Yay! Myshe directed me to AOL Music today which had Prince's contribution for the upcoming movie "Happy Feet" up for listening. "Song of the Heart" fits in perfectly with the theme of the movie and is bouncey, light-hearted and lends itself well to a tapping penguin. I'm actually looking forward to see this movie next month and this as well as so many othe great artists on the soundtrack only helps!

A New Appreciation
Music at the Moment: Justin Timberlake - "Let me talk to you/My Love"
Anyone that knows me knows that I am NOT a Justin Timberlake fan. I liked "Cry me a River" and almost all of his new CD (Except that god awful crappyback sexycrap song) chiefly due to Timbaland's involvement. (Love me some Timbaland!) I've never understood the general gay fascination with how incredibly hot he is (yech!) nor how it's implied that he's so far beyond his fellow N-Sync members (In fact, I loved JC Chasez' last CD, which interestingly enough was VERY similar to this latest Timberlake release and well before it.)
Well, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the other day that the second release from the new Timberlake CD was "Let me talk to you/My Love" which I really like. However, I can like the song and still not be terribly impressed by the "performer".
So I went to bed last night and, as is custom, flipped on the television to wind down before actually drifting off. Surfing I landed on VH-1 to watch the end of some video that I can't recall now. I figured I’d cut it off after it ended and hit the hay. As it ended I heard the music for Timberlake's new tune so I said "eh, I’ll se how he showcases in this one and does little else". Pretty much the first half of the video was as I expected. Flashy set, Timberlake walking around in a suit trying to look all mature and cocky with some minute little "look I have rhythm" moves here and there.
Then we transition to the second half of the video.
I sat up in my bed and watched the remainder of the video with slack jaw. I was returned to a day when I would perform every weekend with my dance partner Snowy and lived for the next Janet Jackson video because I knew it would be on time. Admittedly, this new Janet album is fun and that made me happy, but the "So Excited" video, while decent and dancey, is not the caliber I’ve wanted back from Janet since the days of Rhythm Nation and Janet.
This video delivered what I’ve wanted for so long. The choreography is tight with a capital flawless and made me want to ring Snowy and say "Okay, this is the next routine we're doing". Kudos to Justin and the choreographer. I will certainly pay more attention to you from now on.
Here is a link to the VH-1 video list. You can pick Justin on the right menu to play the video. Make sure you right click the screen of the video to put it on fullscreen. Then you can see the sublime moves up close.

I Still Hate Math
Music at the Moment: Jet - Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
Okay, so I'm actually picking Algebra up. Hallelujah. I still can't stand math.
Jet is hot. I think they're actually a fixed addition to my favorite rock groups list. I bet they hate math too.
I wonder how Maya feels about math, being that she's a scientist from an advanced culture.
I @#%$ hate Math! All I'd ever hear from Mentor was "Check your math!", "Math is good!", "Math will rejuvenate our dead world!" I mean #!*&! Enough with the math already. Maybe I want to be a $!%@* baker!
I totally hear you Maya. I guess I'll manage and pray that it doesn't weigh down my other classes. What would Maya do?
I'd molecularly transform into a Croton Fire Beast and destroy all math books. You're SOL though Phred, because you aren't a shapeshifter. Sucks to be you.
I know Maya. You, in your infinite wisdom, totally rock.

3 Down. 12 To Go. Oy.
Music at the Moment: Tori Amos - Mr. Zebra
Music at the Moment: Scissor Sisters - Kiss You Off
(Whatta ya do? Mr. Zebra was over by the time I typed it.)
And the verdict is...
So thankfully I've held onto my G.P.A. for another term. I hope I can do it for another 12.
Below are pieces from my DI final that I promised some friends I'd post. We had to do a package design for a product of our choice plus some design collateral. I chose Ye Olde Cereal. It was rather fun!
