ljpliceasePeople you love, will turn their backs on youI've never had someone tell me, "Wow me too!" when I told them that my favoritest band in the world is Cake. Maybe it is just the way that I interpret their songs though, but I feel like I relate to what John McCrea is singing about, and of course I interpret "the end of the movie" in this song to be when the credits end, not when they start. I'm mostly in the minority on that one too.
you'll loose your hair, your teeth,
your knife will fall out of its sheath
but you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
People you hate, will get their hooks into you
they'll pull you down, you'll frown
they'll tar you and drag you through town
but you still don't like to leave before the end of the movie
no you still don't like to leave before the end of the show
Cake, "End of the Movie" from Pressure Chief
A friend of mine who shall remain nameless [1] asked recently, "Do we have the tape?"
...and I was like, "you guys got VHS?"
...and she was like, "oh I meant DVD, it's just easier to say 'tape' ... fewer syllables."
...and I'm of course like, "how about 'disc'?"
I realize I am splitting the most irrelevant of hairs for the majority of the population out there, but I know Tyler would never confuse or abuse terminology, and I miss that about him and his appreciation and understanding of quality in media. Of all my friends he is probably the most likely to understand why I wanted to get this silly G5 with excessive memory to manipulate photographs (and dude, why getting a dell wouldn't cut it), in part because he has his own silly G5 which he uses to manipulate sound effects (and he does it very well).
Tyler is also one of the few people who will wait and watch the credits with me when we go see movies.
[1] Because she is a good friend, and it sounds like I am splitting hairs - and I am - but only for the purpose of dissecting the weird way that I look at the world, not to exercise critical thinking on my friend. My friends are awesome.
