Well.

So we heard from the in-laws today. They're back in port, in LA. Had a wonderful time. And can't fathom why on earth we didn't just assume they made the boat right away and quit worrying.

-_-;

And AJ was grumpy on the phone. I guess he wasn't ready to get off the boat. *wry grin*

Anyway. Because they're fun, and good for my soul, a pair of memes that I've more or less done before but am doing again.

This one, stolen from Sorcha:

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike-out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

If the first line contains the title, it's either ellipses-ed or I'll use the line after. Instrumentals and non-English tracks that I don't half-know the lyrics to already were skipped, so...it's more like 70 tracks I went through to get these. Good luck.

Comic-verse Nightcrawler! Though we'd never last. That devout christianity of his would just get in the way, alas. *le sigh*

[identity profile] bronzetigress.livejournal.com 2006-12-25 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It probably would, yes. *sigh* Too bad. He's so... *blue*. :)

And that's *two* things #17 *isn't* that I've found, now. *grumbles*

[identity profile] tj-dragonblade.livejournal.com 2006-12-25 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! I loves the song. Danny Elfman is just...something about his music strikes a resonant chord with me.

And yeah, somehow, Kenren and Kenshin especially have very complementary personalities.
