I would be doing them.
(Hello, account!  You're lookin' kinda atrophied.)

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

1. Entirely for you / Soon, you will see that there's more there to me I will show
2. Dust cloud comin off an old dirt road / that leads up here to this little graveyard
3. Today is the greatest day I've ever known / something something tomorrow, somethingsomethingsomething
4. Today's the day we take off your training wheels / I think you can do it / Do you think you can do it
5. Well, did you bring me my money / my cab fare, my new shoes / I got expenses you know, where's my weekly dues?
6. I heard grandpa on my transistor radio / though he turned in his bones 20 years ago / he said kid, there's something that I've got to show you / so get your things, it's time for us to go
7. You belong to the gang / and you say you can't break away / but I'm here with my hands on my heart!
8. No phone, no phone / I just want to be alone today, no phone, no phone /  ringing stinging jerking like a nervous bird / rattling up against his cage / calls to me throughout the day
9. One when my folks were gone / I saw a lotta liquor I saw my tomcat
10. Send me now the winter's over / light turns out the wind got older (maybe?)
11. I was born in Puerto Rico / We came here when I was a child / before I reached the age of 16 / I was runnin' with a gang and we were wild
12. the mumbler cat came home / holdin half a head / proceeded to shut up
13. Got myself a new look / something gave me another chance to see / each time, each time I will try to do better
14. There's an island hidden in the sound / lapping currents lay your bow to ground / fix your barb and bayonet, the curlews carve their arabesques / and sorrow fills the silence all around
15. If time is my vessel, then learning to love might be my way back to sea
16. the nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds / but it's always with trust that the poison is fed with the spoon
17. Now that everybody's here / could we please have your attention / there is nothing left to fear / and now that bigfoot is captured
18. Summer don't know me no more, even let (blah blah) / summer don't know me, just let me know in my sea (maybe?)
19. If I kiss you where it's sore / If I kiss you where it's sore will you feel better, better, better / will you feel anything at all
20. who draws the crowd / who plays so loud / baby it's the guitar man
21. Yeah but nobody searches / nobody cares somehow / when the loving that you've wasted comes raining from a hapless brow
22. Suddenly you raise your eyes and see the daybreak slowly starts to rise / It never was before but now it is so weird it's caught you by surprise
23. Hear the charms / Did you know / that the wind when it blows / it is older than Rome and all of this sorrow
24. and the first one tore a picture of a dead and hanging man / who was kissing foreign fishes that flew right out of his hands
25. look up from the hymnal / around at the faces / of families closing their eyes / we're takin' communion and passin' the offerin' hat around at the same time
26. when you first left me, I was wantin' more / but you were fuckin' that girl next door / what'd you do that for?
27. it was a cold night / and the snow lay round / I pulled my coat tight / against the falling down
28. A plague in the workhouse / a plague on the poor now / I'll beat on my drum til I'm dead
29. when I find myself in times of trouble / mother mary comes to me / speaking words of wisdom
30. two-time at damascus computer cafe / I'm lookin busy starin' off the other way

Well seriously,

how do you deal with a housemate who is perpetually borrowing food and supplies, who has a minimal regard for housekeeping, who goes on the defensive when approached in anything but a soothing tone of voice, and who literally has not changed her mind about anything in the year you've known her?

My heart hurts.

Well I was going to get things done, but ole Radiohead made a new album instead.

I made Rex into a kiln god; he's staying with me for the rest of my life.

I got some news that made my day shitty.  One of my family's cats, Rex, has been peeing all over the house, and we couldn't get him to stop.  So, they're taking him to my dad's coworker's farm.  I guess they have a heated barn and put out cat food, but I'm pretty bashed up about the whole thing.  He's a stellar cat besides the big bad bladder problem, and now he's getting dumped out of his family, forever.  He's pretty old and slow and doesn't have front claws, so he'll probably die before too long.  He's not going to have a human family anymore.  It seems like a pretty shitty way to go out.

So, that's my worst problem, I'm over here crying about a cat I got ten years ago.  This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me so far; I have spent the last few years waiting for my luck to run out.  Do you know the feeling?  I am waiting for someone, a friend or family member, to die or get mauled because it happens to everyone eventually.

I am in a terrible mood right now.

Or, above a house.  In the attic of a house.  But I get to come down to use the bathroom.

We unrolled the rug I brought and found four dead baby mice!  It was sort of traumatic, but we used the rug.

I'm learning to use a bread machine.  I made five loaves in the past two days.  Homemade bread is DELICIOUS.

I'm taking ceramics again, because, hip hooray, the prereq art class was all full again!  Awesome!

And I am reading a book with a bear in it.  That is pretty exciting too.

Otherwise, nothing's up.  Has anyone ever noticed that sometimes black coffee has an aftertaste just like pot?
