Now is when it gets hard to wait.

To see my FL talking & squealing in whispers about Schizophrenic... It makes me want to go out and download the album and listen to it...

But, I'm *not* going to. From all the interviews & such I've seen & heard with JC recently, he's made his feelings pretty clear, at least to me, on the subject of leaked songs/albums and such. I'm going to honor & respect those feelings by waiting to listen to his album until I have the entire thing in my hands for my own, purchased from the store.

I put away my CDR that was full of JC's album clips. I haven't listened to it since Tuesday. If I need to, I'll snap the CD in half just to guarantee that I won't tempt myself to listen.

When I listen to JC's CD for the first time, I don't want it to be after guiltily hunting down clips and then playing them on the tiny, crappy speakers I have on my computer. I want my first full listen to be as he wants me to hear it, the full & complete album, on my good surround sound speakers, with the album cover & liner notes in hand.

I'm ambivalent however, about the lack of lyrics in the cd booklet. JC has said in an interview that he doesn't want interpretation and experience of the song to be influenced by what he's determined the words are, he wants people free to interpret and take away from the song what they will on their own.

I don't quite know yet if I'm going to want to go out hunting lyrics for his songs after I get and listen to the album. I suppose I'll figure that decision out when I get there.

I am quite determined however, not to listen to anything from Schizophrenic (unless it's Some Girls on the radio) until after I purchase his album and have it in my hands for my very own.
As long as the only references I see on my FL are vague ones and no "click here to download the songs from JC's new album Schizophrenic, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Quote of the Day
"If it had been left to me, I'd have chosen Justin Timberlake."
-- NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw, on the network's choosing NBC reporter Brian Williams to replace him when he chooses to retire.


::giggles::

Awwww! Tom Brokaw's a fan! (or so I'm assuming)

hmmm... I must be feeling smappy today (I think it's the decongestant's fault)

My local paper has a handy little page in the entertainment section. It has the tv grid for that evening, plus a helpful summary of all the talk shows that are going to be on that day, with who's supposed to be on them.

I don't get Ellen DeGeneres show during the normal daytime hours, I only get that later repeats on Oxygen.

So, for today's talk show listings:

The Ellen DeGeneres Show (11 p.m., OXY) - Britney Spears performs; Tom Cavanagh ("Ed").

The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn (12:35 a.m., KVAL [our local cbs station]) - Actor Tom Cavanagh; actress Poppy Montgomery; musician JC Chasez.


So, not on Oxygen's late night repeat of Ellen's show, but he IS on with Craig Kilborn tonight!!

SQUEEEE!

You know those tankini swimsuits? With the tank top for the upper part & the bikini for the lower? I've always wanted one. But, I could never find one in my size.

EEEP! I get to wear a tankini!
