lyrics of the day

I rock a lawsuit when I’m going to court
A white suit when I’m gettin’ divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I’m home alone

"I Just Wanna Live"
Good Charlotte

how i'm livin' this week

* in my ears * (aka what i'm listening to):

maroon 5, friday the 13th live (have i mentioned how much i love adam levine? sigh, . . . no disrepect to my fh (future husband) jesse l. martin but adam is just plain yummy. secret/ain't no sunshine is great. and finally a decent copy of wasted years - yea! also dig the cover of oasis' hello. can't wait for a new album!)

my chemical romance, three cheers for sweet revenge (gothic, thrashy, headbanging fun. "i'm not o-fuckin'-kay"! other faves: the ghost of you; i never told you what i do for a living; the jetset life is gonna kill you)

selected songs from hustle & flow ("whoop that trick! get her! whoop that trick!" - poetry, man. pure poetry)

songs from instant star, alexz johnson (sigh, . . . okay, here it goes: i love the n aka noggin during the day. i watched the entire season of this show and could not wait to get the soundtrack and it rocks! alexz has a great voice. songs i love: your eyes, skin, that girl and her cover of garbage's stupid girl)


* before my eyes* (aka what i'm watching):

lost (i've got nuthin' but questions - more questions, actually - but am enjoying the ride. still the best show on tv)

america's next top model (love this show. it is such nonsense but soooooo entertaining. i'm rooting for kayla, nik and bre for the final three)

degrassi: the next generation (i grew up on degrassi junior high and degrassi high. it was real and did not insult kids' intelligence. this spinoff is as real and topical as its predecessors. the new season of tng staredt last week - poor manny. why can't she keep her clothes on?? - and promises to be just as entertaining as the others. "degrassi. it goes there")

general hospital (i used to watch it religiously in high school and eventually gave up soaps altogether several years ago. but one day i was home during the day and watched it just to see what folks were up to and now i'm hooked again - dammit! carly's gone crazy. jason has amnesia. liz was carrying jax and courtney's baby to pay off lucky's hospital bills. and robin scorpio is coming back! i can barely stand it)


* in my hands * (aka what i'm reading):

back issues of entertainment weekly (i love this mag. it makes me so happy every friday)

cinematography by kris malkiewicz (the book i need for film class isn't going to get here until next week so i gotta read something . . .)

pinkisthenewblog.com (unfortunately work blocks the perez hilton site, which is one of my favorites, but trent is awesome as well and has a line on all the sleeze, i mean entertainment news)

am new york (i prefer it over the metro any day of the week and twice on sundays. as free papers go, it gets me through my commute and is pretty decent. well, except for today when it said that the high temperature for today would be 663 degrees. right on the front page. somebody's getting fired . . .)

so what are you digging this week?

holla,
matic

guess who's back in da m/fking house? . . .

hey hey hey. so after a promising start i fell right off the blog. i could make excuses but do you *really* want to hear it? i think not . . . but just for you hardasses out there, all i have to say is that WORK SUCKS!!! damn, where the beepity beep is my sugamama or daddy? ugh . . . and just when work finally calmed down, what happens? DRAMA! at work. someone tell me why? i mean, its fking work, folks. come in, do the work and then get the fk out. that's all that needs to happen. but ohhhhhhhhh no . . . people gotta act like its frickin' melrose place around here. like my friend fussi smurf likes to say, work ain't nothing but high school with a paycheck. snap snap.

so on monday, the boss of my department called a meeting during which she held a 30 minute monologue about the state of relations amongst all of us: so-and-so doesn't like this one; this one won't work with that one; and that one feels like he gets "push back" whenever he asks so-and-so to do something. blah blah blah, whine, whine, whine . . . it makes her sad and she's tired of hearing about it so she brought it up and advised that we either work it out ourselves or she'll have HR work it out for us. egads! really??? so needless to say, things have been pretty tense around here. i wonder if she realizes that things aren't going to be made better by all that. people are more pissed off now. and if so-and-so didn't like that one before, then they REALLY don't like that one now. it will be very interesting to see how things play out moving forward. i'll let you know.

anyway, while i abandoned my blog in practice, i did not ignore it in my head. things would happen and i would think "i've got to put that in my blog!" (ex. an amusing story involving me, frenchie davis, and my friend young david - i'll tell y'all later). what can i say? the spirit was willing but the bod was weak. hee hee . . . here's hoping i will be better at this blogging thing. please stay tuned :)

all apologies,
matic
