hmm

Well, I went to work today for a few hours. It's always fun playing catch-up. Another guy started in our group while I was gone. He's older and likes cobol and doesn't know Perl. Scary.

I was ravenously hungry at 6pm so I left work and went to Blue C for dinner. I like how I can get 8 dishes at Blue C for the price of the 4 dishes I got at the kaiten place in NYC.

I'm probly going to try to go to sleep soon, even though it's only like 9pm west coast time. It'll be weird falling asleep without a goodnight hug from Nick, but I guess I'll survive.

I'll have to go shopping this weekend for shoes and take into account some of those suggestions.

Oh yeah, and while I'm at it, I like that "five songs you despise by bands you otherwise adore" meme, so here's my answer, mostly based on "I tend to skip this song when I listen to the CD":

1) Eddie From Ohio -- "Let's Get Mesolithic"
2) Moxy Fruvous -- it's a tie between "No No Raja" and "Sahara"
3) TMBG - the entire album Mink Car, except for "Drink"
4) Great Big Sea -- "Lukey"
5) Beautiful South -- "Don't Marry Her"

I think the counter meme would be "name 5 songs that you almost always press repeat on the CD and sing along to a second time" --

1) The Pogues, "Fairytale of New York"
2) Puffy, "これが私の生きる道"
3) Aiko, "桜の時"
4) Eddie From Ohio, "Fly South"
5) Indigo Girls, "Watershed"

1) Eddie From Ohio -- "Let's Get Mesolithic"

I think that song is pretty much universally hated among EFO fans. :)

2) Moxy Fruvous -- it's a tie between "No No Raja" and "Sahara"

not a fan of the doumbek, eh?

Yeah, the production on the whole album is pretty terrible, I think. Lee doesn't suffer so much because it's basically just piano and vocals.

And yeah, oddly, I feel like "Love Set Fire" is dead weight, but "Lee" is good.

interestingly, I find they're kind of the opposite live. Love Set Fire is really amazing because the audience just goes completely silent, and it's just Murray and Dave up there playing it.

Lee didn't really work the time I saw it, 'cause it was the first song of the set, Dave rushed his way through it and no one in the crowd was quite sure what to make of it. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful song, but there's definitely a reason they've only played it live twice.

But yeah, Wood is just phenomenal. Except for Poor Mary Lane, which I really could live without.

The Pogues, "Fairytale of New York, great choice!

i'll skip the first group of songs, and go fo the second, though just picking 5 is next to impossible...

1) AC/DC - "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Highway to Hell" (cant decide which i'd put
2) Aerosmith - "Cryin'"
3) Eurithmics - "Sweet Dreams"
4) Billy Joel - "Piano Man" and "Shameless"(NOT the Garth Brooks version)amongst others..
5) Queen - "Fat Bottom Girls", "I Want it All", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody to love"... god, the Queen list goes on longer than the Billy Joel List.

Yaaaaaaay Pogues! And Kirsty MacColl. I could do the second part of that little meme with Kirsty songs alone.
