No, you can NOT haz popular website!!1

Anyway, just watched the remake of "The Day The Earth Stood Still" last night. I'd never seen the original, but the heavy-handedness was unbearable at times. As was Will Smith's son. I fear what he will become... It is impressive, however, to see how Hollywood can keep finding roles in which Keanu Reeves doesn't act. His performance in Day made his performance in The Matrix look like his performance in Bill & Ted.

You with me?

Also, checked out the new Tori Amos and Eminem albums respectively.

Tori, Tori, Tori...I think her fire may be out. Except for maybe three or four interesting tracks (Give, Strong Black Vine, Police Me and the title track), the rest ranges from meh-ish to the soul scalding Adult Contemporary I thought she had turned away from with American Doll Posse.

But I was WRONG.

It's an all right Tori Amos album, but nothing really amazing there sadly.

And as for Eminem's first album in four years? He seems not to have changed much and although he is literally just turning up the Offend-O-Meter, it still works. He is still shocking without apparently trying while Marilyn Manson is just rambling on about the WEIRDEST shit. There is a song in which "Christopher Reeve" does a verse (complete with affected voice and neck tube noises) which includes the chorus "I guess it's time for you to hate me again" (Medicine Ball), a song in which he kidnaps, drugs, rapes and/or kills Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan (Same Old Song and Dance) and just a plethora (literal definition of the word) of things that are so shocking they're funny. He's doing the same thing he's always done and, unless you didn't like that in 1998, he continues to do it well. But I have to admit that I am confused. The album is called "Relapse". On it he mentions that he was in rehab and is now back on drugs (namely Valium...a LOT of talking about Valium), that he's been clean for a year and that he never went to rehab. It doesn't keep me up and night, but, you know...what the fuck Marshall?

Had lunch with Jess and Danielle today. Never seen Danielle so happy. Dan has been an incredibly positive influence on her life it seems and that's awesome. Rock on, you two.

Meanwhile, Jess's Dave Man has just learned to sew humans in Doctor School.

Watch how this skill has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER in Jessica Wade's very own Dead End.

To those who grok the reference in the title...we salute you.
And it's APPLICABLE.
Oh sweet buttery corn it's APPLICABLE.
I am now contributing to TWO massively homoerotic blogs stored RIGHT HERE, on the Internet!
The first is the Really Simple Pun Aggregate started by one Colin Goldberg a few weeks ago.
It's an aggregate, see...of puns...really simple puns...that give worms...to ex-girlfriends!
It's pretty groan and cringe worthy stuff.
Aaaaaand speaking of words that rhyme with "groan"....

Originally conceptualized as a book by Dan "The Slim, Fatal Blade" Delgado (no relation to Denise "The Butcher" Delgado) and then RE-conceptualized as a blog by Philip "Thundercat" Tucker, I am also happy to be named as a contributor to "Dead Ends", a blog that takes snapshots from people living in various stages of the Zombie Apocalypse...snapshots which would be included on the last page of the photo album...if you catch my drift.
At the time of writing, there are only four entries up, three from myself and one from Dan "The Dancing, Flickering Blade" Delgado (again, no relation to Denise "The Butcher" Degado) but there is another entry of Dan's and the same from me on the way.
Plus, we are open to adding contributor's.
No holds barred.
So, if you are into the Zombie Apocalypse and want to write about some poor, unfortunate bastard's end...you are welcome to join.
Just drop one of us an e-mail and start getting eschatologic on our asses.

In other, less bloggy news, about 7 of the 15 Manson tracks have leaked and it looks like this is going to be another disappointment.
Not as horrid and unlistenable as "Eat Me, Drink Me", but just a collection of unimpressive, easily forgotten Manson tracks.

In the realm of music that doesn't suck, this Saturday I will be "dropping some lyrics" onto Duck Jam/Duckernauts with Ray.
Prepare for testicular/labial puckering.

Just got back from lunch.
Turns out, today was Spring.
Enjoy.
