So that car I told you about yesterday? The one that hadn’t moved for 3 weeks? When I left work yesterday, it was GONE. I just about dropped my purse. Alas, it seems like a mystery that will never be solved.

Because this sounds like fun:

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favourite lyrics. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.

1) When the sun begins to shine I’ll hear a song from another time
2) Everything I want the world to be is now coming true especially for me
3) I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea
4) So take a good look at my face, you’ll see my smile looks out of place
5) It all comes around you run yourself down, you’re playing the clown, yeah, you’re painting the town
6) I beg of you don’t say goodbye, can’t we give our love another try?
7) All you have to do is close your eyes, and just hold out your hand
8) The radio and the telephone and the movies that we know, may just be passing fancies and in time may go
9) Comin’ on like you really love me, girl we haven’t gone that far
10) I swear that I’ll be true, I’ve made an everlasting vow to find a way to you
11) Don’t sigh and gaze at me, your sighs are so like mine
12) Forget all the time you have wasted, remember the love you have tasted, it will be yours again
13) Sometimes when I’m almost to surrender, then I stop and I remember, I have you to save my day
14) I see the wind, oh I see the trees everything is clear in my heart
15) Say my name sun shines through the rain, a whole life so lonely, then come and ease the pain
16) It’s hard to tell what’s right or wrong, but I just heard you sing my song, and I know you can hear it too
17) Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?
18) Let me see what life is like on Jupiter and Mars
19) This thing we’ve begun is much more than a pastime, for this time is the one where the first time is the last time
20) And still you steal each breath I’m breathing from me, with just a touch you overcome me

If anyone guesses all of them correctly, a hundred points to the appropriate house. Some of this is REALLY obscure. :D

And now:

Gilmore Girls spoilers!

*does happy dance*

Man, that self-help tape Luke listened to– hilarious! And the fact that he got the idea for Lorelai– heh. I loved his epiphany though. So well done! And then he asked her out! He’s confident! He’s pursuing!

It can’t last.

Those cats were hilarious. I think they’re animagi, actually.

They totally dropped most of the storylines from last week. So I guess we’ll have to wait to find out about Richard and Emily and DiggerJason.

But we’re one step closer to having my icon come true. And not just in a psych-you-out dream, either! Whoot!

Have done mucho plenty Wahleecon stuff. Everything is now being tracked in a spreadsheet. It makes me feel much better to have everything written down in one place.

    Eh. That was me. :)

    Wolf’s close with #14 — Depeche Mode didn’t do a cover of “Oh My Love”, but Martin Gore (of Depeche Mode) did. :)

    You refer to the original version, however — I saw your answers on LJ.

    Yeah, I realized when I posted my last entry that I never copy-and-pasted that entry over to here. Will remedy that when I get home. :P

    Hee. It’s the by a Swedish A Cappella group called The Real Group. This track is called “Song of Love,” from their “Commonly Unique” album. You can find info on them at their official website, and you can buy their albums at Primarily A Cappella
