Some Entertainment for your Monday

Ah the internet is such a wonderful place, like a giant wave that can lead you to places you never thought possible or crush you terribly against a reef of trouble.  The weekend constantly brings me new ideas as my creativity roams completely un-stifled by my wonderfully rewarding 9 to 5.

Here is some entertainment that will get you through the week, or maybe just tomorrow depending on your consumption rate and boredom level.

Music


Eminem has a new mixtape out entitled a Beautiful Mind.  It has a few songs from the Recovery as well as some new freestyles, everything sounds surpsingly polished.  Standing out on the album is an insane romp over a past relationship with Mariah Carey.  The pop-music slasher that was Slim-Shady is back in action digging up old skeletons with Mariah and taking shots at her husband (total tool bag) Nick Cannon...go get em Em your my hero.

Florence and the Machine has been gaining some radio steam, and all the scene kids say that they are so gay since everyone likes them now...shut the hell up, they're still good.  Florence Welch has quite a set of pipes and am digging the music stylings.  Definitely pick up the album Lungs, its worth a listen while you are aimlessly browsing the internet or are working on something productive.

Movies
I did see How To Train Your Dragon last night.  It was well put together...for a Dreamworks movie.  I  want a dragon now. Preferably a Hungarian Horntail or a Nightshade, my birthday is on the 20th if you want to make a last minute stop at Diagon Alley for me...and yes that was two Harry Potter references in one sentence.

I also found this trailer for what could be an insane movie.  It is called Sucker Punch, might be worth a look.  This could be a terrible, acid trip of a movie and a complete waste of a ticket.  Or a cult classic to be followed by geeks everywhere.  A fine line walked in cinema these days.



Books
I just finished reading The Rum Diaries by Hunter S. Thompson, and have moved on to Catch22 by Joseph Heller, I am about two chapters in and have nothing to report as of now, I can feel the sarcastic tone and the classic nature of the book.  It may not have been a wise decision to read a WW2 satire at this moment but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

Otherwise, adios.
