Thinking of something fun to post for today, 11-11-11 (which, as "63" is the last Binary Day of the century), and I remembered this and hunted it up on Youtube (there's no visuals, just listen). It reflected Army life more like I lived it, Germany during the Cold War. The main part of the song I could relate to was "I must have drunk 10 quarts of ( Read more... )

Some midnight musings...

This last weekend the_dark_snack  and I watched a couple of award shows, which provided quite a contrast. Such shows can be fun, if done right, but if not... =P

We had DVRed the MTV Movie Awards from the previous weekend and watched them Saturday. And it's sad to say that the show that was once a wonderful antidote to the Academy Awards is ( Read more... )

Some thoughts for Drama-Free Thursday*

It occurs to me lately that most of my problems lately have been "First-World Problems." It helps this thought process along that a couple of weeks ago I saw nerdcore rapper MC Frontalot live, and he defines FWP as being "the problems you only have living in the richest country in the world."

"FEAR ME, I've killed hundreds of Time Lords!"

"Fear me, I've killed all of them."

It's Friday!
That means yesterday was Thursday, etc.

Since the country is all on an anti-bullying kick, you think we can lay off of picking on Rebecca Black?

I could care less about her "hit" and the quality thereof. Bad songs have been composed and performed on a regular basis going back centuries to the days of minstrels. In latter days they all get ( Read more... )

Before writing my LJ Idol entry for this week, to help me focus, I looked up the lyrics of "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat" from the musical "Guys and Dolls."

Though to be honest, I like Don Henley's version better (link goes to YouTube, but ignore the visuals, there's no official video I could find) with its easy reggae beat -- the stage version ( Read more... )

This song has been running thru my head lately...

Someone needs to make a Sheen-themed video to this. The lyrics seem to fit. =)
