Play that funky muzak
Way back in Name That Tune in Twenty Questions, I thought I updated it with the answers via tags so there'd be at least some element of surprise later on. Well, mycroftb found out that IE doesn't support the ABBR tag, and I don't want to drop IE-specific Javascript that may or may not work in order to emulate it, and probably has similar issues in reverse and is too long to type 40 times...
So chances are that most of you didn't see squat!
To remedy that, here are the answers:
1. And I'm givin' up hope for the afternoon soaps and a bottle of cold brew. . . [Styx - Too Much Time On My Hands]
2. And after the Love Game has been played, all our illusions are just a parade. . . [Earth, Wind and Fire - Reasons]
3. As I look around, I see things that remind me... just to see you smile made my heart fill with joy. . . [Diana Ross - Missing You]
4. Charming and bright... laughing and gay... I'm just a stranger, love the blues and the Braves. . . [Al Jarreau - Moonlighting]
5. You think that maybe it's over... only if you want it to be. . . [Kenny Loggins - This is it]
6. Something happend along the way... what used to be happy is sad. Something happened along the way, and yesterday was all we had. [Earth, Wind and Fire - After the Love Has Gone]
7. My apartment looks upside-down from there, water spirals the wrong way out the sink... [They Might Be Giants - Ana Ng]
8. And you wanted to dance, so I asked you to dance, but fear is in your soul... some people call it a one-night stand, but we can call it paradise! [Duran Duran - Save A Prayer]
9. Frustrated, outdated, I really wanna be overrated... I'm a finder, and I'm a keeper... I'm not a loser and I ain't no weeper... [Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head]
10. The high point of low school is getting out of there, the low point of High School is what you wear! [Hall & Oates - Adult Education]
11. I wouldn't lie to you, baby... I'm physically attracted to you... [Chaka Kahn - I Feel For You]
12. I've wasted all my tears... wasted all those years... nothing had the chance to be good... nothing ever could. . . [Simply Red - Holding Back The Years]
13. Like a butterfly... a wild butterfly... I will collect you and capture you... [Animotion - Obsession]
14. Your first kiss was a sweet kiss... second kiss had a twist... your third and your fourth kiss, I don't want to miss... [New Kids On the Block - You Got It (The Right Stuff)]
15. I've got to have her, have her now... I've got to get closer but I don't know how... [Phil Collins - Sussudio]
16. You remain... my power, my pleasure, my pain! [Seal - Kiss From a Rose]
17. Darkness on the edge, shadows where I stand... I search for the time on a watch with no hands... [Heart - These Dreams]
18. Don't give up... keep running... keep hiding. . . [Phil Collins - Don't Lose My Number]
19. You're the one who took my hand when no one else could understand... you're the one who moves me like nobody else can! [Alabama - Take Me Down]
20. Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long. . . [Styx - Renegade]

Lunchtime sucked. First, I was set to go grab a burger from the on-campus cafe. So I head off, and, much to my detriment, the grill had been converted to a Mexican place! I had Baja Fresh yesterday, so I decided to walk back and go home.
I get all the way home before I realized I left my house keys at work.
Fine dammit. I swing by an ATM to get money, and shove off to Chipotle, where I'm standing in a long line even as lunch hour is drawing to a close. Chicken soft tacos with not enough chicken, coming right up!
I get back to work and eat understuffed tacos without hot sauce... and they were cold by the time I arrived at my desk.
At least supper was a bit better. Some Red Baron mini pizzas and a 3 Musketeers. And a Dr Pepper. I didn't have to drive all around to get it, at least, and that's what made it better.
So chances are that most of you didn't see squat!
