Just popping my head up briefly to say “I’m not dead yet”
and
watch this
Now whose brilliant idea was it that a carbonated beverage would take a nice three-foot plunge through the bowels of the machine right before I want to open it?

1. Go here.
2. Pass it on.
my answers
from mckenzee
1. Dessert?
yes.
2. Do you have any allergies?
Only two: the indoors and the outdoors (dust, pollen, dander)
3. If we met and I had a limp, moist handshake, would you be disturbed?
Though I am ashamed to admit it, probably yes. I am sure I’d get over it, though!
4. A man in a fedora is standing in the rain, struggling to light a cigarette. What music is playing?
You know I am getting completely stuck on this one…the radio in my head is *very* loud and quite insistent, and since “Whenever You’re Away from Me” from Xanadu (which I saw at the Carolina Theatre last weekend) is currently stuck in it, that’s what’s playing. At least it’s the right era in style (late 40’s-early 50’s), if not in tone (too chipper).
5. Are you experienced? Have you ever been experienced? Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful?
Pretty sure there’s a movie reference here I’m missing, but I’ll take a stab anyway… I am experienced. I have been experienced. I’m beautiful (in my own way, or at least that’s what Ray Stevens says), and have perhaps been…erm, elevated. :-)
And now you comment to this post and i will ask you five burning questions. You then post the questions and answers in your journal so everyone can learn a bit more about you too. (Yes, we’ve played this one before, but this time I’m having a rainy Friday.)
25. remember the nightstand
26. find the liquid bandage
27. sigh
If it were me, I’d have been Pope George Ringo III.

The music meme thingy, via sarah_ovenall
1. Total amount of music files on your computer?
oh boy. Will have to confirm with iTunes at home, but I know it’s 8000+ tracks. Edited to add: 8932 songs (more frightening yet: almost 100% of that is legitimate music I own! I’m such a dork that when everyone was Napstering, I was only downloading songs I already owned, so I wouldn’t have to rip them…there are a few things that I downloaded and never bought, but probably less than 100 songs total).
2. The last CD you bought was…
Hrm…two at almost the same time: (1) Marshall Crenshaw, Marshall Crenshaw (I saw him a few months ago at the Pour House in Raleigh, and realized how desperately I needed to have the song “Someday, Someway” (but I had to wait until I “needed” something else to order it ;-) and Spinning Jennies, Stratosphere
3. What was the last song you listened to before reading this message?
Wellllll, if the song in my head counts it’s “Someday, Someway”. If the last song I sang counts, it’s Norah Jones, “Lonestar”. If it’s the last song I actually heard playing on an external device it’s Mark Erelli, “Why Should I Cry Over You” (he’s playing the Six String Cafe on this Saturday, BTW)
4. Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
The others are tougher, as I tend to get obsessive about songs for a period of months… my current ones (based on iTunes playcounts — I gotta be fair) are:
I could throw out the immediacy data and attempt to create the “five greatest of all time” — but that would be a lot harder. ;-)
5. What 3 people are you going to pass this baton to and why?
How about ovrclokd, Sarah of navelgazer.com and Kate, the Self Taught Girl just because they seem to represent a fair spread of folks.
