Tiny art project: Draw six different cartoon expressions. Or, if that doesn't float your boat, what about drawing a bird using only a few lines?

Tsuga - I don't have your vim, vigour or valour, and the form of the villanelle was vexing me. It wasn't so much the constraints of meter but the fact that I couldn't phrase what I wanted to phrase within the vicarious constraints, and the fact I was trying to be vivacious.

So there.

I do applaud your off-the-cuff number, though, even though I stick my tongue out and waggle it at you insouciantly.

Lula - thank you, perfect, I'll take the second option.

i feel like i'm turning in my homework incomplete without the tunes...cry. whine. oh well. soon.

1300

woke up this morning thinking what'll i do
i couldn't find my princeton review
the test's in a week and i don't have a clue
I'm terrified and it's making me blue because

I might not get a 1300 on my SATs
I might not get a 1300 on my SATs
And if I don't have a 1300 to call my own
The Good Lord knows I'll probably die cold and alone

I play classical piano, I read a book each day
I hold three jobs and none of them pay
I do all my homework til it drives me to despair
I raised my baby sister, But Harvard won't care because

I might not get a 1300 on my SATs
I might not get a 1300 on my SATs
And if I don't have a 1300 to call my own
The Good Lord knows I'll probably die cold and alone

I saved a man from drowning
I saved Darfur too
I've met the president and i've lived in peru
I broke my ankle sprinting but i still won the race
But without a 1300 Princeton won't hear my case

I might not get a 1300 on my SATs
I might not get a 1300 on my SATs
And if I don't have a 1300 to call my own
The Good Lord knows I'll probably die cold and alone

Top stuff dude! I'll have that one on my megamix CD too (assuming you are compiling one for me. I hope so).

Did any of the artists feel even faintly inspired by the Liars' League poster request on p3?

mrg. everything i know about blues i learned from wikipedia.

um, i've got a different sort of request: does anyone have any good fiddle tunes I can learn? irish preferable, as it's what i'm studying. i don't have any recordings at my disposal at the moment. Nothing too scarily difficult, as i'll be doing it on cello which is like doing step dance if you're a gorilla.

and if anyone wants a writing homework--can anyone do anything with this sentence? my eye just fell on it:

"Enough. the pandas and the anacondas and the Chinese names won't give it up to me tonight."
