Random Tidbits
September 30, 2005 | 12:00am
In the absence of two coherent thoughts being wed in this author’s brain thus producing a progeny of prose that somehow entertains him (if no one else), we present random tidbits jotteddown that we never felt or had the inspiration enough to bloat into at least 500 words to justify a paycheck for an article. Hope you don’t take it against us too much: rest assured, we will soon regain our faculties soon – and hopefully just in time for next week’s deadline.
On Mariah Carey:
She’s staring to look like RuPaul but the guy’s got better tunes.
On Our Dog:
We named him Vinterberg after the Dogme 95 director and – like the upstart Dane – he’s forcing us to act under his conditions, freeing us from the tyranny of our personal aesthetics (all my socks have more hole than sock, our sofa is a patchwork of bite-marks, urine and dirt, all sorts of barriers blockade our staircases) and turning nights grainy enough for insomnia.

On Kris Aquino’s billboards:
Her neck seems unnaturally long. Is this a Pinocchio effect? Gasp! Is her smile a lie?

One of the most annoyingly heartwarming things on Cable TV (why are they now playing reruns?) I’m not wondering why I’m the only guy watching it. But before you judge me, read…
On the Dave Mustaine Part in the Metallica Documentary Some Kind of Monster…

On Seeing the Itchyworms for the first time last saturday:
Man, where have I been? Any band that can segue from Apo-esque ditty to a variation of Seek and Destroy to cap it all off with harmonizing is really something to lend your wholehearted support to! It’s a crime that they aren’t the superstars that they deserve to be. Well, of course, Champ is really much better looking than any of them…
