Today I Learned...

That, despite my best efforts this morning, the volume button on my remote control does not turn off the alarm clock that's going off on the other side of the room.

I'm ready to tell the world.

I bought the latest Kalan Porter CD.

And.

Gulp.

I likes it.

As seen on my brother's Facebook page:

"Hey! Add Poke Pro now so we can do things to each other..."

Stupid, sick facebook add-ons.

You Oughta Know

Just a random observance. I have four versions of You Oughta Know in my iTunes playlist.

Although I quite enjoy this song, the four version fact became rather painfully clear when I sorted my play list alphabetically by song title.

Here are the versions:

1. You Oughta Know - Jagged Little Pill (1995)
2. You Oughta Know (Alternate Version) - Jagged Little Pill (1995)
3. You Oughta Know - MTV Unplugged (1999)
4. You Oughta Know - Jagged Little Pill Acoustic (2005)

There's also three versions of You Learn.

Crazy.

Also another Alanis song. A cover, but still one of her tracks.

I know... I know...

How can I call myself a blogger?! I never post anymore, and when I do it's just some clip or video that I found funny and felt like sharing.

I promise to post more frequently in the coming months. I'm heading to the Philippines for seven weeks this summer. My flight leaves on July 10th, so I'm sure I'll have lots to post about.

The good news is I found a someone to sublet my place for the summer. The better news is that it's a family member, so I don't have to worry about leaving my place in the hands of a complete stranger.

I should head to bed.

More to come.

Desert Rose

This clip is from last week's SNL. The skit starts out kind of slow, however, there's a moment with about 90 seconds left that had me laughing out loud!

Watch the video to find out why Sally O'Malley calls this outfit her Desert Rose.
