I love the rain, but not this week. I totally ruined my lovely tan Zara leather loafers running through 3-inch puddles just to get a presentation, and the only good thing I have to say is I’m just glad they weren’t suede (and we all know that suede + rain = fail).

Thank God for pretty little bonuses once in a while, like the rainbow that came out just before the sun set.

Rainbows = win!

But I saw something mildly amusing on last Sunday – a Lifelines Arrows ambulance that had swerved to avoid a flooded gutter, skidded out of control, and flipped over.

I’m sure using the word “amusing” to describe it is possibly a very insensitive and un-Superstar thing to say, but intellectually you need to appreciate the irony.

An ambulance. Getting into an accident.


Fail!

I wish I’d gotten a better shot, but other cars were crowding me so all I could take was this one distant shot of a forlorn little ambulance sitting upside-down on its roof.

And now I am sitting here and I wonder – perhaps the driver had been worrying about getting his suede loafers wet in the rain, too…

Stunning epiphany #10924:

I just realized that I have yet to meet a girl named “Tanya” who wasn’t cute.

And I hope never to meet an ugly “Tanya”. What a waste of a pretty name if the girl wasn’t drop dead bootyliciously gorgeous.

Addendum edit:

The same also holds true for all girls I know with the following names:

1. Nikki
2. Marla
3. Diane
4. Celine

Given the choice, if you were getting married, which theoretical bridal registry set would appeal to you more?

  • Set A: Rustan’s, Play & Display, Dimensione
  • Set B: Fully Booked, Zara, Datablitz

I would so go with Set B, any day of the week. USB drives would overtake toaster ovens as this millennium’s version of overdone wedding presents, and I could imagine a set of Absolute Sin City making a very serviceable coffee table if arranged properly.

I am having a very painful internal debate in my heart.

I cannot pinpoint who among the following is my absolute all-time favorite band of all time.

  1. Guns n’ Roses – These guys made me want to pick up the guitar, and “Welcome to the Jungle” is, in my opinion, the all-time greatest rock song of all time, next only to AC/DC’s “Back in Black”. Plus, what geeky, pimply nerd did not think that Slash’s ability to play the intro riff to “Sweet Child o’ Mine” with his guitar raised behind his head was the most kick-ass thing of 1993?
  2. Radiohead – To date, they’re the only band that can make even the angriest (i.e. “Karma Police”) or saddest (“Fake Plastic Trees”) of songs so sweepingly beautiful? Thom Yorke is a fucking God, in my opinion – if only he wasn’t so goddamn butt-ugly.
  3. The Killers – Their very existence on this list hinges exclusively on one song, “Mr. Brightside”, which was the only song I listened to in the one year or so in between girlfriends that I was single. That makes it one fucking gorgeous song, and the only hit they ever have to have in my life. They could do a rock cover of “Row Row Row Your Boat” and I’d still think they rock.
  4. Mr. Big – “Green-Tinted 60s Mind”. “Take Cover”. “Nothing But Love”. “Just Take My Heart”. “To Be With You”. “Shine”. “Superfantastic”. “Shine”. This is probably the most virtuoso band to make a lasting pop cultural impact (sorry, but Dream Theater, Phish, Van Halen, and the various Vai/Satriani band incarnations don’t count… they’re all strictly niche, in my mind). That’s what you get for having Billy Sheehan AND Paul Gilbert in the same band. Also, Eric Martin is pogi.
  5. The Backstreet Boys – Hardcore. Heart-felt. Pure emotion. Howie-D. Really, no band made a bigger mass impression during the A-boy 1995-1999 years than good old BSB. If you didn’t love “Quit Playing Games”, you were a fucking queer.

MDJ Superstar has horrible taste in music, but at least he’s honest…
