I'm back

Quick little bits that have been bugging me lo these past couple of months

-So I saw "Stranger Than Fiction" over the weekend, the movie about a guy who realizes he's a character in a novel. Which sounds like a cool idea, actually, although I'm a little bummed somebody didn't write me as Harry Potter.

-For what seemed like the first time ever, Freebird beat out Stairway to Heaven for #1 Rock Song of all Time. I could get all Chuck Klosterman on it, about how it Stairway represents the kind of idea that there's a perfect ideal out there which no longer exists thanks to six years of Bush and Freebird represents our desire to get the hell out, but I won't.

-Now out in public situations, the idea of farting out loud is pretty much frowned on, especially in a work environment. But when you go into the men's room and as everyone's standing around the urinals, it's pretty much okay to far away like you've never farted before. So why is it, then, that farting isn't okay if you're around a group of people outside of the bathroom, but pefectly okay if you're in the bathroom? Shouldn't the same rules apply or is it pretty much accepted that all bets are off whenever you enter the men's room?

-I can't believe it took me this long to do, but I know feel that my iTunes library is complete-- I downloaded some Elvis tunes. Because we all need a little King in our lives. And speaking of which, part of the fun of "In the Ghetto" is because in listening to the song, it's totally obvious that fat, jumpsuited, drug-laden Elvis is totally down with what was going down in the ghetto.
