Now, Demented Are Go does some kick ass covers.  They did a great cover of "Cast Iron Arm,"  . . . . but damn, the original is so goddamned cool.  Like, COOL.

I can only listen to it when no one is in my office, because I always end up moving my head in some chicken like movement.

God, I love this song.  And, then I scratched the CD so I can ( Read more... )

I had read stories about help lines moving to India, but have never actually spoken to someone from India. I asked her "Are you in India" and she answered, "That is not relevant information."

Hello, she was a beauty in the 1940s a.k.a. curvesAlso, reading the ( Read more... )

Am I crazy for not liking Dead Poets Society? I remember in high school, people went ga ga over it. Oh, it's so powerful, provacative, passionate? I just found it extremely cheesy. Why? Well, just watch it! If Robin Williams is in a drama, it's bound to be full of cheese-and not nice cheese, just ugly, old cheese. The story is so unoriginal, the ( Read more... )

Last night, I went clothes shopping with the gift certificate my boss gave me for Christmas/ Chanukah.  There are some great sales at the mall.  If only there were great clothes.  BUT, thankfully, I have a boyfriend who doubles as a shopping buddy-that guy’s got good taste and there’s nothing he likes more than picking out clothes and making me try ( Read more... )
