This is what loneliness can drive some people to do. Not that I've ever taken it so far as to dabble in drugs, but it's a feeling that I wish on no one.
Bonus points if you can catch the very clever Prince reference.

I've Found The (Mani)cure!
For the longest time, I've been promising myself that I'd return to The Ten Spot and get a manicure. Understand that it's been more than one year since the last time I did that...actually, my last manicure was on March 22nd of last year! Talk about anticipation...
Yesterday evening, after returning home from church, I finally booked my comeback appointment using their new online booking system. I missed having the opportunity to seduce the receptionist, but this new system not only allows you to pick a service and the date thereof, but also the person who will be doing the procedure. In light of that, congratulations *** - I just made your day.
Besides, I can always seduce the receptionist on the day of my appointment. Two for the price of one! ;-)

Special Delivery
This morning was pretty mundane; I spent time with God and took my shower as I usually do. However, as I stepped out of the shower, someone knocked on my door. It turned out to be a mailman with a package for my mom, and he couldn't wait for me to moisturize and put on my undies. I told him I'd be right over...
There was no way I was going to answer the door in my birthday suit, so I wrapped a towel around myself and proceeded to the door. Upon opening it, I said, "You'd better hope this doesn't fall off."
That mailman probably didn't want to risk seeing what he shouldn't have seen, even though I was covered. He ended up dropping the mail on my floor before leaving.
Your tax dollars at work...

Set Phasers To Stunning
I was going to see Earth for the second time, but that plan got scuttlebutted. I didn't wake up early enough to do what I needed to do before attempting to catch the 10:30 a.m. screening. That's okay, though - I ended up watching Star Trek and it turned out to be worth every penny of the six-dollar admission price. This is one movie which probably benefits from IMAX, but I honestly didn't miss it at all.
I also didn't miss the recently-implemented Enhanced Ticket Experience (ETX) which, upon a casual glance, looks like AMC's answer to IMAX. It seems as if only the Yonge-Dundas location offers this feature, which includes a "20% larger floor-to-ceiling screen, 11-channel surround sound with 57,000 watts of power, and 8.8 million pixels providing 4X the resolution of HD" (quoted from AMC's movie listings). It also offers a two-dollar surcharge because there's always a catch. I'm offhandedly inclined to think that IMAX comes out on top, but you can see what IMAX offers for yourself.
In any event, I plan to see Star Trek again, likely in ETX for comparison's sake. I hope it's solid; AMC's Yonge-Dundas location may very well be screening Transformers 2, and I was definitely looking forward to seeing that in IMAX!

In Defense Of The Jonas Brothers
I like the Jonas Brothers' music...well, from A Little Bit Longer onward. That statement alone is enough to make me lose a lot of cred in some readers' eyes, but I don't care.
I'm male and almost thirty years old, so I'm way outside of their demographic. A few years ago, I wouldn't have given them the time of day, neither. Every time a song like "When You Look Me In The Eyes" came on, I'd cringe. I used to dismiss them as a band that tween girls go ga-ga for; the story should have been over at that point.
Around the release of the aforementioned third album, I checked out "Burnin' Up," the lead single. Thanks in large part to the melody and the fact that "Kiss"-era Prince influenced the song, I ended up actually liking it. However, it wasn't until I heard "Lovebug," with its genius structuring (saving the rockout until close to the end) and tap dancing in the second verse, that I started to admit that the JBs just might sneak their way into my CD collection.
As of late 2008, they did - and they'll probably do it again with the release of Lines, Vines And Trying Times in a few months. "Paranoid" is the lead single this time around; I heard it yesterday and it sounds as if the JBs may have been influenced by The Killers and Weezer. Lyrically, it could signal a shift away from the romance-centred lyrics of their third album, although it devotes a few lines to taking shots at an ex. I bet the music press will be all over them, perhaps wondering if Taylor Swift or Miley Cyrus is the intended target.
In any event, this is one album I look forward to checking out.
