Darth Vader: I will have the penne a la arabiata.
Canteen Boy: You'll need a tray.
DV: Do you know who I am?
CB: Do you know who I am?
DV:This is not a game of "who-the-f*** are you," for I am Vader. Darth Vader. Lord Vader. I can kill you with a single thought.
CB: Well, you'll still need a tray.
DV: No I will not need a tray, I do not need a tray to kill you. I can kill you without a tray, with the power of the force which is strong within me. Even though I could kill you with a tray if I so wished, for I would hack at your neck with the thin bit until the blood flowed on the canteen floor...
CB: No, the food is hot, you'll need a tray to put the food on.
DV: Oh, I see, the food is hot, I did not realize, haha, haha. Oh, take the.. yes. I thought you were challenging me to a fight to the death.

Eddie Izzard - Circle
what a wasted 12 hours.

the coolest thing about this song is the chord changes from line to line. DL it and check it out.

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
but I'm a little glowing friend
but really I'm not actually your friend,
but I am
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
I've got a secret to tell
from my electrical well
it's a simple message and I'm leaving out
the whistles and bells
so the room must listen to me
filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one-word
spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
like the Longines Symphonette
it doesn't rest
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
but I'm a little glowing friend
but really I'm not actually your friend,
but I am
There's a picture opposite me
of my primitive ancestry
which stood on rocky shores and
Kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and
countless screaming argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
like guardian angels
its always near
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
who watches over you
make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul
(and while you're at it
leave the nite lite on inside that
birdhouse in your soul)
Not to put too fine a point on it:
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul

ooooh. Finals. Watch out.

I have a final paper to write, plus another research paper. Then there are two finals, one Saturday and one Monday. Some homework due Wednesday. I am going to die.

But hey, in a week, this gloom they call Autumn Quarter will come to a close, and I will be done. Woot.

Actually, life here is getting better by the day. I definitely feel more connected. Saturday evening was fantastic, mostly because I had my a cappella concert. The show itself was okay - I always enjoy singing - but the part that made me just overjoyed was the fact that so many people I knew came to see me perform. There were, of course, my high school buds, like Manzanita and Teasa and Possum Boy, but there were also new friends, like Q and BB, and LilHusky, and the clustermates of the high school buddies, and it all made me feel so loved. I couldn't believe how connected and "at home" I felt. I love familar faces.

We chose Secret Santas today, and I got this guy I don't really know. Ah well, Circuit City GiftCard time! Guys, tell me if you wouldn't use that. Or perhaps Best Buy... which is better?

I finally bought the Billy Joel CD I've been wanting for forever and a day - it's called Fantasies and Delusions: Music for Solo Piano. It is absolutely gorgeous. It was only 7 bucks - a nice change from the $20 it was when it first came out.

Just got back a half hour ago from bubble tea with a guy I met in the DC++ hUb. Smart thing to do? Prolly not. Fun? Definitely. nice guy, that Brahms. Screen names are so misleading.

til later.

I tried to discover a little something to make me sweeter
oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
i'm so in love with you
i'll be forever blue
that you give no reason
you know you're making me work so hard
that you give me no soul
i hear you calling
oh baby please
give a little respect to me
and if I should falter
would you open your arms out to me
we could make love not war
and live with peace in our hearts
i'm so in love with you
i'd be forever blue
what reason could drive a man to forsake his lover
that you tell me no soul
i hear you calling
oh baby please
give a little respect to me

i can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor
and I don't have to have these dreams no more
i've found someone just to hold me tight
hold the insomniac all night
