TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain
I uploaded this for a guy at work tonight so I figured I'd post it here once again, as I did when it first came out in 2006 (old blog). This is a really fantastic album if you haven't already heard it. Lately I have been itching to hear it. It's ironic too because as much as I love this record I am just now listening to the new one, Dear Science, which I've had for about two months it seems. The new album's good, but Return To Cookie Mountain is better.

This is pretty good too if you like his stuff. I loved Blood Visions. It's definitely linked to a certain time for me and that's what can make an album just amazing sometimes.

Anyway, today I didn't do anything except work and read the newspaper. Work was great except for a few small problems. I thought I did alright, but later figured I came up about ten bucks short on the night. I did eat a great steak though.
At work we are all in the habit of reading our horoscopes and comparing the number of stars we have for the day. Today I had five stars (which I always seem to, go figure) and the little 'Tonight:' thing said 'talking over dinner'. Talking over dinner is what I see every night, so what's up? But then I had dinner with a friend and it ended up being cool.

I made a candy run midway through the night and found the most awesome Laffy Taffy thats shaped like a Slim Jim. Bought 8 of those even though I was really looking for a new Twizzlers product called Twerps which are super good. My friend at work said he was wild about Twerps but had begun to wonder if they weren't just around for a limited time (to appeal to the college kids?). Twerps are like a much bigger Twizzler with crazy filling in the middle. They're not long like a Twizzler though, they're just a half inch section of one (think Nib). My friend said what he liked about them was the continuation of the idea that started with Bonkers in the '80s. Get two different textures of gummy stuff and combine them. That's my take on everything.

At work tonight there was trivia and this question had nearly everyone stumped for about twenty minutes. Everyone had the first two, which you dear reader, will no doubt get in seconds flat but the third one is pretty tough. Check it:

What are the top three highest grossing movie franchises where every major character is British?

They can be played by Americans or whoever but the characters are British. Franchises, people. Highest grossing.


So Barack Obama! Here we go, ladies and gentlemen!
