Way to go, Superstar Allyson!! I'll have to brag on you at the bookstore, and see if I can pull your book out for display somewhere prominent.
Going back really quickly to laundry issues, I was able to borrow a quarter from another resident/laundry doer in the laundry room this morning and dry those really wet clothes a second time, as well as do the last load I didn't have room for the first time around. I still have two more loads to do later this week, so I have to snag 14 more quarters ($1 for wash, $.75 to dry for 45 minutes) and make sure I don't use that not-spinning-well washer this time. Oh, and get that $1 that the washer ate back from the rental office.
I did have a drying rack full of shirts that I always airdry due to shrinkage issues (they always seem to lose 3-4 inches in length when I machine-dry them, and with my long torso, that's the last thing I need), but underwear, towels, pants, nightshirts, and sweats, I prefer to machine dry for the toasty warmness and no wrinkling.

Does anyone have a link to that site that discusses the use of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah on TV as emotional shorthand, and sort of charts the progress of the voers. I cannot find it!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
YAY ALLYSON!!! And I hope your back feels better ASAP.

Sadly, no, but Plei might. I did just post to my LJ that I really want to hear My Chemical Romance do a balls-out cover of it.

I really want an actual moritorium on any version of Hallelujah for at least 5 years.

Sadly, no, but Plei might.
There was a link to it in my LJ a while back. Don't have it off the top of my head, but the author came and responded to the discussion, and was actually pretty cool about it.

Concur. It's a No Fly Zone.
MCR will just have to pick another super dramatic emotional song. Maybe they should do a concept album about a guy dying of cancer. That sounds dramatic.
In lieu of that, they should cover "Stay Together" by Suede.

This is actually what made me think of it. That song is so weird because I have loved it, and it has made me cry, and now it has been used in so many montages that it actually makes me laugh out loud when I hear/see it juxtaposed with "heart-rending images.
