5/4/2004 - First Entry - The Wee Hours

Jumping on the Playlist Meme bandwagon that seems to be popping up everywhere. It should be noted that my current playlist is affectionately named 'The Big One', and is... versatile. The normal list is one or two subsections of this, but each time I've seen this meme in a friend's joural, it's been the master list that's running...


On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

1. Oh, It'll drive your crazy - you're gonna feel like Superman
2. I will bring salvation, punishment and pain
3. Here comes the beaurocrat with fifty more rules to tie your hands and take more bread from the schools.
4. We all live in happiness, our life is full of joy
5. Medieval Marcus, the Rescue Ranger, Lorien shows up, and things get stranger
6. I never wanted to know; never wanted to see. I wasted my time till time wasted me
7. 'Cause all the pain that we've been through still weighs so heavy on my mind
8. Once with heads held high they sang out to the sky. Why do their shadows bow in fear?
9. I spin into the darkness but I swear that I can’t see a thing in front of me
10. I don't know the reason I stayed here all season. Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo.
11. The frightened children know not why and no one will explain
12. Here's one of me in my old '60 Chevy; the one that let us down in Baltimore
13. Got a '65 chevy, primered flames; traded for some powdered goods
14. He picks up a bus and he throws it back down as he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
15. I’m lying alone with my head on the phone, thinking of you till it hurts
16. Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind to see
17. You don't have a lot, but it's all that you've got and you can turn it into more than it seems
18. One generation got old, One generation got soul; this generation got no destination to hold
19. Living without you, living alone; this empty house seems so cold
20. I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser; I rammed the ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer

One or two are obvious, and some will leap out at some folks, but... wow. I never realized just how weird my playlist was. :p I tried to give complete couplets, and no fair using search engines. I also had to skip three instrumentals. Like the one playing now. Go figure.

5/4/2004 - Second Entry

I can't remember who I snicked this quizzie from, so you don't get a reference. Sorry.
Elle Driver (California Mountain Snake)




You're Elle Driver! Sly and evil, you can manipulate people in order to get whatever you want. You're usually alone, but that's the way you like it. You hate having others nearby to order you around (unless it's Bill, of course... but even then you're still hesitant).

Kill Bill: Which Deadly Viper Assassin Are You? (Vol. II spoilers... results with pics)

*blinks* It looked interesting, so I went ahead and took it. It should be noted, however; I've never seen /either/ of the Kill Bill films. Anyone out there want to tell me who this chicky is?

Well, I'm semi-mobile today, thankfully. I've got the second load of wash in, and it looks like there're three more of the stock stuff. Then I intend to dig out the last of the mondopile that's still lurking in my bedroom and get -it- washed. From the rough sort I did, it's (again) 80-90% Megan's stuff. Whatever, I just want it out of my room. It's blocking the spot I want to put the small entertainment center in, so I can move the TV and PS2 into my room where it belongs.

The funiture moving part of that will be AFTER I've disconnected and moved the washing machine. I've got to lay the ceramic tile in the utility cubbyhole, which'll mean ten days without laundry facilities. Because my clothing is sorted and put away, I know that I've got enough to get me through. Megan is going to be well and truly screwed. Since I've been on her ass for almost two months to get her clothes put away (Crystal's been here and seen the monstrous pile of Meganage) I find I've little sympathy for her.

The tiling project will also give me a feel for that part of the planned kitchen renovations. Megan's mom went to bat for me with her husband, and managed to clear giving me the cabinets they're in the process of removing from their kitchen. They're perfectly good cabinets, but her Mom wants something in a lighter color... and the dark pine finish is MUCH better from the painted baby blue hideousness currently in my kitchen.

I've made the first batch of phone calls to see about getting the mortgage mess refinanced. There's another batch to be made tomorrow; hopefully SOMEONE will be able to roll this disaster into one loan. I just have to hold onto what I've got and keep praying.

OH! And I have something neato to show folks that're interested:

The Brick Testament

I thought it was really spiff. Anyway, that's about all I have for the moment. There might be another entry for today, but at the moment it'll stand at 2.
