I gave at The Office

Ok, today is my only day off for the week. A drawback of having 2 jobs. Another drawback is having to suck up to 2 bosses.

How have I decided to spend these precious free moments? Sit on my bum and watch The Office! Actually, I did start the day by going to the gym (I'm not a complete loser- ok, I am). Thing is, I had no intention of watching Michael Scott and the rest of the Dunder Mifflin crew all day. But damn Rainn Wilson and his spot on portrayal of sycophant Dwight Schrute (the Jim and Pam storyline also shares some of the blame (please don't hook up!!)). The next thing you know I've watched all of Season 2 and half of Season 3 (courtesy of Netflix's Watch Now).

It's only 6:30pm now. I may finish Season 3. But first, I need a pint of Chunky Monkey to complete my transformation into a pile of oatmeal.

That's what she said!

This ain't no freaking Peep show!

My week is off to a grand start. I got a wicked papercut from the latest issue of Wired. Never trust a magazine with a picture of the Apple logo surrounded by razor wire on the cover.


If any of you received a ton of Peeps for Easter, here are a few suggestions with what to do with all that marshmallow goodness.

Microwaving them is always good for a laugh.



This guy has a video tutorial on how to massacre Peeps.



This guy just goes the direct route.



Peeps eventually just wind up in the toilet anyways.

I personally prefer Peep jousting.

Let me know what you do with your Peeps.

Adjagas is fronting for the devil!

Haunting Nordic Folk.

That's how a record label describes Scandinavian band Adjágas. Ever hear of them? That's good because they want to eat your soul.

Need proof? Here's the cover to their album.

I know that image was in the videotape from The Ring. If you pop this cd in your player, don't be surprised if Samara pops out of your speakers.

Still not convinced? How about this little nugget.

Combining the strange beauty of Scandinavian music with the sounds of American folk, Adjágas are exposing yoik music to an international audience. Yoik is characterized by hypnotic, repetitive chanting, and has seen little mainstream production or distribution. For their self-titled debut, Adjágas enlisted the help of Jaga Jazzist producer Andreas Mjøs, who adds subtle texture and emphasizes their hauntingly melodic voices. Critics have drawn breathless comparisons to an acoustic Sigur Rós, calling the album "a thing of rare beauty... [with] a naked intimacy that stays with the listener long after the last chord has rung out" (Music Week).

That's the PR release for the band. In case you didn't notice, that release contains the words "hauntingly", "naked", "hypnotic", and "chanting." Those are the main ingredients for demonic possession. They are also being compared to Sigur Rós. Isn't that the killer in No Country For Old Men? Don't be surprised if you go to one of their shows and the singer flips a coin and asks you to call it. Should you call "heads" or "tails"? My suggestion- run like a Kenyan on crack! Run for the emergency exit before a wormhole of eternal damnation opens up and sucks you to Hell!


If you still want to be skeptical you can listen to the album for yourself. Please let me know if you're going to listen to more than one track. I'll be sure to make arrangements for Stanley Steemer to come by your place to clean up your skull fragments and gray matter from the walls and carpet.

Enjoy!

Madonna of the Rock(s) and Roll Hall of Fame!

Anyone watch the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony last night? Is it just me, or is Madonna devolving into Carol Channing?



It's just a matter of time before Madonna is doing a national tour of Hello, Dolly!

It's fun comparing the two photos for hidden religious iconography like in the Davinci painting of Madonna of the Rocks. I'm confident that the Carol Channing photo is a reference that Madonna will never die, just get older.





I've got a big announcement coming soon! Aren't you giddy?

Hey Random Readers!!

Did any of you catch Ellen Page hosting SNL this weekend? Not the best show this season. That honor belongs to Tina Fey's episode last week (I could lick her scar like a cherry tootsie roll!).

The opening monologue did make me grin on the inside.

The final skit also had some smiley moments.



Was Ellen Page telling us something?

I can't wait to see her in Smart People and give her a hug with my legs in friendship!
