Props to Sassy and my mom, who both told me that I had to hear the song Coin-Operated Boy because it made them both think of me. I’m not really sure what that says about me, but I must say that it is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. And yes, it would make me think it was written for me, so they were right on. Now where can I get me one of these coin-operated boys? (If you haven’t heard the song, it’s by the Dresden Dolls. WARNING: It has the ability to get stuck in your head for hours upon hours upon hours. Ooh, they’re coming to town next month – I just may have to go. Maybe I can perform my Coin-Operated Boy puppet dance for them. It’s quite…um…interesting.) “Coin-operated boy, he is just a toy sitting on the shelf…made of plastic and elastic – who could ever ever ask for more?”

Will someone please tell Ashlee Simpson that it’s okay to start lip-synching again? Please? We were flipping back and forth from MTV to ABC on New Year’s Eve and it seemed like every time we went back to ABC, Ms. Simpson was singing AGAIN, performing The Sound of 1000 Cats Crying: A Five Part Rock-Opera of Pain. I was rolling around, yelling, “Make it STOP!” (Funny, that’s also the same reaction I had when Lindsay Lohan sang recently on The Ellen Degeneres Show. OUCH. Stick to the acting, toots.) The scariest part about the whole Ashlee Simpson thing is that I saw her new video for that La La song the other day, and while I was busy shaking my head at her attempts to be a tough punk chick, something really BAD happened. I enjoyed that stupid-ass song. Why God, WHY??? I still like it now. Change the lyrics and the singer and it’s a good song. Now it’s in my head. Dammit. I’m off to weep now…. Quick, someone put on Coin-Operated Boy.

In other news, I was able to cross my first item off of The List! I didn’t expect to complete anything this soon, but I stumbled upon a mini-marathon of Airline on A&E Sunday night, so I TiVo’d it and watched them all on Monday. (And yes, I said TiVo’d. Did you know TiVo is trying to get people to stop using the word as a verb? They want to protect the brand name aspect of the whole thing. Suck it, TiVo. I TiVo’d it.) Anyway, this show rocks. I tuned in to the new episodes Monday night and am now a proud regular viewer.
Speaking of the list, #102: Buy a coin-operated boy. Ah, and now it has replaced the evil Simpson in my head. Bless you, Coin-Operated Boy.
