With The Quickness

Before I forget:

Yesterday, I happened to walk up the huge, 51st street E subway stop escalator behind the girl with the bounciest ponytail I have ever seen.

With each step, it made the full half circle from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock, 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock, etc.

She was having the Good Hair Day that we all yearn for and never seem to get.

 

Second, I don't think I've mentioned it before, but I cannot fucking stand these people that constantly drum their knuckles against the doors of the subway. You know, you're just pulling into the station but the doors won't open for another ten seconds or so and they start punching the window like they think they're caged tigers or something, just waiting to burst forth into the jungle and find their dinner.

"Just WATCH ME! As soon as I'm freed from this cage just WATCH ME! KING OF THE JUNGLE!! WATCH ME!!!!!!!!!!!"

You're not impressing anyone; no one as important as you are trying to make people think you are would be taking public transportation, you'd be flying in your diamond Lear jet.

You fucking wang.

 

And finally, just Monday, I discovered the N.A.S.A. project.

No, not the space one, the one with 75% of the Wu Tang Clan, Chuck D, David Byrne, M.I.A., Krs One, Kanye West, Lykke Li, Karen O., a ton of DJ's and others.

It stands for "North America South America" and seems to represent a coming together of North American and South American artists, but, aside from a few tracks, there's a lot more North than South on the album.

Some interesting stuff, occasionally reminiscent of Gorillaz actually (specifically one track featuring Gorillaz collaborator, Del the Funkee Homosapien called 'Soul Samba'), but nothing too crazy.

Well, except for David Byrne teaming up with Chuck D.

That is pretty crazy.

The whole thing might remind those who remember it of the Judgment Night soundtrack, simply because it teams up groups some might find incongruous with varying results.

 

I believe that's all.

Still immersed in The Girl...Fire and still enjoying it more that The Girl...Dragon.

After the sixth season of 24, my heart just couldn't take the unrelenting, pulse-pounding action, so I've decided to take some well-deserved time off and watch the rest of The IT Crowd.

The lead actress is sort of a combination of Shirley Manson and a woodchuck and can be funny and cute in the same breath.

Very fun stuff.

High recommend.

 

All right.

Done.
