Bolt for a Buck

Bolt for a buck? I think I almost got a Megabus ticket for a buck one time, but it was at 5 in the morning and there was no point in even flirting with the idea of starting the day at that time (mind you, this was in the summer). Well anyways, here I am on a Bolt bus back to NYC for the rest of spring break (half a week now). I'm going tomorrow to the Met to see Shostakovich's "The Nose", which seems to be getting good reviews. . . I haven't read anything about them, but people keep telling me that it's "really interesting". I don't know... Everytime I hear "interesting" in regards to any music written after 1909 or so, it usually means that the person who uttered the words doesn't understand the music at all (which I don't really care about), but they might want to sound intelligent (which, again, I don't have any problem with) so they avoid having to try to actually critique the music or even the performance and just slap on the old "interesting", which can go either way.

I don't want this to turn into that blog where everyone and everything is given the smackdown treatment, so I'll stop. And I don't think I'm that kind of person anyways.

So, in the best sense of the phrase, I hope that "The Nose" is as un-"interesting" as possible.

I've been reading a little bit of "Hipster Runoff" lately. Carles is a riot. I think he's gotten into the heart of what is on everyone's mind, but actually says it. He might be a bit too blunt, but that also just might be his style.
Whatever the case may be, he certainly has some very modern cultural insights that tons of fans around the country buy into. One post in particular was about the different age groups found at a band's concerts regularly (or not). I can't find the link to it, but if anyone knows where this post disappeared to please let me know.
Most of the time, he has joke stories. Kind of like the onion, but they are 100% true (sometimes not that much of a good thing). One story, about an episode of Judge Judy in which some misguided drunk soul decided to throw two television sets at a girl's cat, crushing it to death. To which Carles responds with the label: "GUILTY OF BEING ALT". Priceless.

Seeing as my narrative skill is at a whopping zilch, I can't think of a way to end this entry.
So choose from the following catchphrases:

a) "That's all folks"
b) "Is that yer associate there in the chopper?"
c) Beethoven
d) "And now for something completely different."
e) "Remember to have your pet spade or neutered."
