i dream of jeannie

... or cutie pie. yep, the cutie pie. i dreamt of him again. can't divulge much of what happened, partly because of privacy issues (mine), partly because of secrecy issues (like, someone is bound to get it, and i'm busted), but mostly because i can't remember much.

but from what i do recall, several kilig moments. as if they ever go beyond that. but then, much less in real life!

at least i know that god has a sense of humor. here i am going all crazy, and he gives me comic relief.

so i'm going back to crazy mode again. 24 hours to construct a paper? why do i even bother...

have a break, part n + 1

in honor of a major revamp of my iRiver playlist. here are the newest and most notable additions.

foo fighters, everlong -- this triggered my most recent music recall phase. i'm now going through in your honor after about two years of ignoring the darn mp3s. i'm pretty sure this song will be a subject of a future "songs of my life" post so i won't pre-empt that. but having seven foo songs on my player (plus marty's rockstar inxs performance) is kinda telling how much i like them right now. and this is the first time i heard the original version of times like these (i've only ever heard of the acoustic version, same as everlong) and it rocks.

btw, i read somewhere that when dave letterman came back to his show after having heart surgery or something, he introduced the foos as his favorite band, playing his favorite song, which was everlong.

chris cornell, black hole sun -- i normally stay away from anything chris cornell, but i kinda like this mp3 from the bbc sessions that i picked up over on the office network. there's also a cover of you've got to hide your love away that isn't bad at all.

akon, smack that -- having a seatmate who is into so much r&b and all that kinda stuff sometimes does rub up on you. so maybe i'm a closet r&b junkie (or whatever this stuff is actually called). i always think of it as good driving music.

katharine mcphee, over it -- another great (and most fortunate) find from aforementioned officemate. i just can't get over this song, so lyrics are posted here:


i'm over your lies
and i'm over your games
i'm over you asking me
when you know i'm not okay
you call me at night
and i pick up the phone
and though you be tellin' me
i know you're not alone

oh and that's why your eyes
i'm over it
your smile
i'm over it
realized
i'm over it, i'm over it
i'm over

wanting you to be wanting me
no that ain't no way to be
how i feel, read my lips
because i'm so over
(i'm so)
movin' on, it's my time
you never were a friend of mine
hurt at first, a little bit
but now i'm so over
i'm so over it

i'm over your hands
and i'm over your mouth
trying to drag me down
and fill me with self doubt

oh and that's why your world
i'm over it
so sure
i'm over it
i'm not your girl
i'm over it, i'm over it
i'm over

(oh) don't call, don't come by
ain't no use don't ask me why
you'll never change
there'll be no more crying in the rain
no, oh oh
i'm over it

-- katharine mcphee, over it
