The days when life gets ya...

I actually left work at a reasonable hour tonight when I get home and as I greet my little furball psycho kitties at the door, I hit the answering machine that is flashing , and it appears that I have been so caught up in things that I forgot to mail the rent check! Needless to say I rushed it right over and after much apologizing spoke with the landlord about selling me the property. He actually didn't laugh his ass off as I suspected, having three tenants on a small piece of property brings him a big chunk of change. He said he would inquire with his partners and see if they could come up with a number.

I have a feeling that number's gonna be pretty darn high, but I will keep my fingers crossed...

Living in interesting times...

I bought a CD today that had a sticker on it that said "as heard on the iPOD COMMERCIAL".

Now, personally, I have never seen that commercial, or if I did, I didn't know it was this band, the Gorillaz, who in itself is a made up band of animated characters who play music, created by Damon Albarn and a guy who goes by the name "Danger Mouse."

Obviously, a guy like me is fascinated by the concept of an animated rock band, which is why I bought their first album, but I liked it enough to buy the second.

Is it selling out if you created fictional characters to do so?

Kooky.
