Normally, you know, I would make more of an effort to have actual content here, but tonight, not so much. Because -- damn you, paper! Damn you to HELL!

So I'm going to be up all night till I get the damn thing done, but I can't get on AIM or IRC because, um, too much distraction. But I need *something*, and god knows I'm going to be checking my email eight million times tonight. Therefore, I implore you all: if you love me, leave me diverting comments tonight! Guess at lyrics. Give me comment porn or weird-ass tiny due south or firefly snippets. Tell me amusing anecdotes and strange facts. I don't even care, dude, but I will be muchly grateful for *something*.

4 is Liz Phair, Divorce Song
11 is the Old 97s, Jagged. I need a Rhett icon.
14 is the Cure, Without You -- and I will have you know I had to sit here and sing through to the chorus to remember what the song was called!
19 Mel Brooks's line in "Springtime for Hitler" from The Producers
20 That's the Moldy Peaches, but I don't know what any of their songs are called.

Good luck with the paper!

The Cure song is "In Between Days"

All correct! Or, well, at least partially. (Tricky choruses, man.)
