Misc., really. There's no other way to label this.

I'm feeling oddly melancholy today. (Which might explain why I read this lovely Traders fic and sobbed all over spike21's journal.) I woke up irrationally angry with my mother because I had a dream that she was best friends with Paul Gross and she wouldn't let me meet him. What's with you, brain?

Anyway, here are some sources of distraction:

•Bono interviews Eddie Izzard. They are both awesome, and parts of this pertain to "Four Quarters" in interesting ways.

•Someone mentioned the Don't Stand So Close to Me video in the comments to Office Hours, which was oddly enough already on my mind, as I caught part of it on TV at Siria's house the other night. Sting is so hot in this. (Shut up, Siria! So's Pete Tyler!)

•Lyrics meme:

1. Your memory is here and I’d like it to stay / Warm light on a winter’s day --Pink Bullets, The Shins (guessed by slodwick)

9. Time’s tide will smother you / And I will too --That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, The Smiths (guessed by _inbetween_)

20. Open the doors that lead on into Eden / Don’t want no cheap disguise --Into the Fire, Sarah McLachlan (guessed by aurora_84)

...Bit of a trend there. Not my fault, iTunes was on random. *g*

•Awhile back, I promised to upload some more Dandy Warhols songs for somebody, but because there's a problem with my brain being missing, I forgot. Here are some now:

Sleep
Big Indian
Welcome to the Monkey House
I Am Sound

I have way more, but the files are all on my finicky old iPod, so I'll have to try to snag them later. Sorry for being such a spaz.

•Finally, Beware the Army of Pigs!




Taken in New Square, the day of the Trinity Ball. Oh, college.

I really ought to go to the library. But first: a sandwich!

Comments

[siria]

...Sting. Oh, my child. Let five Hail Marys and three Hello Dollies be your penance for temptation away from the Path of the Hewlett. And temptation away towards Sting.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

When did I ever say that Sting is hotter than the Hewlett? He doesn't even come close! The Hewlett is the Zeus of hotness; Sting (young Sting, wearing glasses Sting) is just a minor god.

[randomchris.livejournal.com]

7 - Venus in Furs, The Velvet Underground.

(Although I always thought it was "bleed for me"?)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I did, too, but the lyrics sites say "plead," and if you listen closely, that could be what he's saying. I'll triple-check.

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

1. The Shins, "Pink Bullets" ♥
11. ... Buffy? "Going Through the Motions"
13. Idelwild, "American English"

I am SOOOOO moody/melancholy today. Hopefully, I'll be able to channel that into my (late) kink fic. I wish I had my tunes.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I think planet Earth is having an emo day. It just started to rain quite heavily.

Your guesses are all correct. Although...there's at least one more that you should be able to get, as you sent me the song! ;-)

[cincodemaygirl.livejournal.com]

It's a little bit embarrasing that the only one I know is Buffy...

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

But you should never be embarrassed by Buffy-knowledge!

[mandysbitch.livejournal.com]

10. The killing moon - Echo and the Bunnymen!

I know ALL the words to that one!

Ah, my 80s youth...

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I adore that song. It's so...rich. Decadent? I don't know. Have you heard the alternate, studio sessions version?

[birdsflying]

#3 is Believe me, Natalie by the the Killers

Army of pigs!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Correct!

And yeah, Trinity was totally invaded not long after you left. The pigs, Meg, the pigs!

[wychwood]

...Bono says he has no shame. This fails to surprise me in any way *g*.

4. Numb, U2
15. Crumbs From Your Table, U2
19. She's a Mystery To Me, U2 or Roy Orbison, whichever you prefer

...I'm spotting a theme in my attributions here *g*

PS Young Sting is totally hot and also looks like John Constantine. Yes.
PPS Good luck with your library :)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Bono says he has no shame. This fails to surprise me in any way *g*.

Nor me. *hearts him* Though I do feel bad that still people don't seem to get that he has a sense of humor. ("Discotheque" video! Hello!)

I'm spotting a theme in my attributions here *g*

Psst! And you didn't even get all of them. *shame*

Young Sting is totally hot and also looks like John Constantine.

You know that Sting was actually who Alan Moore had in mind when he created Constantine?

Good luck with your library

Heh. Notice that I have not actually left yet.

[etben.livejournal.com]

8 is Begin the Beguine, originally by Cole Porter (and took me way too long to figure out, because school is destroying my ability to think).

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

School has a bad tendency to do that. Hence my resorting to memes in the first place!

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

12. When Love Comes to Town, U2 and B.B. King.

And Sting, I think he just gets hotter as he gets older, he's like perpetually hot, and that voice, I like it even more now..it's deeper and richer.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Yup to 12!

And Sting...yeah, why do I have such a thing for blond Brits? Or hot guys in glasses. *flails*

[aurora]

17. Dire Straits - Water of Love (I blame my DS loving father for this one).

20. Sarah McLachlan - Umm, something with 'Fire'. I'm so drawing a blank here. :S

And yeah, that Traders fic hit me hard. I'm trusting her to make it better, but also: angst! ♥ (I'm in a weird mood today. :|)

Friendly pigs, yay!?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

The only reason I have that Dire Straits song is that I once made a mix of songs that were all "Blank of Love." I'm weird.

You're so close on 20. I'll probably give it to you. *g*

Won't somebody please hug Grant?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

the smiths: that joke isnt funny anymore

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Assuming you mean No. 9, yes. *g*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I hadn't heard that before! It's so dorky--and I feel so smart now! I'm also imagining Four Quarters-Rodney getting drunk and insisting that The Puddlejumpers do "more educational songs."

pigs and monkeys

[laceymcbain.livejournal.com]

*G* The pigs - I've had days like that. It's why I keep a tiara by my desk so I can proclaim myself queen of all on really sucky days.

Also, snagging "Welcome to the Monkey House" - I have a friend, corporalmonkey who I'm going to make a monkey-themed CD for one of these days. Sounds like it should fit right in. Thanks!

Re: pigs and monkeys

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

*tries to think if she has any more monkey-related songs*

[lalejandra.livejournal.com]

#6 is "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones!

The army of pigs is so awesome.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is!

I kind of want to go hit on the guys who live in that house. They made an army of pigs! That should be basis enough for any relationship!

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

Dude. Pigs!

And 18. is "Call to Arms" by the Ordinary Boys. I am v. sad that the others I know have already been guessed. *woe* Oh, and 5. is a Bono quote, but I don't know what song that's from...

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

18 is correct! And you were right about 5 being Bono: the_acrobat guessed it, it's U2's "11 O'Clock Tick Tock."

[sonofzeal.livejournal.com]

You should go to the library! I recently had a dream where I was at a library. You were there, too. You met and took to a handsome fellow who similarly took to you. So, yeah, no promises or anything, but just saying.

[not-sally.livejournal.com]

6 is Wild Horses, though you'll have to tell me whether it was the rolling Stones version or not.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

It was the Stones version, although I also have The Sundays and Garbage covers. *g*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

As soon as I saw your username pop up in my inbox, I knew you were going to get that one...or the other U2 song that still nobody's guessed... ;-)

Dany Warhols

[roguesgallery.livejournal.com]

That was me asking for more Warhols. Thanks a lot, you're wonderful!

Re: Dany Warhols

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'd be a lot more wonderful if I could remember what I was doing for more than two consecutive seconds. But I really do have more, so poke me if I keep forgetting to grab 'em off my other iPod.
