*To the new Justin Timberlake song; I think it's called "Limber". It was a good laugh. What a fun song. I love when he says "drums" in the middle.
**A McDonald's shake. And I was disappointed to learn that they are now making them all thick and creamy instead of the slightly-thicker-than-milk variety. I'm sure that pushed the fat/calorie total of it way up, and it wasn't even that good. So, McDonald's has screwed up the only thing they do right.
***I freaking love this song, even though the lyrics seem like they're written by a 14-year old.
****I used to like it. Not anymore.
*****And thank god.
******A little bit obsessive, eh? I wanted to ask them about Patty Griffin, who was covered on their last album ("Let Him Fly") and has two songs on this new album. I wanted to know how they hooked up, how they work together, and if they collaborate. Plus, I was really bored. The two hour show previewed the whole album, and it sounds really good. I may just have to buy it.
