The Wait is Killing Me

Nothing can truly be as torturous as the dreary act of waiting. More so when you’ve foreseen the potential greatness of what’s to come. In this case, it’s the potential greatness of two prime examples of why pop culture truly is the most wonderful thing on this planet.

Case No. 1

“It’s about time!” I shouted out loud as the magical click of the button revealed one of these week’s greatest treasures to me. Mark your calendars, friends. May 25, 2009 is the day that the Phoenix will rise from the recording studio and reveal their highly anticipated fourth album, Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix.


As a way to satiate us hungry followers, the band has made the first single, 1901, available for free download. Now isn’t that a sweet thing to do? I am smitten, oh yes, I am!

Case No. 2

Normally, any movie with Joseph Gordon Levitt in it will be called an instant favorite. But throw in Zooey Deschanel, a heart-wrenching break up and anti-romantic comedy into the mix, and you’ve got a rabid fangirl in me, who has to wait until Lord knows when for the worldwide theatrical release of 500 Days of Summer. (The movie’s opening in July for folks in the States.)

And now we can all heave a collective sigh over the prospect of the long wait.
