I'm feeling a little stressed today. Mainly family related things, work-related things and... other-related things.

However, I just did something that makes it awwwllll better. I am now the proud owner of two tickets to see Flight of the Conchords at Massey Hall on April 21. I am SO excited and cannot wait.

It's business time!

Proving once again, everything IS better with ninjas.

As far as national anthems go, I've always had a soft spot for the Star Spangled Banner. Of course, being a sports fan, I've heard it quite a lot over the years, heck I even know the words to it. But as far as I'm concerned, no one has ever performed it as well as Jimi Hendrix. Jimi's crunchy guitar just makes the Star Spangled Banner sound even ( Read more... )

My Launchcast is currently playing Wicked Game by Chris Isaak. I'm not a fan of Chris Isaak's music, but this comes recommended by way of fans of REM (whom I AM a fan of), so go figure ( Read more... )

It played the Knights of the Round Table song from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Reason why it played Knights of the Round Table? Because it was recommended by fans of William Shatner.
