Why bathe in water when you can bath in cheese puffs
If you could bathe in something other that water, what would it be?
Cool video -- a little YouTube Holiday Cheer
I thought this was a fun video and I wanted to share with my PianoChordFinder.org friends.
$50, 000 a month from Ipod Vending Machine?
The world keeps changing. Would you believe that a single vending machine selling Ipods did over $50, 000 in business?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (subscription) that a single iPod vending machine sold a thousands of dollars worth of iPods in one month. A VP of Business Traveler Services is quoted as saying, "We've done about $55,000 in a month in gross sales just for the one on Concourse A. This is becoming the future for some high-end products in places like airports where space is at a premium." If you're willing to drop $349 plus tax, the iPod is yours.
I wonder if you throw in an extra 50 cents, if you can get Fritos with that.

Johnny Depp does Sweeney Todd?
So here I go, entering the world of the blog. I was at Barnes and Noble tonight, and when I wasn't looking at salacious pictures in their generous magazine section, I was looking at books on blogs.
So I just read that Johnny Depp is going to be doing Sweeney Todd with Tim Burton. I imagine this movie will probably look like every other Tim Burton movie -- which is a good thing. I just hope he pretty much keeps the script and music the same. The original Sondheim score is of biblical perfection, if you ask me -- by that I mean, pretty damn good, and most would agree it shouldn't be fiddled with.
Can I just say, I don't think Johnny Depp has the guttural baritone the role requires? My only hope is that digital technology has come to the point where they can beef him up. They who played the phantom in "The Phantom of the Opera" movie sounded whiny and young. That movie would have been so much better with a beefy Darth Vader of a villian. Johnny Depp is generally not menacing enough. I just hope Tim Burton and Johnny decide to do all in their power to make him fit the role rather than make the role fit Johnny's mediocre vocal talents. He's got a great voice for speech, and a keen ear for accents, but have you heard the original Broadway cast recording of this show? Johnny doesn't have THAT.
Also, the Mets freakin' lost tonight, and my girlfriend is upset about it. Why can't they get it right? Then I wouldn't have to console my girlfriend over a baseball team!
