Three things that have made me gloriously happy

[hackthis_archive]

1. Harry Potter and some other random people and NEVILLE. It's a skit for the Queen's 80th birthday. I dunno what happens, it has Neville, I care about that. He's totally going to be tres hot geek!boy in another two years.

2. I have been making noises about a young singer named Paolo Nutini for about two months now. 19 years-old. Scottish. Looks a little like Liam Gallagher, if Liam actually had two eyebrows and was fit. He has a voice like a 27 year-old J.D. abusing, 2-pack-a-day, broken hearted man, think like Ray LaMontagne. Paolo's big single right now is 'Last Request'(live). The video is available here via You Tube, and/or his site, which also has various songs for download. And because nobody should make up their minds properly based on one song (unless it's sung by Jeff): Rewind and Million Faces

3. Radiohead make everything better. Based on what I've heard, whenever the new album drops, it will be fucking amazing. If they're in a town near you, go see them. OR. Or you could just watch Season Three Entourage and read about Lloyd -- that makes things a lot better too. OR You could interview with Ari for a Job. I know you all want to play with Ari.

4. The World Cup. Men from 32 countries. Shorts. Legs. Sweat. FOOTBALL. Finally, everyone is on the same page. Joe Cole + Peter Crouch = One Truly Cracked Pairing. Don't even get me started with all the kissing disguised as slobbering, spanking, molesting and other things that they call goal celebration. I call it by its proper name: an ORGY.

ETA: It is all about devotion to your sport, kids. Take the Thai monks who are up all night watching the World Cup, and are then too tired to receive alms the next day, you know, for an example.

Did I tell you I totally played hooky from work yesterday afternoon to go watch the Ukraine match in the local pub with my married bisexual coworker who I have a crush on?

we're going on Friday too.

One of my girlfriends looked at me the other day and said,"You know, Kate - I've resisted watching football for years. But I caught some yesterday, and do you know what I found out?"

"That it's full of gorgeous men with great asses running up and down a field?"

"YES! Why didn't I know this before?!" And I smiled, and pat her on her head and told her that at least she knew now.

Am seriously reconsidering my apathy towards Radiohead - this is the second time this year you have recced music I have been hearing on the radio and thinking "ooh, I like this" (Last time it was Kubb). Grabbed Last Request. Think I prefer These Streets so far though. Thank you.

OMG, lol, what a birthday idea!

Am just listening to that "last Request" song you sent. Lovely. He's exactly like you described him. *sighs*

Football orgies, eh? That's what makes me like watching football. ;) Not that I could hide from it here in Germany... Though it's quite annoying that they always make an advert break when the players just started to take off their shirts *grumbles*
