i was recently all tangled up in my itunes library. and i do mean tangled. itunes is horrible. anywho, i got to revisiting old friends and found this one. again. great ok go song. i remember listening to it on repeat for hours some number of years ago. it really captures some pretty good feelings.
“Oh Lately It’s So Quiet”
(Oh no) Oh lately it’s so quiet in this place
You’re not ’round every corner
(oh no) Oh lately it’s so quiet in this place
So darlin’ if your not here haunting me
I’m wondering…
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Whose sheets you twist
Aw. Whose face you kiss
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
(oh no) I don’t think much about you anymore
You’re not on every whisper, oh
(oh no) I don’t think much about you
But if you’re not lurking behind every curtain
I’m wondering…
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Whose name you hiss
Aw. Whose clenching fists
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Now Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Who can’t resist
Aw. Whose cryin’
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
Aw. Whose name you hiss
Aw. Whose sheets you twist
Whose house, are you haunting tonight?
some weird guy in georgia is doing something strange. how do i know he’s in georgia? because i used the who is thingy – that’s how. it’s *that* weird that i had to go all ‘whois’ on this one.
here’s the email i received the other day:
subject:
here is the information you requested
from:
the information technician
body:
there is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. the triumph of anything is a matter of organization. if there are such things as angels, i hope that they are organized along the lines of mafia.

i only received this one. so i googled it. and then, i commented on a blog where others have been tracking theirs too. so, i’m now being sent those as well. here’s a few:
history has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. they won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.

twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did. so throw off the bowlines. sail away from the safe harbor. catch the trade winds in your sails. explore. dream. discover.

i’m guessing this guy in georgia is like a do-gooder or nonprofit something or other, and he’s just trying to send random, positive, and/or thought provoking messages out into the internets in an effort to slowly and passively make the world a better place. and i guess this is just fyi, so that when people google it, they’ll end up here and i’ll get more traffic. sorry, people who googled it hoping for answers. i don’t have them. maybe try… google…
i recently held an open house at a home where the cat was very aggressive. usually the cats hide or slink around or stare holes into the back of my head from a far. not this one. very vocal and very interested. in me. and my presence.
i didn’t know the cat’s name so i had to just go with “cat”. also, i had no idea if it was a she or a him. and obviously that was a detail i didn’t require.
here are the things i said to one particular feline as it stalked me throughout its 2700 square feet of residential living space one sunday from 2 – 4pm.
You’re sort of aggressive, cat.
Listen cat, I don’t need your stupid hair all over my black sweater.
You’re unusually vocal, you.
Hey I know, just put your butt-hole in my face. Thx.
Oh good. You’re gonna tangle around my legs. Tremendous.
Hey cat, seriously. Get out of my face.
Ok cat, we’ve got people coming in. Look alive. Or just lick yourself I guess.
Ugh, cat. I just met you. I don’t want us to sit together.
Cat, you’re skinny.
Hey cat, where’s the scotch tape? Seriously. Rf needs to put up a sign.
Your paws are huge, cat. What’s that about?
Do you think we could maybe not spend the entire afternoon, all over each other?
So cat, would I successfully be able to turn the tables here if I incessantly stalked you around this place instead of how we’re doing it now ?
(Cat and I have a dance party when “evacuate the dance floor” comes on.)
Ugh. Really. You don’t need to come over here.
What. What can I help you with?
Ok cat. That’s it.
Fine. You just sit here then. I’ll move.
Hey!! Haha. Just wanted to wake you.
Cat. You’re killin me.
There’ s no way you’re a chick. Chicks do not sit like that, cat.
How are you seriously sleeping through this parade of people milling about your house? Cat. Hey, Cat. Hey…
Cat, looks like our time together is just about over. I wish you the best. Its been real.
Really cat? You’re not gonna say bye to me? After all that we’ve been through?
it didn’t. it literally slept through me clanging around and getting my stuff together as i prepared to leave. so then i slipped out the front door, made sure to extra slam it, and disappeared forever. and then went and lint-rolled my clothes for like an hour. can’t thank you enough, cats.
