because killer had more luck with hers.

Seriously. I feel like I can do this for hours - and it's always fun to see what other people have for music as well. And granted I am a tidge jealous that Killer's turned out better her second time around.

So let's do this!

Opening Credits: Make Someone Happy by Jimmy Durante

Waking Up: Undertow by Ivy (Seriously?! Come on!)

Average Day: Faith I Do Believe by Rusted Root (Clearly my iTunes loves Rusted Root - I wish I did as much as it did!)

First Date: No Alternative by DJ Sinister (maybe if I was still a raver...)

Falling in Love: It's a Sin by The Pet Shop Boys (Okay - kind of funny - plus total 80s synth beat I can never deny)

Fight Scene: Short Circuit by Daft Punk (like the song - especially when it breaks down halfway through - but only if we were robot fighting would this work!)

Breaking Up: The Way That You Love Me by Paula Abdul

Getting Back Together: Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve

Clearly totally doing this again tomorrow - perhaps twice!

Now the conundrum is whether to kitty sit for a friend who lives in the boonies. It's like, I'm a fucking loser because all my plans fell through for this weekend and I could always do with more money - but I don't know if I want to be a stranded loser. It'd be nice to think I could always do something if I wanted - even if all of my friends are out of town. Quite the conundrum...

let's do this at work.

See how it changes up with my iTunes at work...

So...not much better. I'm totally addicted to this!

your ex-lover is dead.

So...you know how sometimes you'll discover a song that you're obsessed with, and you're all, 'shit son, I've got to download that song for 99 cents!' and then you realize you actually have the song and it's like the coolest thing - especially when you got the download off of one of the sites you read daily? Yeah, it's like finding a five dollar bill.

Watching the Degrassi finale I was like, this is a great song, and I finally got around to looking up what song it was - and realized that it was a song I had that I kept on skipping on my iPod because I was unfamiliar with the song and usually in the morning, the most important time I'm listening to my iPod I need something to pump me up. It was even a song I kept on saying to myself I should delete, I mean "my ex-lover's dead," really? Really?

Turns out I'm like obsessed with the song now and I'm annoyed that my cursory searches haven't found me a band website run by the the band (Stars). Seems the word is just a tidge too common - and granted I haven't put that much effort into it yet, but I want it to be like one of the top five when I put 'Stars' into google. I digress though. Despite the fact it's an awesome fucking song - so now I have to think about buying the album. And figuring out still where and when I downloaded the song.

It's time to take two with that awesome fun little game though!

Especially because it's the best procrastination and my final paper is due on Friday. I know, already!

something silly.

Now, I rarely if ever do this type of shit - but this one has to do with music and I started just doing it, and it was kind of fun so I decided to do it and I'm essentially cribbing it from another website, but I figure it's all good. Especially since no one really reads this blog - but that starts to get into ethics and blah dee fucking blah I've already spent a whole day talking about them for class and I'm just pumped to be out.

So! Here are the instructions: Open your choice of music player [iTunes, Limewire, Kazaa, Windows Media Player etc] and put it on shuffle. Press play. For every question type the song that’s on. And when you go to a new question press the next button. DONT CHEAT or it won’t be fun.

Opening Credits: One Evening by Feist.

Breaking Up: Drinking in L.A. by Bran Van 3000.

Getting Back Together: Believe by Voodoo Warriors of Love (um...the name of the band is much more fitting than the actual song).

Secret Love: Don't Panic by Coldplay (Love this song though - I believe it's been played over 600 times on my iTunes player at work).

Life's Okay: How to Save a Life by The Fray (good song! and somewhat fitting!).

Mental Breakdown: Breakaway by Kelly Clarckson (ha!).

Driving: Photobooth by Death Cab for Cutie (this is becoming less fun as this goes on...I want better songs coming up).

Deep Thought: Sweet Jane by The Velvet Underground.

Flashback: Swing My Way (Remix) by K.P. & Envyi

Partying: All I Need (Radio Edit) by Morgan Page

Regretting: Let's Get it On by Marvin Gaye

Long Night Alone: Everything I Said by The Cranberries

Death Scene: Who Needs Sleep by The Barenaked Ladies (okay that's pretty awesome).

I'm so doing this again tomorrow.

Oh - Germany fucking won today! WoooooooooooT!!!!

TooooooooRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

deep dark confession time.

I have become totally, inappropriately obsessed with another show.

I'm not sure if it's because it's summer time and all my favourite shows are on repeat or just not fucking on right now.

Or if it's because repeats of the show - that I have yet to see - are on repeat, like, all. the. time.

Or, perhaps that I'm another network's bitch. Goodbye Showtime! Hello The n.

I'm a little ashamed. Scratch that, I'm a little embarassed. I mean it is a channel targeted at teens, but I actually don't give a fuck right now. It's home to like my favourite shows right now. South of Nowhere? Check! Summerland repeats? Check! (Though I do have to say that I don't enjoy re-watching them as much as I thought. I'm not even fauxvo-ing them). Most importantly right now? Degrassi: The Next Generation? Check! Check! Check!

I don't even know how it happened. I know I started watching The n for South of Nowhere (hottest guy on TV hands down - plus fun storyline. You can't go wrong), and then there were these other guilty pleasures, and it was a small Degrassi episode here when you're hung over and using the remote from the bed and don't have the energy to angle the remote just right - hello studio life! - and another procrastinating episode there, and a cute gay boy character and BAM! I'm sucked right in.

I mean obsessed. Oh and don't forget to add in the peppiest theme song like ever! and you have the greatest guilty pleasure fo the summer. I mean I fucking heart Canadians right now. Thank you for providing me with this entertainmnet.

Granted, with my job job, school work, internship I don't necessarily have the time - but I'm LOVING it! This might have to do with the fact that I don't have the time to be watching it, so it's a little like stealing out of the cookie jar - but seriously? A high school show that deals with among other things: abortion, gay bashing, awful hair cuts and fashions, school shootings, bullying, eating disorders, inter-affairs, mental disorders, cutting...you can imagine it's pretty fucking awesome. Thanks Canucks!

Loving a high school show this much is really my deep dark secret for the summer. It's fucking good stuff though. As Killer said, "Good thing you can't download this on iTunes!"

Damn straight. I'm poor enough as it is. It is next Friday yet?

couldn't resist!

This is for Stretch!

And I think the funniest line is the mention that sales went down from 2004 to 2005. It's like Stretch left town and suddenly their sales dropped!

tor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Germany has won the first match against Costa Rica 4 to 2!!!!

It's killing me that I can't watch the games! Luckily I was able to watch part of the first half when I happened upon a game playing in one of the buildings where I had to drop off a form.

Thank goodness it went to half time otherwise I think I might have stayed until the end of the game. Which? Wouldn't look so good at the job!

I fucking LOVE this time of the year. It gets so exciting!

I did a little victory loop around the office with fists raised!

It also kills me, sitting and looking at the page, waiting for the update!

People. It doesn't get better than this!

the final countdown!!!

It's that time again. What time is that you ask? Now a good guess would be to assume something about school work - but more importanly you'd be wrong.

It's that fucking amazing time again - World Cup Time Bitches!!!!

It's only a few days away and I can't even stand it!

It does make me sad though that there are so few here that are excited about it. Growing up time would stop during the World Cup. Your social life would revolve around the World Cup. Everyone would meet up downtown to watch the games together - or even with your family members and really was the only thing worth talking about.

The sheer energy was what made it so much more fun - and I still miss it to this day - just not the same here. Though it's been pretty cool meeting at least two other people recently that are really into it.

Only a few days away - and it makes me terribly sad that I won't be in Germany for any of games, much less attending the games, but at least I have my team Germany shirt that will be getting lots of use during the two weeks. People will be all, um, you're kind of rocking that shirt too much!

On a side note, how fucking cute is the Brangelina baby. Teeny tiny adorable. Good on you! No one has seen Suri yet - does she really exist?
