The Collection of the King of Pop

This Saturday April 25, 2009, Julien's Auctions is auctioning off a plethora absurd amount of Michael Jackson's things from his Neverland Ranch.
An array of treasures from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch ranging from Michael Jackson's iconic white-jeweled glove to the grandiose entry gates to Neverland Ranch are being presented in a tour de force public exhibition boasting 1390 Lots conducted by Julien's Auctions. Beginning with a highlights tour to major cities worldwide, Julien's Auctions will host an 8 day museum quality exhibition at 9900 Wilshire adjacent to The Beverly Hilton open to the public on Tuesday April 14th through Tuesday April 21st 10am to 6pm PST daily. The auction begins on Wednesday, April 22nd and runs through Saturday April 25th at 9:00 am and 2pm PST daily.
One might wonder, what all is being auction off? Well, worry no more. They have made a 5 catalog complete display of EVERYTHING that is being auctioned.

It's definitely worth a gander...
And if you are feeling exceptionally overindulgent, then you can buy the actual catalog for an asinine price of $200 for the entire collection.
(warning: they may already be sold out)


Speaking of collections, if anyone wants to go in on a Galaga/Ms. Pacman machine then let me know

American Idol

Before this year, I had never watched American Idol. Sure, I'd catch glimpses here and there, but never go out of my way to take it all in.

Now since the inception and miracle that is DVR at my house, Trisha and I watch it most nights. We didn't get to see it last night (Uncle Sam was calling and we were running out of time) so today I decided to browse around and find out a general idea of what went on.

The first article that jumped out to me was one on MTV (which may negate any relevance of my interest) but as I was reading, there was one line that made me laugh out loud.
While Randy jibber-jabbers, Kara rambles about “package artists” and Paula reads from fortune cookies, Simon’s opinion, to many, is the only opinion worth listening to.* (MTV Newsroom)
Paula reads from fortune cookies...indeed she does...

You make music long time
