I'll Take Potpourri for $400, Alex.

**UPDATE**
So I finally did that iPod random shuffle thing (see last post). As suspected, it was utter nonsense. Nonetheless, here are the results:

How does the world see you? "Cry for the Weeper" - Sun 0))) (I apparently come across as depressed.)

Will I have a happy life? "Heart Street Directions" - Ghostface Killah ("You get on Bush Highway, you go past Vagina Street... The next block is Clit Boulevard" etcetera... Sounds pretty happy to me!)

What do my friends really think of me? "Whiskey Man" - The Who (Probably the most accurate one here.)

Do people secretly lust after me? "Subterraneans" - David Bowie (The homeless find me irresistable. The C.H.U.D.s, too.)

How can I make myself happy? "Kids Will Be Skeletons" - Mogwai (So I'm an unfulfilled child murderer?)

What should I do with my life? "Sixteen Blue" - The Replacements (Ooookaaaay... this song is about deciding that maybe you're gay. That's more than a little troubling.)

Will I ever have children? "Strange News From Another Star" - Blur (So all that anal probing will result in my giving birth to the Star Child from V?)

What is some good advice for me? "A Salty Salute" - Guided by Voices (I should go to the club and get drunk ASAP. That's advice I can get behind!)

How will I be remembered? "I Don't Wanna Die" - The Unicorns (Damn straight! And I ain't gonna, neither.)

What is my signature dancing song? "Lady Bug (I Just Wanna Be Your)" - Bumblebee Unlimited (This really is a kickass disco song.)

What do I think my current theme song is? "Whisper to a Scream (Birds Fly)" - Icicle Works (Uh... sure, why not?)

What does everyone else think my current theme song is? "Come and Get It" - Badfinger (Again, if you say so.)

What song will play at my funeral? "Alright" - Guided by Voices (Depressing!)

What type of men/women do you like? "Can't Ever Sleep" - Saturday Looks Good to Me (I like insomniac nymphomaniacs.)

What is my day going to be like? "A Fool" - Young Bleed (The lyrics are completely friggin' unintelligible, but the title seems about right.)

Today is Potpourri, like everyone's favorite Jeopardy category. (Speaking of which, does the fact that I haven't heard from the Jeopardy people mean I failed the online contestant test last week?? Because that would really suck! I've been studying foods that start with "Q" for weeks.)

*Saw The Stills at Mercury Lounge last night. My excessive alcohol intake was the best thing about the show. Perhaps in a previous life I was a houseplant. Anyways, the Stills have jumped the shark. I wish I had seen Art Brut at Bowery Ballroom instead. Apparently they were amazing. And they opened with "Enter Sandman."

*A joke: What's better than a blog dedicated to The Brian Jonestown Massacre? The same blog, only in French and called A Whale's Vagina.

*Thank you so much, Fish Taco, for getting me in touch with my inner Michael McDonald. It absolutely made my day.

*Attention all units, be on the lookout for a rocker in ripped jeans.

*Here are some handy phrases in Klingon [Thanks to Ham Sandwich for both links]:

"Huh?"
nuqjatlh?
Phonetic: nook chatch

"Where is the bathroom?"
nuqDaq 'oH puchpa''e'?
nook dock oh putch pa eh?

"You mother has a smooth forehead!"
Hab SoSlI' Quch!
Hab Shush Li' Cooch
(Note: this is a powerful insult; don't say it to friends.)

"Shut up!"
bIjatlh 'e' yImev!
b'jock eh imev

*Two underrated things that lots of people consider very, very overrated:
1. Arctic Monkeys
2. Garden State

*Klosterman on the new Guns 'N' Roses album.

*Finally, here's a picture of The Hoff and a bird:
