"It's this one thing that caught me slippin'" - Amerie, One Thing
Yes, I'm obsessed with that joint up there something ridiculous right now. I played it on repeat 8 times straight yesterday and a grand total of 16 times since I got laced with the track about 24 hours ago. It's a for real get out of your seat and dance track.
Speaking of get out of your seat and dance tracks, Usher's Caught Up is almost there but not quite. Maybe it's just because I'm not feeling the video.
Yes, I do watch MTV2's Hip Hop Countdown on Sunday mornings and it's not just cuz I'm totally crushin' on Amanda Diva.
One Thing just got put on repeat again.
The City and America Left (featuring mostly Air America shows) are my two favorite XM Radio stations. It's nice to hear how much Al Franken's show has improved. It's disheartening to hear how annoying Janeane Garofalo is. Every time she's making a good point, she goes off into the crazy talk. That's okay, though, because I just flip back to The City and catch the djxclusive.com metro mix or DJ Kam's mix show.
No, I'm not really down with crunk but, yes, I do love Roll Call. Something about Cube breaking out the all black gear in the video and hearing him get some serious gutter rhyme on gets me amped.
I watched the first disc of Nip/Tuck Season 1 and liked it a lot. F/X has quality, edgy, mature dramatic television on lock (HBO is excluded from that list because there's television and then there's HBO).
Speaking of HBO, here's some links about The Wire.
My Eats, Shoots & Leaves review is missing some things. It's missing me talking about how I love RSS feeds and bloglines because it allows me to avoid cluttered designs and just focus on the words. It's also missing me really delving into the true inner workings of my snobbery. Maybe I'll talk about that at some point but probably not.
I was going to do a new piece honoring MLK day but not much has changed in the last year. Bush is still putting his foot in his mouth and Boondocks is still hilarious.
Oh, by the way, yes I will be buying a mac mini. I'm not very kind to laptops which is why I prefer desktops but a CPU I can carry in the palm of my hand. Whoo doggies. That's going to work.
Had the pleasure of being up in Club NV (NYC) with Amanda Diva last week. She's even prettier in person. She can curse with the best of them too.

I wanna love Janeane but she def. goes off on some bugged-out tangents A LOT and says the kind of stuff that the right loves to use to paint everyone on the left as wacky anti-Americans with (her frequent "Cracker Belt" tirades and calls for the Blue States to seceeed immediately come to mind). So why do I still have this weird urge to put it on her though even though she's not what I consider a traditionally beautiful woman though?!!
