I have come to the conclusion, after reading and failing to find answers to innumerable lyric memes, that the only ones I can ever get are either Canadian or from musicals, no matter how many of the songs I actually know. And usually too late. Also, Tragically Hip songs will earworm me, complete with Gord Downie, for the rest of the day.

I can't watch Jonathan any more. Whenever he shows up on the screen I hit the mute button and look away, because he just makes me so angry and stressed. I'm pretty sure that if I were actually *in* the race, and had to interact with him in any way, I would have asked to be sent home. It'd either be that or go insane.

Also, other people made me very angry last night, too. Why am I even watching this show anymore?

There's really not much else going on in the world of me. As long as I don't look at the wall of CDs on my desk I can pretend I'm not that far behind at work, I have no real thoughts as to what to bring to the staff party tomorrow, I'm boning up on my Messiah for the screech-a-long on Sunday, and OH LOOK IT'S LUNCHTIME. Thank pete.

How are you?

ETA: This is it, folks, the last BPAL review, at least until I put another order in -- which will probably be soon, considering it took 3 months to get here. Anyway, none of the samples really did much for me, but I traded a rejected imp of Envy for The Apothecary

Tea leaf with three mosses, green grass, a medley of herbal notes, and a drop of ginger and fig.

It's quite nice - sharp without being overwhelmingly green. And it lasts surprisingly well. I'll have to try it again before making a final decision, but I think I like it.

ETA again: Icon by kiltsandlollies! For me! Isn't she wonderful?

I don't know what the second one is! Woe! I fail at even the super easy version!

:P

It's 'Somebody Told Me', a superfun song by The Killers; it's only been out a couple of months. :)

Here's another try at it for you.

3) Buddy you're a boy make a big noise playing in the street you're gonna be a big man some day you've got mud on your face, you big disgrace, somebody better put you back into your place.

4) Desert loving in your eyes all the way. When I listen to your lies do you say I'm a man without conviction, I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction You come and go, You come and go

The last one is definitely 'Karma Chameleon' by Culture Club. The other one I can hear singing in my head and I think it's Queen - 'We Will Rock You' maybe?

I can only recognize them if I can sing along long enough to get to the title of the song. :D

Right on both!

Both of the excerpts were exactly to the first time the title is sung. :)

I have an unholy love for 'Karma Chameleon'. fox1013 is my new hero for uploading it so I could download it from her last night.

I'm not exactly sure why, but it always makes me think of Barbie dolls.

Strange.

5) When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, [title]. And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me, speaking words of wisdom, [title].

Ok, now you're just humouring me. :)

No, I really was not. I was trying to think of a song there was a decent chance you'd know, because five seemed like a good number to toss at you. :)

I heart that song.
