Classes were good today. My French teacher isn't French, which irks me, but not a lot. Her French is good, mind you, but I've always had teachers either from France or Haiti, so this is a bit of a shock. And my Spanish teacher is from Spain, so his accent is all blech and I still really want Belkis's class. Sigh.

After class I went with Paige, her roommate Jacqui and their friend Maxine on the bus of campus. I've never taken the bus off campus. It was an adventure! We went to the target copy on Archer, and then to Publix, and then we trekked across three parking lots with a grocery cart and ate dinner at steak and shake. It was pretty awesome.

I also saw Chloe today before my classes today, and that was really nice. She called so I went to the Hub to meet her and it was good. I miss her sometimes. Also, Katie wasn't there today, but she is on the roster in my French class. Woo.

I'm pretty obsessed with Atonement. It's just not good. I finished the book yesterday, basically in one sitting, and it was amazing. I'm dying to go see it again. DYING. It was truly a cinematic marvel that I intend to extoll in great length, preferably after a second viewing. But let me just say: the movie and the book were astonishingly amazing. Phenomenal. Really. I want everything Cecilia and Robbie.

We're watching The Passage this week for the_retelling, and I already watched it once, and oh man. Both parts of this episode are awesome, but I'm so glad I got the first part, because: the watch + the Perfect SpyFam

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Nice work.

[snapplesons.livejournal.com]

Well, I suck at this because I don't know lyrics. But I think 7 is Think of Me from Phantom of the Opera, right?

I took the bus off campus today, too! WIN!

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Really? Where'd you go?

Want to do dinner sometime this week?

[snapplesons.livejournal.com]

To Danielle's.

That would be really nice. This week is a little hectic, though. I have a film screening tomorrow night. But I think Thursday would work for me...

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Thursday works, as long as I'm back in time for Grey's. Just give me a ring.

[yahtzee63.livejournal.com]

16) "My Man" - which is a standard, though I always imagine Barbra Streisand.
23 Uh, "Les Poissons." Somebody must have gotten that by now.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

I thought nobody would get 16, so I am thoroughly delighted that you did! And yes, 23 is Les Poissons.

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

1. Shakira, "Dreams for Plans"
7. Phantom, "Think of Me"
23. Ratatouille? Or, no... the chef song from "The Little Mermaid"?

I hated Atonement. But I am considering rereading it now, because I'm the only person I know who didn't like it.

Your classes start way early.

I don't care for Spanish accents from Spain, either.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Good job.

Dude... if you're going to reread something based on my recommendation, maybe you should reconsider, seeing as we have exactly opposite tastes in novels. For example... Anna Karenina. And, oh, I don't know, The Pact.

At least they can't butcher your name. They assassinate Zs.

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

Blech! I hadn't thought of that, Señorita Tttthhhardoya.:P

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Lisp lisp lisp.

[oregonblondie.livejournal.com]

2. "I Want Candy" by whichever version you have. Bow Wow Wow, how about.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Bow Wow Wow's version is the only way to go!

[miana-dude.livejournal.com]

20 is A Rumor in St. Petersburg from Anastasia!

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Bingo!

[yubsie]

5. It's from Kiss Me Kate... I think the title might actually BE "Strange Dear, But True Dear"? :p

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

It's from Kiss Me, Kate, but that's not the title. Come on, Yubs!

[yubsie]

Gah...

STrange dear
But true dear
When I'm close to you dear
The stars fill the sky
So in love with you am I


... So In Love? :p

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

There we go.

[yubsie]

For the record, it is now STUCK IN MY HEAD. :p

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

22 is The Riddle from Scarlet Pimpernel, and 30 is Facade from Jekyll and Hyde!
