I guess it can be seen as self-contradictory if you take the title literally - a journey across the stars can't really be a trek "into darkness", because of, you know, all those stars making it all bright and stuff. But that's still kind of a stretch.

I just got started on More Than Human by Thomas Sturgeon - I pretty much bought it because sometimes I can't pass up cheap old scifi paperbacks with trippy cover art, then while looking it up later, I learned that it had been covered in that Box Of Paperbacks thing I should have paid more attention to.

I do like Heaven And Hell (the only non-Ozzy album I've heard in full thus far), but when I first heard it, I did have to mentally separate it from my conception of what a Black Sabbath album was "supposed" to sound like. 

There was an unplaceable third song that this mashup also reminded me of, and I've realized I may have been thinking of "Heartbeats" by The Knife:

I feel like "tiger" was strictly chosen because the members of Survivor realized that they could sort of use their own band name as a rhyme.

I suppose if you were to take Familymoon literally as a title, it would be a film about… A moon that is owned by a family perhaps? You know, like "the family pet" or "the family station wagon". 

I can kind of remember being told to "wait here for the time being" as a kid and getting sort of scared of being left alone to face The Time Being, whoever that was. I don't know what I was imagining at the time, but when I think of that story now, I think of a humanoid body made entirely of clocks.

I think Sean found some dodgily transcribed lyrics, because as far as I can tell these are the proper ones:

Yeah, I pretty much clicked on this review thinking of some sort of riff on pluralized Chili Peppers hits as movie titles - Under The Bridges, Give Them Away, Suck My Kisses, etc.

Yes, the same.

I finished four books this month, and started on a fifth, which is faster than I usually go through books - I've got about a 40 minute train commute to work and back, so I do a lot of ebook-reading (and also Tetris-playing). The ones I've finished are The Turn Of The Screw, The Thin Man, The Screwtape Letters, and…

"I'd let her give to me a force job"? That doesn't even make sense.

Since "kedollarsignha" was a thing, I kind of wonder why no one thought to start calling her "Pexclamationpointink".

The three times I can think of where I walked into a Chipotle and specifically recognized what was playing, it was DJ Shadow, J-Dilla, and a Janis Joplin/Beck mashup.

Technically he didn't really give away the ending, because he didn't mention the part where Adam Sandler's fart turns out to be a ghost.

You just don't just question the use of "you don't just"!

"I Like Big Butlers And I Cannot Lie"?

Last year I started the tradition of muting the TV and watching the
televised fireworks with an alternate soundtrack (via ipod deck), so
instead of hearing "Firework" by Katy Perry yet again, I can watch the
firework display set to, say, "Lake Of Fire" or "America Fuck Yeah". The X song might be a good addition to…

Not quite all of them - "Giraffes In The Air" is pretty uplifting:

If you want to know if he loves you so, it's in his kiss. That's where it is.
