I do like how the “Lauren made Lisa Scott-Lee cry” is becoming a running joke on cd:uk. I continue to be underwhelmed by Girls Aloud’s new dance routine (I like Biology! But the video is a trifle dull, let’s be honest), and 50 Cent jokes are always welcome. But! The best news is that the awful ‘find people with the same name as pop stars’ segment is finally over. And I’m going to miss the next three weeks so I’ll be skipping Myleene’s MC training…
…oh, yes, and something I'd missed: the hosts have their own blogs.Ms. Miers had an opportunity to win over the skeptics this week with her answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee's questionnaire. But her responses were so unimpressive that the top Republican and Democrat on that committee took the extraordinary step yesterday of instructing her to give it another try, this time with more "particularity and precision." She thus became perhaps the most important judicial nominee in history to be offered what amounts to a do-over on a take-home quiz.Ladies and gentlemen, the next Justice of the Supreme Court!
Come and Get It: #23 with a bullet in the midweeks (#78 on Amazon). Of course, at least she can get in Top 40, which is a nut that M.I.A. has yet to crack. Hell, even Annie managed it (advance notice: I will be reviewing Anniemal for Static in the upcoming weeks, so expect gushing).
Clearly, Profession Barwise needs to get out more:
"Looking at the scantily dressed presenters, you have to ask: who are these people and where are they going? It's 4pm and they look as if they're going to a nightclub," he said.Walking down Camden would probably cause him to have a stroke…
I was hunting through some old CDs yesterday, trying to track down something that may appear later this week, when I came across a few little things that made me smile:
I know what you’re thinking: what’s my take on the Doctor Who spinoff series, Torchwood, which was announced today?
(for those of you thinking about toast, please go down the hall to room 26) Unsurprisingly, I'm in two minds. It's great that the BBC have so much faith in the new series that they're prepared to fund new science-fiction shows, and the proposed storyline is amusingly British (more anti-American bias from the BBC, obviously). But I'll miss Captain Jack in Doctor Who itself. I'm sure he's not being shunted to an 'adult' show because of his sexuality, but it was nice to have a character like that in a show like Who. Now, if RTD can add Marcie to the cast, I'll throw aside all all my reservations!Alas, Graeme, we’ll miss you and your daily dose of comicboard-related sarcasm.
(I was hoping that for the final entry, we'd get the infamous Ellis/Camgirl transcripts, but for ultimate horror, K-Box's Aunt May porn fiction can't be trumped. Or read without wanting to scoop your eyes out so you can stick a knitting needle in your brain)First they came for the silver foil of the Kit Kats, now the Smarties tubes. IS NOTHING SACRED?
