David Bowie

September 14th, 2007 by Nate

David Bowie is fast becoming one of my favorite washed-up musicians…

This clip is from “Flight of the Conchords” on HBO. Funny show, hilarious clip. I’ve been quoting this for weeks.

This clip is from Ricky Gervais’s latest brilliant endeavor, “Extras” on BBC. The chorus is catchy. A little too catchy… (Warning. some language.)

What Your Car Says About You…

September 4th, 2007 by Nate

My aunt sent me an article from MSN Dating a little while ago called On The Road To Love that talked about what your car says about you as a lover. This is what the article had to say about drivers of little red (or yellow) convertibles:

What the car says about its owner: While it’s easy to assume
that the owner of a shiny convertible is either flashy or going through
a midlife crisis, Dr. Orbuch suggests otherwise: “Someone who drives
this kind of car has two sides, each of which is revealed depending on
the setting.” She says its driver can have a shy streak (a sexy car is
akin to a conversation-starter), but in general (and especially in
relationships) this person is an alpha-type.

What the car says about its owner’s love style: The
convertible’s driver likes to lead a stylish life—so his or her mate
had better appreciate that flair, too. What’s more, Dr. Orbuch
observes, “someone who is social, outgoing and extremely comfortable
with others is a good fit. If you’re the driver, you will have no
problem if your mate is magnetically charismatic, just as long as he or
she can loop arms and feel safe while you do the shining.”

So what do you think? Accurate? The cars that are covered in the article are:

  • A fully loaded SUV
  • A red (yellow) convertible
  • A station wagon
  • A Honda Accord or other sensible sedan
  • A Jeep Wrangler or FJ Cruiser
  • A Toyota Prius or other hybrid (ed: gra-no-la)
  • A BMW or other luxury sedan

Feel free to check it out. How true is it for you?
