It's (almost) the first of the month
Dude, must pay rent tomorrow. I hate bills.
If you've been with me for a while, you know I always have kind of insane things happen, particularly in the bathroom. Yesterday this happened. So I'm sitting there, doing my thing. I got kind of bored, so I bust out my phone and start playing Tetris. Then I realize I've been in there for like ten minutes. But I didn't realize this until some other guy had come on. And proceeded to take either the longest piss ever or wash his entire body in the sink. So I'm just sitting there, waiting to leave.
I had been in there a while, so I knew it was time to go. So washer/long piss man's doing his thing, and this other guy comes in and they start chatting it up. Meanwhile, I realize there might be a faint hint of an odor in the bathroom, and there's only one person who it can be attributed to. Realizing this, I figure it would be best to just stay in the stall until those folks leave.
So then one of them leaves, and another guy comes in. And whoever else is left begins talking. Ugh. I need to get out of here! Why did I decide it'd be cool to play Tetris in the bathroom!? At this point, I'm like, we all take shits. I have to leave now. Oh, the guy at the urinal apparently is super regular, as was his friend. They talked about how they only ever see each other in the bathroom, even when they are on leave. Do they not realize how weird that is? This coming from take-a- shit-tris man.
I end up leaving, but not without feeling a little weird. Tetris is seriously one of the most insane games, ever.
Anyway, there was this one song that was featured in a ton of the spring fashion shows that's super catchy and I just found out what it is, Peter Bjorn & John, "Young People." You must get it. Oh, and Eight Legs' "These Grey Days". Those are getting major play here with me.

I'm pretty sure a rhinocerous is dying outside my apartment.
Or the asshole below me has done something weird to his entirely too fucking loud stereo that was vibrating my table this morning (he sometimes like to having a party at 8am, too...at least his music is). If he weren't so serial-killer-like, I would say something. He, and the rhinocerous, kind of scare me.

Not so dirrty.
I just finished watching Courtney Cox-Arquette’s new show, “Dirt.” It kind of sucks. The premise is cool: the behind-the-scenes of a tabloid. For some reason, I think with this comes the expectation that Lucy Spiller, CCA’s character, should be a kind of bitch. The fact that she wasn’t left me kind of uncomfortable—aren’t tabloid editors supposed to be cutthroat and evil? One of the celebs she used as a source was involved in a car accident, and Lucy was crying. This is not evil! Why wasn’t she pushing to the front of the crime scene like we would expect a paparazzo to do? Aren’t they sick, sad people?
Perhaps Lucy is not supposed to be one of those creepy guys we saw on all those E shows about celebrities gone bad with paparazzi. As the editor of the magazine, I think all the real dirty work is left for the actual photographers. Here, the only photog we see is a truly creepy man—his creepiness is associated with his mild case of schizophrenia. So that’s why all the paparazzi are insane, mental illness? I read in another review of this show that this guy’s storyline was the only thing driving the show. I think it only added to the list of questions!
And, um, why was everything black or red? If you’re going to use devil colors, let that bitch be evil! I don’t think Satan cries every time somebody dies! We have this assumption, and one that I am not yet able to let go of, that the folks behind tabloids are in fact soulless, but Lucy and even the schizo-photographer seem to be, well, not. They are certainly not soulful, as evidenced by the photographer’s setting up of the sad out-of-work-I-am-only-at-this-premiere-because-my-girlfriend-is-in-the-movie actor to get him pissed to get his enraged-self on camera. I am so confused by this show!
I don’t know if I don’t like it, but right now, I know I don’t quite like it yet. Should I waste another hour and watch next week’s episode? Part of me expects CCA to pull a Monica and mess everything up, which would kind of make me happy because the Friends CCA was a bit neurotic and crazy—something that Dirt CCA is missing. Get crazy, or be the tabloid with a heart. The show needs to choose one because I can’t keep asking questions every week. I need answers!
I must saw, however, that Courtney is looking mighty fine in this first episode. Wow.

Best of Oh Six
I started doing the whole list thing earlier today, and then I kind of forgot about it. The music lists are complete. The other...not so much! Check out what I have. Since it's now officially 2007, I don't think finishing this makes much sense. Yeah for a new year!
My Favorite Albums of 2006:
- Arctic Monkeys “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not”
- Beyonce “B-Day”
- Danity Kane “Danity Kane”
- The Fray “How To Save A Life”
- Jamie Lidell “Multiply”
- John Mayer “Continuum”
- Junior Boys “So This Is Goodbye”
- Justin Timberlake “Future Sex/Love Sound”
- Marie Antoinette soundtrack
My Favorite Tracks of 2006:
- Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. “My Love”
- Ciara “Promise”
- Diddy feat. Keyshia Cole “Last Night”
- Monica feat. Swizz Beats “Raw”
- Beyonce “Get Me Bodied”
- Amerie “Lose Control”
- Yung Joc “It’s Goin Down”
- Cassie “Me & U”
- T.I. “Why You Wanna”
- Janet feat. Khia “So Excited”
- Clipse “Mr. Me Too”
- Junior Boys “In The Morning”
- Dixie Chicks “Easy Silence”
- The Fray “All At Once”
- Corrine Bailey Rae “Like A Star”
My Favorite Things of 2006:
- Rockstar Juiced
- Coke C2
- Thomas Rochon “Culture Moves”
- Tower’s going out of business sale
- Grey’s Anatomy
- Ugly Betty
As it turns out, I like many rock albums and many hip-hop/r&b singles. Never really rock singles or hip-hop albums. If you were to buy one album from 2006, let it be Justin Timberlake's. I think I wrote earlier this fall about it. It really is that good. Ok, and if not his, John Mayer's. Actually, I recommend Mayer's first album, "Room For Squares". And honestly, that one got much more play this year. But because I was trying to be all 2006 about it, I didn't feel like something released years ago counted.
Here's to making this year better than last. And not spending New Year's watching freaky movies ("The Talented Mr. Ripley" is weird...I don't know how I feel about it). I also hope to have more time for fully developed stories of funny shit that happens. But, even short little bursts of bulletedness are nice (and they are also efficient for everyone!). Ok, I'm going to go sit around some more. Shout-out to all the new folks checking this out--yeah Brazil and Iran!
