I have a music project for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
our_project to do, a kitchen full of dirty dishes (*sigh* I wasn't home sick all day yesterday, and I brought dinner home, soooo...yeah. Not mine.) that will have to be done before anything else, because, well, ew - and I have a small list of things to get outside the house that I'll save for when the heat of the day is on and I need some A/C to cool off.
I hit a new record yesterday coming home - I've broken the $30 mark for a tank of gas. Go me.
I'd go driving around the garage sales this morning looking for a bike, except...I just spent $30 on a tank of gas. If I pass one running errands today, I'll let you know.
24. 'My Immortal' -- Evanescence (2002) A whimpering post-breakup tune in which lead singer Amy Lee pitifully mourns the end of a relationship over a piano accompaniment that sounds like Pachelbel after the Prozac wore off. 'My Immortal' closely follows the "quantum tragedy paradigm": the shorter the time two people spent together as a couple, the more overwrought the song is that describes their break-up. Judging by the lorry-load of anguish Lee spews out, she split from someone she dated for about an hour (if her lyrics are to be believed, the guy was a real freak, too).
What do Pink Floyd, Bette Midler and Metallica have in common? They've all written horribly depressing tunes, according to Tom Reynolds, author of I Hate Myself and Want to Die. He offers his top 25 miserable tracks - and it's hysterical.
Me, I'm going to go have some pineapple coffee cake I got with dinner at the Local Place last night - and watch some anime again.
Such excitement.

20. 'All By Myself' -- Celine Dion (1996) The Canadian superstar's bombastic cover of Eric Carmen's 1970s hit about loneliness is the audio equivalent of the fire-bombing of Dresden. Celine's vocal histrionics surpass the blood-soaked psychic fury which slaughters the prom-goers in the movie Carrie. Had Ms Dion been around during D-Day, the Allies could have dropped her off at Omaha Beach with a PA system and have her sing 'All By Myself' until the German infantry bayoneted themselves.
Tee hee.
