So Alex bought me the new G N' R album--the mythical Chinese Democracy. At first, I was worried. After all this time, would Axl still have the magic? I opened 'er up and gave 'er a listen. Track One left me underwhelmed. Not bad, but not what I want after 50 thousand years of waiting. Thankfully, soon I got to track three. Ooooh, track three. It's called "Better," and you can check it out here. I think it's got more of that classic G N' R vibe. All in all, it's not a perfect album (hello, no Slash!), but it still makes me happy. It reminded me of a better time, before Axl looked like this. Just fyi, blog readers: I have not yet given up on my dream to front a GnR cover band. Just gotta find my Slash!One other noteworthy event happened to me this week: Bacon and eggs ice cream.
Yes, that's correct. Alex, Neal, and I went to this restaurant in Provo, and I ordered me some bacon and eggs ice cream for dessert. It was bacon ice cream with a piece of candied bacon on the side, complete with cinnamon toast rounds and a smear of chocolate sauce. Sound strange and disgusting, you say? Well, you'd only be partially right. I definitely was strange, but it was friggin' delicious. Really sweet, slightly salty and crunchy... perfect.
