Song lyrics meme #4

It's that time again. That I'm too stressed out, lazy, tired, busy and/or annoyed at my currently borderline-operational Internet connection to actually write anything but I still wanna post something time. You knew it'd be back eventually, right? :) (No, really. In the past hour in which I've done nothing but attempt to use the Internet, Jack Bauer could have saved the United States again.)

Anyway, let's hope this posts properly. Have fun. You probably know the drill, but for those of you who don't...
Instructions:
- Open your playlist and set it to random
- Select your favourite line from each of the first 20 songs that play and post them
- Others guess what song the line is from

And I added one new rule this time: only one song per artist, so repeats were skipped.

Mishmash

(which is pretty much the title I could have given to every post on here, really.)

The TV series Bones has been renewed for a second season. Yay! I didn't want to get my hopes up too soon, but now it seems I'm good to go. :)

RENT the musical is coming to Toronto's Elgin Theatre for 6 days in May, from the 9th to the 14th. Other than the ticket ordering page on Ticketmaster, though, I can't find any information about this production and it's not even on Elgin Theatre's site yet. Anyway, tickets for that went on sale this morning... If anyone knows anything about this, do tell.

I tracked down (online) an old friend of mine from elementary school, and I've got a current e-mail address for her...only she's done so many very, very impressive things that I kind of don't want to try to contact her. You know? Because, I don't know, it's intimidating. It's like when you go to a class reunion -- you want to have something to show for that's at least as impressive-sounding as what any of your former classmates tell you. Other than attending university for 4 years, in my hometown, and securing (sort of) a job for next year, what exactly do I have going for me in terms of achievements, or even extracurricular activities, for that matter? I don't know. I could just say to hell with it and just contact her anyway. I suppose it's worth a shot. But um...not right now. Maybe later. Maybe not. Did I mention that she's been up to some very impressive things since I last saw her?

Anonymous question: When are you going to change this layout?
Well, like I've said: before the end of the school year. Which, theoretically, is in three weeks from now. So, er, let's include the two weeks I have off between the end of classes and the beginning of exams (and possibly the time during the actual exam period, too) in that timeframe, shall we?

Hi, Everyone,
The deadline for submitting the term assignment is March 28.

--------------------------------------------------

So I don't have 3 assignments due consecutively over 3 days next week? I was wrong about being wrong about the due date changing? (It was the 28th, then the 21st, and then I thought it had moved back to the 28th, and then I thought I was wrong about it and that it was still the 21st.) I don't think I've gotten a more relief-giving e-mail ever from such an unexpected source! (Of course, supportive e-mails from friends always cheer me up, but then hearing from friends always cheers me up, and hence e-mails from friends are not an unexpected source of relief. Heh.)

Not a fish that you can catch

Blaarrrrrrrgh.

Our Lady Peace have just announced their North American (well, actually, looks like all the shows are in Canada...) tour dates, which has unwittingly stressed me out in a couple of ways:

1. They aren't coming to Toronto.
2. The closest concerts to me are in London and Kitchener, Ontario, but they are two days and one day before my last final, respectively.
3. The most logical one that I could possibly go to on May 16th is in, of all places, Ottawa. Which, I guess, could be reason for a day trip or something.
4. Would anyone GO with me? To Ottawa?
5. Do I *want* to go to Ottawa?
6. Won't watching the special March 15th television broadcast of the concert OLP had back in November be good enough?
7. Why aren't they coming to Toronto again, dangnamit?
8. It's totally not fair for the fan club members to currently be buying-up all the tickets anyhow.
9. Will they announce more dates later...? That might be unlikely...
10. Great, the first tour in years (and people can actually BUY TICKETS for this, unlike the last several shows, for which you had to WIN THEM), and it comes at the worse time ever and not in my city. Bah, humbug.

Tour dates
26.04.06: Victoria, BC - Save On Foods Centre
27.04.06: Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Centre for Performing Arts
28.04.06: Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Centre For Performing Arts
30.04.06: Kelowna, BC - Prospera Place
01.05.06: Calgary, AB - Southern Alberta Jubilee Theatre
02.05.06: Edmonton, AB - Rexall Place
03.05.06: Saskatoon, SK - TCU Place
07.05.06: London, ON - John Labatt Centre
08.05.06: Kitchener, ON - Centre in the Square
09.05.06: Montreal, QC - Metropolis
12.05.06: Halifax, NS - Metro Centre
13.05.06: Moncton, NB - Moncton Coliseum
15.05.06: Quebec City, QC - Theatre Capitol
16.05.06: Ottawa, ON - Scotiabank Place

I would link you all to the ticketing page, but, you know...that's kind of against my best interests. ;)

Edit, 03/10/06: Oh, I totally didn't even notice that I mentioned "aren't coming to Toronto" twice on that list, above. Anyway, my minion concert-accompanying friend Susan (seriously. Since she went to her first concert, she's gone with me to all but 1 1/2 shows that I've been to) says she'll go with me to Ottawa, and we are now ticketed. :)

Points of miscellany

Okay, so first things first: anyone who [still] has access to their university e-mail account, go and join Facebook now. It's fascinating, though I could hardly tell you why...it's a site that theoretically helps you stay connected with friends, and it's been interesting trying to remember how I first met some of them. (Tiffany in particular...I don't actually remember meeting you -- I've just sort of always known you, lol! And if you ask Susan, the time she met me would be different from the time I first remember meeting her...and yes, that is strange. Blame it on my inadequate memory capabilities.)

Secondly: The Phantom of the Opera is coming to the Canon Theatre in Toronto starting in February/March 2007. *squees and woots* Like, OMG. Maybe I can right that wrong I took by opting out of going to see the show the last time it was playing in town -- I was younger then, and I thought the show/Phantom would be too scary. :) I think I could probably take it by now... lol. But, sigh, I'll be working then, and who knows how much time I'll have to go and take in a show? Oh, what am I saying? I'LL MAKE FRIGGIN' TIME, GOSHDARNIT.

Thirdly: The Oscars were last night, at which Charlize Theron's dress attempted to eat her head when she wasn't looking, Ben Stiller was a greenscreened floating head, Reese Witherspoon mattered (no, I'm not being mean...go and read her acceptance speech), and Michelle Williams outshone everybody in yellow.

Lastly: I think I have decided to maybe change my MovieList of 20 favorite movies. The new list is here. Bonus points to you (or, you know, I'll make you an icon or somethin') if you can tell what changed [in the main list only; I'm not entirely mad just yet].
