jlhSaw Sideways last night with CC&R and LOVED IT. SO funny, and so real in so many ways, and now I have even more of a crush on Paul Giamatti (who apparently is the son of Bart Giamatti and went to Choate and Yale).
I have also finished the crossword, though I fear that my week long battle against illness has been lost at last. I have a horrid cough that makes my head hurt, I'm sneezing like crazy and weaker than ever. I get up, clean for about half an hour, then collapse back onto the couch for an hour and a half. However, the bathroom is cleaned and the kitchen nearly so.
I have adium now and I'm loving it as I have good sounds and animated smilies and tabbed chat windows and AIM and YM both open so I talk to my friend P (who is on AIM) a lot more often. But I am on the verge of never starting any conversations with anyone online ever again. I keep pinging people who are not actually online which is so frustrating I have no words, as of course my first thought is, are they ignoring me? and then my second is, oh, I'm clearly a moron and now they will have an offline message from me and think, "I wish Clio would stop pinging me so moronically" and then they WILL ignore me. It's like this big tease, where YM tells me someone is online when they are not, or that they are not online when they are, or something. Anyway, if you want to talk to me, please ping me if you see me online.
What my lyric meme showed me, which I sort of already knew, is that I'm an album person rather than a single person. I've always loved album cuts and I feel like greatest hits are cheating, a bit. After all, the singles are not so much the best songs as the ones that the record company thought radio would love. On the other hand, ain't no way I'm buying 30-odd Elton John records, so I get it. It's just not what I like to do. I wonder if the other people who did the meme edited out the album tracks, or just don't have them on their ipod?
1. Promises are carved out of love, with a fire in the heart. "Soul Mistake", INXS
18. Millions played at monopoly, rolling the dice of their lives. "OId World, New World", INXS
Okay, all y'all that are liking the 80s music need to pick up Shabooh Shoobah like, now. The singles were "Don't Change" and "The One Thing" but the cd is great from start to finish.
7. Touches everything I have and it never goes away. "Music", Madonna
It was almost impossible to find a lyric in this song that wasn't a gimme but I guess I tried a little too hard.
10. All's fair in passion and war, but my disadvantage is, I fell in love. "When Love Goes to War", Berlin
I admit, I would have fallen dead over if someone had got this, but I was tired of skipping album cuts and obscurities. It's from their not-very-good third album.
11. You come from far away, with pictures in your eyes. "Gypsy", Suzanne Vega
This just means that neither Josh nor Ivy saw the meme.
16. The wounds she gave me were the wounds that would heal me "I Was Brought to My Senses", Sting
Good on you for not listening to late Sting, though I do really like this song.
17. Catch me if you can but don't delay. "Today", Talk Talk
This song mysteriously came on the TV-radio while I was writing this post. If you liked that No Doubt cover of "It's My Life" then I urge you to pick up "Natural History: The Very Best of Talk Talk".
