This is a twist on the Letter Meme. Instead of coming up with ten items for a certain letter, you come up with five song titles for a certain letter and explain why you picked them. If you want to play, leave a comment and I'll give you a letter, then you post this blurb in your journal along with your list.

Listening to today's episode of 50 Skidillion Watts Of Good Will, I thought of a few things I'd like to say to revme before they fall out of my head:

After running in to see what the heck was going on, it turned out that the WB network is using the song in ads for a new show, Modern MenI'm sure it ( Read more... )

I was tagged by iconoplast to: List seven songs you are into right now.

We had three different maintenance visits on Thursday afternoon to look for the source of water leaking into our downstairs neighbor's closet. They scared the crap out of me the last time with a reciprocating saw I wasn't expecting, but at least it wasn't the Spanish Inquisition. I guess they'll be back sometime to repair the hole they cut in the ( Read more... )
