How Embarrassing...

OK, people are starting to recognize me so I'll just throw the pict in question up on my own blog:

I admit, when the album first came out I was a bit chagrinned to say the least.  However I am such a fan of the music, I decided I could let it slide.  

I think you'll agree.

It Got Champagne In It!

This makes most things OK.  This and the unprecedented apology on "Flashing Lights" live.

Don't Worry, I'm Still In Top Physical Condition

I have had a tough time while recovering from my wisdom teeth extraction procedure. Not only am I limited in what I eat (mediterranean cheese style yogurt from Trader Joe's and tofu curry), but I've been exceptionally unsteady. For example, today in the shower that I turned off only the cold water instead of both hot and cold knobs and scalded myself. Then I jumped onto the ledge of the bathtub instead of jumping out of the bathtub and jammed my right middle toe on the sliding shower door. Both painful injuries and both due to my post wisdom teeth extraction procedure unsteadiness.
If it wasn't for the exercise program that was carefully researched and designed by Mary Ann Wilson, RN, and a team of physical therapists, doctors, and exercise specialists, who knows what could have befallen me.


I also need those shorts. Bday gift anyone??

The main thing I love about Yeezy, as he sometimes calls himself, is his uncommon love of lasers.  Lasers are something that don't get nearly enough recognition but he really appreciates them.  I can tell.

I also love his now-characteristic outbursts like  most recently on VH1 Storytellers:

"Can we give Chris [Brown] a break?...I know I make mistakes in life"  One thing that was not a mistake was this Sesame Street cameo:

Do you see Elmo hitting that sh**? No pun intended.

Lather Up!

On Yo Gabba Gabba

Musical Theater 2.0

Even though reviewers trashed this movie, a certain panda you may know of just watched and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Sure it's often uncomfortably cheesy and gives only a cursory glance to the timeline surrounding the music.  Yes, it's plot was weak and love story fairly contrived.  But certain elements made it seem more like a long music video (á la Help! or A Hard Days Night) than a weird quasi-musical and that's what makes it rad instead of ridiculous.  To be fair, you must admit to liking a certain element of corniness.  If you can't you must stop reading now and stop lying to yourself.  Oh, you're still here?  After all, didn't Moulin Rouge! get nominated for some Oscars?  Of course some would argue that Oscars mean little these days, but they recognize some good things, don't they?  Don't they?

Since this panda refuses to view the movie as a full-length feature film however, she has no qualms about recommending it to you, to be taken with a grain of salt.  Like any good, or let's be honest, great band like the Beatles, there are bound to be songs we dislike or even—gasp!—hate.  So too, has this feature-length-performance-of-the-musical-genre-that-is-not-a-movie.  Some parts must be skipped.  Don't worry, I've culled the best two numbers for your enjoyment:

The Uncle Sam coming to life at the beginning is not the best part, but what's not to love about the boxes full of scary screening processes?

Bono sucks as usual but Eddie Izzard is on point here despite what you may say, Stephen Holden!
