i am growing weary of pop culture. brad is legally adopting angelina's children? don't care. i'm losing interest in lindsay lohan's hair color du jour. who the hell is pete doherty, aside from kate moss' coke dealer? i'm sick of paris hilton's rotating exotic pets. the mystery of jake gyllanhaal's sexual orientation is boring me (although i'm still convinced that he is "toothy tile"). and for the love of god, i'm going to kill myself if i see another "laguna beach" brat in the news.

there's nothing scandalous and spectacular to really get me interested anymore. what happened to the good ol' days of interesting celebrity feuds and bizarre celebrity hookups (although i will admit, jon voight and diana ross? really??)?

i guess what i really mean here is that i miss dennis rodman.




he was (arguably) the best rebounding forward in the history of the nba, married a supermodel, dressed like a woman, and said weird shit. there was never a dull moment with this guy. i loved the wild speculation that happened every time there was a headline about him. "what the hell happened now? did he pierce his ear to his cheek? i'll bet he'd do something like that. did he suckerpunch a pregnant woman? i could see that happening."

he always said some really funny shit though, too. like this: "as long as i play ball, i can get any woman i want. but there's no scoreboard in my bedroom. wilt chamberlain lied when he said he had 20,000 women. wilt should open his own sperm bank." wtf, dennis?

or this: "i can go out to a salon and have my nails painted pink, and then go out and play in the nba, on national television, with pink nails." i fully endorse this.

my favorite, though, is this: "chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is ten, or something." [on chicago bulls team chemistry being overrated]

smart, he ain't. fascinating? hell yes! probably a million times more interesting than anyone in the news right now. take that, nick lachey!

of course i'll still read it all and know more about the celebrities than you do. but i won't be happy about it unless someone takes a page from dennis rodman's book and decides to do something really interesting.


it's been brought to my attention that i apparently owe a few more songs for the weekly 5 because i skipped a bunch of time over thanksgiving.

weekly 5
theme: songs i listened to in the last ten minutes.

1. the blue van - mob rule (the art of rolling)
-i owe this gem to my little brother. hats off, kiddo. the tables have turned.

2. tom waits - pasties and a g-string (small change)
-tom waits is hot. the scatting is so sweet. this song almost makes me wish i was a stripper instead of a cocktail waitress. if i was a stripper, this would be my song. the chinese algebra analogy is quite high-brow. i hope you can grab that one.

3. tin hat trio - fire of ada (memory is an elephant)
-i really wanted to share the other one ("happy hour") with you, but the ID3 tags are messed up and yousendit won't have it. this one is still good. real good.

4. bob seger - c'est la vie (greatest hits)
-this song makes me smile. that's really it.

5. metallica - no leaf clover (s&m)
-this is my favorite metallica song. it's such an epic that i almost feel regret for not liking the metal genre. almost.


feedback on the new layout is appreciated. i think it's super cheesy.
