Hey you guys– Ooh my nose!

No more trying to think up titles for me. I’m just going to use random quotes from TV and old songs. Unless a title comes to me unbidden and then I shall use that. But only if it’s unbidden. If it’s bidden, then I’m totally ignoring it. I’m anti-bidden.

So how’ve you been? Me? Oh, I’ve been doing okay. Yes, I realize it’s been something like six days since I’ve blogged but the truth is, I’ve been… not busy. Seriously, nothing is happening. Well, I mean, things are happening, but not much to blog about. Oh, you thought I’d just shut up then? Seriously, you thought that? Come on now, you should know better!

I’ve been thinking about Jamie Foxx lately. Because, you know, I watch the MuchMusic. I know what’s hip with all the cool kids these days. And so I saw the “Golddigger” video. By that guy. You know. The guy that had the car accident and Pat O’Brien thinks he’s a Survivor and a Real Role Model. Because I care so much about what Pat O’Brien thinks. Uhm. Kanye West? Yeah. Anyway. I’ve been seeing alot of crap around about how Jamie Foxx is a great singer and this song is like, his “breakout” and now everyone is all “Did you hear Jamie Foxx singing with Kanye West? ISN’T HE AN AWESOME SINGER?!”
But
The thing is, he’s just doing his Ray Charles impersonation in that song so he’s not singing, really. Well, okay, he’s SINGING, but not really. I don’t even know if I can say this in a way for it to be understood. The part that Jamie’s singing. It’s a Ray Charles song, with the words changed around, and he’s using his Ray voice from Ray. I have no frickin clue if Jamie Foxx is a good singer. He very well might be, but I’ve never heard him really sing, aside from when he’s been impersonating Ray Charles. I know he’s a great Ray Charles Impersonator, but you can’t rely on that to get you a record deal, can you? Seriously?

Speaking of dead musicians and their biopics — I thoroughly enjoyed Walk The Line. I liked that it stuck pretty closely to the story of Cash’s life (I’m a dork, I’ve read his autobiographies, both of them. Of course it’s been a few years but whatever) although the movie did seem to be making his first wife out to be a total bitch just for the sake of having a bad guy in the film. It was also cool to see Waylon Jennings’ son playing old dead Waylon (no, there were no zombies in this movie although that might’ve spiced up the bits where Joqueeeeeeem was looking kind of uncomfortable in the role). Oh man, I’m totally outing myself as a country fan, aren’t I? Well, just to be clear, I don’t listen to country radio. Because to me most of whatever they’re playing on there ain’t really music. I do, however, root around in my dad’s record collection and rock out with The Hag.

My brother’s family came over this past Sunday. MAN those kids are cute. The oldest (just turned 2) recognizes all his letters (well, most of them, gets mixed up with b’s and d’s, m’s and w’s) when you show them to him. The youngest (nearly 5 months)… well, he just kinda likes laying around right now, trying to grow some hair. Nothing wrong with that.

TWO WEEKS TIL HOUSE TIME! I’m so excited, although we have no furniture really for a three-bedroom house. So we’ll have like, our bedroom furniture, and our guest bedroom will be empty. And our office will have… nothing, because we had to leave our computer desk behind when we moved here. Our kitchen? Same thing, because we had to get rid of our table and chairs. BUT WE WILL HAVE OUR OWN PLACE AND I DON’T GIVE A DAMN IF I HAVE TO EAT OFF THE FLOOOOOOOR!

Speaking of which– on Thursday I’m going to be subbing in a high school. The principal informed me that he was hoping to hire someone after Christmas to take this lady’s maternity leave so this is like my ‘interview’ (holy lord, I haven’t had to interview for a job in years and years). Well that’s great. The teacher herself just called to let me know that she’s not going to leave any plans– I can just do “whatever I want” with them. I wonder– does prescribed naptime count as curricular activity? No? Feh.

Okay that’s enough for now! I hope you missed me! AND HEY WE ARE MOVING OUT OF MY PARENTS’ BASEMENT SOON!
