Three Songs I Can't Stand

Hope I don't offend anyone, but here are three songs that make me want to bash my head into a wall. For what it's worth, a few of my jackass friends really enjoy Depeche Mode. Not sure about their opinions on the other two though. Either way I'd rather eat a light bulb than listen to them another time.

And with that, enjoy!




Pretty bad, huh?

My Starbucks and iTunes D'oh

I was in Chicago the other day and grabbed a couple of those Starbucks iTunes song redemption cards at a Starbucks in a Target. Which is pretty wild. I wish there were more Starbucks in places like that. Not that we have Targets in Canada, but most of them are in Chapters (Canada's equivalent to Borders and Barnes and Noble) with a handful of separate locations besides. And really, you can never have enough Starbucks. There's the tops.

But anyway, I tried to redeem one of the codes and it didn't work since it was designed for the US iTunes and not the Canadian one (yeah, there's a difference, and don't think I'm not cheesed off by that). It's for Yusuf, the artist known as Cat Stevens' "Welcome Home". The codes are 9W3NAXLFPYWK and KWYRYYW6AFAJ. If you use them, just let me know so I can check them off.

Chicago was nice, by the way. Did a bit of a driving tour of the downtown, went by Target for some cheap tube socks, Cherry Coke Zero and Pretzels, and caught "(500) Days of Summer" at an AMC by the theater. It was a nice little trip.

What the - - ?

Now, I'm not an English professor, and on occasion I've even been known to mispronounce easy to say words like "crayon" and "thermometer", but can someone explain what this woman is trying to say. I heard a few familiar words there, but the order in which they're spoken vexes me.



Vexing. Definitely vexing.
