah, kraig hates spoilers. he also won't watch movies with dead people.
csi
after 3 episodes of csi:ny, and running halfway into my second hour of regular csi, i can’t even remember what the crimes in this episode are. they all blend together.
time warner
i’m really excited that the whole time-warner/viacom hullaballoo is over with, because there is a CSI:NY marathon on spike.
