God, what's his face? Built like a beanpole, curly hair, runs away like a little bitch on a sailboat leaving nothing but a note for his girlfriend who cried and cried over him till the Fourth of July when she decided she doesn't cry over BITCHES ON BOATS
I don't like Alanis Morissette, and I don't like the Black Eyed Peas, but, somehow, when you put them together, it spawns something I do like: this absolutely bizarre video featuring the crap-fest that is Morisette's style and the nonsensical lyrics of the Black Eyed Peas. I present to you, Alanis Morisette singing My Humps:

I have been working a ton at both jobs so I haven't had much time to be on the internet as of late.
So heres what's going on-
Tomorrow is a big day for music. The new Hova album "Kingdom Come" drops. I didn't really like the single "Show me what you got" at first, but its grown on me, and now I love it. I don't know how he can do anything that would top "Reasonable Doubt" or "The Black Album" but even less then perfect Jay-Z is still damn good.
Tom Waits also hits us with 3 CDs of greatness. If you don't know already your a bitch...so heres the deal, title "Orphans" 3 discs each titled Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards. I've heard some of it and it is already in my top 3 releases of the year.
I haven't had a lot of time to play GH2, but I do know it fucking rocks. I went through all the songs on medium in one day (just to unlock) and am now doing it on hard. Sometime I kick ass and sometimes I get my ass kicked, but its always a damn good time.
I've read about half of Neil Gaimans "Fragile Things". So far I have enjoyed "How to talk to girls at paryts" the most, but it is all good.
I want a Wii. If anyone wants to send me one I'll give you my address. Thanks a bunch.
Like I said I have been working way to much...about 30-35 hours a week at Starbucks and 40 at AMF. I have been bowling like shit. My average has droped from 164 to 148. I need to get it back up quick...
Deadwood is still kicking my ass daily. I have now gone through both sessions and I just keep on re-watching it. I should just buy it so I can once again put Netflix to use. I miss all you assholes. Give me a call sometime and remeber to have a drink for me.

I would like to watch Lost, but I'm too far behind to start now. But, I do watch Heroes. So, here's an interesting article about how the two shows may be connected.
If you weren't convinced that Guitar Hero II was going to be awesome, read this.
Here's a better article about the Scarlett Johansson singing Tom Waits.
And it's been a while since I've linked to Lore Sjöberg's column, but this one is hilarious. It follows his foray into setting up a MySpace account with the ultimate punchline of his MySpace page.

So, imdb news is full of strange stuff today. It turns out that Scarlett Johansson has just signed a record deal to record the CD, aptly named, Scarlett Sings Tom Waits. I guess that explains what it is, but who the hell knows how that will turn out.
I actually bought music this weekend. Anyone that knows me well, knows that I have a few CDs from a ways back that I continue to listen to over and over if I'm not listening to the radio. This was a direct link to the fact that my old car's CD player functioned terribly if at all. But I was used to it and the CDs I owned and so now only buy new music if it's something I'm excited about.
This weekend I bought TV on the Radio's Return to Cookie Mountain and The Hold Steady's Boys and Girls in America. I'm loving both of them. I wanted to share how much I enjoyed the CDs with others and so considered writing reviews of them and posting them here. But then I realized that I'm terrible at writing music reviews. I certainly don't have the general music knowledge of others that would allow me to give this music justice. So, I will now point you to Pitchfork's reviews. I normally hate Pitchfork, but I actually agreed with them for once. So, read these, then go buy the music.
