New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
another zodiac has gone around.

While you drank yourself high on hoping
and watched the ceiling spin from the ground.

Counting down from ten it's time
to make your annual prayer.

Secret santa in the sky
when will I get my share?

Then you tell yourself
what you want to hear.

Cause you have to believe.

This will be my year.

This will be my year...Semisonic

Bono stirred things up at the University of Pennsylvania. The U2 rocker was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Law when he gave the commencement speech, and told the grads, "Wow! I know ii's an honor, and it really is an honor, but are you sure? Doctor of Law, all I can think about is the laws I've broken. Laws of nature, laws of physics, laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania..." . . .

Am I the only person who feels that it's insulting to give celebrities honorary degrees??? Wouldn't you be just a tad bit irritated if you had busted your butt to get a law degree and then some musician with follicle issues was just handed one?

Harumph.

Summer Fridays start tomorrow and guess who's sleeping in? In being a relative 8 or 9AM of course.

And last but not least I heard this song in the car on my way home. Did I mention that the 8:15PM bus stops at the AIRPORT? Ick...but I heard this song which happens to be Local H a former Island band circa the time I interned there otherwise known as "my primary example of the hell a working at a record label can be" also where the assistant to a VP how got his job 'cause his dad like owned a lot of stuff there or something (the VP not the assistant)...anyway this assistant was real condescending. So after I got my job @ *** I went to visit the one person that I liked (who I am very good friends with still even if she's 20 years senior) anyway I stop by and still he was condescending, still! Then I told him where I worked and the needle skipped and well, that was that. Insert second harumph.

Anyway I like this song (though it's a bit coarse both lyrically and musically, but it makes it's point). So I like it because I too am not to fond of LA, yet there I'll be next week. Who am I kidding? It's always fun when I am there because a. the weather is divine and b. who can take it seriously? Not I little one. Oh yes and I get to see a few far flung friends.

You can actually listen to the full length song on their website. Bleeped of course.

Local H " California Songs "

Well, I got your late night call
You're in the center of it all
You're having a ball
And you're really doing fine
On west coast time
And I believe you
But here's one for the coast
And the people with the most
The pretty pretty folks
The west coast folks

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah, we know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please, no more California songs
And fuck New York too

Yeah, your heaven is a lie
Just more shit that I don't buy
And they're heading for the coast
They're moving out in droves
Sending back reports on the radio
With messages the same
It's getting pretty lame
California dreaming's on the radio

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah, we know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please, no more California songs
And fuck New York too
