Another question:
can i link ya??
'Course you can, but tell me who you are and where your site is, yeah?

Was at Best Buy today, and looking at the OUATIM soundtrack, I noticed something funny...the track "Sands Theme" is listed as being by "Tonto's Giant Nuts"... I actually laughed out loud when I read that... 'cause I know who wrote the song and who the people are who perform it. Heh. I suspect I'm the only one here who finds this funny, though, but Hell, this is MY blog, so tough. ;)

Figured I should answer these questions before they pile up, then I'll launch back into my essay (which, btw, makes no sense whatsoever, but such is the joy of essays. Sigh.)

1. Dnid't you fnid taht sudty a bit sracy? and a ltilte lkie tlaknig to me on MSN?
I thnik I fnuod it scraier taht my fisrt isnitnct was to corrcet the "tpyos" wehn I saw the blrub in the paepr...hmm. And yes, it is a little like talking to you on MSN. ;)

2. You're reading Microserfs?? YAAAAYYY!!
Yes. Well, don't get too excited -- I'm only reading it when I'm ahead in my English reading (which, incidentally, I am, but I still have to finish the second Jungle Book for next week, 'cause I read my books in the wrong order...oops.) and when I happen to be in the UC Library ('cause I didn't actually sign out the book, but I know exactly where it is). So far I've read about the first two days...amusing.

3. And YAY!! Arrogant Worms lyrics as the lyrics of the moment! Did you just look up 'pirate' and that's what came up?
Actually, I was reading some posts on a messageboard somewhere (I think it was the one for the Space network...a thread about Talk Like A Pirate Day that was very OT [off-topic]), and someone had mentioned that they were reminded of this song, and they posted the lyrics to part of it...so naturally, I looked up the rest of it, and I believe I downloaded the song, but I've no idea what it sounds like. ;)

4. Arrogant Worms, Microserfs....are you turning into me??
Quite possibly. *sits up suddenly* Quick! Tell me...what color is my hair, and do I look any taller to you?!

5. Do you knit or do anything crafty?
Er...sorta. There's this "thing" I've been knitting sporadically, and I occasionally will draw or sketch things. I sometimes like to paint rocks so that they look like ladybugs. I write.

6. Cotten Eye Joe song lyrics
*pauses and looks at querent quizzically* First of all...that can hardly be called a question, can it? Secondly...I believe I answered this particular one a little while back, with a link to the lyrics. Search the archives; you should find it there.

7. Is that really what the Proclaimers song is called? huh...didn't know that...
It is indeed. I used to cringe when I heard this song, 'cause they used to play it during the morning aerobics sessions in elementary school. But then it was also in Benny & Joon, which I watched recently (have seen it before, but was a looong time ago), so now it's okay. :)

*hangs head dejectly and attempts to re-focus on essay writing*
Here goes nothing. (And I do mean nothing...)

Sat next to the strangest guy on the subway yesterday morning.

I was sitting on one of the two-seaters, where you can't get out to the doors unless the person next to you moves. So this guy carrying several large bags or whatever sat down next to me, and after a little while he asked me, "Are you going anywhere any time soon?" (as he would have to move his bags and things to let me out). So I said, "Uh, St. George" (St. George being the station I get off at). Then he asked, "Did you bring a ladder with you?" And I thought it was some sort of joke, so, you know, I started to laugh politely..but then realized he was actually waiting for me to answer. "No," I replied quickly. "Oh, so you must be going for an inside job, then." ...To which I had absolutely no answer. I had noooo idea what he was talking about anymore... I was just thinking, "Hey, guy, I'm just on my way to the university for my damned 9am class..." Anyway, that was the strangest part of our little conversation (mostly, he just talked randomly, and if he asked me anything I'd answer... the whole encounter was less than 10 minutes long, anyway)...

I had other stuff to say here, but me being a bit sleep-deprived at the mo, I can't seem to remember. Ah well. Maybe I'll remember for next time...
