"Do me a solid..."

Stop talking about Michael Jackson. I thought his over-hyped memorial service would end it, but they were still talking this morning on the news. Gah! I won't be surprised when we find out that he Tu-Pac'ed himself and will be making a comeback soon... and the media is in on it.

Kings of Leon's song "Sex On Fire" is great. Go find it. I would've embedded the video for you but that ish was disabled on Youtube. (Link to video here)

I bought myself some Levis 512 slim jeans, clean rinse, with an inseam that is 4" longer than I need, and they are awesome. Straight up great jeans.

Another early B-day present to myself: some Vans 106 SF shoes. "Brown" hemp, with bamboo/anti-microbe insoles, water-based inks & glues, and an injection-molded (no-waste) outsole = relatively earth friendly. Very classy.
