the Dalaverse

Gacked from...everybody, seems like.

Step 1: Put your playlist on random.
Step 2: Pick your favourite lines from the first 25 songs that play. (I cheated only a little.)
Step 3: Post and let people guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.


1. There's one thing, baby, that I don't understand/You keep on telling me I ain't your kind of man "Beast of Burden," the Rolling Stones
2. Take back your singing in the rain "Freedom '90," George Michael
3. Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it "Centerfold," the J. Geils Band
4. Go lightly down your darkened way
5. But while we're apart, don't give your heart to anyone "Save the Last Dance for Me," the Drifters
6. And I felt the lie, something sticky on the inside
7. And as I rode away I could hear her say to José "Come a Little Bit Closer," Jay and the Americans
8. He needs some pettin' and lovin' on his rain-soaked hide "Kitty," the Presidents of the United States of America

15. Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there/But just remember there's a lot of bad, and beware "Wild World," Cat Stevens
16. Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo
17. And there's a rose in a fisted glove/And the eagle flies with the dove "Love the One You're With," CSNY
18. He thinks that singing on Sunday's gonna save his soul/Now that Saturday's gone
19. I like the groove of your walk, your talk, your dress "The Way You Make Me Feel," Michael Jackson

24. We were just young and restless and bored "Night Moves," Bob Seger
25. I was the endless sky/And you were my Mexican dove "Linda Paloma," Jackson Browne

::squints at bowl:: How long does pudding keep? I made it Friday, and it's been sitting in the fridge uncovered, and it's starting to get a skin. It tastes okay...

Grahhhhh. I love Kavalier & Clay like...like I can't even say. Sammy and Joe both break my heart in different ways, though Sammy more than Joe, at the moment, because Joe is with Rosa and she's kind of annoying. And I totally skipped ahead to see if the direction of Sammy's character went where I thought it was going (in the most non-spoiler way I can put it), and he totally IS. AWESOME.

I still have to upload the beautiful mood theme ashleygaea made. Norrington-face every single time I post? ALSO AWESOME.

I'm...kind of excitable tonight, huh?

New "Lost"! AGAIN I SAY, AWESOME!

That lyrics meme is so much fun. I feel compelled to reveal the unguessed ones in a little while, even though I doubt anybody'll read it.

*bouncebounce* Hyper. Oh, and I cleared the skin off my pudding and ate some, and it seemed okay. Thanks guys!

Jon Stewart on Larry King Live, paraphrased: "What I think people who are not religious really take offense to is the idea that it's the only way to find meaning."

It's official. I cannot love this man any more.

CNN will have a transcript of this interview, right? I missed the beginning, and I want THAT quote exactly.

AUGGGGH! I deleted my Jon icon! This will be rectified, never fear.

Jon Stewart (on some angry Congressman I didn't know): Who appointed this guy Sarcasm Czar?

Hey! I wanna be Sarcasm Czar! Or...Czarina, I suppose.

Tell me, folks, what would you like to be Czar/Czarina/Tsar/Tsarina of?
