Miscellany: Slang, weirdness, nudity.

rsadelleSlang I now (mostly) understand.
I'm still quite taken with R. Kelly's "Ignition Remix." The bit that's now amusing the hell out of me is, "We got food everywhere / As if the party was catered." But, really, I'm embarrassed to admit how much I love this song.
What the fuck?
Have you ever actually listened to the lyrics to Jason Mraz's "The Remedy"? They're really very bizarre. They're even weirder than his last name. And speaking of which, I can't decide what to make of his last name. On the one hand, it's so weird it can't be real. On the other hand, it's so weird it can't be made up.
What the fuck? Redux.
Heard Thursday in Barnes & Noble: A piano version of the Beach Boys' "California Girls."
Naked celebrities.
I rented Lawn Dogs in preparation for next week's premiere of The O.C.. (Connection: Mischa Barton.) I'd forgotten how unbelievably good the movie is. Sam Rockwell and Mischa Barton are both fantastic and I love the way the fairy tale elements are woven into the story. Oh, and Sam Rockwell's naked in it (full frontal, no less).
Naked celebrities 2.
Continuing my preparation for The O.C. (I know it's going to be horrible, and I also know I'm going to love it), I rented Lost and Delirious, which wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It has some slow moments, but it's beautifully filmed. There was so much skin I had to check to see what it was rated, but then again, it is Canadian.
Summer Reading: Swindon.
"I'm Phodder," said the driver. "My associate here is Kannon. SpecOps-5 has been reassigned."
"Reassigned? Does that mean Acheron Hades is officially dead?"
"No SO-5 case is ever completely closed. Acheron was only the third most evil criminal mind on the planet, Miss Next."
"Then who--or what--are you after this time?"
It seemed that they preferred asking questions to answering them.
"Your name came up in preliminary inquiries. Tell me, has anything odd happened to you recently?"
"What do you mean, odd?"
"Unusual. Departing from the customary. Something outside the usual parameters of normalcy. An occurrence of unprecedented weird."
I thought for a moment.
"No."
