Brimming With the Words That Go Unsung

07/02/2014

This song is about dancing in supermarket aisles. Or loving the wrong person. One of those. The part I’ve quoted below is very… well, it could be one of my characters saying that. The other one’s a little more likely to dance in supermarket aisles though. I like the juxtaposition of the happy  music and […]

The Explanation is Not Important

Someone linked me to this comic. Not the whole thing. Just this strip in particular. I don’t know why. I no longer know who. I don’t have the slightest idea what’s going on. But it makes me laugh anyway. One day I’ll probably read the rest of the comic, and perhaps then I’ll understand. In […]

When the Music Gets Down in Your Soul

I love this song. It’s got a fantastic beat — great to dance to, great to run to. And the lyrics are sorta awesome. It’s one of those catchy songs that gets stuck in your head but when you find yourself singing along you don’t have to be appalled at yourself. Whether it’s rock and roll […]

I Sports. You Sports. We All Sports, Sports, Sports… What?

  I’m going to watch a sport thing on Saturday to try to discover if I actually like it or if I simply enjoy listening to people I know tell me cool stories about it. (They know where my weaknesses are.) I suspect, as I have never watched an entire game, that it’s the second. […]

Until He’s Sober

Every time I hear this song in context of Drink Me, I hear the line ‘until he’s sober’ and start snickering because… yeah, that’s not gonna happen. Either that or I have flashbacks to when this was the ringtone I had for my honey and flail for my phone before I remember myself. It’s very dignified […]

Balance is What Stops You Falling on Your Face, Right?

Okay, so this is embarrassing. One of the tabs I just finished dealing with. One of the ones that was open. Not re-opened from bookmarks or anything. One in my current ‘do something about this’ tab group. Was from 2 January 2013. Yes. When I said I hadn’t finished my admin stuff from the first […]

(battle scars) so one day a boy will come along with lips that taste like gunpowder and he will make you feel like your body is a war zone, will kiss your neck and plant mines beneath your skin and set them off with long, trailing fingers — and sometimes you will feel like you […]

You Mustn’t Be Afraid to Dream a Little Bigger, Darling

This is not the song I was going to post today. But a couple of days ago I was thinking about stuff — it’s a new year and my birthday’s coming up pretty soon — so I was having one of those look at your life, look at your choices moments. And you know what I thought? If my life […]

Racing the Red Queen

I run. It’s a thing that I do.* Every weekday.** When I’ve got it together.*** I run on a treadmill.**** It makes me feel like I’m in Alice Through the Looking Glass, running the Red Queen’s race.      “Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else — if […]
