Weekend Roundup (sorta)

First, the cards are all done and in the mail. Depending on how far you are from me, they should be there by the end of the week.

Second, I've been so slammed at and tired from work that I haven't checked my flist a lot lately, so please forgive me if I haven't responded to any of y'all. It doesn't help that posts from at least one of you are only sporadically appearing on my flist. (I can't see about 5 or 6 random posts by the person on my flist page, despite being able to read them directly off that person's account page.) So again, please forgive me.

Thirdly, since I'm not spending Christmas with anyone this year, I decided to get myself some gifts. I got this tiny little tabletop tree, which I've decorated, and put in out on my coffee table. My company gave everyone in my clinic $50 Amex gift cards as a reward for being the "bestest clinic EVAR!!!" or some shit, and I used it to buy some TPB comic collections. I immediately stuck those suckers in a gift bag, unread, and put them under the coffee table. I won't read 'em until Xmas Day, I promise. ;-)

Musical Merry-Go-Round

Quick game for my peeps: below are lyrics from 5 random songs on my computer. First person to correctly identify each song by title and artist gets to post their own lyric challenge in the comments.

1) "I saw my baby, crying hard as babes could cry." - Magic Dance by David Bowie - reset_smith, who challenges:

• "The image still hurts my eyes.
  White chlorine burns so bright.
  Sometimes I fear the night.
  When addiction became surprise."

2) "He woke up at nights.
He thought he was twice.
He was moving away
cause everyone thinks that it goes away with age."

3) "On a gathering storm comes a tall, handsome man in a dusty black coat..." - Red Right Hand by Nick Cave - igrantbear, who challenges:

• "You catch the pearl and ride the dragons wings"

4) "I am aware it's just a movie. I'm aware that it's cliché."

5) "When the world keeps coming down on me, let it go!" - Jenny Says by Cowboy Mouth - hax0rcub, who challenges:

• "You are what you are, you dream what you dream."

6) "You gotta take the elevator through the mezzanine" - Super Bon Bon by Soul Coughing - boysnightout82

Have fun!
