Every once in a while, the Music High Definition channel airs "Gorillaz Live in Harlem." I'm not a huge Gorillaz fan, but I do like some of their stuff. Well, the last 10 minutes or so of the show are something else. You get a choir, some guitar sliding, and a mini-orchestra.
The lead singer is Damon Albarn. You may recognize him as the voice behind Blur. He also provides vocals for The Good, the Bad, and the Queen. I have only checked out a little bit of their music, but I like it. His voice is interesting, and it feels like he sings with emotion. You don't find that much anymore.
AT&T just released a new phone for their online store. (Yes, I'm on AT&T. The service isn't as bad as others say. In fact, I've only had one issue with them, and it may turn out to be nothing at all.) I'm a big Sony Ericsson fan when it comes to phones. So when I saw it earlier this morning and I checked out the specs, I decided that this is going to be my next phone. Right now, they only have the white ones online, but earlier they listed a gray color.
I renewed my love for Pop-Ice, a.k.a. Fla-Vor-Ice. When the weather gets hot, there's nothing like frozen flavored water to help cool you down. It's cold, it tastes good, and it hydrates you. That's a triple-win.
You know what's dangerous? Looking at a current list of flavors from Ben & Jerry's. Apparently they just released a Crème Brûlée flavor. The idea of custard ice cream and carmelized sugar makes me want to jump out of my 3rd story window, run to the Ben & Jerry's shop down the street, and wait for them to open. Yes, there is a Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Scoop Shop about 1 mile west of where I live. Definitely walking distance. And probably worth it. (Bananas on the Rum was worth it. And when they had Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream. That was amazing.)
It's kind of funny how I wind down to go to bed. At 3:30AM, I told myself, "Alright, time for bed." I brushed my teeth and started shutting things down. But then I remembered that I didn't write a post last night (because Blogger was down.) So I look for my inspiration, which means sorting through my iTunes library to find a song I haven't listened to in a while. It works.
But then I get side-tracked. I start checking my favorite web sites all over again. I jump on Wikipedia to find information, mainly about things I hadn't thought of before. Then I check Netvibes to see if there's any new updates to my favorite blogs. But this can occupy hours of my time. Now, it's nearly 6AM, and I'm barely ready for bed.

What happened to your love of the iPhone? (btw - the link is down).
Ben & Jerry's is just trying to keep up with Haagen Daas (who came out with Creme Brulee recently and has been coming out with some weird flavors recently - their limited time gourmet collection). I miss B & J's Chocolate peanut butter cookie dough...it was my all-time fav!!! If they ever come out with the pumpkin cheesecake again, I'll have to get me some! :) However, their Holy Canolli was just a BAD idea (who would ever make a ricotta cheese flavored ice cream?!?! That's as bad as wasabi flavored ice cream!!!)
I like the iPhone and all, but there's no way I'm going to pay that much. I'll wait 'til they release Ver 2.0.
Now that I think about it, I've never had Haagen Daas. Don't know why, but if they have a Creme Brulee flavor, I'll do it.
Ricotta cheese is nice in some desserts, but not ice cream. That was weird.
