we're gonna have a tv party tonight (alright)

I have to say, while I love where I live, I can't believe my cable provider does not have Turner Classic Movies in their basic lineup. WTF? I move one town over and I miss out?

I had to sit at my parents' house last week just to catch Night of the Hunter. And apparently, this morning I missed Bringing Up Baby. And Silent Movie Sunday? No more!

You know, I don't ask for much. I could do without the MTVs and the VH1s and all that nonsense. I don't need to watch famewhores eat tarantulas for money. Or spoiled brats throwing a hissyfit when they don't get the silver mercedes they wanted. And I especially don't need to see Tyra saying, "Congratulations. You're still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model" for like the bazillionth time (Although that would make for a fantastic drinking game).

Meh, I could go on a rant about how TV isn't good anymore, or cinema for that matter, but it really isn't that bad. You just have to search through the muck.

good news, everyone

This guy is ridiculously cool. Sadly, I know just enough about space to be utterly interested, but not enough to fully understand it . This guy, however, makes it a little more accessible, and hilarious, to the layperson.

Our favorite Soup host is coming to Chicago. Squee!

Oh and also, I totally quit the second job. So I might actually have more time for myself, as well as writing, soon. Maybe.

not only that

but we also live in the most stressful city. fantastic!

woo hoo!

I officially live in a disaster area!

This album has been in rotation lately. If that's before your time, the lead singer played the guitar dude in There's Something About Mary. Is that before your time too? God I'm old.

actually if you must know, here's the current, but not complete, lineup:

The Idiot
Transformer
So Alone/LAMF

and I'm trying to find two, no, three things on the interwebs, maybe you can help:

Naz Nomad and the Nightmares
The Wild in the Streets Soundtrack
Stay With Me by The Dictators

So... bit of a New York kick lately I suppose.
