Top 50 Worst Songs of All Time meme (via tekaytalks
This is a list of the 50 Worst Songs of All Time, as put together by the hip magazine Blender. Your task, if you choose to accept it, is to bold the items that you actually like. This might be more embarrassing than you think. Remember, no one is reading this. Well, no one of importance…
Gina’s addition: italicize the songs you *really* loathe… the ones that you would’ve come up with if you’d made the list. The ones that are on albums you own. The ones with one star in your iTunes. (I’m not including Achy Breaky Heart, for instance, ’cause I don’t come anywhere near “new country” so my exposure is limited). Heck, add a few of your own. Why not? ;-)
1. We Built This City – Starship
2. Achy Breaky Heart – Billy Ray Cyrus
3. Everybody Have Fun Tonight – Wang Chung
4. Rollin’ – Limp Bizkit
5. Ice Ice Baby – Vanilla Ice (not on an album I own, but MAN I hate this song. Such a complete tease, because I love “Under Pressure”) — edited to add… Under Pressure is Bowie and Queen, but Vanilla Ice *stole* the main “hook” and used it in Ice Ice Baby)
6. The Heart of Rock & Roll – Huey Lewis and the News

This is *very* accurate, I think. I was pleased as punch that the quiz included as separate questions:
I can read maps easily and accurately.
and
I can accurately estimate distances and other measurements.
because I’m HORRID at the first and quite good at the second, and often they get lumped together in tests, making it difficult for me to chose an answer in good faith.

someone on just posted about a nasty craft-related injury, which reminded me of one of my Brilliant Ideas ™
I think that they should create warning channels above and below the Discovery Channel (and any other network that shows ickky blood-filled operations on TV):
“Warning: gross stuff on next channel down. Skip two channels quickly if you don’t want to spend a few seconds figuring out what you’re looking at, only to then be completely repulsed and grossed out.”
Quotes
Recently I’ve been cleaning up and throwing out, which, considering I could easily play the role of the Mother of All Packrats (at least in the off-Broadway run), is a big fuzzy deal. In the process of the purge (doesn’t that sound like the title of a movie?) I found of one of my old Dayrunners (for you young’uns, that’s an Old Skool PDA), which contained (amongst other non-perishables such as my telephone list and a page of Tigger stickers) a single sheet of quotes. I *think* I said these. (Google doesn’t think anyone else ever did, at any rate). Anyway, they struck me as funny, so I repeat them here (and that way I can throw away the sheet of paper too ;-);
- Twizzlers are the Cornflower Blue of candy.
- The movie was so bad we’re taking stars away from the movie listed under it.
- We not only have a legal leg to stand on, we’ve got a bike to ride home if we want.

Ok, sort of right. Definitely appear strange. NOT interested in occult/psychic research. Am inclined to out-of-the-ordinary. Can be snarky. All about equality (and I think I often take liberty for granted). Strong N from a Myers-Briggsian perspective. At least *think* I can predict outcomes in business (and am over-fond) of gloating a little when I’m correct.
24 is my lucky number, so they’re a little correct there.
Oh and there are 2.00 syllables (why the decimal point is beyond me…can you have 5/8 of a syllable?)
Funny misunderstood lyric
As a change of pace from all the weighty ponderings below (friends-only posts, so holler if you’d like to know what’s on my mind), I just realized how funny one of my misheard lyrics really is: as a child, I thought the Elton John song “Island Girl” was called “I Like Girls”, which, in Elton’s case, is clearly, well, wrong.
bug
Ok… Saturday night (saw Bourne Supremacy…very..blurry, that one). Reading LJ pre-bed. Notice a wee bug crawling on my screen. Try to flick him off (perhaps unintentionally squishing him). He won’t flick.
The bug is *INSIDE* my screen.
There is a wee bug INSIDE my screen.
I hope he doesn’t die and become a wee dead bug inside my screen.
