How the hell does someone manage to run an aerator through the walls of someone's house? I'm totally baffled. Seven years I've worked in landscaping and I thought I'd seen it all...but no, the idiots we hire are still amazing me with new tricks.

: Nirvana fans VS Miyavi fangirls
So Japanese rock artist Miyavi does a cover of Nirvana's "Blew" on LFX. It gets posted to YouTube.
Fangirls rise out of the woodwork, squeeing with glee and praising Meev on his good English skills. Someone even comments that his lip piercing is making him slur the words (wha?). Ahhh, fangirl logic. But things don't get wanky until the Nirvana fans show up...
Keisatsu starts it off with, "Nice try. Kurt is still better."
Someone wonders why Meev wears 2 hats. Another points out that Japanese people obviously want to be white...because they sing Nirvana songs? Umm, yeah...
And then there is this gem by gokhan1507, "for this kind of situations turkısh people says that hay amina kodugumun salagı..fuck off bitch of a son...PLEASE RESPECT FOR KURT..Respects for KURT from TURKEY." WTF? Kurt was Turkish? He liked turkeys? I dunno.
And of course, there are the cries of "LERN ENGLISH, FOrEign DeVIL!" While fangirls come back with, "He'z JAPANEZE, sTooPID!"
Some Nirvana fans are super pissed about this. "wtf this is fucked up i am realy pissed off how dose some asin think he van coppy one of the greatst bands every and were are the lericks." I'm pretty pissed off at the eye bleedingly bad spelling, myself.
How does William Hung fit into all this again? "I mean, like, it's a decent cover, like, the vocals are definately like, william hung meets enrique iglesias. But the guitar work is original. too bad dude's never heard of dropped-D. lol."
PrepgirlNessa has this to say about the whole English speaking thing: "Who cares if he can speak english well? The lyrics suck anyway... Honestly, 'Here's another word that rhymes with shame?' Do I have to say more? Plus, the original is crap. Slow and boring. Miyavi's fast version is better, and his accented voice is amazing sexy. Rock on MYV"
Someone else weighs in on Kurt and his band: " if kurt played like this I would understand why his band is so popular............."
And someone else ponders Meev's two hats: "when a japanese guy wearing two hats covers nirvana in all seriousness .. isn't it time for amageddon or something?" Is two hats so wrong? I've seen stranger things from say, Marylin Manson...
Anyway...not all is lost. A few Nirvana fans are pretty impressed with Miyavi's mad guitar skills. He gets some kudos for playing the song, though his singing sucks.
"he's clearly not good at english but that doesn't make him a crappy musician...he hits the guitar strings like he's playing a drumkit, such a cool technique."
"The guy has great rhythm, good tone... fuck it if he doesn't know the lyrics!"
"LOOK AT HIM FUCKING HAMMER THAT FUCKING THING!!! hes an awesome guitarist but he's screwing up the words and his singing sin't very good, but it was worth watching the video to see him play guitar"
So I guess not all hope is lost. Maybe one day Miyavi fans and Nirvana fans will meet across the rainbow and embrace their love of music, bad english and all. As for me, I've never paid much attention to Nirvana, so I decided to check out the original. Needless to say, I was actually more impressed with Meev's cover after watching it. Good song, but I honestly couldn't understand Kurt Cobain any better than Miyavi. Am I going to hell for that?

Finished it today. I thought it was a ton of fun. Not spectacular, but entertaining. I'll probably give it another run through later, just to pick up all the things I missed during my first try.
Even better, with anything labeled Final Fantasy, there comes gobs of wank. Fanbois crying rivers of tears because SE made a shooter game is always good for a few chuckles.

In a Fox News article, Pamela Anderson was asked how she and Kid Rock were dealing with their upcoming nuptials (getting married in 4 cities).
Her reply:
"I've got two words for you: champagne."

: Chic-lit is EVIL!
So last night I finished up "The Devil Wears Prada". I wouldn't call it a literary disaster or anything, but I did find it slow and sometimes completely boring. More often than not I found myself skimming to the parts where there was interaction between Andy, Miranda, and Emily. It was an ok book, but nothing I plan on re-reading again. In fact, it's sitting in my "Donate to Library" pile right now.
But I digress...
An avid reader of reviews, I started tootling around on the web reading what other people thought about the book. Luck would have it, I stumbled on this site. Being a bitchy person myself, I felt I'd hit the jackpot! And I had -- with minor bonus wank about the book I'd just finished!
It starts with the innocent comments made in the review:
I mean, c’mon: What self-respecting critic would choose to read a novel of the chick-lit variety without the intention to belittle and scoff?
Some people take issue with the writers unsympathetic stance on womens issues...or something...
( Sexist Jerks!!!!111eleventy )
Others agree that books for women are idiotic, condensending, and pretty much utter crap---most of them, anyway.
( Women's Writing = stupid drivel )
The critic starts to defend himself, but gives up only after two posts.
( The Critic Responds )
Since gays were mentioned, someone has to jump in and defend them. From what, I'm still not sure of, but that's ok.
( Don't Pick on Gay Stereotypes! )
I was beginning to wonder when the crazy would start oozing out. It took awhile, but it didn't disappoint.
( And Craziest Comment goes to...It's a TIE! )
This person deserves many cookies. Or K-Y. Not sure which they'd prefer. Maybe both.
( The Most Ultimate Words of Wisdom )
There's interesting discussion going on with wee bits of wank peeking through here and there. Entertaining enough for a Sunday afternoon.

: Random whining
It's too damn hot today. 108 degrees and still rising. I don't think it would make me so cranky if it was just one day, but yesterday it was 105, tomorrow it's supposed to be 110, and through Tuesday the temps will hover around the 105 mark.
Damn you Mother Nature! Damn you air conditioner which chose to die yesterday! Damn you Shopko for not having fans on sale!
*shakes fist at world*

: Jesus Christ: The Musical wankage!
Found this on You Tube: Jesus Christ dancing in the
street to "I Will Survive". The video is supposed to bring the funny
(personally, I thought it was hysterical), but it spikes a war of splooge between
Christians and atheists.
( Queue the Bible Quoting )
( American ownz the Intrawebz! )
( I'm offended you're offended )
( How dare you! )
Over 1400 comments and counting...many speculating if Jesus really
died in traffic. Probably old news, since it's been out there
since January, but I tend to miss things. :(

: Option Button, moron...
I love reading reviews of things online. I recently watched "Dark Water", an unimpressive film directed by Hideo Nakata. Curious if others shared my opinion of the movie, I went to the review section of Netfix and began to read. There, I ran across this gem:
When I rent a foreign film, I expect to be reading subtitles. However, in this version there are no subtitles. Instead, the American version utilizes American voice overs. I found it incredibly distracting to be watching an asian film with the characters speaking perfect english without accents. This irritated me so much that I turned the movie off.
Someone's DVD-fu is weak. Very weak indeed.

I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean today. I had a silly notion that since it was Friday and I'm on vacation, I could beat the crowds and catch the first showing when the doors opened at the theater.
Silly me, forgetting it's summer and all.
Sadly, I returned home because I hate people and crowds (yes, that much). I will try again Sunday.
