I hear the clock, it's six a.m. I feel so far from where I've been I got my eggs and my pancakes too I got my maple syrup, everything but you
I break the yolks, make a smiley face I kinda like it in my brand new place I wipe the spots off the mirror, don't leave the keys in the door Never put my eggs on the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long even after you're gone I know you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for Hugh
I called my momma, she was out for a walk Consoled a plate of eggs but it didn't wanna talk So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news More eggs being broken or people being used
Put on my eggs in the pouring rain I saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'Cause it was happy and I was sad It made me miss eggs oh so bad 'cause
Dreams last for so long Even after you're gone I know you love me And soon you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for Hugh
I go about my business, I'm doin fine Besides what would I say if I had you on the line Same old story, not much to say Eggs are broken everyday
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on I know you hate it when I leave the eggs on I pick a book up, turn the sheets down Take a deep breath and a good look around
Put on my eggs and hop into bed I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead I try and tell myself it'll be all right I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause
Dreams last for so long Even after you're gone I know you love me And soon I know you will see You were meant for me And I was meant for Hugh
Yeah...
You were meant for me and I was meant for...
Hugh

Drink every time one of the following happens:
1. They play a Phil Collins song 2. You hear a lyric that's filthy, but requires being post-pubescent to realize it 3. They play a dude/chick duet 4. They play a commercial that sounds really dirty (free pork samples, etc.) 5. Said commercial tagline is reiterated by the phonesex-voiced announcer 6. They play a public service announcement 7. They play a commercial for a dating service 8. They play a song by Luther Vandross, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, or anyone you assume must be one of these guys 9. They play a ballad and you can't immediately tell if the singer is a dude or a chick 10. Sappy idolotrous breathy-voiced chick ballad (Mariah Carey etc.) 11. Elton John 12. The song is a request and dedication 12a. Drink again if the requester and/or dedicator lives in Revere, Lynn, Waltham, or Everett 13. They have some contest where you're supposed to call when you hear a certain song 13a. Drink again if they tell you to write down the title of the song 14. Any song by UB40. If they play a UB40 song that's not a cover, finish the entire bottle, then break it. 15. Any song modulates up a half step 16. '70s (or early '80s) song that involves a whole freakin' orchestra (e.g. Chicago) 17. Love themes from bad movies 18. Gratuitous saxophone 19. Drink twice if they play a song you would listen to non-ironically (as in, a song you'd put on because it's a really good song, not because you're looking to listen to '80s music or sappy music or anything like that). 20. If you drink for a song and it turns out to be a promo, commercial, station ID intro, etc., drink again. 21. If the general group consensus is that someone knows entirely more words to a particular song than anyone ought to, the person to that person's left takes a drink. 22. If something is caught in your throat, you can drink.
Note: If, for some terrible reason, they don't play Piano Man at 9:00 on Saturday, finish the bottle, immediately seek out some heroin, get totally messed up, and smash your radio.

Directions:
Turn on Magic 106.7 (Boston's continuous soft rock) right before 9:00 on Saturday evening. The game starts when they play Piano Man (...it's 9:00 on a Saturday...). Take one drink when it starts, laugh like an idiot when the harmonica riff kicks in, then drink once more.

Directions:
Turn on Magic 106.7 (Boston's continuous soft rock) right before 9:00 on Saturday evening. The game starts when they play Piano Man (...it's 9:00 on a Saturday...), thinking they're funny.

Since I'm going to be in the synagogue all day, I made a bento to take with me:

This guy was on the 66 bus from Harvard Square to Brigham Circle the other day. The entire way, he shouted into his cell phone, swapping between calls. Most of these involved his roommate search, but there were also others. Since he chose to share all his personal business with the whole bus, I learned quite a bit about the guy:
On the call with his dad he hands out flyers for a concert promotion business, and was handing them out around the Harvard campus. On the calls with potential roommates he "works at Harvard."
His boss is named Ace. "Ace. Ay-see-ee. Ace -- he's Jewish."
"What do you do for a living? Oh, cool. Yeah, that's a great field. This girl I was supposed to marry, 'cept it didn't end up happening, that's what she did."
The place doesn't have furniture. The other roommate insists they get IKEA credit cards and max them out in order to buy furniture, because her mother says to. This guy doesn't want to do this, and wants to get a few used things. "I'm gonna have to just talk to her mother and explain a few things to her."
He didn't mention on any of the calls that he was picking his nose on the 66 bus throughout these interviews. Or was taking up three seats with his legs and bag.
His potential roommates know he'd be home to show the place until around 9, then would be going out, "yanno, go out, kick back, hopefully meet some girls." His dad and his current roommate are under the impression that he's gonna "grab some dinner and head to bed early."
One of the potential roommates is named Pee-dro. I think it's like Pedro, except it also involves urination. "Hey, is Pee-dro there? Pee-dro...what kind of name is that? Where ya from Pee-dro? Oh, yeah? I work at Harvard..."
"I don't know Dad, I don't know if it's the location or what, but it's a great place, but just no one seems to want it."
Anyone have the slightest idea why he can't find a roommate? Or a girlfriend?

My spousal unit packed this for me out of food I made for Rosh Hashanah:

Little peppers stuffed with soy cream cheese and spinach, cranberry relish in the Hello Kitty container, big pepper stuffed with wild rice and Tofurky sausage, pumpkin ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, roasted red pepper sauce in the other Hello Kitty container.

Last night there was a van in the drive-thru in front of me sporting a BYU alumni sticker. The driver ordered two adult meals, each complete with several specifications for additions/deletions/quantifications. She then ordered six different kid's meals, each with a similar array of specifications.

Previously over at Universal Hub, I'd been amusing myself by trying to see if, by looking through the post titles in the sidebar, I could guess which ones were written by Miki.
I've now decided to take it a step further. When I see a Mikiesque headline, I click on it, then make note of which story it's in reply to, and see if before it loads I can guess what she said.
Post title: Hopefully...............
Subject of story: People getting stuff stolen from unlocked cars
My guess: Something about them learning their lesson, possibly with an explanation of how she always makes sure to lock her car, and maybe even a choice cliche about "safety first" or "better safe than sorry" or something.
The verdict: I was right about the general theme of them learning their lesson. That was all she said though; she didn't go all Miki otherwise.
Still, I consider it a victory.
