Well, I just finished the first The Legend of Zelda game originally for the NES and decided to quit after beating the first dungeon of the second quest because I need to go to bed at some point. Still, that game's fucking great. The replay factor still holds up to this day.
Anyway, Thanksgiving was good. I made and ate a shitload of food and had a good time with my family. Yup, not much else to say about that... it was just a good time. I love this holiday.
Anyway, that brings us to now. Today I saw a friend of mine who was home for the holiday. This kid's a Michigan theater grad who now lives in New York so he's pretty into the theater scene. Alright, really into the theater scene. While I was over at his place, he played some excerpts from the musical Avenue Q for me (in addition to his in progress Martha Stuart centered musical which was really funny, but I won't really get into that). So normally I'm not a huge musical fan. I enjoy certain ones: Phantom, Tommy, I actually really enjoyed Moulin Rouge, South Park: Bigger,Longer and Uncut, etc. Oh, I almost forgot, the film version of Singing in the Rain is the fucking bomb.
So this afternoon I had listened to parts of the Avenue Q soundtrack, now I own it. This is funny as hell. I mean I think if I play it for a few people they might enjoy at least a quarter of it, and these guys hate musicals. But really, how can you go wrong with a musical parody of sesame street (complete with puppets, including a version of Bert and Ernie where the Burt character is gay and has a crush on the straight Ernie character), about not knowing what to do after college and how much life sucks, containing songs like Everyone's A Little Bit Racist, The Internet Is For Porn, What Do You Do with a B.A. in English? and Schadenfreude (happiness at the misfortune of others). And, to top it all off, Gary Coleman, of Different Strokes fame, is the neighborhood super (of course, Gary is played by a short black woman). So now all that's left for me is to hopefully see the show at some point in my life because I hear it's a good time.
So that's it, that was my music purchase for the day. Oh, I also did break my vow to not go hit the stores today (I hate people), but it really wasn't bad later in the day today. Apparently, the psychos (read:soccer moms) had gotten their booty and left. Oh yeah, I also picked up What's Important To Pathetic Losers - Someday's Dreamers so I was pretty happy about that too. Overall, another good day. Sorry about being all upbeat recently, I know that it's probably annoying at times so I'll try to knock it off and rant about shit that pisses me off more (______ knows there's enough of it). But remember these words of advice: "In volatile market, only stable investment is porn!"
