Who doesn't love karaoke on a Thursday night?

(Insert plug for karaoke at Miranda's starting this Thursday, 4/12, at 9:30 PM)

Anyway, some random thoughts:

1. Not playing Guitar Hero in about two months gives you awful wrist & forearm pain. Getting to play Tattooed Love Boys & Freezepop makes it worth it, though.

2. Matt Serra absolutely fed Georges St. Pierre his lunch tonight on UFC 69. That was awful. I'm not sure how you recover from an asskicking like that.

3. Check out the new Interpol album and let me know what you think. I wonder how much pressure they felt from the other bands of their ilk to get more upbeat (read: dancey) - talk about swift departures.

4, The Cubs are starting to look like the team people hoped for and THEN some. The starting pitching, save Z in the opener, has been fantastic, and the offense is starting to put some nice numbers up. A-Ram is hitting in April, which is a plus, and Mark DeRosa is hitting a lot more than I thought he would so far. It's almost enough to get me off the ledge over Jacque Jones batting #2 and Cliff Floyd starting.

5. Happy Easter to anyone who reads this. I've got an extensive blog planned for tomorrow afternoon, so I'll get some sleep for now.
