Happy Birthday Homewrecker! And some other random schtuff

Today is Alicia Keys' birthday. I stand by the fact that she is a homewrecker. But I still like her music.

In other news, for those in the Northeast Tri-State area, did you guys see this?

how crazy is that?! Looks like from a movie!

The owner of the car, identified by 1010Wins as Pete, said he left his car parked on Friday night and that at some point during the weekend the [water main] leak began -- slowly turning his vehicle into an ice sculpture.


Many commuters braving the biting, 19 degree weather Monday, paused their commute to gather around and take picture of the cover blanketed by six inches of ice.
The New York Department of Environmental Protection shut off water to the surrounding residences mid-morning to begin fixing the pipe. (from here)

Silver lining is that NYC had to defrost his car, and pay for any damages. Which is good, because once they could open the doors, they turned it on to defrost the windows, and the windows BURST. So, they gotta get him new windows. But he's ok-- he was more upset that the Jets lost than his car being covered in ice!

Also for those in the Northeast (or who listen to Nick Cannon's radio show via web)....
Ugh. He is soooo annoying and dumb and seriously is only famous because of Mariah. There is no way he could have a radio show before her, because he's an idiot. (This is also why I don't listen to radio in the morning- the shows are either gross or filled with idiocy...but ANYway.) So I tuned in this morning and his question was this:

Ladies, if a guy buys you a drink in a club/bar (not just pays for it, but actually comes up to you with a drink), do you take it and drink it or not?

Well that seems like an easy answer: HELL NO. You don't know what that guy did to the drink. He could've put roofies in it. You didn't see it being made- obviously don't drink it.

The chick on the show said the same thing. (She also noted that the guy didn't ask you what you wanted, it's some random drink...how rude!) I understand that people have different opinions (why else would it be a topic on a radio show), and that maybe there should be a devil's advocate type, but Nick Cannon was seriously defending the idea! He shot down the chick's answer saying- oh you're just saying that for our young listeners out there. Yeah, this is a Public Service Announcement, the Early Afternoon Special, blah blah blah. But for the GROWN ADULTS out there...do you know how expensive drinks are in this city? He's just trying to talk to you, blah blah blah....

OMG.
Um, first of all the "grown adults" are the only ones who should be involved in this conversation, being that you have to be 21+ to drink. Duh. And "grown adults" are also the ones who still DO take drinks from strangers and are getting hurt/hospitalized/etc.! If you're worried about not being able to afford your own drinks, then maybe you shouldn't be out in the first place. Just sayin.

After playing a song, he came back on with a completely changed tune-- yeah ladies, don't drink the juice if he buys it for you without you seeing it, blah blah blah.

I guess one of the producers had to have a little chat with him.
