Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Weirdly, when I was in high school, a friend's mom pointed out to us that brown eyes were actually less common (don't know if this is true) and we used to sing "Brown Eyed girl" on the piano roll!!! for her and me, because we were the only two brown eyed girls in our group (the mom and I).
I didn't read The Bluest Eye until college, so I didn't have that association. I thought more that blue eyes were the closest to violet eyes, and we all know that violet eyes are the best!
Yay ita.
Another science podcast. How to Think about Science. It's actual a series from the radio program Ideas and has a limited run, but it's 24 55 minute episodes, so it will keep you going for a while. [link]
I will have Allyson include:
Kool Moe Dee, "I Go to Work"
Afrika Bambaataa, "Renegades of Funk"
Kurtis Blow, "The Breaks"
I just told my cat she's weird. Because she is. I just spent the last few hours here, giving her lots of attention. Then I left to go to the store and was back a 6-ish minutes later. So I get home and she's all meowing all freaked out that I was gone for a bit.
Once my housing situation sorts itself out, I may get her a kitten to keep her company.
When I started wearing contacts in sixth grade, I really wanted the colored kind that would make my eyes look blue or green. My mom said no. I'm grateful for that now, but thought it was So Unfair then.
We're bouncing around the living room to The Freaks Come Out at Night by Whodini! FUN!
ETA: I wish Jesse was here.

msbelle, have you ever heard of the Dream Warriors? Probably not, they were Canadian. But they had a couple of songs that were a lot of fun and clean.

Sue - Heard of them - have the album, saw them live twice (S.O.B.'s shout out), and partially have a hat with KING on a metal plate on it because of King Lou. Yeah - they are on the list.
this is fun - happy music - fun memories.
Natasha Bedingfield, believe it or not, has had some charts with hip hop influence on each of her last two releases-- Drop Me in the Middle off Unwritten and Love Like This off Pocketful of Sunshine.
What about the M.I.A. charts off Slumdog Millionaire?
