Tell us about an event that changed your life forever.
Submitted by Miss Scotch.

There's been at least two, and one is far, far too significant to be discussed on this blog.  But there's a very recent event that hopefully will change my life forever, and not just in that I will spend the rest of my life paying off student loans.

And that is... drum roll please...

As of day-before-yesterday I am moving to New York City!  I just got into a grad school there for Journalism.  I had been equating attending this school to a "pipe dream"* since I decided to apply.  When I didn't hear back from the school in question, I just assumed that my application was so laughably bad that they didn't even deign to tell me I was rejected.  Turns out they just take their sweet-ass time during the admissions process.  So I've been bouncing up and down and clapping and stuff for the past two days. 

So yeah, now you know.  If anyone's up for a road trip to New York in June or July, I will most definitely be heading that way.   

*Literally a fantasy world that has been conjured with the aid of plentiful crack smoking.

What are your top 5 movies/DVDs of 2006?

 1. Borat

2.  The Departed

3. Stranger than Fiction

Those are the only ones I've seen worth mentioning.  Here are two I would still like to see:

4.  An Inconvenient Truth

5.  Talladega Nights

What song makes you rock the karaoke mic?
Submitted by Ann.

Songs I have actually sung:  "Like a Virgin"

                                          "Bull in the Heather"

                                         "This is Hardcore"

                                        "Bang a Gong"

I would only consider singing Bull in the Heather again.

Fantasy Song:  "Gigantic" by the Pixies.  I know all the words and thankfully it only requires maybe a quarter of an octave to sing. 

Why does everyone always want to sing Neil Diamond at Kareoke?
