Oh. My. God.

Pizazz, huh?

I'm going to get a drink and ponder what I've just seen.

I want this

Patches

Wow...These little patches sure pack a nice little buzz in them.
I'm sporting the Step 3 model right now, slapped carefully over my right shoulder.
After about 10 minutes, it begins to burn slightly, then itch worse. Some moments after that, a general foggy-headed type of euphoria kicks in. It's all very dramatic.

Intesting phenomenon, this addiction thing. I went for 2 days with no nicotine substitution, then today felt weak with heavy craving, so I went back to the box of patches. I think I shall use the entire course of them, regardless of whether or not I feel that I 'need' them, as I am hellbent on interrupting this cycle once and for all.

Wish me luck and thank the powers that be that I'm isolated during this.
Well, I have a comrade who's detoxing similarly -- but I'll leave that for another entry.

How Curious George Escaped the Nazis & Other Fun Things

From the NYT - "Curious George is every 2-year-old sticking his finger into the light socket, pouring milk onto the floor to watch it pool, creating chaos everywhere. One reason the mischievous monkey is such a popular children's book character is that he makes 4- to 6-year-olds feel superior: fond memories, but we've given all that up now." This article is both informative and uplifting. And who doesn't dig that wild little guy?

Check out this nice little chop up at the beginning of the clip (18 Mbs) of Bette Davis Eyes that played on XTC Radio (hit it via their website or iTunes -> Radio -> Electronic -> XTC Radio 160 kbps). It's on here pretty much all afternoon thru the cocktail hours.

Washed Up

I still have yet to wrap my head around the fact that the figure to the left is the President of the United States...I'm mortified. Literally.

And while we're on it, Paris Hilton had a quickly aborted attempt at a music career now didn't she? Yes, I believe she did and her first only single was so aptly titled, "Screwed". Marketing genuis - the song sucks as hard as she does. Literally.

Oh Snap! I didn't.

Yes I did.


Well, if you want to amuse or divert your self from the truths given above, make your name in Coldplay X&Y code here.

Any movie that can mix Lamb's "Gorecki" into the sung dialogue and reference Anthony Michael Hall's rev-up in 16 Candles gets a nod of the hat. In the second evening of I'm Becoming A Huge Fag, I watched Moulin Rouge with my boy. Understand, this comes on the heels (pun intended) of lip-synching Mommie Dearest last night. (Both of which were available freely & easily via satelite, mind you). Television is getting really, really gay. So am I it seems. Gross.

To encapsulate: Moulin Rouge as a movie and audio mixing endeavor rocks.
I began crushing on Nicole Kidman whilst viewing this. She's architecturally gifted and seems like a nice girl who's just trying to get by. Watching her comic jumpings about to the tune of the Can-can is quite a sight to see. Check it, I rec it.

Oh shit, Truth or Dare is on now.. I picked a great week to quit smoking. For realz.

Friday

Despite the smackdown from Potential Great Job Offerer, I'm back in the fucking saddle (see below), guns blazing..

Of course, I mean I've thrown smoking cessation into the mix on top of all the bullshit I got going on upstairs about My Job/Life. So far so good.
