The Cynic Says……

Marilyn Manson’s new CD “The Golden Age of Grotesque” is surprisingly good… I can’t say I’ve been much of a fan since his song “The Beautiful People”, but this one is a VERY good CD… I downloaded it last night and must say I’m impressed. Too bad the rest of his stuff isn’t this good. A smattering of classic lines (such as “You are the church/I am the steeple/When we fuck, we are all God’s people..”) makes it even better. He’s always been well known for his shock value and he definitely does well in that respect on this CD. I’d definitely recommend it for any Manson fans… and even for some people who had written him off as just a faded out shock rocker. Currently, as I type this, I’m listening to Hanzel und Gretyl’s newest CD “Uber Alles” from beginning to end, which I have yet to do. It’s not quite as good as the Manson CD, but I definitely dig the guitar riffs and the screaming Americanized German lyrics. Oh well… I also picked up a 750mL bottle of Ketel One vodka for $16.50 tonight, which is nearly $4 off.. I just couldn’t pass that deal up. I <3 vodka, especially GOOD vodka. One of the guys at the liquor store said it was one of the best vodkas he’d ever had and would definitely recommend it. I’ll try it out later and report back on how good it really is. Obviously the only way to tell just how good a vodka is…. shoot it straight. I tried some Vox at Fiction one time and it’s fucking amazing. I’d almost NOT mix it… that’s how good it is. Only problem is that it’s $27 for a 750mL bottle. I’ll be mixing the Ketel One with some Tropicana Twister, the flavors of which escape me at the moment. I wish I had someone to drink with, which is why I’m waiting for this chick Megan that Steve is talking to. She said she was coming back @ 10:30, but she’s not back yet. I know she can/will drink, as I’ve seen her nail 7 beers and a shot of straight 151 proof rum. Phil’s supposedly having this Carrie chick from his work coming over. I saw her when I worked there for my whopping week and a half.. she’s reasonably cute, except for the fact that her ass looks like the underpants gnomes have been playing golf back there and not replacing their divots… cottage cheese anyone? I thought cottage cheese was only supposed to be used in lasagna & with pineapples. Oh, well… that’s all I have to say for now.. I’ll continue to update throughout the night.. perhaps a post or two while drunk as fuck. This might be interesting.
