“Lost”, Yeah no kiddin’!!!!

So “lost” premieres tonight but like every season the night before they had the big two hour recap of the “what the F&$%#^@*#&)”?? story lines from the season prior. Last night came complete with a “pop up video” like subtitled, semi pithy,  quasi narration. You know when they actually take time to explain it to you complete with inside clues like ” this storyline is a nod to Han Solo saving the day in  Star Wars, which the writers are all fans of” etc, you really actually SEE how convoluted the storyline really is. I swear since season two I just feel like they’re making it up as they go along!. I actually auditioned to be the voice of “Hurley” in the new “Lost” Video game for all the gaming platforms, I didn’t get the part. I probably blew it when I asked if the game would be as convoluted and nonsensical as the series. ”dewd, Im just expressing what I think” That is all, End transmission!

Lingerie Bowl

So, ~I’ve been in NY for nearly a month now and I’m starting to get to know my way around and discover what’s what. Imagine my excitement when I heard about the Lingerie Bowl! And picture my disappointment when I discovered yesterday it was cancelled!

Scwenker is blaming this on me, cos he blames every bad thing on me that’s occured since I arrived here, but IT’S NOT MY FAULT. I couldn’t think of a better way to study the finer points of football (I’m just getting to grips with the rules of the game) other than watching the Lingerie Bowl!

Give Against Me! A Show

Florida band Against Me! are currently out on the road with the Foo Fighters, but since Foo singer Dave Grohl has the flu, the tour has been put on hold for a few days. Against Me! aren’t the type of band to rest on their laurels, so they are looking for some gigs. According to their MySpace page, the guys are looking for some shows, saying, “If you live in OKC, Albuquerque, or Las Vegas (or somewhere on the way to any of those places) and can help us out with a show, any kind of show, drop us a line.” The guys are scheduled to play Reno, Nevada alongside the Foos on Friday night.

Manson Defends His Music

Marilyn Manson is fighting back against criticism that his music influences teenagers to act out on violent urges that leads to tragedies such as the Columbine High School Shooting.

While doing an interview with the Boston Globe about his reunion with good friend, bass player and songwriter Twiggy Ramirez, Manson had this to say ”… we get blamed for every act of violence. They don’t have a Grammy award for school shootings, but I guess I would get one if they did, whether I asked for one or not.”
