How to make a beat. If you happen to have an MPC lying around. This is akin to the time Glenn showed me how to c-walk (or sea-walk if you ask Jason). “1) Stand with your feet a little bit apart. 2) Then do this:” And then Glenn started c-walking. Lesson over.

NBC Heroes trailer. Jess is finally getting his big break. Hopefully. This show looks more promising than any other shows he’s been on, especially considering the popularity of comic-based shows and movies in recent years.

Snakes on a Plane
I saw it last week and forgot to say anything about it. Well, here’s the summary that’s akin to nearly everything else anyone has said: if you want to see the movie, you’ll enjoy it. Just make sure to watch it with others. There are plenty of accounts of opening weekend crowds hissing at the screen during snake attacks, and that sounds fairly awesome to me.
Music
Lupe Fiasco’s upcoming album cover. Word? Somewhere, somehow, someone saw this cover and it triggered memories of the first issue of Dazzler. Anyway, the point is the cover is terrible. I’m having trouble understanding all the random gadgets and the lack of a skateboard. At least Ludacris’ had chicken and beer on the cover of Chicken ‘n’ Beer. Finally, I feel like the beer goggles are on when reading the text; I can hardly make out the words and I know what it says. And I probably just misused a semicolon.
I just downloaded a file labeled Lil’ Wayne and Santana. For whatever reason, I thought it was Carlos Santana as opposed to Juelz Santana.
There’s a mash-up album of Biggie and Gnarls Barkley that’s worth a listen. It’s not too hard to find.
Here’s a shirt I’m a fan of but probably won’t buy. Unlike Wu Tang (I got real close to ordering the Wu Members shirt), I actually listen to AZ regularly so I wouldn’t feel like such a poser wearing this. Well, except for the “stay hood stack chips” sort of stuff, especially “get dipped” because I’m not entirely sure what that means.
The title means something
I started this post the day that I dropped my brother off at the airport. One of the least fun things in life is dropping your friends off at the airport knowing they’re about to have the time of their lives. Even worse is going to work immediately after, but I don’t know much about that. Me and some of the guys that didn’t go to Vegas tried to recreate the experience at a local casino. We probably ended up losing more money gambling than the guys did at Vegas.
Prison Break
Paul told me you can’t stop watching because of the cliffhangers. That’s no lie. I watched 12 episodes Friday, 2 Saturday, and the final 8 on Sunday. Then I found out the second season started up to begin Fox’s Fall. Highlight for spoilers.
I really don’t see how the show is going to be longer than two seasons. A second season already seemed like a bit of a stretch, but now I can see where it’s going. But then what? Well, Fox, let me answer that for you. Some of the inmates get caught, go back to Fox River, create a new group, plan and execute a new escape, get hunted down, rinse and repeat every two seasons. The show can go on forever.
Ok, Michael’s supposed to be a genius. Could he really not think of better outfits? At least get Lincoln to wash the blood off his face and fasten more than the bottom two buttons on his shirt.
Ces answers a question from Men’s Health
I suggest shopping at ‘The Store for Beautiful People’.
Miscellaneous
Holy cow Dictionary.com changed its layout. I use the site at least five times a day. Something was comforting about the old design. Maybe because it reminded me of high school.
And holy cow #2 I just found out the Mallrats guy’s Name is Earl.
Agenda for tomorrow: commend my friends for their increased maturity after the last display.

Stranger than Fiction trailer. “An aspiring writer finds a typewriter that makes everything written come true.” That was from the wikipedia description of Are You Afraid of the Dark: The Tale of the Dream Machine. Anyway, the movie looks good.
