did i spend 2007 in a cave? trapped in r. kelly's closet? stuck in front of my computer watching tv on the internet? i have yet to catch up on many things, including the new wu tang clan album, david lynch's inland empire, and all of the sopranos. although i got some good laughs out of the movie knocked up, WHY DIDN'T SHE JUST GET AN ABORTION??
and now some things i liked:
hair of the dog - blue dot imperial ipa [drink]
one of my favorite beers is back on top and in bottle!
animal collective - strawberry jam [music - album]
animal collective could probably poop on a stick, and i would still enjoy it.
californication [tv]
my friend recommended this show to me with this description:
"david duchovny plays a struggling writer in l.a. who sleeps with a lot of women and tries to get back with his ex."
yes, the former fox mulder is a fox without his shirt on.
twin peaks - the definitive gold box edition, the complete series [tv on dvd]
it is true that twin peaks has been kicking it since the 90s, but due to property rights issues or something of that nature, the second season has only recently been released on dvd alongside the first. this show is so amazing; i don't even know what to say about it (david lynch, agent cooper, log lady..!).
r. kelly - trapped in the closet: chapters 13-22 [dvd]
the conclusion of r. kelly's rap opera made me hope/fear for more. did you catch the nytimes article about it? they had a pretty amazing diagram of all the characters' relations, interconnections, and incestual ties (it kind of reminded me of college).
beirut - the flying club cup [music - album]
this gypsy-ish music is so pretty and fun to listen to. and this guy is younger than me!
a shot at love with tila tequila [tv]
this mtv dating show begins with tila tequila (famous for having the most myspace friends ever) shocking the contestants by announcing that she is a BISEXUAL! by the way these jocks and lesbians react, you would think that maybe they have spent their years of sexual maturity in a box. things quickly get out of control with cat fights, petty masculine gesturing / punching, heavy petting, anal waxing, etc. plus, you have to love domenico (at least i do), the strange (and strangely attractive) italian man who is set to have his own reality dating show "that's amore!" coming soon.
(note: the next season of <a href="http://www.shotatlovecasting.com/">a shot at love is currently casting</a>)
50 cent - straight to the bank [music - single]
in a way that is perhaps pathetic in regards to my personal character / experience of life, this song is perhaps the one thing in 2007 that has given me the most joy again and again. i often found myself with friends in a non-sober state singing along to the chorus, "ha ha hahaha ha." oh god. so great.
