« UPDATE! The 4-Hour Party Mix (Aftermath) | Main | Miranda Lambert Gets You Drunk »
Here's a cool, highly suspect story from a British tabloid.
Apparently the Queen of England has been bogarting Prince William's Wii. She likes video bowling best. A real gadget freak, the 81-year-old royal also rocks a BlackBerry, a fancy cell phone...and yes, an iPod.
So c'mon, let's play. A silly little game to help delay any real work.
What's on the Queen of England's iPod?
Probably not the Sex Pistols...

I'm slow on this Monday ... too many carbs, too much wine over the weekend...

If this shows up twice I blame the internet for being a putz.
I'm sporatic and sluggish today. Lots of carbs and a little wine makes Marissa slow on the go.

My extensive contacts in the miltary intelligence tell me that due to intel-sharing argreements between MI6 and the CIA, she already has Sean's 4-Hour Party Mix.
It's good to be the queen...

You guys are so badass.
I've been swamped with nonbloggy stuff today and just managed to peak at Pop Life. What would I do w/o you guys???

Actually I think the Queen is into Old School Rap. I see her bouncing the crown to some 2 Live Crew and NWA.

sparky, you might be on to something...
I think QEII's got a hip side to her, which is why Sufjan Stevens' "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbours!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!" is on heavy rotation on ye olde Royal 'Pod.

Sean, you'd feel like such a lost soul without us! Your daily affirmation would be limited to snarky comments from Stephanie Hayes as she clicked by in her high heels...or the barrage of movie quotes by your buddy Steve Spears.
