Bart Simpson, meet Jay Sherman, the Critic

bethje and I watched some more of the Simpsons Season 6 box set last night. I'm disappointed that the commentary for "A Star Is Burns" didn't even address how Matt Groening left his name off the episode. Matt didn't participate in the commentary, and nobody else mentioned this. I was hoping they'd mention what Matt didn't like about it, and whether he'd gotten over it by now.

I saw this on lozenger8's journal, and I thought it was interesting, although I doubt anyone will reply.

Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list for you my top five of that thing or things. Copy and give your own top fives.

Please don't ask me my top five favorite movies, though, because I find that incredibly difficult, for some reason. If nobody asks me for any Top Five lists, I might just make a few myself in a later post.

This is also from lozenger8:

Look at your LJ "interests" list. If you have fewer than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much.

I just listened to Erin McKeown's newest album, We Shall Become Like Birds, all the way through for the first time. It didn't really thrill me. None of the songs lived up to the quality of earlier stuff like "La Petite Mort," "You Mustn't Kick It Around," or "Slung-Lo." Not on my first listen, anyway. It seems like a lot of 2005 releases by artists I like have been a little below par for those artists. Oh, well.

By the way, I recently got new razor blades, but I forgot to throw my old ones away. So now I can't tell which are the old ones and which are the new ones. I guess I'll just use all of them again. I'm dumb.
