i hate rap. it’s just not my thing. however, this video featuring my fantasy boyfriend, zach galifianakis, makes me laugh so hard i pee a little. the song is by kanye west but surprisingly doesn’t mention anything about president bush. i would recommend letting the entire video load before watching it.

i’ll be over here giggling if you need me.

this weekend is already shaping up to be something spectacular. george from speakeasy sent me a message letting me know that joshua english will be at the bar friday night. now if you haven’t heard of josh english then a. you’re stupid and need to throw yourself into oncoming traffic, or b. let me enlighten you. either way you are in for a hit to the heart.

josh english began his modest career with the band six going on seven in boston, mass. the josh english then is not the josh english now. back in 1997 his voice was raw, covered in gravel, and made you want to grab the girl at the end of the bar at take her home if only for a brief one night stand (see Sexy Like The Titanic). the josh english of today is a little more subdued but still as soulful. he’s more rock-a-billy than emo. i’ve had a listen to a few of his songs off his new album “trouble none” and i was blown away. it’s simple and divine. it’ll make you wish you knew all the words to the songs. it’ll make you want to climb in your car and drive and drive and drive.

go take a listen to him at his myspace page: myspace.com/joshuaenglish or better yet, go to speakeasy on friday night and check him out yourself.

you won’t be disappointed. and if you are, then you have no musical taste and i can no longer associate with you.

fun things i did this weekend in no particular order:

• heard a secret about myself. learned that my actions can be misconstrued to portray something very ugly.
• got called out by my best friend. realized that i am a shitty friend and will now make a concerted effort to change that.
• although i drank at a birthday party on saturday i found out my “limit” and promptly went home before i could reek havoc on the birmingham metro area.
• went to a fairly new club called twist n’ shout. performed well by not killing every single asshat in the joint.
• played with minnesota’s iPhone. found myself wanting.
• recorded American Psycho, The Devil Wears Prada, and Fantastic Four on my dvr. watched all three atleast twice.

fun things that i will do this week:

• see harry potter and the order of the phoenix at imax.
• annual ob/gyn appointment. i promise not to make the technician uncomfortable by making galaga jokes.
• attend Rock The Town Red at Bottletree to benefit Birmingham Aids Outreach

good times.
