I'm finally getting an antenna to watch HDTV(!!). While I was looking for info on HDTV over the air (OTA) signals, I found a sweet site that lets you know what channels are available in your area and even suggests what type of antenna you may need (though no specific vendors/brands).
AntennaWeb.

iTunes is finally good for something.
I don't know how I hadn't heard of this song before.
"My favorite girl wanna leave me
just 'cause I got a girlfriend"

there are just no words...
I know some people are opportunistic, and that we should look at the bright side of things, but a Recession Special?
Really?! (54clothing)
funniest blog ever?
It's similar to Black people love us, but I think this one's funnier: Stuff white people like.

Don't try this at home
If you know me, you know that I'm two steps away from becoming a full-blown vitamin water addict (a.k.a crack water). If you didn't know, now you do.
Although some of the flavors have a medicine-like after taste (focus, b-relaxed), some of them are awesome (power-c, energy, XXX, etc.). With that in mind, I figured I'd try the "vitamin energy" drinks, and the results aren't pretty, or, more importantly, tasty. Try some Monster with cough syrup and you'll get something close to this... At least I'm not so sleepy, but I'm not sure it's because of the energy boost, or because my taste buds are crying.

I want those flashing lights
As it is, the video's not really impressive. But as far as I can tell it's supposed to be a multi-part video (Remember R-Kelly's "Trapped in the closet" Parts 1 through 500,000?), but we'll see. These people are assuming a multi-part video as well, but they don't list sources or anything else to back it up :-?
Man, I've been up for a long time already, but there's still plenty to do today. I guess I'll nap at some point.

cleaning up (quotes)
Addendum:
Originally, this entry was about "cleaning up" my profile and putting up random quotes here. It seems that Google thought these were quotes about actually cleaning up, though. So I've added a few quotes about cleaning up :)
"My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance."
~ Author Unknown
"Please don't feed the dust bunnies."
~ Author Unknown
"A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life: he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It's just music.
It's trying to play clean
and looking for the pretty notes."
~ Charlie Parker
"Housework is something you do that nobody notices until you don't do it."
~ Author Unknown
"One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop."
~ G.M. Weilacher
"Our house is clean enough to be healthy, and dirty enough to be happy."
~ Author Unknown
“Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the sidewalk before it stops snowing”
~ Phyllis Diller
"Black is practical. It always looks clean and fairly neat.
It's certainly simple.
It's cool.
It also makes you look thinner."
~ Christopher Walken
“He who wants to change the world should already begin by cleaning the dishes.”
~ Paul Carvel
“The gift of the... novelist is to turn the cleaning of a closet into an inventory of love and loss.”

"I always clean before the cleaning lady comes. If not, when I come home, I can't find anything. Cleaning ladies are always hiding things you leave out."
~ Celia Cruz
"If you want to have clean ideas, change them as often as your shirt."
Francis Picabia

Original post:
My (facebook) profile's getting cluttered, so while I narrow down my "favorite" quotes, here's what I have now (for posterity's sake):
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
You just gotta make sure, whatever you do, that you're using the money to chase the art, not the art to chase the money.
Today is tomorrow's yesterday, so if you’re putting it off till tomorrow, then why not do it today? For then you will have done your deed yesterday and you will have today free.
-- Edward Coley, Photographer 1980
Q. I tried spraying my pants with Febreze... but the smell always comes back. What should I do?
A. ... I read that Febreze is rumored to be harmful to pets. The rumor may be unfounded, but if your pants are toxic to your pet, what are they doing to your ass?
Los Goles se hacen, no se merecen.
(Goals are made, they are not deserved.)
-- Football Axiom
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather, the judgment that something else is more important than fear.
"Cuando deseas algo con todo el corazón, todo el Universo conspira para que realices tu deseo."
-- Paulo Coelho
"With Great Power comes Great Responsibility"
-- Spiderman's Uncle (Uncle Ben)
"To play [music] without passion is inexcusable!"
-- Beethoven
Kyle: Aren't weekends just the best?
Kenny: When you're unemployed, weekends are meaningless.
Kyle: Right, right...
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
Too early...
Just a few minutes ago, before I hit snooze for the 4th time, I thought of an amazing idea for a new post. Now, I have no idea what it was. Maybe that's a good thing since really bad ideas sometimes sound good when you're sleep-deprived. At the same time, I can't help but wonder, what if I just forgot the greatest idea I've had (for blogging, at least)?
Here's to hoping laundry might get my creative juices going. The nice thing about being up this early is that no sane person does laundry at this time of the day.
Oh yeah! I got my tickets through UPS yesterday!

Pro Nails
Lately I've felt that I haven't heard anything new or good for a while. So I recorded some music vids from mtv2 (thank you Vista Media Center) to see if there's anything or anyone worth checking out. Not surprisingly, most of the "songs" were not what I was looking for, but I found a gem:
I thought that by now the worm and the moonwalk would have lost their "woah" effect, but seeing the finger-worm and finger-moonwalk is very... different, heheh. This is probably the first song I've heard about getting your nails done, and, all things considered, it's not so bad - way better than glorifying booze and 22's.
It's also the funniest music video I've seen in a long time - at least as far as commercial music videos go, 'cause Peanut-Butter-Jelly time, in its many incarnations, still tickles me in an indescribable way...
