Happy 420!

R.I.P. Guru.

To me, Gang Starr has always epitomized the Golden Age of Hip-Hop. You know when you had to have talent and write your own rhymes. When you had to actually work for your music and it had nothing to do with Auto Tune and who you did a remix for or who you were beefing with on Twitter or whatever inane crap is happening now.

To show you how real talents do it, I present Exhibit A: Work and Exhibit B: Mass Appeal

*sigh*






In less distressing news, something rather odd happened to me last week. I was home (yeah, no that could be considered odd as well) but I found myself home in the evening with absolutely nothing on. And I do mean nothing. Except for the premiere of the new Doctor Who. I am not an old Who fan. I am not a new Who fan. Do not attempt to convert me to David Tennant or Rose or Chris Eccleston or Classic Who. I have very strong opinions about Tennant and you'll probably run off in tears.

So imagine my shock when I encountered Eleven. Oh, Matt Smith. Where have you been all my life with your floppy hair and bowties and quirky features that shouldn't work but do anyway? (I told you so [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 ♥)

[livejournal.com profile] issaro says you never forget your first doctor. Now I see what she's talking about. Do not spoil me, I have only seen one episode, but I will actively be looking for more, so hooray for that. And icons. I would be liking icons if someone cared to point me in said direction.






S4 of Mad Men premieres Sunday July 25th. 10pm. AMC. !!!! I've missed you Hotass Girlfriend of Awesome, even though you set the entire issue of Esquire on fire with your brilliance and hotassery






Some genius left their protype fourth generation iPhone in a bar. Oh my god, THE BRILLIANCE. What do you write on your unemployment form when you get fired for this?

Got drunk and left most wanted phone in universe at bar. My bad.






Last night I had a dream about Tony. Not Bob. Tony. Tony who you ask? Tony fucking Stark, people! And you know what that means? That means it's Summer Fandom time. Oh god I love summer fandom time. A chance to shake off the grief and ennui and frustration of fulltime fandoms and just fall in lust love filthy pornographic adoration with something awesome that's totally into public sex.

This has happened with Spider-Man 2. X-2. And the original Iron Man (can we sense a comic book theme here?) and frankly, I am so excited to be moving on.

On May 7th Tony Stark and I are getting it on.

GangStarr was pure brilliance. It's just really sad that Guru's death is now overshadowed by this phony "good-bye letter" that Solar published. It's so ridiculous and petty!

Also, also. I didn't believe for a second that a developer seriously forgot the prototype of the new iPhone at a bar. Apple has long since leaked their stuff on purpose. And that stunt is just too ridiculous. When I heard about it my only thought was: I love that Apple isn't even pretending any more. ;)

*sigh*

It's always some shit with music, isn't it? Always somebody wanting to have the last word.

I dunno about that iPhone thing. I heard Apple's pretty pissed off. And you know, leaving something in a bar is just so... pedestrian it could go either way. It could be the best plant ever or the biggest fuck up in a long time.

Also your icon makes me all happy and tingly. I LOVE YOU SOUTHLAND!
