The Daily Special 8.20.09

• I will be at the Franz Ferdinand show, but by all means, don't let my disdain for child molesters stand in the way of you enjoying a free night with Jimmy Kimmel and R Kelly.

• "We're getting married!" Serial scarlet lady finally nabs her man after breaking up his marriage (and 3 others). What a brazen hussy.

• Really, Honda? You didn't think to make your cars tornado-proof? Well, that's just shockingly negligent.

• This guy went backpacking through Europe, and all he got was this stalker-ish harpy of an ex-girlfriend.

• Where's my Emmy?!?!?!

I'm A Winner!

I absolutely love Filter Magazine for their awesome reads, but today I love them even more because they hooked me up with tickets to Franz Ferdinand's show at the Hollywood Palladium on August 27.

Taking ShinySpecialCarWashingScampiMakingMusicLovingBestFriend to the show as a thanks for all her love and support during our first year of law school. And for introducing me to Flogging Molly at the Palladium almost one year ago!

The Daily Special 8.18.09

I spent the last five days romping around SoCal with ShinySpecialMama and ShinySpecialBabySister before Baby Sis starts her senior year of high school. My apologies for the lack of your Daily Special. I know all three of you were starving. Anywho, bottoms up.

• RIP Robert Novak.

• Billy Corgan continues to be douchey by doing a series of small venue shows at large venue prices. Who pays $30 for what is essentially a Pumpkins cover band? Bring back Iha and D'Arcy!

• Admission to the LA Arboretum is free today!

• Speaking of free, who wants to see the Cold War Kids with me this Friday?

• Because I love to hate it and so do you, here is the recently released trailer for New Moon.
