Random Lists

I couldn't sleep tonight - probably because I slept all day - so I decided to make some seriously random lists:


It started when I was reading an article about Jorge Garcia (Hurley from "Lost"), who's on the cover of the new Weezer album named, appropriately, "Hurley." As such, he was asked to name his five favorite Weezer songs. I found his list somewhat lacking in Weezer knowledge: if "Hash Pipe" is your favorite Weezer song, you're clearly not an actual Weezer fan. I mean, I'm not a snob about these things, particularly with Weezer - I've only owned maybe half their records, and none the past few years - but if you were to make a list of the top 40 Weezer songs, would "Hash Pipe" even make the list? I don't hold that against Garcia - he's gotten thrown into this pretty recently, and purely by accident - but I thought it was worth making my own list.

Favorite Weezer Songs
5. Glorious Day
4. Perfect Situation
3. Only In Dreams
2. El Scorcho
1. Say It Ain't So


Which just led me to keep making lists:

Favorite Gay Musicians
5. Sara
4. Tegan
3. Rufus Wainwright
2. Jennifer Knapp
1. Elton John


Disqualified for being dead: Freddie Mercury

Favorite TV Shows that ended their runs too soon
5. Pushing Daisies
4. Wonderfalls
3. Firefly
2. Freaks and Geeks
1. Arrested Development


Favorite TV Shows that ended their runs too late:
5. That 70's Show
4. Boy Meets World
3. The Simpsons (ongoing)
2. Gilmore Girls
1. The West Wing


Favorite Shows that ended their runs perfectly
(This turned out to be really rare)
3. Battlestar Galactica
2. Lost
1. The Office (British)

Well, that's enough for now. I might add more later.
