Nikki posted a particularly scrumptious picture of Matthew McConaughey to our Wall of Sex, so I decided to represent my tastes by posting the screencap of shirtless Simon from “Objects in Space.” Ko and I spent a few minutes appreciating the image, then I resigned to the fact that I would not be able to concentrate on my Jabberwock model until I rewatched the shirtless scene. I invited Ko to join me. There was much lusting and general droolage.

Me: So are you still a Mal fan?

Ko: Mal who?

Life is so good. Shirtless Simon is even better. And now I can return to my modeling projects with the renewed energy! Huzzah!

It compensates nicely for my disappointment this evening over “Lady in the Dark” auditions. I think my monologue and scene went very well, but the singing portion? I was nowhere near my best. I wasn’t actively bad, but I don’t think I’ll be impressing anyone. I just chose the wrong song for my voice that day, and I wasn’t really warmed up, and the acoustics of the room were pretty awful, and all those other excuses. Oh well, here’s hoping I’ll get the chance to redeem myself. The director said he still hadn’t decided if he would hold callbacks, so I guess I’ll wait and see.

In other news, last night I saw Aaron’s Shakespeare Cafe, and he was utterly fabulous. Usually I’m not as fond of watching Shakespeare being performed, preferring to read it directly, but I take exception for the Underground Shakespeare Company. They are utterly awesome and quite hilarious. And afterwards, I returned to the room in time to get in on Ko’s culinary action — she made enchiladas for the suite, the boys, and a couple friends, and I was afraid that the shenanigans would be over by the time I returned. Mmmmmm, my belly is still singing in gastronomic delight.

  2. “We’re Not Sorry,” Urinetown — Clare, Renata,

  3. “Hello Mr. Zebra,” Tori Amos — Renata, Allison D

  4. “Happiness is a Warm Gun,” The Beatles — Renata

  5. Half a prayer, half a song; thou hast always been with me though we have been always apart. (Brenna should know, at least. Mom and Dad should know this!)

  6. “Eclipse,” Pink Floyd — Jume

  10. “Little Earthquakes,” Tori Amos — Renata, Clare

  11. “I Know,” BNL — Renata, Allison D

  12. I’m offensive, I’m a bigot, I’m a fraud, can you dig it? I’m a sexist, racist, homophobic, fat, pathetic putz. (*) (It’s been played on Air America, if that helps)

  13. “Another Brick in the Wall,” Pink Floyd — Renata, Allison D

  14. Some boys take dirty books to the john and give themselves a whack. I did the same with lithographs of thumbscrews and the rack. (*) (I’ve blogged about this song. It’s a bonus track for a new Broadway cast revival recording of one of my favourite shows. It’s from an early draft of the show.)

  15. “Jackie’s Strength,” Tori Amos — Clare

  16. Better than rain or rippling brook is a mug of beer inside this Took! (can you be more specific, Meghan? BTW, you guys are so lame for not getting this one. XD)

But, you see, one day, I was stolen from my mom by the aliens. (*) (come to think of it, I don’t think any of you guys that read my blog nowadays could recognize it, though I know I’ve played it for Ko. Matt and Luke introduced me Senior year.)

  25. “Defying Gravity,” Wicked — Clare, Renata, Allison D

I’ll post the full answers tomorrow morning. In the meantime, keep guessing!

Chungy is a DORK and UNCOOL and UNWORTHY OF MY AFFECTIONS.

Dude, when it’s your 20th birthday, BE NEAR A PHONE SO I CAN CALL YOU. I have been trying to reach you for 2 1/2 hours!

NO LOVE. *scoffs and returns to work on AT-ST walker model*

Meme! Ganked from Kell.

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play!

Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play!

Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from!

Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly! P.S: no cheating and pasting the lyrics into a search engine

I’ve got some slightly obscure stuff in here, but I think we’ll be able to account for nearly everything. Lyrics marked with an asterisk (*) are more unusual.

  1. All I wanna do is brush your teeth

  2. You who fly the blimp of evil shun upheaval in the air

  3. She thinks she’s Kaiser Wilhelm

  4. When I hold you in my arms, and I feel my finger on your trigger, I know nobody will do me no harm.

  5. Half a prayer, half a song; thou hast always been with me though we have been always apart.

  6. All that is now and all that is gone and all that’s to come and everything under the sun is in tune when the sun is eclipsed by the moon

  7. If you can do the Bart, then you’re bad like Michael Jackson

  8. The costumes, the scenery, the makeup, the props, the audience that lifts you when you’re down / the headaches, the heartaches, the backaches, the flops, the sheriff that escorts you out of town

  9. Everybody seems to think I’m lazy. I don’t mind, I think they’re crazy.

  10. Yellow bird flying, get shot in the wing. Good year for hunters and Christmas parties.

  11. If a hundred monkeys each could get their own show, perhaps one day a chimp might say “‘You have faith, you just need to use it’ sayeth the Lord”

  12. I’m offensive, I’m a bigot, I’m a fraud, can you dig it? I’m a sexist, racist, homophobic, fat, pathetic putz. (*)

  13. We don’t need no education, we don’t need no thought control, no dark sarcasm in the classroom, teacher leave those kids alone

  14. Some boys take dirty books to the john and give themselves a whack. I did the same with lithographs of thumbscrews and the rack. (*)

  15. If you love enough, you’ll lie a lot. Guess they did in Camelot.

  16. Better than rain or rippling brook is a mug of beer inside this Took!

  17. I’m tired of having to sing everything! Can’t we just talk? (*)

  18. I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.

  19. In volitaile market, only stable investment is porn!

  20. Let’s find a rock–I mean a big-ass rock–or maybe something like a cinderblock is better. I’ll hoist it up and drop it on your face, my buddy.

  21. Take it slow, and daddy-o, you can live it up and die in bed.

  22. What’s with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for, anyway?

  23. So if anyone asks about you and me, you have two alternatives. You can either say, “Oh yes, it’s true, we’re living in delicious sin.” Or you can simply tell the truth.

  24. (Translated from Romanian) I was born in a gypsy camp, in a glade in the wood. I was a rambler since childhood, like all the gypsies. But, you see, one day, I was stolen from my mom by the aliens. (*)

  25. Too late for second-guessing, too late to go back to sleep. I’ve got to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap.

Any takers?
