Mundane Information About Stuff You Really Thought You Knew
Yes, I love them both. La Mala Rodriguez from Spain and Los Pibes Chorros from Argentina. See if you can get hold of their music. Hardly politically correct, but extremely original, global and yet local. Many people in Argentina give me a hard time because I like Cumbia Villera. But I do.

I am out for a cross country ski lesson this evening. My first ever.
I’ve XC skied as a child, but not anything formal and I don’t think slouching and sliding around the barnyard really counts anyway. The biggest obstacles there were frozen cow patties.
The rocks and paths around Yellowknife seem to be a bit more challenging. Plus, I’m taller now which means I have further to fall.
Wish me luck!
James Blunt has revealed the key to writing depressing love songs - get your heart broken as many times as possible.
Despite dating a string of beautiful women including, blonde heiress Camilla Boler, the singer admitted his failed relationships inspire him to write ‘miserable songs’. “You’ve got to have the inspiration (to write songs) so you’ve got to try and date as many women as you possibly can and then get dumped as often as possible and then your heart is in a right mess,” he said.
Blunt said the songs on his second album, All the Lost Souls, are depressing because he wrote them in Ibiza during the winter.
“I sat in Ibiza through the winter on my own with a piano and a guitar and wrote some more miserable songs,” he added on the Paul O’Grady show.
“You’d think Ibiza is a warm place but in the winter it’s freezing cold and a Spaniard nicked my boiler.
“So I sat there with an overcoat and a hat on and a fingerless gloves so if any of the songs sound sad to you, you can understand why.”

LG heeft de Prada-telefoon, en ook concurrent Samsung heeft nu een eigen modetelefoon. Het Italiaanse modehuis Armani is gestrikt voor de GSM geproduceerd door het Koreaanse elektronicaconcern. Het betreft de bestaande SGH-P520 met touchscreen.
De specificaties zijn niet veranderd. De slanke designtelefoon heeft nog altijd een 2.6-inch LCD-touchscreen (320 x 240), 3.0-megapixel camera en een gering aantal geheugen van 50MB. De laatste kan uitgebreid worden met microSD-kaarten. Voor externe verbindingen gebruikt de SGH-P520 bluetooth-, wi-fi- en GSM/EDGE-ondersteuning.
Wanneer de Armani-telefoon uitkomt, is vooralsnog niet bekend.

Reports are surfacing that Ali Lohan was in a car crash in Long Island, NY. Supposedly Lindsay’s younger sister snuck out of her house and got a ride with a boy she knows from school and they later crashed the car. But, Lohan’s rep says this is not the case. Leslie Sloane tells TMZ, “I just got off the phone with Ali. She was never in the car!”
Rumors like this don’t start from scratch. We’re guessing that if Ali wasn’t in the car already the boy was probably on his way to pick her up. Looks like we’re going to have another crazy Lohan on our hands.
I don’t know enough curse words to even begin to explain how stupid these people are.

Two horribly wrong posts in one day — I should probably just quit for the day.
Last August, a blogger in Cincinnati going by the name CincyBlurg reported that a black friend from the southeastern U.S. had recently discovered that she was being called a Canadian. “She told me a story of when she was working in a shop in the South and she overheard some of her customers complaining that they were always waited on by a Canadian at that place. She didn’t understand what they were talking about and assumed they must be talking about someone else,” the blogger wrote.
“After this happened several times with different patrons, she mentioned it to one of her co-workers. He told her that ‘Canadian’ was the new derogatory term that racist Southerners were using to describe persons they would have previously referred to [with the N-word.]”
