Holiday spirt and "good will to all" aside, this city is out of control!
1) I know I've seen Joey in RENT 12 times but it still makes me cranky when 50+ people come out for the lottery. I should have known better than to try for tickets over Thanksgiving weekend.
2) Times Square. Ugh. There's really not much more to say about that. I have never tripped over so many people in my life. They are all looking up at the pretty billboards and all of the lights. And they walk veeeerrrryyy slooooooowly.
3) The subway. People just don't seem to get the concept of swiping a metro card and walking though a turnstile. Oh, and one more thing- let the people off the train before you try to get on.
I'm really nice to tourists. I swear. I point them in the right direction and everything. But sometimes it's overwhelming.
And now, on to my simple rant about Billboard Magazine. They suck.
Did you read their review of BMU? Very, very harsh. Made me wince. Just...bad.

The latter part of this year has certainly seen its share of platinum-artist misses: Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, and Mariah Carey all stalled at the starting gate with songs that didn't measure up to creative expectations. But the gusto with which 'N Sync member JC Chasez misfires with solo debut "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" is downright stupefying. The song from the Drumline soundtrack is a clogged drain of blurry, mumbling, even off-key vocals, random screams and grunts, and a listless, grating drum'n'bass backdrop that sounds like it was recorded on a two-track relic. The result is a song with no discernable direction and a grossly unconvincing turn toward hip-hop for Chasez. Wholly ill-conceived, "Blowin' Me Up" is an utter implosion of talent.—CT
But I love the song. For many reasons. And I'm convinced I'd love it even if it wasn't JC. So there. :b
