I am pretty sure he meant this dog.

Dude, this clinches it. I am not crazy for liking Michael Jackson. Just because he’s a freak, that doesn’t mean he can’t make good music.

Hopefully soon, I’ll be able to buy more clothes from this lady, but for now, my beer wench costume will have to suffice.

I finally made it to payday, with a few cents to spare. I’m really not sure how I did it, besides not pooping at home and eating lots of cafeteria food off the clock. Seriously, Augusts suck. Car registration, licensure, and various other annual fees come up in August. Plus the wedding. And whatever else. I don’t think I’ve blown serious cash in a while, and I’m resisting the urge to do so now. I went to the grocery store after work tonight and got some foods for this weekend, because I plan on staying home and cleaning, and splurged on some eel rolls. $6.50 ain’t bad, and they’re pretty tasty, too. Not as good as Ichiban, of course, but not bad.

I’ve been spending a lot of time in Cardiology lately, and appreciating it. It’s an entirely different environment down there. In ways it’s more political, but in a lot of ways it’s less so. I can go down there, take care of my patients, and rock out. We spent one day listening to the radio discussing which would be the best songs to karaoke to. Another day I mentioned the link I posted that gives the Billboard hit for your birth day, and I got to hear about all the awesome concerts my supervisor down there had been to. Seriously, I was born in the wrong decade. I also wish that I’d listened to more music growing up. I also wish my parents had listened to more music, so they would have exposed me to more of it. But I’m catching up now. Or trying to.

But my cheesy pop kick reminds me of a link that I must have posted a long time ago, but I am going to repost in case I was negligent. Because seriously. This. Is. Awesome.

I present to you: Yacht Rock!

Yacht Rock, Episode 1: What a Fool Believes

A friend of mine decided it would be hilarious if we all posted videos to the songs that were #1 according to Billboard charts on the day we were born. Little did she know that the song that was awesome on the day I was born is STILL AWESOEM.

About a thousand years ago, Ian wrote a post about daydreaming and dishes, and I’ve never forgotten it. They’re two activities that go very well together, and whenever I do either, I think of that post.

Today while I was washing dishes, I was rocking out and a couple songs came on that reminded me of when I first started watching music videos.

I know I’ve said it before, that I’m terrible at deciphering lyrics. I just found this Sean Paul interpretation, and that reminded me of the Fall Out Boy one I found a year or seven ago.

I was going to embed them, but it looks like crap. I’m all about things not looking like crap. LINKING TIME. Watch them, though, because they are funny.

Sean Paul  – Temperature

Fall Out Boy – Dance, Dance

Reggie Watts might be the most entertaining person I’ve seen all day.

The thing about iTunes is, I’ve been using it for so long that I have become completely dependent on it. I’ve spent hours — probably days, even — playlisting and rating my songs. I don’t want to lose those if I switch to another jukebox program, even one as awesome as foobar.

Of course, I could be smart about it and see if anyone else had this problem …

Apocalyptica – Quutamo

StumbleUpon is great for reminding me of music (or anything, really) that I liked several years ago and completely forgot about.
