The Soundtrack Of My Life

Before we begin. . .you ought to know I'm shocked that there's only two PotO songs and only one Coldplay, not to mention just one Old 97's. There's also a ton of Footloose and Green Day. No idea why, because I don't always love those two things. And I kept the random jazz to a minimum.

Theme Music: She's A Rebel - Green Day

Partying with friends: La Vie Boheme - Rent

Dancing at a club: Footloose - Footloose

Walking alone: Somewhere Only We Know - Keen

Missing someone: Whatsername - Green Day

Summer vacation: Kokomo - The Beach Boys

Fighting with someone: Harder To Breathe - Maroon 5

Acting goofy with friends: So Long And Thanks For All The Fish - Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Although I don't think you've ever said anything bad about me... unless there's something you're not telling me...

I kid...maybe

And I was for some reason driven to buy "She's a Rebel". I like it.

Rent! Squee!

How can you documentary a life when real life's getting more like fiction each day
Headlines breadlines blow my mind and now this deadline
Eviction or paaaaay -

RENT!

How do you write a song when the chords sound wrong
Though they once sounded right and rare
And the notes are sour where is the power you once had
To ignite the aaaaair -

RENT!

HOW CAN YOU CONNECT IN AN AGE WHERE STRANGERS, LANDLORDS, LOVERS, YOUR OWN BLOOD CELLS BETRAAAY -

(Is getting strange looks. Doesn't really care.)

(Is also probably singing off key. Also doesn't really care.)

It is June the eighteenth, eight PM, Pacific Coastal Time, from here on in I recite from Rent's script. . . see if anything comes of it, 'stead of John Larson's bit. . . First shot Maxwell, finally having seen the greatness that is Rent. . .

In case you haven't noticed, I'm really really. . um, energetic at the moment.

To Gouda - to Buddha
Pablo Neruda
Tooo. . .

VIVA LA VIE BOHEME!

(Hums happily.)

Speaking of musicals (and when aren't we speaking about musicals) Wicked is in LA 'till the 30th. I'm hoping I'll be able to see it before it leaves town.

I was supposed to see it with Mickey. But I was in Hawaii.

I am the queen of missing social engagements.

Was that just for something to say, or did it mean something?

Bennnn. . .you're going to give me Shakespearian overload.

"In love the heaven's themselves do guide the state
Money buys lands, and wives are sold by fate."

That's not even my line, it's the fellow playing my husband's.

You folks may have the shock of your lives if you come to see us - I'll be (miracle of miracles) wearing a long dress.
