I know, I know. I'm late. Blame finals. That's right, I'm still in school. I still have an unsettling amount of pages to write before I can leave this place and return home to NYC. Sweet, blessed NYC.
So, yeah. It's June! Hooray for summer!! I went to Six Flags the other day. It wasn't quite the usual experience; I don't think it's warm enough yet here in Chicago to fully appreciate Hurricane Harbor. But, it was fun. Up until the part where my bag was stolen. Mmhmm.
This month, Crystal Kay releases her new single, 涙のさきに (Namida no Saki ni) from what I'm sure will be her fantastic forthcoming album. The video for the single is sort of like the こんなに近くで (Konna ni Chikaku de) video, except on crack. But Kuri looks good, channeling Michael (always a good idea), and stepping out of her box.
The Incredible Hulk smashes into theaters this weekend. The trailers look good, and honestly, it really couldn't be any worse than that other Hulk movie. Rumor has it that Marvel is setting up a film adaptation of The Avengers, with Ed Norton and Robert Downey Jr. reprising their roles as the Hulk and Iron Man, respectively. Sounds hot.
Finally, industry darling Rihanna repackages last year's Good Girl Gone Bad with a few extra songs. Lead single Take A Bow has already been a #1 hit, her collaboration with Maroon 5 has been well received, and I'm really starting to dig Disturbia. Can she do no wrong?
Enjoy June, bitches!! Hopefully I can manage a return to form over the summer months and update this sucka a little more regularly. Maybe, maybe not. ^_^

It's been May for an entire week already. Bitch.
So, I'm almost a week late in writing my "It's May, Bitch" post. What can I say? May kinda snuck up on me. There's not really very much going on in the music scene this month, with a few heavy hitters releasing albums last month. Hopefully they're good enough to keep us satisfied until June, which will at least see a single from Crystal Kay (all the music I need).
While May doesn't mean much for music this year, it does signal the start of the summer blockbuster season, which started strong with Marvel's Iron Man. I have yet to see it, but with a current rating of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and a $100 million dollar opening weekend in the US alone, I think it's safe to say that Mr. Stark delivers on the hype. Sound off if you've seen it.
May 19th sees the release of Nintendo's brainchild Wii Fit in the US. Though I most likely won't be purchasing this day of, or in the foreseeable future even, it will undoubtedly be something to talk about this month, especially if the rumors of it making it onto the Oprah show come true. America is a fat country, among other things.
Ah, and finally, the girls who brunch are coming back in a big way on May 30th, and I can NOT wait. Sex and the City: The Movie is definitely my most anticipated film of the year; I need Samantha Jones back in my life. My bestie thinks I'm waiting until school ends nearly three weeks after the flick comes out to see it with him, but he's sadly mistaken. Hopefully it's good enough that I'll have seen it three times by then.
So, I know it's a bit belated but, Happy May, bitches. Thanks for reading! ^_^
