(scroll down for shuffle meme from Yaga & Kenny)
Pondering many things today including how it still feels like morning eventhough it's squarely in the afternoon. From a work perspective this is bad because I need to be turning in my work, not feeling like I'm just starting. Shit has been getting done, though more slowly than I like.
Have yet to find the time to track down odds and ends of data that I need for finishing my taxes. Urg.
Weekend was a good 'un. Hangin', chillin', eatin', dancin', sleepin', more hangin' and chillin'. Good shit. Finally watched Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle after forcing Space Dog to watch Dude, Where's My Car and was tickled to hear the title of one movie repeated seriously in the other. Finally also watched Ice Age. Intriguing. A little kid's movie about scarcity, ethics, revenge and honor. Not what I was expecting, so cool, cool. }:>
Ate too much over the weekend. Always annoying, but the upside being I found some good places for food - Royal Buffet, a big Chinese place just off the 405, and Johnny Reb's a good place for barbeque and ostensibly authentic Southern food (don't ask me, I dunno).
Got to be a titch more social than I have been recently. Saw Ms Faerie and the Ice Cream Assassin over Chinese and played with the kitties they're housing for a little while. Gosh darn cute little buggers! They're maybe three weeks old and sound like squeak toys.
Tore apart my closet trying to find something good for Bar Sinister which ended up not being as crowded as I was fearing. Joined MK and RB for teh dancey and was hoping to see the glitterfaery again but it was not to be. Enjoyed dancing up a storm, got drunk ("A double Jameson - honey, are you sure?") and did my best to ply Faith with drinks. Encountered Loki and hit IHOP afterwords as my dinner idea (plastered though it was) of bacon wrapped hotdogs was summarily nixed.
Kay that was totally out of order, but it was fun!

Music responsible for the state of my brain patterns:
Create your own Music List @ HotFreeLayouts!
Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
(That goes for you when transcribing the lyrics, as well as for the guessers! Remember: embarassment is no excuse here.)
N.B. I'm not going to try to transcribe that have no words, nonsensical words buried in the music, or entirely in languages I don't know. Sorry.
I'll repost unguessed stuff on Wed. I'll post the answers on Friday.
1. Transmission/third world or third round/a decade of the weapon of sound/punk power. (N.B.- boy, I just have no idea)
2.Witness these scenes/at the end of the century/city animals, urban creatures/on the streets of London,/something wicked this way comes.
3. Desperanto spoken here/today I hear it everywhere.
Musical interlude courtesy "The Frail" (live) by Nine Inch Nails
4. You knocked me out,/ you bit my lip,/you held me down and kept me sober.
Musical interlude: "Will o' the Wisp," by Miles Davis (Sketches of Spain).
5. Flaxen hair blowing in the breeze,/it is time for the geese to head south.
6. (hh Jackie O, ehh Jackie O, hey Jackie O) A Bouvier till her wedding day, the shots rang out, the police came, momma laid me on the front lawn...
Musical interlude: "A Violet Fluid," Nine Inch Nails (Downward Spiral: 10th anniversary edition)
7. We gotta kick em out. Well I feel plenty good and I guess that I could get crazy now, baby.
8. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again.
9. I want to bathe in milk/eat grapes/Robert de Niro will sit on my face.
10. Manos arriba, quienes quiren, a próxima se reunirse capacitaz ser. (I... think)
11. I can't believe it,/the way you look sometimes/like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah.
12. "Exits to freeways twisted like knots on the fingers, jewels cleaving skin between breasts."
Skipped "Murder Mystery" by the Velvet Underground because I'm not sure how it's in my music but it's a really annoying song, And the words are pure babble.
13. Hold on to my love./You know I can't stay long,/all I wanted to say is I love you and I'm not afraid.
14. Sometimes when I'm alone/I imagine that the world is a mirror/and in my mind's eye I behold my dark inner nature.
Musical interlude: "Saltarello," Dead Can Dance
15. On a cobweb, afternoon, in a room full of emptiness, by a freeway...
16. and I don't drink whiskey but I'm crazy about my gal/and I don't drink whiskey but I'm crazy about my gal/this is 1928 and it must be a brand new year
17. This is a story of a big dog, for the dog who chases his tail will be dizzy.
I just can't be bothered to try to puzzle out the few words of "Compulsion" by In the Nursery. Mostly this guy repeats "compell me" and there are others from time to time but I can't understand them. The music is interesting and fun.
Further musical interlude of "Kyrie" from Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. It's an excerpt pulled for the Immortal Beloved soundtrack and profoundly beautiful. But see, the name of the track is repeated three times before any other words are sung. So I'm just noting it before moving on.
Continued interlude: "Bird," Dead Can Dance
18. turn up the radio (x3) I play on the radio/it wasn't long before I think of you.
19. I can see it out my window,/that stupid sunshine in those trees./A voice/it cuts me down and/I try to shut it up but I can't let it go, oh!
20. Damn your chest beating, just you stop your screaming, it's splitting through my head and swinging from the cieling.
Interlude of A Perfect Circle's "Lullaby" which opens with the line "go back to sleep" repeated several times, fading into the musical mix.
21. There are things that I said I would never do. There are things I cannot believe that they're true.
22. Falling, I'm falling. (repeat) Have you ever walked through a room/only it was like the room passed around you/like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through.
23. I'm the man in the box, buried in my shit. Won't you come and save me.
24. Again we end the ten(?) all by greasy dead(?), worked to the bone, again. (Sorry, I just don't know. People didn't know how to balance mic volume against feedback loops back in the day.)
25. I see the real you. It put me in my place.
26. We move like cagey tigers/oh, we couldn't get closer than this.
27. woman(?) is an angel in the place where I was born, (?)living in hell(?), living in heaven.
28. Si crees que se le esta acaban el bueno honor(?), esto esta comenzando.
29. You can't get through it/you can't over it/you can't get around
ok... I have to skip the next song cause it's in German: "Annie Doesn't Live Here Anymore," Marlene Dietrich
More skippage: "Domine Jesu" from Mozart's Requiem. The words are all in Latin.
30. I am sitting/I am apart/I am growing up/in the fucking dark. (I think)

Found out a couple things recently, regarding music I like:
PJ Harvey will be releasing a concert DVD at the beginning of May.
Tool will be playing at Coachella at the end of this month. I was wondering if this might kick off a national tour as Nine Inch Nails did last year. Today I found that while I'm not sure of the scope of the release, they will release new music next month. So hopefully this will in fact lead to a tour in fall.
Later this month a local philharmonic group will be presenting several of Beethoven's works including his 9th Symphony here in Pasadena, and I'm thinking I'm interested.
On the 25th I'll head to Santa Ana to see 30 Seconds to Mars. Looks like they're sold out - you can't buy tickets at Ticketmaster anymore.
I'm thinking while I have some money I may pick up a couple of tickets to a show on the 24th for Rob Zombie and Lacuna Coil among others, on the same night. I only know some of their music but I've been wanting to see them live. If anyone is interested drop me a line, maybe I can be sweet-talked into comping your ticket. }:>
