The original Matilda's none too joyous either.
Other sad songs of mine--well, Prince can certainly sing up a good cry: Sometimes It Snows in April and others from Parade (Under The Cherry Moon, frex) qualify. Then there's 80s British Apoca-pop (Life In A Northern Town, Enola Gay--even when they weren't about the end of the world nuclear style, they still had similar melancholy).
Love the photos from Allyson's visit with the babes. So cute. They are becoming so much more alert! wow.
I am soooooo tired. must go to bed.
The original Matilda is the one about the Jolly Swagman down beside the Billabong.
Yup. I listened to
And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
on the bus back from Gallipoli. It's a phenomenal song.
Of course, the original
Waltzing Matilda
is about a sheep thief who'd rather drown himself than be taken into custody, so it's not exactly a mood lifter either.
Great. Sex is happening the apartment over from me.
poor ita. Listening to someone else's sex is JUST NOT RIGHT.
Great. I'm on my second nosebleed of as many days. Wide awake now. Guess I'll be getting that laundry done now. If I ever stop bleeding, that is.
Poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a double Buffista birthday: Dana and Ellie, Stephanie's daughter, both have a birthday today.
Happy birthday, Dana! Happy birthday, Ellie and Ellie's mom! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Thanks, Nilly! You made my day. I posted links to pictures of Ellie over in Bitches. There are cuter ones, but this is my favorite birthday picture from her party on Saturday [link]
And Happy Birthday, Dana, since, you know, it's not all about us!
Ha! Sneaky Ellie! Very cute!
Happy Birthday to Ellie and Dana!
