Not to put too fine a point on it, say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

I have nothing interesting to say, I'm just procrastinating about going to work. Which is stupid because I have to get a report done for my Program Manager before his noon meeting. If I left now, I'd get to work somewhere between 9:45 - 10:00, depending on traffic. Not a lot of time to pull shit together for him... Not to mention that the later I get in, the later I come home.

Crap, I'd better just go.

Yesterday I listened to 'Birdhouse in Your Soul' by They Might Be Giants, like, 20 times in a row. I had taken my iPod to work and, for some reason, could not get enough of that song.

'Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired
If that were my job
After killing Jason off
And countless screaming Argonauts.'

Who can't love a song like that?

*feels your pain re:work* *HUGS*

Maybe my silly icon will make you feel better! I laughed out loud when I found it!

I <3 your icon! I always have the dumb.

My reluctance to go to work was increased exponentially by James' decision to take the day off - just because. So, I'm sitting here being all envious of his house-all-to-himself time. I know he's playing the Sims. I wanna play the Sims. *pout*

On the happy side, I believe Lost is on tonight! It wasn't on last week.

An on another note, I watched Ben Folds perform on a special on TV last night and now have his music running on repeat in my head. GAH!

[mugglechump.livejournal.com]

I don't know who that is. I may know his music and just not have a name associated with it. That's the case with me a lot of the time.

Today's repeatable song is Nemesis by Shriekback. Occasionally I am switching to the hybrid Eminem version - Eminemisis. That's fun to say. It will be on the CDs I'm burning for you.

So far, the 'to burn' list has:

2 Barry Louis Polisar CDs
Shriekback
Lowen & Navarro
Stephen Lynch
and a bunch of miscellaneous songs I have written down at home. Do you already have any of that or is there anything in particular you're looking for a copy of?

WHAT???????????? You don't know who BEN FOLDS is ??????????? DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN I MUST TAKE THE REST OF THE DAY OFF AND GO HOME TO BURN THE CDS FOR YOU!!!!!! /capslock of disbelief

I can't think of anything I specifically want :D I don't have anything that you're burning, hee...

*runs home to burn Ben Folds for you, since he's only the bestest EVAR!*

*is sheepish* Seriously, it often takes me years to associate songs with their performers if it's not a band I frequently listen to. I love music, but many, many things about songs elude my notice. A couple examples of my musical ineptitude:

It was maybe 10 years ago that I realized that the song 'Radar Love' is actually the one I'd been singing to for years, mistakenly thinking the lyrics were 'Red Alert'.

Around the same time, a man I worked with broke it to me that Lola was a man.

A few years ago, James explained the meaning of 'Dancing With Myself'.

About a week ago I called James (who is from the Memphis area and a big Elvis fan) and giggled embarrassedly as I told him I had just realized that the song 'Black Velvet' is about Elvis. I'd never paid that much attention to the lyrics.

So, yeah, I'm just pathetic.
