Ass Sale

I think the first two items in this list are the most amusing.

Mood: Amused
Music: Rainbow: "Stone Cold"

Mayhem

I imagine there are a few people out there that wonder why I'm a fan of Deep Purple.

This is why.

Mood: Excited
Music: Deep Purple: "Mandrake Root"

Funny Business

There's some funny stuff here.

Mood: Amused
Music: Pink Floyd: "The Great Gig In the Sky"

Come On Down!

Apparently Drew Carey has been named the new host of The Price Is Right. I'll be interested to see how that works out.

Mood: Intrigued
Music: Styx: "Snowblind"

Things Happen

For anyone that hasn't read it, the web comic Achewood is quite amusing and entertaining, if a bit bizarre at times. From today's strip:

Soccer is popular everywhere but America. Why, you ask? Because Americans like when things happen.

Indeed.

Mood: Amused
Music: Air Supply: "Young Love"

Talent?

Maryanne and I have been watching America's Got Talent. So far among my favorites have been the punked-up rockabilly band Johnny Come Lately and The Glamazons.

So when last night's show was the first one to feature voting, I wanted to get online and vote. NBC made the announcement that voting would begin at 8:25 p.m. CDT. As of 9:35 p.m. last night, voting still wasn't working.

So apparently, America's got talent, but unfortunately NBC hasn't hired any of it for their website.

Mood: Disappointed
Music: The Glamazons: "Hot Stuff"

Latin Mass

It looks like Pope Benedict XVI is trying to single-handedly undo everything established by Vatican II.

Mood: Concerned
Music: Van Morrison: "Into the Mystic"

Ginormous

The editors of the Mirriam-Webster collegiate dictionary have added about a hundred new words to the next edition, and there are some ginormous surprises.

Mood: Intrigued
Music: Eric Clapton: "Cocaine"

A Friendship For the Ages

I stayed up much too late last night watching Tombstone. It's a good movie; not exactly 100% historically accurate, but damn entertaining. It's the cast and characters that make it, really (someone called it "The good Wyatt Earp film", no doubt referring to Kevin Costner's bit of epic-length drudge): Kurt Russell, Sam Elliott, Jason Priestly, Thomas Haden Church, Dana Delaney, a nice cameo by Charlton Heston, and Val Kilmer as a truly memorable Doc Holliday:

Sherman McMasters: Why you doin' this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Sherman McMasters: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: ...I don't.

The movie probably romanticizes the friendship between Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, but it's the memorable romance of a friendship for the ages:

Doc Holliday: ...Say goodbye to me, go grab that spirited actress and make her your own. Take that and don't look back. Live every second, live right on through the end. Live Wyatt, live for me. Wyatt, if you were ever truly my friend, or if ya ever had just the slightest of feelin' for me, leave now, leave now, please.
Wyatt Earp: Thanks for always being there, Doc.

I hope that someday, at the end of a long life, I'll get the chance to tell my best friends "Thanks for always being there."

Mood: Thoughtful
Music: Badfinger: "Day After Day"
