Easy Money

Showed up at 2:45pm today for work, low and behold; no shows until 11pm. That's right, college football has cancelled out the 5:30 and 6:30. So the first couple of hours I have spent looking at movie stuff and BS. Here are a couple of juicy yum yums:

Vin Diesel may be the new Terminator

I am not sure what I think about this... Vin can play a badass as we all know. But the Terminator? The biggest badass to ever be a badass? If he shows absolutely no emotion and pulls off that robotic vocal inflection I may down for it. But Arnold is more of a throw you through a wall bad guy, Vin is like a karate chop bad guy...

This makes me want to crap my pants. Iron Man! Does that not look cool? Need more enticing? Watch the trailer. I have become a freak for movie blogs.

I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go...
