VERSE 1
Just look me in the eye and tell me baby where are you going, where you going
You tell me in a way without me ever really knowin, really knowin
And though I try, though I try, though I try to relax it’s getting hard to hold back
You got a talent girl you know just how to get what you’re wanting, what you’re wanting

PRE CHORUS
I’ve come across your kind before
But you’re not gonna fool me rich girl
No more than…

CHORUS
ONE TIME
Shame of you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit too much of his wealth
Give it to me now
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!

VERSE 2
I should have known from the moment when you walked in the door still wearing your shades
That you were gonna have some trouble knowing how to behave child, behave child
Ooo you got money, got style, got a body, but I can’t locate a soul
Come on honey don’t fool me like you did before

PRE CHORUS
I’ve come across your kind before
And you’re not gonna fool me rich girl
No more than..

CHORUS
ONE TIME
Shame on you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit too much of his wealth
Give it to me now
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!
For sharing just a little bit, oh just a little bit…

BRIDGE
More than he should have when you cried to him “please” and the tears they ran down your face
And he caved and he gave you all that money could buy and now I’m standing right here trying to take his place

CHORUS
You can fool me baby..
ONE TIME
Shame of you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit, just a little bit
CHORUS
ONE TIME
Shame of you
TWO TIMES
Shame on myself
THREE TIMES
Shame on your daddy
For sharing just a little bit too much of his wealth
Give it to me now
Shame!

Lately Watching

In the sparse time I have free I’ve run through a few series of shows/movies.

  • Sherlock – Three 90 minute episodes all of which are great. Highly recommend it. A modern retelling of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Incredibly well done.
  • The IT Crowd – Comedy, 4 seasons but every season is very short. Great for techy type people.
  • Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood – 100002873493874932847392x better than the original series. If you kind of liked the first one, this one (more accurate to the manga) is much much better. 64 episodes.
  • Archer – On FX. Totally hilarious. If you loved Frisky Dingo it’s in the same vein except with a super secret spy agency.
  • Trigun Badlands Rumble – If you liked Trigun it’s worth watching. It feels like an extended episode and feels out of place if you watched the series but it’s still enjoyable.
  • All Star Superman – Enjoyable, I hear it’s a much abbreviated version of the comic.
  • Young Justice – Ongoing series on Cartoon Network. I really like all the DC animated series. This one has some cool promise going on.

I have a list a million miles long of stuff I have people wanting me to watch. Community, Big Bang Theory, The Wire, Baki the Grappler, 30 Rock, The Office, Mad Men. So much stuff! Hopefully after the summer everything will settle and I’ll have time to start going through the list.

Iron Man 2 Review

The quick rundown is I liked it. Wasn’t horrible wasn’t the greatest super hero movie ever but worth my 7 bucks or whatever movies are now. I think there are maybe 2 types of people who won’t like this flick, people who are super hardcore Iron Man fans and people who are super movie aficionados.

Spoilers Below

They do kind of have a lot of stuff going on in this movie but I only actually think one thing was  unnecessary. The part where he’s being poisoned by the arc reactor seemed like a way just to pull in random elements and it was resolved in such a quick manner it seems to almost downplay how severe that condition actually was.

Stories they played:

  • Arc reactor poisoning
  • Russian guy hatred
  • Hammer hatred
  • CEO change
  • Father hates me
  • Building War Machine
  • Scarlett Johansson spy
  • US wants Iron Man
  • S.H.I.E.L.D. recruitement

A lot of those things are linked together but I guess the overall feeling after watching it is that the pacing is so fast and the story is only weakly held together that it feels like you’re just running from scene to scene. The bit with recruiting for S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers is so weird since Iron Man is a part of that team and it doesn’t seem like he’s reluctant to join in the continuities I’ve read/watched. The post credits part wasn’t as big as a reveal or teaser as much as I would have liked though.

Ok anyway, that’s the bad stuff. It had great action scenes. The racetrack at Monaco was incredible. Rhode vs Stark was cool, Black Widow infiltrating Hammer Industries was totally great and the final action sequence was also very cool. The final battle was short but at the same time an event happens where you think “He should have done that first” and then the final battle pops up and it resolves rapidly so you think “Oh well ok I was hoping for more action but then again I just said he should have done this thing first to end it fast so I guess I see what happens when I get what I ask for.”

I hear Iron Man 3 might have Mandarin in it which might be really wild since he’s basically a crazy Chinese guy with 10 rings from an alien race that grant him totally incredible powers practically through magic. So I’m not so sure how they’ll make it more believable for live action. Hopefully IM3 is a much more focused story keeping all the action from IM2.

Inglourious Basterds Review

Finally got around to seeing it and really enjoyed it. Possibly spoilery review past the break.

Desert Punk: Review

I don’t know where I even saw the advertisement for Desert Punk, and no one I know had seen it. But somehow, since I’m on a run for short series, I watched it because it was only 24 episodes.

The basic premise is that the guy is a mercenary in the desert far far into the future after nuclear war has destroyed the Earth. He’s this shrimpy guy but also somehow totally awesome. So the show follows his exploits as he does various jobs.

The show starts out pretty great and is very entertaining for a while, then at the point I hit the ending it all goes downhill. The show goes through what I now call “being Kenshin’ed” as apparently the show diverts from the manga and ends in a way that doesn’t make sense what-so-ever. Characters change radically in 6 episodes and the ending is just so horrible that I would only ever recommend the first 18 episodes and maybe try to read the manga, though I have yet to do that yet to see if the manga ending is any better.

Perhaps calling it Kenshin’ed is too harsh since the filler to Kenshin was just boring and not a horrible rewrite of all that I loved about the show.

Anyway, the show’s first 18 episodes are good, the last 6 are terrible. If you’re really bored you could watch it but without a true ending the show isn’t as memorable as the last few series I’ve been watching (Gurren Lagann and Last Exile).

Last.fm vs Pandora Update

Well I was supposed to be using Last.fm at work and Pandora at home, but I’ve since just stuck with Pandora. The simplified interface makes it much easier to customize stations whereas in last.fm it’s a bit more complex than it seems like it has to be, certainly when compared to Pandora. Maybe I’ll give last.fm another shot, but Pandora’s simplicity seems like it’s too hard to beat.

Transformers 2 Review

I think the RSS feed cheats and gives the full story anyway.  Spoilers below though and if you’re reading on a feed just skip past.

Video Time

Rock Band adds some bands you never heard of and you end up loving them. Last time with the Lochley pack it totally ruled. This week they’re adding in a band I’ve never heard of but the first song sounds great! Can’t wait!


Street Fighter 4 fever is making full swing it’s last week before it hits shelves. This trailer has me at the edge of my seat. Kind of wondering what the opening theme will be for the American version though. I do like the catchy Japanese one.
