... is this a serious question?

Hotel. God, hotel. I don't hate camping, but it is not 500-thread-count sheets and room service and a pool.

I wanna be the person who writes these things. They are the dumbest ever.

It's been a while since we played this, huh? Guess the song titles; Google is cheating. Correct answers win ... well, nothing, but you can feel smart for five minutes.

1. I can't see much of a future/ Unless we find out what's to blame

2. Even at school I felt quite sure/ That one day I would be on top

3. Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah

4. This time, this time, this time/ Is whatever I want it to mean

5. You've seen me at my worst/ And it won't be the last time I'm down there

6. I have no time for sentiment/aspire to greater things

7. Ooh, try a little harder/ You're moving in circles

8. How's your new love? Are you happy? /Hope you're doin' fine

9. I swear it happened just like this: a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss/ the Gates of Love they budged an inch

10. Your body's a dream that turns violent/and that's the way I like it

11. Give her some time/ Give her some space/ All that she meant was good

12. Hooked on glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen/ We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine

13. They're waiting on the sunrise or the armageddon/ doesn't matter which ever comes first

14. And you're the one, there's no-one else/ who makes me want to lose myself

15. I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

16. There are songs that'll make your skull ring like a dropped cup

17. I think I like today/ I think it's good/ It's something I can't get my head around

18. I gotta be clear too, that you are here to/ Find a false witness, it's somebody near you

19. It's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away when I am missing you to death

20. While up above, where the/ looking glass skies/ Go on and on, on and on

EVERYONE is answering this one, and, actually I liked the '90s, when I was a teenager for real. There was still a little alternative edge to culture -- everything hadn't been absorbed into this big mash to be spoon-fed to us. There were things like Riot Grrl and zines that you had to seek out. And, before the Lewinsky mess, Clinton seemed really cool as a president. We were at peace, the economy was good, and gender roles were expanding. (Though not as much as they have even now.) And I could see the Internet being born as a cultural force! Not having the Internet is a big strike against ye olden days for me, sadly enough.

I might make myself just a few years older --like, say, 16 instead of 14 in 1992 -- so I could have seen a couple concerts I missed out of youth and lameness, but for the most part? Being born in 1978 is just fine with me.

Yeah, I got sucked in again this season. Sorry, "cycle."

Just wanted to link to a neat picspam of "Chuck" Behind the Scenes shots. I don't wanna mess up her bandwidth by hotlinking, so I'll just say this is possibly my favorite shot of Zachary Levi ever.

I am good, by the way. Work is trying to kill me, but I think I'll get by.

I'm one of the many, many people who has been trying to ignore the RaceFail discussion on the general theory that big Internet arguments are stupid and the Internet should be used for more important things, like RPGs and LOLCats. (Note to the slow: That was sarcasm. But I do try to avoid wank these days.) Plus, I couldn't even tell what it was about -- it seemed to have turned into one of those arguments that's so far removed from the source that at this point people are arguing about arguing.

ANYHOW, a few things I've been linked to today gave me at least a partial understanding. I really loved dolphin__girl's post on Yelling Class, for one, and mpoetess just posted a good summary without links.

Beyond that, I know white privilege exists, I know being colorblind is a noble goal but the wrong one, and I am going to try to be more conscious about reading/watching media produced by people of color. I'm not sure what else I can say; I think my job, really, is to sit down, shut up, and try to listen.

Go vote, people.
