soapbox

so, $800 a month, utilities not included, unfurnished, is a bit too much to be paying on our stipend, isn’t it, no matter how nice the apartment?

I reckon that it’s fairly common knowledge that I’m a big fan of the shows Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs, for fairly obvious reasons. (Explosion! Large heaps of dung! Giant machines used for testing urban myths, demolishing a whole host of things, or a combination of both!)

Anyways, I caught several episodes of Cash Cab the other day, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely the sort of reality game show that doesn’t wear thin on me inside of five minutes.

In case y’all missed it, Tom Jones has been knighted.

Opinions on his music span the spectrum, but I kinda like his stuff; he’s like a loud British version of Barry White meets James Brown, making him difficult for me not to enjoy.
