they know your name, and they know what you're about
Took today off for Random Do Whatever The Hell I Want Day.
Finished the body of the sweater I've been knitting all summer. Still need to make sleeves.
I have this thing about the Gin Blossoms. The song "Found Out About You" amuses me unduly. It's that particular brand of pop-song whininess, I guess. I think a lot of it is the sarcasm of the first line: "All last summer, in case you don't recall..." Plus the whole idea of telling someone, "I FOUND OUT ABOUT YOOUUUUUU" ... if someone said that to me, I would be VERY confused. I guess it's different if you're controversial enough for people to whisper about you at the bus stop because you were doing inappropriate things at the "schoolyard" at night.
See what I mean?
Well, I just found out that the guy who wrote those wonderful, catchy, lolworthy songs killed himself shortly after those songs made a fortune for his former band members (he had been kicked out of the band due to drunkenness/stubbornness (didn't like the record label)/unruliness/whatever).
That makes it a lot less fun...
Dammit, Wikipedia, you did it again!
-----------------------------------------------------
and a random word thing I was pondering yesterday:
If there is "stick-to-it-iveness", there should also be "on-top-of-it-iveness."
Seems like "-ion" would be the more sensible suffix here.
I guess "stick-to-it-ion" just sounds like "stick tuition," and in my opinion, sticks are more than educated enough.
Damn uppity sticks.
"on-top-of-it-ion" doesn't work either. On top of ition? what's ition?
reminds me of the The Simpsons' "SUCCESSMANSHIP." That's a keeper.
