Why can't I get these things published on time?
Sopranos - Cold Stones - I liked Carmella going to Paris and realizing how old it was. I'm sure there was something else I was supposed to get from that part of the story, but I didn't. I've been seeing it coming for a few weeks now, but you can see that AJ is going to at least dabble in joining the mob in the next episode and/or next season. I liked it when they killed the guy. Yeah, cop-out I know when talking about The Sopranos, but I still did.
Desperate Housewives - Remember - Season Finale. It was a good finale to an ok at best year. Good stories, tied up the few loose threads there were and started some new storylines for the next season. Basically everything you want in a finale.
SNL - Kevin Spacey/Nelly Furtado - Fast-forwarded through the Nelly Futado stuff, because I don't care. Most of the skits weren't very funny, but Kevin Spacey was pretty good and I liked his monologue. Anderson Cooper 360 was good, Assholes as a Crime Scene was ok. Oprah's Legend Ball sucked, Carol! sucked, Fun with Real Audio sucked. Kevin and Any Backstage was ok if you've seen The Usual Suspects. The Falconer wasn't good. Andy Walking was funny. Lord Phillip Sarc was ok. and I Do Not Agree with Many of This Administration Policies went on way to long.
**** Book Reviews ****
The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown - Ok, I cheated because this second time through I only read some of it but listened to most of it in audio-book form. This book isn't going to win any literary awards, but it's a very fun piece of fiction, akin to National Treasure in the movie world. I'm really interested in seeing what the movie's like.
**** Music Reviews ****
Various Artists - Over the Hedge Soundtrack - I bought this because of the 5 or 6 songs on it that are Ben Folds. I probably should've gotten them from iTunes instead of buying the whole CD but I'm so anti-DRM that I hate buying from iTunes. The Ben Folds songs are good, the others are "pretty" but not something I'd listen to. Theres no words :) Hrmm, a "clean" version of Rockin' The Suburbs, with William Shatner. Interesting.
Less Than Jake - In with the Out Crowd - Solid pop-ska-punkish album from a band that has released a ton of records over the years. Back in college, I used to have 'em all, but that was back when I wasn't buying music and just "acquiring." This is their new CD and was worth the purchase for me, it will go on my iPod. And any of you who read my reviews will realize that I need a new (or second:)) ipod to hold all this shit. I will say, however, that this album contains nothing you haven't heard before, if you like Less than Jake and/or this style of music.
