Song One-Hundred and Nine

After dinner with a friend tonight, I was inexplicably drawn to Payless Shoes where--because of their BOGO promo--I actually purchased 6 pairs of shoes for $60. How is this possible? Oh, unfair labor practices, you do make my feet look stylish. And, I got home in time to give the children a bath while watching Cooking with Celebrities, or whatever it's actually called. Gosh, Tom Arnold sweats . . . a lot. It's the third night for this brain-resting-spot; in the "with celebrities" pantheon, it falls somewhere between "dancing" (high) and "skating" (low). My money's on Ashley Parker Angel in the finals. Go, O-Town! Now, I'm waiting for "Babysitting with Celebrities," starring TomKat, Brangelina, Bennifer2, the Paltrow-Martins, and the Trumps. The show will really pick up when the engrams, tatoos, Starbucks, free trade stickers, and baby combovers start a'flying. Ah, onto the music, tonight's song is Morningwood's "Nth Degree." The would-be-saucy pun in the band's name is really rather lame. The song is cold-perky 80s, sounding like many new wave-y bands--Missing Persons, Berlin, Devo, M, add your own here--with a bit of the Bay City Rollers woven in. There's something cynical in its cleverness that's off-putting.

256 to go.
