and sundry

First, the answers to the lyric meme:

I'm so impressed. Ten out of twenty is very good, considering the randomness of the songs and the brevity of the lines. The other ten were:
02 "I start it, I end it / I kill and words will defend it" Operation Ivy - Missionary
04 "There's a moon over Bourbon Street tonight" Sting - Moon Over Bourbon Street
05 "Whatever" Liam Lynch - United States of Whatever
09 "This is my stuff / Got to get off" Splendora - Standing on my Neck (aka the theme from "Daria")
11 "Into you so far our words go / so much clearer then you hear" Matthew Sweet - Farther Down
12 "I'm good for inspiration, aren't I?" Snow Patrol - 15 Minutes Old
14 "The hour is out of joint / Black sun has risen" David Gray - Let The Truth Sting
15 "Been given 24 hours / To tie up loose ends" Jem - 24
17 "Come down to my house" Garbage - Supervixen
19 "Dear God / Broken life / Come on / Laugh this time" Dillinger Escape Plan - Baby's First Coffin

However, I must point out my utter surprise at no one guessing number 4! Duuuudes! The entire title is in the first line! :P

If anyone wants a listen to any of these, just let me know, and I'll upload it.

The other thing:

The plague is still here. It comes and goes. Martinis are still making everything better. *g*
