All I'm really hoping for is money....debt sucks

He's still alive, isn't he?

Yeah and I've gained a fair amount since coming back from England....then again now I'm subjected to unhealthy dorm food and take the bus to class a lot, and when I was there I cooked pretty healthy meals and I walked a ton.

...and didn't drink nearly as much beer as Blue did

Happy Birthday

I can't believe no one has mentioned this one yet:

The Banana Boat Song (Day-O) - Harry Belafonte

I still remember the day Jim Henson died. I just sat there on the couch staring at the tv. What a loss. Me too....I was in 3rd grade at the time. We sang "rainbow connection" in music class that day, and I went home and watched <i>The Muppet Movie</i> and cried. I was only 9, but I was (a...

When RedShoes and I were in Ireland the car we rented didn't have a CD player, and we had no tapes. Eventually we found a store with a decent tape collection and we picked up Paul McCartney's Run Devil Run and Lou Reed's Transformer. By the end of our trip, we probably listened to each of the album...

Hmmmmmmmmmm....wonder who I can drag with me to that

Yeah, I'm not a fan of you becoming a monk. Go make yourself (another) snack, sweetie

And we must not forget...

How......can..........I..........compare........!?! I think they both have a great lyrical sense, each in their own way. Both hold a great sense of social justice and their songs have stood the test of time. Dylan somehow seemed more influential, as he was especially popular during a really crazy ti...

ACK! The Matrix was a <i>category</i> on Jeopordy tonight. Granted, it was a college edition (which featured a guy from my school....heh).

Does this piece of pop culture really deserve a Jeopardy category?

Ok, um...who can translate this?

He needs to make his way back to NYC for Letterman!

Though I'm not sure I like the is-she-pretty debate that has started (does it really matter?), I'm glad to see that people find her so attractive when she doesn't exactly fit the norm for what "should" be pretty. Yeah, she's blonde. But she's not anorexic-thin with the same baby-round face...

I thought this was what university life was all about?

Congrats! Any suggestions for those of us that are entering the real working world soon?

Dude, I think it's time you took a cold shower

Heh - hopefully you're not too scarred and left forever in fear of erasers

Woops!!!! That's what I get for only half-listening whilst I write. Thanks, Red, for spotting this and I'll be editing it so as not cause mass confusion.

No problem, bobster

Hehehehe - I'd never thought of the "period" thing being confused, but I can see how that would seem more than a little awkward. No rubber/eraser in Scotland? I actually don't remember hearing "rubber" while I was in England, but a few American friends claimed they did. Did you j...

Well I don't see Rose Maddox, but I do see an interview with Wanda Jackson - which includes <i>Crying Time</i> featuring E.C.

That's my all time favorite American/British confusion. That and asking for a rubber in class.

deny it and keep moving. Yes, keep moving, but make sure you get lots of sleep! For me at least, lack of sleep is when I get colds and as soon as I start getting what I need again, I clear up pretty quick. Then again, I tend to need a ridulous amount of sleep so maybe I'm an exception here :lol:
