Oh I need in on this! My boss (whose desk is next to mine) has a habit of starting half sentences and then trailing off, distracting me from what I'm working on. "So, that website that..." "Hey, you remember when <Client Name> did that event..." "Uh, so about....that..." Finally one day I just snapped and said "FULL SENTENCES PLEASE!!!" ...ooops.

Hrm...maybe a rainbow quartz?

He looks like a vampire in this one, (or at least what I imagine a vampire to look like). An attractive vampire, but a vampire nonetheless.

I so need to hop on this bandwagon! Can I have #32 Happy Endings Circle, if it's not already occupied?

I'd never heard of him until I was sitting in a movie theatre waiting for my flick to start. They played the entire Grace Kelly video, and I distinctly remember watching it thinking "my God this is weird..." As the vid progressed, I sort of started thinking "yes, this is weird...but, strangely, I quite like it!" - this was at the point where he's sitting on the couch and they're sort of bopping their ankles in time to the beat, lol. At that point, I didn't really think of Mika's looks, other than the fact that he resembles my ex. I basically forgot about Mika, though, till the following weekend when a friend played "Grace Kelly" at a houseparty. After that, I went home and downloaded it off iTunes. I then went to YouTube to watch that bizarro video again. That was the turning point; I ended up watching a bunch of live performances. Then, I ended up listening to all the other tracks on LICM, which I bought a few days later. Then, I graduated from watching live performances to watching interviews...and that's when I realized how totally smitten I was. He is SO smart and SO likeable and SO articulate...the way he carries himself and the way he talks is just amazing. Anyhow I'm getting verbose (again), so to summarize, for me, it went: Who is this weird guy -> Hey this song is catchy -> Oh wow he's amazing live -> Oh wow he's freaking adorable -> Oh hells yeah, the whole CD is amazing -> OMG he's talented AND smart AND wonderful...swoon

Aha! Proof that Mika's romance is with a Norweigan! Yo Mika - I'm part Norwegian, and you can send me romantic text messages whenever you'd like

New life...one hand on her belly...is that foreshadowing I smell...?

I can't go a whole day. In fact, for the first month or so, even getting through an 8 hour workday was challenging. I had to take an LICM break at lunch

Hey guys - it seems you can only vote once a week, but it's per IP address...so if you go online from more than one computer (ie at home and at work/school), you can submit votes from each! Extra help for our man!

The most I've ever heard him say about it is in this interview; he starts talking about it at around 3:10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkvy3uIWNqM

It was a Saturday afternoon, Mika was preparing for a huge gig tonight. But, he was having a tough time deciding what to wear! See, his lucky red braces were broken, so...

Does anyone have any pics of Mika's dad? I mean, not awful paparazzi-jumping-out-of-a-bush pics, but maybe he was at a signing or something? Just curious to see the man who gave Mika those good genes...

True - however if one's ambition drives them to schedule gig after gig, a tube of cucumber eye cream might be nice at the end of a long night

Oh, so good!!! You can't leave us there. One more installment, then you can rest for the night, kay??

A long long time ago, there was a boy named Mika.. who got lost on his way to the fluffy rainbow He was really desperate and bought a map He had curly brown hair and big hazel eyes... When he giggled everyone giggled! But he didn`t find a map and he had to giggle his way thru life,but that didn``t really work,so,out of frustration and boredom, the little boy baught a bag of marshmellows and tested how many he can stuff in his mouth He bought a lollipop too, by the time he finished it, he reached a river with a magical troll and surprise!!! the troll was curly too! So they shook hands and mika said to the troll 'nice hair, what do u use to keep it so shiny?' They sat on the river bank and talked for ages until Elton John asked them over to tea ...like Mika had asked the tooth fairy for... chicken.lots of chicken After devouring their wholesome feast, the little boy skipped back though the forest, until... he encountered a crazed monkey named Chew Chew. Chew Chew was about to swipe Mika's lollipop, when Elton John suddenly returned, jumping between Mika and the Monkey! Elton John managed to scare away Chew chew and so the little boy continued on his way through the forest, where he met a girl in a pink dress (also with a lollipop). Together, the really really ridiclously good looking young man, and the adorably cute Lollipop girl skipped through the forest, suckin their lollipops, when they came across a plain white door in the middle of the forest... They open the door and.... they find themselves........ in Grace Kelly's bathroom, where she stands in her birthday suit, with a sad look on her face... Mika and lollipop girl ask Grace Kelly "Whats wrong?" and Grace says..... Grace turns to the boy (as though random little boys and lollipop girls appeared in her bathroom on a regular basis). "Look at me," she says wistfully. "It's 1954. I'm 25 years old. I'm an actress. But what am I really here for? I'm not married. I have no legacy...I mean, it's not like anyone will write a fabulous pop song about me..." She sighs heavily. Mika looks up and says..."wait a second, I think I have a piano in my pocket" said Mika, while he pulls from his pocket a full size grand piano and starts to play a wonderful tune.. Grace and lollipop girl watch this amazing boy belt out an amazing tune about grace kelly and suddenly, while this extraordinary boy is singing, the whole atmosphere and surroundings melts away, as if it was a painting, and the paint is being washed away, and suddenly, they find themselves on an enormous stage, with millions and millions and gazillions of screaming fans watching this amazing legend perform... Grace Kelly... and there is a plain white door on the side of the stage, with nothing on the other side, and the door opens and billy brown, big girl, more lollipop girls and chew chew and all the wonderful characters and thoughts and ideas that Mika has had in his beautiful head come out of the plain white door, as if all of Mikas imagination spills out on this canvas, to be exposed and shared with all of the world..... While Mika and all the character are in a happy mood, an elephant suddenly come out from the crowd. It's wearing a tutu! And Scott Mills is riding the elephant wearing a tutu! BUT!!!! Scott Mills is NAKED riding the elephant!!! Mika says "AAHH thats quite f***** scary!!!!" ... So then..... Mika blinks and the next thing he realizes, he's no longer a little boy but a dashing 23 year-old man. He finds himself laying on a beach chair by a pool. Surrounding him are people in fabulous brightly coloured swimsuits. A girl of about 17 walks up. "Where am I?" he asks her. She smiles. "Why Mika - you're in Mikatopia! Your own private paradise created for you by the members of Mika Fan Club."

So there's a thread going around about what you'd ask Mika if you were both drunk. I posted some questions, but then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it would be more like a running monologue than a series of questions. It would be something like this: Me: Oh mah gawd! You're Mika? Sit down on this bench with me, I have to tell you someshing. You are, like, fabulous. Cartoon Motion has saved me from a terrible life of BORINGNESH! Mika: Erm..oh really? Me: Yesh. It makes me think DEEP THOUGHTS. Like, about Chew Chew. You say that he tries to steal Lollipop Girl's lollipop, and SHE HAS NO IDEA WHY!!! Mika: Yeah, he's a bad f@$!in monkey. Me: But the REAL question is...does CHEW CHEW know why he'sh trying to shteal her lollipop? Like, is he DRIVEN by some PRIMAL INSTINCT? Or maybe he had a bad childhood experience? I bet that's it. Chew Chew is mishunderstood. Some bad monkeys hit him with lollipops when he was a kid, now he'sh just trying to take Lollipop Girl's lollipop away before she can shmack him with it. Mika: Uh...that was deep...*tries to back off the bench and falls on the floor*

This review was posted on thedailyreel.com by Jill Weinberger: ------------------------------------------------------------ Campy British sensation Mika has already been compared plenty to Freddie Mercury. "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" is unlikely to change that -- it's like a kinder, sweeter, disco-infused "Fat Bottomed Girls," joyfully performed on a sugar high. Bursting forth with color and energy, the video features Mika boisterously taking to the streets with a wide assortment of plus-sized women, dancing and cavorting in what looks like one of the most fun block parties ever. Skinny girls, watch out. Between this and A Fat Rant, the day of the big girl isn't just coming -- I think it's here. Sit back, have a donut, and enjoy.

Making Love Out of Nothing At All!! Yess! He could rock that song out the box! *silences inner Randy Jackson*

Aaah! Yes! But - have you heard the cover of it that Maxi Priest did, circa 1997? That one!

Ah, I love that interview! It's one of my faves. If I was slightly drunk and - he was slightly drunk as well, I'd ask: Are you aware that you have about three generations of women obsessing over suspenders, of all things? - he was drunk: What do you really hate most about your job? - he was wasted: How do you honestly stuff your package into those tight pants?? If I was drunk and - he was slightly drunk, I'd ask: What do you really, truly want out of the next five years? - he was drunk: Did you know your sister Allegra shares her name with an allergy medication? - he was wasted: I'd start ranting about how he looks just enough like my ex to be a bit weird. Then I'd start drunkenly babbling about how if he just got blond highlights or something, it would be better. If I was wasted and - he was slightly drunk : If you could be a kitchen utensil, what would you be and why? - he was drunk: Have you ever kissed a Canadian girl? How about now? - he was wasted: I'd look him in the eye with a very serious look on my face, and say the following: "Do you think Chew Chew prefers banana flavoured lollipops - y'know, being a monkey and all?" I get bad, bad verbal diarrhea when I drink. I just start talking and don't stop. So Me + booze + Mika = bad, bad idea!

My mom had an encounter with a bear in the '70s. She was driving down a highway, and people were pulled over to look at this big honkin' grizzly bear. It walked up to the car, so my mom did what anyone (!) would do; she rolled down the window and fed it a sandwich. When it realized there was no more sandwich, it reached up and swatted her. I bet that was SO Mika.
