I pretty much peed my pants -- OK, not really, that's gross -- when I learned Journey tribute band Chain Reaction is performing at The Roadhouse Saturday night.
Many of you have probably watched me dance to "Any Way You Want It." I apologize for that.
My fascination with Journey is weird. I used to laugh when my college roommate, Benita, busted out her Journey CD. Then, possibly overnight, an obsession with the band hit me.
Now, Journey fever is back in full effect, thanks to the band's new frontman. Who, incidentally, was discovered via YouTube. Get the whole story in this excellent TIME article.
Anyway, don't stop believing.
(Saturday's Chain Reaction show, by the way, starts at 10 p.m. Cover is $5. The bar's at 1047 Broadway.)

the monday moan
Today's question is the real headline of this interesting article:
"Are men boring?"
The premise: The article suggests that in social situations, men add less to conversations -- for a variety of reasons.
What do you think, ladies? How do your conversation skills compare to your significant other's?
And guys...what are your thoughts on the aforementioned article?

the other beer
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was fantastic, and you'll hear all about it later.
Unfortunately, I'm a little swamped with work right now, so I'll leave you with a bit of sweet news.
A&W is offering free root beer floats today, supposedly to provide some economic relief to our nation. Read more here.
Drink away, bitches.

what's going on this weekend?
Hey guys...a few random weekend thoughts:
*Bored? Check out these billboards, which come with a disclaimer that "uncorrupted souls will see nothing devilish within these ads, while adults and pervs will see the illusion almost immediately."
*I'm thinking of playing put-put tonight. If that idea made you want to go all "Caddyshack" on my ass, check out this local mini golf venue, and this one, too.
*This weekend's entertainment highlight? Appetite for Destruction, a Guns N' Roses tribute band, plays at The Roadhouse Saturday night. Cover is $10, show starts at 10 p.m.
*If you still haven't checked out Aqua Nightclub, formerly Memory Lane, remember that the hot spot has no-cover Fridays featuring Dance Parties with DJ Kirk. Saturdays are also dance party nights, with a $5 cover and free entry before 9 p.m.
*Remember that Aqua hosts the Chippendales dancers June 27. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Call 706-358-7128. (Don't worry...a column will follow shortly.)
*Speaking of new (slightly more family-friendly) events, Italian restaurant Villa Nova, 7500 Veterans Parkway, opens its doors to diners this weekend with a performance by Scott the sing-a-long pianist. He'll be there Friday and Saturday, 8 p.m. to midnight. Intriguing.
Have fun!

TGIF!
It's Friday, which means you're probably spending at least 30 minutes of valuable company time on the social networking site of your choice.
Or else.
Some 39 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds would leave their job if a Facebook ban was imposed, survey results in this article say.
What do you think? Are we part of a generation of spoiled, lazy workers? Or has Facebook grown to be part of the professional equation?

old school
Check out this real 1930s Marital Rating Scale, women's edition. Rate yourself accordingly, and then be glad we live in a society where (in most places) you don't get relationship demerits for wearing red nail polish.
