Last song: Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

Sort by Time:
Shortest song: Main Title from LOST at :16

Last Album: I have about 12 tracks with no Album, but the last album really listed is You Picked Me - Single by A Fine Frenzy

Random questions:

How many songs come up when you search for "sex": 0

There, wasn't that fun? Try it, it will be interesing.

Someone stop my constant banner changing


Dear Friend,
Seriously, I shouldn't change the banner and background colors with every post. Should I? What do you think of this one? I like that it has both of my favorite LOST characters. Now, if I could just find a Heroes banner with just Peter and Hiro. I suppose that's not too hard to find, if I actually tried.
Anyway, friend, I actually posted for a reason. If you like Christmas music you need to get Josh Groban's Noel right now. This man was born to sing Christmas Carols. Perhaps that seems a small and inconsequential calling, but really that's why God put him on earth. He can sing whatever he wants, and sound good doing it, but this is a great CD.
Maybe if you don't like really traditional carols you won't like it. I, however, enjoyed how classic the songs are. You don't always need to change the tempo of a carol to make it seem new and wonderful. This CD proves it.
I'm not too fond of the duets on the CD, that's my only complaint. Other than that, it's great. Buy it.
Since buying this CD my Josh Groban "luv" has been in full force. I've never had what I would call a crush on this guy, I don't find him attractive, per se, but he is photogenic in my view. In interviews he seems nice, but not really dynamic. My opinion of him is decidedly ho-hum, yet I'm becoming temporarily obsessed. Such is my fandom. Squee away!
I'm weird, aren't I?

Excessive size of Title picture, yup


Dear Friend,
Why did I use a wallpaper as a title picture? I don't know, because I could I suppose.
Have you been watching any new shows? I've only added Chuck to my regular lineup of TV shows. It's good, but I'm not in love with it. I'm sort of using it as a poor replacement of Psych. I don't get any new Psych until January. Not fun. Anyway, Chuck can be funny, it just seems lacking in... something. Maybe I'll find it down the line, or maybe I won't.
Still watching Heroes. I kind of wonder why, though. I know why, Peter Petrelli, but his current storyline is getting stupid. Yeah, sure, forget about finding out your identity by opening a box that's sitting right in front of you by instead making out with random Irish girl. I still dislike Claire, but Noah Bennet remains interesting. Maya and Alejandro fail to maintain my interest. The rest isn't worth noting.
Still watching Dancing with the Stars. Nothing worth mentioning.
The Office remains awesome.

In DVD news, Netflix has Jem. Yeah... Wow, does that show suck. In a good way. Awful clothes, awful music, horrible storylines just jammed into a limited time. Yup, nostalgic and awful. Such love.
The only part of Jem that I really hated was that it was between me and my Campion movies. Yeah, my queue on Netflix had Campion after Jem seasons 1 and 2. Campion is a mystery series that aired back in the 80s or something. I'm not sure. They're "calm" almost to the point of being dull. They are interesting, or I wouldn't watch them. No gore or violence, really. I think some parts of them are supposed to be scary, but fail. I still love them.
