#40 - LIST FRIDAY, Untitled Edition

Wouldn't it be funny if I made a List Friday that didn't actually have a list. I could call it "LIST FRIDAY - Listless Edition". That is not as funny written out as it is in my head. Oh well.

Songs of the Week

• Puttin' On the Ritz - Taco (especially the "supa dupa" part)
• Birthday - Junior Boys (addictive!)
• Nashville Parthenon - Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
• Civil Twilight - The Weakerthans
• You Got the Style - Athlete
• Something Pretty - Patrick Park (which, three years later, still reminds me of reading the beginning of Hey Nostradamus in the backseat of a van driving home from Cypress Hills)
• Duke of Gloucester - The Foxymorons (excellent buh-buhs)
  

Some Random Book/TV/Movie Related Thoughts

• I finished reading a non-school related novel yesterday! This is both a good thing and a bad thing. One one hand it is excellent because the book is a week overdue from the library, on the other hand I haven't done homework in two days.
• The are making Nick and Norah's Infinte Playlist (Cohn/Levithan co-authored YA excellence!) into a movie with Michael Cera! Do you see how this is two awesome things being combined in to one enormously awesome thing? Do you?**
• My support for the writers' strike and my love for new television are fighting a war in my brain. So far the writers (and my conscience) are winning, but I could turn at any minute...
• I have watched an entire season of Our Hero (which you have never heard of unless you were watching a lot of CBC after school programming in the year 2001, which I was) so far this weekend and it is so good. Also, trivia!: The actor who plays Ross on Our Hero is now the drummer for Broken Social Scene. Strange, no? I think he has a big beard now.
  

I still have not done my Christmas edition, not because I have forgotten but because Christmas is a big deal requiring attention and planning my brain is not capable of at the moment.






*Mainly off the playlist Buddha vs. Jesus that I made for cramming for my Religious Studies midterm. Nine hours straight of religion is tough, my friends, but these songs, as well as some post-Zoroastrianism, pre-Judaism cheesecake got me through it.

**It seems that I have gotten a little carried away with the italics, sorry.
