So, who enjoyed their short week?

I have to make the half-shameful admission that the highlight of my TV-viewing experience this week wasn’t a kdrama for once (meh, they’re so boring right now) but the return of So You Think You Can Dance. I wasn’t even aware it was coming back till it popped up on the ol’ Tivo. It’s OMG so in-your-face cornball and unabashedly cheesetastic. Cat Deeley is adorable — she’s the perfect cheesy-reality-show host: enthusiastic and never condescending of the material no matter how low it sinks. (And boy, does it sink pretty low sometimes.) Although it’s a show, like Top Model, that you really can’t watch without the fast-forward button at the ready.

SONG OF THE DAY

City and Colour - “Save Your Scissors.” You haven’t really heard this song till you blast it over headphones. Seriously, it’s a different experience altogether — like you’re floating in an ocean of harmonies. [ Download ]

Well, I’ve been sick all week. (You know what the downside of being really healthy is? All your medicine is expired.) Bleh. Alls I know is, I’d better be back in fine drinking form by Memorial Day.

Holiday weekend plans, anyone?

SONG OF THE DAY

Madeleine Peyroux - “Dance Me to the End of Love” [ Download ]

I pretty much feel this every time an Open Thread rolls around, but thank god it’s Friday, yeah?

Have you entered my free Oldfish CD giveaway yet? I’ll be closing the giveaway in a few hours — noon PST, to be exact — so I can pick winners and get those posted.

So while I do that, go on and talk amongst yourselves. ;)

Been so busy with work and such that I’m totally behind on the news. At this point I think I know more about the Korean entertainment sphere than my local news. This must be rectified. (Or must it?)

I wish I could freeze time. Remember that ’80s TV show Out of This World, where half-alien teenager Evie could freeze time by touching her index fingers together? I used to do that ALL THE TIME, desperately hoping that if I wished hard enough, it could happen. See, that’s what happens when you’re taught the American dream (”try hard enough and you can achieve anything!”) since practically birth. Somebody should have clarified that magical woo-woo items didn’t apply.

SONG OF THE DAY

Aimee Mann - “One.” By far my favorite rendition of this song. [ Download ]
