Superbad and a super band
Wednesday, January 02, 2008
I went back to work today, after a long break. Trust me when I say that it was awful waking up in the morning. I contemplated ponteng-ing work before I remembered that I wasn't in college anymore. In fact, I haven't been a student for over a year. Goddamn, how fast a year goes by. There's no way I can simply NOT go to work because "I didn't feel like it". And a week's leave is probably the longest break I had this year. Unlike my brother, a student, who's been on break since November and resumes semester in freaking March! I hope he appreciates his days of bumming because they are NUMBERED, bro.
But I exaggerate, as usual. Work wasn't that bad since practically no one was around. Only two calls came in and my inbox was so clear! What I would give to have such laidback days all year round. I finally got to watch "Superbad" which deserves all the praise it has received. As far as high school movies go, this one tells an awesome, vulgar tale about the awkwardness of that experience. I loved it. I can't believe I LOLed my head off overs lines like these:
"You scratch our backs, we'll scratch yours."
"Well Jules, the funny thing about my back is that it's located on my cock." *awkward laugh, cringing*
(Yeah I memorized it. ZOMG.)
Adlin and I went to get more DVDs after work, so tomorrow it's between "Fido" (about a domesticated zombie!) and "Everything's Gone Green", which is supposedly Canada's answer to "Garden State".
Work is indeed very stressful right now.

On the music front, my wish for 2008 is for this band to explode into popularity.
The Ting Tings (MySpace) hail from the UK and consist of just two members - Katie (hot as hell, as you can see from the picture) and Jules. Despite their small number, they make music that is huge on hooks and beats. I had one listen of "That's Not My Name" in mid-2007 and could not get enough of it. I'm still listening to it today! Luckily for me, they've released more demos since then to keep me happy until their album drops. But until then, I'm dying to hear their songs played at TAG or something so that I can freakout to it with my friends. Check them out below.
What a long post. Told ya I'll be blogging more regularly ... and long-windedly. ^_^

Just downloaded their song--it makes me wanna go "Hey Mickey you're so fine you blow my mind hey mickey! Hey Mickey!" Awesome clap-happy track.
