The Lord’s Prayer is a classic …
but everyone needs some Dylan in their life.
Oh wow. You have to check out Wordle. I think I’m going to go turn more quotes into word cloud art now. I should probably post something interesting soon … but I’m still twittering away. Oh, and Euro Cup … Euro Cup owns my life right now.
I’m not sure what the inspiration was for this particular video, but I enjoy it to no end. I’m not sure what else to say, other than that I had no idea what rickrolling was until now.
In other news, I’ve discovered Twitter, and you can find me here.
I really need to formulate a good blog post one of these days. Makes me feel kind of useless, to have a blog and do so little with it. Although I wonder if anyone reads it at all. I just have to remind myself that I do this for me, not for other people.
P.S. Sorry for the rickroll.
My formative years were spent with cassettes, but by the time I reached adolescence, CDs were firmly established. That said, I missed out on the true art of the mixtape. I like to make sure my mixes flow, but I never learned the art of smoothly mixing on my home tape deck. Most of my mixing experience has been gained at my computer, with headphones and CDs. However, I love making mixes, and I think that the art carries something special that sets music lovers apart. We really listen. We try not to just hum along. We’re constantly on the look out for music that truly expresses what we hope to say. Perhaps, then, this search is the true (he)art of the mix.
Links galore!

I completely blame Olivia for this, by the way. 
Apparently, Ben Barnes, a.k.a. Prince Caspian, used to be in a boy band. And that boy band sang a damn catchy tune. Listen. It’s stuck in my head, and I felt it was only right to share the love.
For the most part, I believe they are tone deaf. They shouldn’t quit their day jobs …
Right now, I’m finishing up reading for my exam. And I can’t get enough of this song.
I think she sounds a bit like Fiona Apple on this track, but she’s got a really unique vibe. I cannot recommend this song highly enough, but take care to listen to the lyrics. Definitely not a brainless kind of song.
I don’t know why I love this video so much.
Anyway, this week looks to be stressful. I hope to jam through the rest of the projects I have to do. In a week, there are also final exams, so it’s almost over! Holy crap!
And then … D.C. and Boston! My new carrot at the end of the stick, besides yarn that I made my roommate hide. That’s a whole ‘nother subject. Really wondering whether I should just combine this blog and my knitting blog. Separating my life is horribly difficult, I think. That, and am I really that interesting? Then again, perhaps this one is just lots of inspiration and cool tidbits. Chi sa? (Who knows?)
I’ve been romping around broadway.com, and I’ve stumbled upon a number of lovely videos that I want to archive. For myself and for others, naturally.

I find it interesting that after leaving the show, JG gets to perform his character’s funeral song in a mini-concert. Oh, and do watch “Mr. Chess” as it’s interesting to hear others besides DS take on the material. Also, as they post the last three videos, I hope to add them to this little archive. I’m a nut. I know it. Here’s more proof.

And!
Rent is closing on June 1! That makes me sad, but watching Anthony Rapp narrate the last commercial and give some commentary makes me sadder.
Oh, Pachelbel …
Oh, and if you dig Rob and all of his craziness, find more of him at his website.
