The World of Entertainment

I can't promise that the real world will never intervene but most "news" will follow this banal pop culture vein.

I haven't decided if the TV show Love Monkey is any good yet. It's not terrible - I'll go that far.
But, worth noting is that the show's theme song is the Odds' seminal work, "Someone Who is Cool." I presume this has something to with the Canuck status of the two leads, Tom Cavanagh and Jason Priestly. Also, it's either an alternate take or some soundalike band - but it's not the album cut. If you care.

UPDATE: So, the theme song is actually being sung by this punk, Teddy Geiger. On the show he is some hip new musician who the main character has discovered. In real life he is a hip new musician who sounds a bit like John Mayer on Nyquil with a slightly sore throat. It is not a coincidence that Sony Music is trying to shove said musician down the public's throat. But I'll try not be cynical. Yet.

So it looks like Lord of the Rings stage show will be delayed. This thing will either be good or suck mightily but know this if you're getting tickets: The Mirvishes are awful coy in the way they sell tickets - their web site does not clearly indicate which shows are previews and which are not. The ticket prices don't even change when previews end (ie there is no discount for seeing a work in progress rather than a final show) so doublecheck if you're going.

Also, you have a better chance of Ayman Al-Zawahri being nice to George Bush than you do getting comps for any Mirvish show. Just so you know.

And, having done some research, it looks like I can indeed add other contributors to this so-far egocentric endeavour. If you think you'll have something amusing to say on a semi-regular basis, just say so and I can work the magic. You only have to meet the following criteria:
-I have to know who you are
-You have to have a suitably amusing alias
-Um, that's all I can think of for now.
