I like the idea of a colouring contest. I was always really good at staying in the lines. Actually I won a colouring contest when i was in 4th grade. I believe the prize was a gift certificate of some sort. Gee..and since I know you cared SO much about that. i just must chip in my thoughts about sad songs (though I know that particular topic is just about dead..i'm a bit late to the party, so please excuse me). So here are some songs that make me cry: The two songs that made me cry most recently (yesterday, in fact): Ani DiFranco - Dilate, Untouchable Face Indigo Swing - She Dreams of Me the ones that make me cry whenever: The Beatles - In My Life, Golden Slumbers Tony Bennett - The Way You Look Tonight Cake - Stickshifts and Safety Belts Harry Connick Jr. - Where or When Billie Holiday - You Better Go Now Morphine - In Spite of Me, Cure for Pain Ben Folds Five - Selfless, Cold and Composed, Smoke, Evaporated Simon and Garfunkel - America R.E.M. - Nightswimming Jeremy Enigk - Explain Crowded House - Together Alone B&S - Fox In the Snow Leonard Cohen - Suzanne, So Long Marianne Jeff Buckley - Halleluja Sarah Mclachlan - Good Enough, Hold On, Mary Sting - My One and Only Love, Someone to Watch Over Me So i suppose that's enough of that weepy stuff. Now for songs that make me bounce around the room with unabashed excitement and happiness:-O!!!! They Might Be Giants - Birdhouse In Your Soul Ben Folds Five - Kate, Philosophy, She Don't Use Jelly Moxy Fruvous - My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors Weezer - Susanne, The Good Life Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - I'm Putting All My Eggs in One Basket Louis Prima - Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody Sarah Vaughan - One Mint Julep B&S - Seeing Other People, The State I Am In Squirrel Nut Zippers - Anything But Love, Pallin' With Al Legendary Jim Ruiz Group - Glad They're Gone, Urban Gentleman Trip Shakespeare - Down My Block Zumpano - I Dig You Cake - Daria Pink Martini - Brazil Alrighty then... Since we were talking about the pretentious arthouse cinema (wink wink, nudge nudge) anyway..I can't believe that no one has mentioned Contempt! Which I thought was brilliant. And that's IN SPITE OF the fact that I have to write a paper on it. Well, maybe it HAS been mentioned, I just haven't been reading the digests very carefully. bad courtney! bad! I finally visited Rod's page. I was endlessly amused and I cannot wait for his review of the Spice Girls concert. baited breath, I tell you;) Well i think I've been on this list for about a month now and I finally feel like I'm starting to know who some of you are. I wish I was as enlightenend and cute as jon g. and bethey when i was 15. but that was during the heyday of grunge..and I was clad in flannel and doc martens. Now I am clad in velvet and high heels. my how things change, eh? My dear Lord, i just realized how LONG this post is.. I feel so excessive. Whatever. ~Courtney The Sultraness of Swing "I didn't get a cat." ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
