Gimme a W! Gimme an F! Gimme a W-A-R-M... F-U-Z-Z-Y!

By the way, I've set a record lately for private posts, posts only one person can see, posts only a few people can see, and so forth. It's not you; the world has felt big and confusing lately, on the verge of unbelieveable even. I used to feel this way all the time when I was a little kid.

Today felt nice though. Today I got my annual review. Those are not always fun, but this time my only complaint was the lack of negative feedback... if things are so great, what am I supposed to be working on improving, huh? (I can think of a million things I ought to be working on improving.) Oh well, I like the phrase universally respected, I like it a great deal. I liked ready to take on more technical leadership as well. Happy wiggles and warm fuzzies! :)

flexagon: What I want to do eventually is be a technical team leader, like Dan the Cat has been until recently.
Silver Fox (laughing slightly, looking ostentatiously at watch): How about starting, ohhhh, about...
flexagon (also laughing): No!

And in news almost as lovely, I'm going to trapeze school again on Monday afternoon! It'll be my second time flying, and I'll be with two first-time beginners (heisenbug and a new friend I'm making at work). Even if it can't be as great as last time, I still plan to have a lot of fun. I just adore the surreal setting, with the trapeze in the jelly-bean landscape and the laser light show.

Lyrics meme - can you recognize these songs?

A long time ago I started to do this meme I picked up from witch_kat, where you put some electronic music system on
shuffle and list the first line or two of lyrics from the first 25
songs that come up. You ask your friends to identify the songs
(without search engines), and as they're correctly identified you mark
them in bold. Found this in my drafts on gmail and realized I never
posted it. So here are my songs -- the first 25 that actually had
recognizable English lyrics and you'd have a shot at getting, anyway.
Have fun!

1.
suede
you always felt like suede
there are days I feel your twin

2.
nothing like this
felt in a kiss
cannot resist

3.
london calling
through the faraway towns

4.
and if I die today
I'll be the happy phantom

5.
dark night is dawning after all
strengthless but standing after all
i do not fear this after all

6.
the lunatic is on the grass
the lunatic is on the grass

7.
not tonight, Josephine
In an army's strength
therein lies the denouement

8.
I'll see you later
I can't imagine why

9.
I wanted to be with you alone
and talk about the weather

10.
Just take this candle
It's the one you gave to me
It has enough light
Just enough to torture me

11.
Always in my thoughts, you are
Always in my dreams, you are

12.
I thought that you knew it all
Yeah seen it ten times before

13.
All the world just stopped tonight
So you say you don't wanna stay together anymore

14.
Living as an angel in the place that I was born
Living on air, living in heaven

15.
I was staring out the window
the whole time he was talkin' to me

16.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

17.
Can you patch my jeans, Peggy Anne
just a little stitch to mend the hole

18.
I ain't lookin to compete with you
Beat or cheat or mistreat you

19.
Fell off the edge again down in Juarez

20.
And the hallway moves like the ocean moves
and the hallway moves like the sea

21.
Tears on the sleeve of a man
Don't want to be a boy today

22.
How fast can I drink my silver tea (?)
While relay cameras monitor me

23.
Oh it's opening time down on fascination street

24.
And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caught up on this line again

25.
Excuse me but can I be you for a while
