You might have more room in your brain, but your life would be meaningless.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

If I only had a brain...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And less rhyme-y.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Heh. So true. Isn't it nice to know a lot? (And a little bit not.)
During my (short) break from smoking last week, I got in the car thinking "How in hell am I not going to smoke in the car?". Wesley, my iPod, brought up the twelve minute opening to Into the Woods. It was like a challenge. Got me all the way to work.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Life's more painless
For the brainless.

Ack! Firstly, it's "It's a LOVELY Day for a Murder", and it's not from Assassins, though I always think of it as such. It's actually from and Rodgers and Hart musical called Higher and Higher.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Dana, it completely frelled the flow of the end of the show for me, straight from "Hail to the Chief" into "Everybody's Got the Right". It doesn't really work thematically for me, either. The show's not about The People. It's about these people, sitting on the outside, and trying to get a piece of their version of the dream.
(Chi, I've been bouncing between songs from that show all month, but, not Sondheim.)

I do agree with that. I missed the transition. But it seems like such a classic Sondheim song to me. It's "Someone in a Tree". It's any song where Sondheim has ever dealt with multiple viewpoints on an issue.

Hey. New board.
Dammit, now I have to listen to Wicked when I'm done with George.
Hate you all.
Oh, wait. Meant "Love".
Need to stop reading this thread and write my paper though. If I come back, beat me.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That makes sense, I just can't get past the-song-in-context, as the show hangs together so precariously, anyway.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Heh. We had an intense discussion Sunday night about Assassins and Tommy. I've not been able to sit through either of them, and Zach adores them. I like the Who's recording of Tommy, but the stage recording has the precise, bright qualities that make me dislike musicals in general (even Wicked).
