Baking Until I Drop

It’s a rainy day. It’s a rainy day.

It’s raining outside. And I can’t go out and play

Why do we need the rain, anyway?

Water to wash the dishes. Water to clean the streets.

…

What a wonderful world!
(I used to think this was sappy and still do but if you keep going, you will see which version of this song I like…well…maybe you will see)

I don’t know why this song is going through my head…but oh well!

Bjørk – It’s Oh So Quiet Lyrics

Continue reading Lyrics of the Year: Bjørk – It’s So Quiet

Hey sis, I mailed your CDs.Trini music for you! Sent yesterday.

I am steamed at some people on the MSA (muslim students association) on campus.
It actually prompted me to send an email on Tuesday that said a bit more than please be nice and polite when you’re discussing.

We had a fire alarm today…or a fire alarm malfunction.

If you remember the protest I was sort of taking part in, well in the beginning of March the university sent us a new bill with the unpaid $65 on it. They didn’t charge us a late fee and it was due on 20th April, 2004. Since we had not made any visible headway in getting the univeristy to repeal the inane fee, and I want to get out and graduate this semester and not be kicked out because of immigration problems and because I am a wimp, I paid it.

It seems our raises from a contract that was negotiated in 2001 are finally coming in on 7th May, 2004. However this does not include the retroactive pay. Most research assistants already received their raises out of their professors’ grants and such. The teaching assistants however were paid by the university and thus are owed money. I believe this affects me because I TA’d for three semesters which means I should get something for the last two. I am not positive. You would think I’m a steward for my union and that I would know…but I’m a lapsing steward (along with lapsing in other areas).

EDIT: I got it wrong – Raises come into effect from this paycheck. Retroactive pay for 1st January, 2004 to now comes in the 7th May, 2004 paycheck. If I read the information sheet, I will probably find out about the missing periods.

And my program is almost working. It has a little bug that I need to find before 11 am tomorrow.

And I am not a coffee person.

Another favourite song of mine. Here’s hoping I didn’t post this already.

My sister says this is my song and it describes me completely.

Maybe it does!

Blind Melon – No Rain lyrics

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it’s not sane, It’s not sane

I just want someone to say to me oh,oh, oh, oh
I’ll always be there when you wake
Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made

And I don’t understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there’s no rain

And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it’s a great escape
escape……escape……escape……

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don’t like my point of view
ya think I’m insane
Its not sane……it’s not sane.

I just want someone to say to me oh, oh, oh
I’ll always be there when you wake
Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made

(I’ll have it made
I’ll have it made
You know we’re really gonna, really gonna have it made
Gonna have it made
ahhh,ahhh, ahhh, ahhh)

I LOVE this song. I like the music and I like how it makes me feel.

(Incidentally I also like the Mel Gibson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Elijah Wood movie of the same name)

Delilah just played it.

FOREVER YOUNG Lyrics

(R. Stewart/J.Cregan/K.Savigar)

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you’re far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you’d have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you’ll always stay
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young
Forever Young

And when you finally fly away
I’ll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I’m right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young, Forever Young
Forever Young ,Forever Young
Forever Young, Forever Young
For, Forever Young, Forever Young
