i think i've figured out mtv and vh1's marketing strategy (yes, i know they're the same company). they know people want to see videos, that's why they don't show them, and if they do it's the most banal music imaginable. vh1 shows nothing besides behind the music and now apparently "movies that rock". mtv shows the same real world episodes (which i really am not feeling this season) over and over and over, and spends half an hour showing you how they make the video. this creates a demand for a channel that shows videos, such as mtv2 and vh1 classics. having two extra in-demand channels greatly increases their ad revenue, making viacom even richer with very little effort. ta da!
girl, check this out. the catfight continues.

well, instead of doing any actual work this morning (hey, it's friday, what do you expect?) i've taught myself enough html from here to put a nifty little list of links towards the bottom of my page. my daily lottery fantasies will now be replaced by dreams of a career in web development.

so, yesterday morning i had my usual "ugghh, i have to get ready for work" frustration. it's not that i hate going to work, i hate getting ready for work. brush teeth, listerine, gargle, shave, don't cut face, try to make sideburns somewhat even, wait for shower to get near desired temperature, wash self, dry self, put contacts in, don't burn eyes while doing so, apply deoderant, apply pomade, try to pick out decent outfit in near-comatose state. you'd think with doing this day after day, i'd have the whole process down to a cool clean 5 minutes, but nooooo. and resultingly, i find myself fantasizing about having a sonic shower like janeway on voyager.

then, while in the shower, i started singing (well, in my head) the banana boat song, but instead of "c'mon mister tally-man, tally me banana" i started singing "c'mon mister taliban, get out of afghanistan", i pretty much had a whole song written in 5 minutes. if mad tv or snl haven't done this already, i'm getting myself a brand spankin' new job.


looks like trigger happy bush had too much fun blowing up caves. somebody please get him a playstation for christmas.

groovetech is now streaming live dj sets from halcyon. check it check it out.

so, it's like december 5th and there are still leaves on the trees in union square park and washington square park. on top of that, i have a very light sweater and a very light jacket on today, upon returning from my lunchtime shopping extravaganza i was sweating. i'm not complaining, but don't you think it's a bit odd? did i mention it's december 5th?
