Yeah, O.K., I skipped a "Peeve". Between the Not-In-A-Good-Way tongue-lashing we got from Craig in his last comments, and the depressing nature of the last week or so, I just couldn't bring myself to cough up a bunch of negativity, no matter how "lighthearted" it may be. So I give you these Topics O' Discussion instead...Discuss:
1. What would Mariah Carey have to do to stop being annoying? Has anyone ever seen her wearing what might be considered clothing outside of a topless beach? Is she actually a good singer, or just a blah singer with the ability to do ridiculous vocal runs? Could she sing opera? That's the true test, I think. Guess what, if I wanted to hear runs I'd go sit in the bathroom of the local Greasy Spoon.
2. One of our local radio stations played an elaborate April Fool's prank, suggesting that Courtney Love had reunited Nirvana and they would be touring this Summer. I thought it was a kinda cool idea, but most people seemed to be horrified by the whole thing. I mean, they sucked in the first place, how much worse could they be now? What do y'all think?
3. Starbucks has a new specialty drink, the Honey Latte. I asked the Barista what was so special about it and she said it was made w/honey, not sugar. The funny thing is that they have honey packets at their condiment station, so you can, as I did, order the $2.68 latte and add your OWN honey instead of ordering the $3.48 honey latte where they do it for you! (You might, to be fair, get a squirt of whipped cream w/an extra honey drizzle, but c'mon! Is that worth 80 cents?) So, FINALLY, my question here is: how long before people figure this out and Starbucks takes the honey packets off the condiment bar? Or are enough people so used to spending huge amounts of their income on coffee that this doesn't even phase them, they just pay the 80 cents?
4. Is this some kinda dictatorship or what? I didn't vote for this "DUMB" blog title! And I, unlike SOME people, only voted once! We demand a recount/vote!!!
So lemme know what y'all think and maybe I'll get outta my funk and get my "Peeve" on! PPPLLLBBBTTTT!!!!

Heh. Heh heh. Yes, it is some kind of dictatorship, it's the kind where I picked the blog title! and where all I do for my job is play Tiger Woods 2008 all day!
I don't know, I hate Mariah Carey songs as much as anyone else, but I'm sure she's an exceptional singer, she just needs better producers...maybe she can get the guy that produced Johnny Cash's American Music or whatever series and then she can do really deep covers of like...depeche mode's Blasphemous Rumour or something.
I dunno, I really like a lot of Nirvana's stuff, and I STILL think it would be kind of cool to hear Courtney Love do a reunion tour with them. His music is so much about him and his dysfunction, who better to sing it than her?
I'm skipping the Starbucks thing, and if you can come up with some better thing to get input from actual reader type folks about a blog name, then knock yourself out, Cassius Clay! You have administrator rights the same as I do, maybe this should become the kind of thing like in Uncle Rico, where it changes constantly like our team names and only marginally and occasionally makes any sense. You know I'm always down with that!
Dammit! I should have seen something like this happening... ack!
I do like a good amount of Nirvana's music, but there's been a bit too much on the radio lately. But Courtney Love?! Ugh. I'd rather Mariah reunite Nirvana.
