We have to wait 20 min until maintenance buffs out a scratch on the plane’s door. Jiminy Crickets. I saved a little lady hollering for help when she got locked in her bathroom stall. Rocked that shit till the lock popped free. Aggression, grrr. I was all Superman about it. She was all like, “Thank you! Thank you!” and I was all like, “No problem, ma’am,” and I...

The 1st min 20 of this song on the CD literally sounds the way a sunrise should sound if it were audible. So cool, heard it on my way in this AM.

popculturebrain: Trailer: Transformers: Dark of the Moon - July 1st On some level I still find it hard to believe that they made Transformers into a movie in the first place, let alone three. But I do have to admit, the CGI hear is impressive. (via Trailer Addict, /Film) THAT’S what’s up.

I hate to disrespect the elderly, but...

Pat Buchanan is an asshole.

When I’m totally content and at peace it sounds like “Limbo Jazz” in my head. I would share what this sounds like, but it DOESN’T sound like the middle/high school band versions I’m finding online. It TOTALLY sounds like the Duke Ellington and Coleman Hawkins version.

My arrogance...

…in thinking I could do a Tina Turner routine immediately after a James Brown routine on “Just Dance 2”. I literally almost passed out, I could barely grab a water and a nice heave was on its way. I’m so deconditioned, my head hangs down in shame. My God, they performed well into their 60s/70s? Oh shit, damn shame.

lickystickypickyme: What most people don’t know is that Gaga feeds on insecure teens whom she lures into her cave with a shady “I recognize your pain, come play inside and you’ll be my little monster” story. I realized this when I saw her fake crying on some HBO thing circulating the interwebs. Perfect lighting, camera from 2 angles, removing tons of make up and not one smudge? ...
