I told you this wasn't going to be important.

1. I ID’d a woman whose last name was Looza today at work. I chuckled to myself. I could just hear Adam Sandler taunting her: “Hey there Mrs. Looza. Is that your Looza husband? I think I can see your Looza kids over there. Look at you guys! Your family is a bunch of Loozas!”

2. Jamie Cullum: “I’m an expert on Shakespeare and that’s a hell of a lot, but the world don’t need scholars as much as I thought.” –Twentysomething

3. Kanye West: laughable and hilarious, at best. Ridiculous and not well-spoken, on the other side of the spectrum. Kanye looks like an pouty, angry and nervous eight year-old, forced to give a speech in front of his 2nd grade class that he was practicing all night at his grandma's house the night before. Mike Meyers looks like he's about to vomit, and after he finishes the teleprompted message of "...the destruction of the spirit of the people of Southern Louisiana and Mississippi may end up being the most tragic loss of all," Kanye chimes in with his Peter Griffin-like brilliance in perfect monotone, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." At first I only read what was said, and was initially confused that he would actually say that on live TV. But after I actually saw the clip I was laughing, a lot. The whole exchange was just too damn cartoonish for it to be real. But lo and behold, both Kanye and his unbridled eloquence were for real.

And on a lesser note, his new CD is halfway decent but he needs to write a song that doesn’t use a sample for God’s sake. I do jam out to “Touch the Sky” in my car but I only have the CD because of Jon Brion’s co-production, like Conlan.

4. This makes me laugh.



5. I have a really difficult time finding sunglasses that fit my head properly. This is either because a) my head is malformed, b) specifically, my ears are not aligned with each other, c) I’m too cheap to buy expensive glasses that could possibly fit my head because they’re designed to do so, or d) the only glasses that would fit my head are ugly, so I don’t buy them. My last pair were a little cockeyed but I liked the design, so I just tilted my head at times to counteract the unevenness.
