X & Y

Does anyone else besides me think the first track of the new Coldplay album sounds suspiciously like Duran Duran?

More Michael...

So I imagine Michael Jackson driving away from the court, blasting "Smooth Criminal" and "Beat It" from the sound system. They asked him why he keeps having sleepovers with children, even though he’s gotten in trouble so much; he responded: "Don’t stop ‘til you get enough." Now that I think about it, "Pretty Young Thing" takes on a whole new meaning (though "The Girl Is Mine" is still a joke). Now they say Michael’s going to go broke due to huge legal fees. Guess he could always get a second job babysitting... Oh, Michael, you’re so bad... Look at the bright side, though–at least the kid was not his son.
Okay, I’m done now.

Mama say mama sa mama cu sa...

Smooth Criminal

So Michael Jackson was found not guilty on all counts.

Hmm.

Don't really know how I feel about this. I mean, on the one hand I totally think he's guilty. But on the other hand, he did Thriller...

Hmm.

To paraphrase Michael: It don't matter if you're black or white, as long as you're famous.

I just wish he'd moonwalked out of the courtroom. That would have been cool...

The Sushi Experience

So I was persuaded to ingest sushi yesterday. This is not my first attempt at enjoying this cuisine, but it had been so long since the last time that it basically felt that way.

I’ll spare you any review of the restaurant and food, as it’s not really my forte (want restaurant reviews? Try this: http://foodieuniverse.blogspot.com/ ). I will tell you this: I had the shrimp rolls and the eel rolls. The eel? Pretty tasty. The shrimp? Surprisingly, not so much.

Fret not, those of you who are worried that I’ll venture into the dark side of healthier, chic-er eating. Sushi has not become a new favourite of mine. I can still think of plenty of other types of food that I’d pick first. Or second. However (with apologies to Nemo and all his little friends), I must confess that I’d be willing to do sushi again. This will be good news to some, strange news to others, and of no consequence to most of you.
