Put your mp3 player/phone/streaming collection on shuffle and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results.

Just as I thought it was goin' alright
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk?
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
I like where we are
I know a place

Well, you can't place faith in material things
Following every time
I've got a lot of thoughts
Joey
Here we go

Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling
There's a new dance that's going around
Okay what is it tonight?
If she wants to dance and drink all night
Panic on the streets of London

When I die and they lay me to rest
Sorrow found me when I was young
If you think I'm magical
Maybe I've forgotten
Time, time, time

( List of songs )

I swear I have songs newer than 1990, but this is what kept coming up on shuffle.

Current Mood: fine

My mom and stepfather are in the process of moving, so I went over to the house today to root around for anything I may have left behind when I moved out. What I found was a pile of old vinyl 45's from my early teen years. I've decided to share my humiliation with you. Personally, I don't think anyone should be held accountable for their musical taste before their college years, so please don't hold any of these songs against me.

( ::hangs head in shame:: )

Yeah, these are going to Half Price Books.

Current Mood: embarrassed

Current Mood: fine

I had a ticket to see Band From TV in Madison last November, but the venue canceled the show the day before for no reason that I ever heard. I finally got to see them last night in Chicago. And as an added bonus, they brought Hugh Laurie with them this time. He hadn't been scheduled for the Madison show.

They've been everywhere this weekend. I passed on the Navy Pier and Grant Park shows in favor of the Vic, because the other shows had seating (or standing) on pretty much the same level as the band, and I'm only 5'3". There's no way I'd be able to see over or around everybody else.

Current Mood: excited

I had a ticket for the Band From TV show in Madison tomorrow night. It's the first time they've played the midwest. I was planning on staring at Jesse Spencer in a creepy and stalkerlike manner until his image was permanently burned onto my retinas. Oh yeah, and Adrian Pasdar was going to be standing right next to him.

However, Greg Grunberg just Tweeted that the band was actually boarding the plane to come here when the venue called and canceled. There's a note that the show has been canceled on the venue's website, but no explanation as to why. I mean, it's not like a tornado blew through town tonight or anything. Yes, I'm being issued a refund, but that is so not the point. If you're going to pull the rug out from under me less than 24 hours before the show, then I think I at least deserve an explanation.

Current Mood: disappointed

The songs I hate getting stuck in my head the most are the ones that I don't know all the words to. Or worse, songs that I only know about two lines of. Then instead of getting the whole song stuck on repeat in my head all day long, I end up with just those two lines repeating over and over and over again. It's crazy-making.

Of course, if you need an earworm cured, my BF will be happy to sing "It's a Small World" to you until that gets stuck in your head instead. Ask me how I know this.

Current Mood: accomplished
