Friday Five I know, I know. I said I would be doing a Friday Five on Friday's but... well, there hasn't been one posted. So nyah. But hey, at least I made an effort.

Grrrrr I'm soooo pissed. I got up this morning to go to work and someone has fucked up my driver's side door. There's like 3 or 4 dents, and wide, inch-long scrape of white paint on the door. And I'm not talkin' little bitty dents. I'm talkin', someone slammed their car door or something into my car. That took effort. And of course the neighbour who's parking spot that is next to mine totally denies any knowledge of it. I didn't really expect her to go, "yeah, that was me, sorry, I'll take care of it" or anything, heh.

Buzz & Click On Saturday night, Daryl and I went to a local CD release party/live show. One of our friends, Pimpdaddysupreme, was going to be there performing and we wanted to see him. It was a party celebrating the release of the new CD Area 615 on Discrepancy Recordings label. It's a compilation of local electronic musicians. I have to be honest here. Most of the music, and I'm using the term music loosely, that I heard was just not my thing. A lot of it was, to me, just noise. A lot of it was very vague in that it had no discernible beat, or melody. The ambience was rather lacking as well, since most of the "bands" consisted of guys sitting with their laptops and mixer boards hitting buttons. To me, a lot of it was rather boring, or made me want to just fall asleep. The more interesting (not interesting sounding, but interesting in the weird way) was the guy that appeared to be playing a piece of driftwood and springs, and the "band" that played underneath a black tarp, and weren't even on the stage. In my opinion, Pimpdaddysupreme's show was the best one of the bunch. He was definitely interesting to watch, all pimped-out in a bright red satiny suit, with a shimmery black shirt. He was into it. He danced, he talked to the audience, his music was fun. He even rapped about the kids in small towns that have low-riders and listen to bad white boy rap, with snippets of Garth Brooks' "Low Places" mixed in. He even had a hip-hop group from his neighbourhood that he's been producing in his basement do another "country" rap, that was a play on "Sweet Home Alabama"... "Sweet Home Grown Chiba". All in all, it was a fun night. It was cool seeing Pimpdaddy again, and even the music wasn't my thing, I'm still open to experiencing other peoples art.

As The Flame Burns: Episode Next Robert's back. He left Florida to come back to Nashville (because he missed his mommy, and his hag) to be homeless. He didn't know until he got here that his father said he couldn't come back. Charming. He's currently seeking employment, but it will be a moot point after the 20th since then he'll have a warrant out for his arrest because of shit involving Chad. I told you so. We're going to Mulligan's tonight while we still can. Of course, since he's jobless and moneyless, he's making me pay.

For What Does It Profit a Man, If He Shall Gain the Whole World, and Lose His Own Soul? Apparently it would profit this woman about £8262. That was the quote given to me by the good folks at Wewantyoursoul.com. And apparently, 84 percent of people have a purer soul than myself.

Friday Five As a way of... sort of forcing myself to update my blog... I think perhaps I'll start answering the Friday Five. Starting now. Even though the subject of this weeks is something I rambled about not that long ago. Feel free, and in fact, consider yourself encouraged to, answer these yourself in my comments!

1. What vehicle do you drive? A 2003 Chevy Malibu. Much love for it. Of course, it's infinitely better than the PoS I was driving.

2. How long have you had it? A wee bit more than a month.

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle? To me, the CD player. Neither of my two previous cars had CD players. Mmmmm.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle? Okay okay, I know it's silly... but I miss the little reading lights in the front that my last car had. The dome light just doesn't cut it at night. And there's no handles inside above the door. Of course, since most of the time I'm driving, I don't notice it. But Daryl sure does!

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now? I would be chauffered around in a nice limo. And not one of those stupid, annoying SUV limos, pickup truck limos, jeep limos, or Hummer limos. Yuck. But if I were to be driving myself around... I don't know... probably a Corvette. Or something ridiculously expensive and fast! Like a Corvette...
