ita !, I meant to tell you that my Jamaican student is related to Patterson. I asked her the other day.

OMG people, no one can die. lalalalalala I cannot here you. imaginary people in the box live forever and that is that.

I plan on flash mobbing anyone's service on here who dares leave. There might be songs from OMWF, there might also be loud reciting from the random quote generator.

I'd like "This Is My Song," but the UU version without the dominion-y bits. (This without the last verse.)

I went to the gym and picked up a new card so I have one less excuse to not work out. Then I decided that was as close to exercise as I was going to get today and got a pedicure.

I dunno. Maybe tubthumper?

(Please do not actually play tubthumper at my funeral. My mother will be really confused.)

I'd like Basement Jaxx's "Do Your Thing." Seriously! It's a song you can't hear without wanting to grin and dance.

My mother is in a choir and their choir director had a heart incident during rehearsal. Luckily a retired nurse (!) was in the choir and she immediately got bags of ice and put it on his chest while doing chest compressions waiting for the ambulance. Apparently she kept the man alive until the paramedics came.

That's what I said! Lyrically.

I don't know if I know your song. I mean, I probably do, but I can't place it.

Score! I am putting together an art box for art class, and I went to the art store and got supplies, and a box identical to one I already have, so I needed a way to differentiate the one with all the soft pencils and woodless pencils, and charcoal pencils and shit, and I knew I had stickers, because I am the sort of person that people give stickers to. But my hunt, while turning up all sorts of memories (and a coupon for a deep relaxation massage that I totally need to find out if it's still valid), NO STICKER. But, lo and behold, STICKER (I can't find the Batman one I actually have, but it's in that series). I've probably committed all sorts of crimes by actually sticking it to something, but fuck that. Batman is on my art box now.

"I'll Fly Away," Greg Brown's version of the Blake poem On Another's Sorrow, and many years ago I might have said "Be Not Afraid," but that's kind of overplayed by now. I don't want people at my funeral rolling their eyes at the playlist.

eta: ita !, I think Marley must have been borrowing the same lyrics; the bit you quoted is just about word for word from "I'll Fly Away."

For the record, my brownies are frigging delicious. And I remembered to tell the nut-allergic kid's dad that they were nut-free!

I love all your song choices! And now I am sniffly.

I like Warren Zevon's last album for that kind of material.
