6:39 P.M. - I just composed a fairly unique StarMix, with some of my favorite "Songs that make me laugh like nobody's business"-type stuff. On at the moment is "Funk Dat" by Sagat. I absolutely love this song. Funny as hell. Good view on how life is... or, at least, can be for that matter.
6:43 P.M. - "Pretty in Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs is on. Not sure as to how many people know I love this song, but I really love this song. And I don't mean the original version--I'm talking the from-the-movie-"Pretty-in-Pink" version. I love this song. I really, really do.
In the meantime, hunting down "Scatman" by John Scatman. Another lost gem from the 90's. Trust me, there are some gems from the 90's that I really wouldn't mind listening to all over again, and that's one of them. "Funk Dat" is another, and "Hey Sandy" by Polaris [the Pete and Pete song] is definitely another.
6:55 P.M. - "Da Funk" by Daft Punk ranks up on that last paragraph's list too. It's on at the moment.
7:01 P.M. - Alright, I'm bored. It must be dinnertime, but I don't feel like getting on my coworkers' last nerve. And Coffee Bistro's closed. AND I still gotta finish the hunt for "Scatman."
7:09 P.M. - Thinking back as "Come Back Home" by Pete Yorn is playing, I think to myself, Maybe life isn't so bad when you're alone, but eventually I'll have to find someone whether I like it or not. I mean, supposedly this is how it goes:
--You're born,
--you grow up,
--you fall in love,
--you live happily ever after,
--you die happy.
...uhhh... can I disagree a little here?
I've been convinced that I'm happier not worrying about falling in love and getting married before 50 and so on. This falling-in-love-and-getting-married thing just doesn't work for everybody. And I often joke about sending my butt off to the convent whenever I talk about being miserably single. But, honestly, I'd rather be better off single and actually HAPPY!!
Although, there's a bit of, erm, issues.
StarKnight Siren actually knows Agathangelos--Siren's sister is Agathangelos' fiancee. And Siren's already asked me about a week or so ago if I'm actually going to the wedding. Now, considering that Siren's a bit of an ex-romantic interest, and Agathangelos is a bit of an ex-crush, and chances of Agathangelos inviting my ex a bit more than just possible...
I've got a bad feeling about this wedding.
7:25 P.M. - GOT "SCATMAN"!! WOOHOO!!
In the meantime, "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot is on. I always laugh when this song comes on. Just one helluva fun song.
7:54 P.M. - There's a song by Franz Ferdinand called "Michael" that's on now. And I'm laughing like hell right now because the song's sung by a guy. And I'm dedicating that to the ex. *insert snarky laugh now*
Yeah, I know, I'm so bad.
But hey, I can't help myself!! Sometimes you just gotta smash out on the ex just so you're sure you're over it.
8:08 P.M. - ...meh, I'm bored. I'm talkin' so bored that sometimes y'gotta find stuff just so you can actually get some stuff done.
Did that make any sense? Don't worry, I didn't think so either.
8:12 P.M. - Nodding along to the single edit of Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express." You know, the version from the 197? video?? Yeah, that one. Not bad either. They did a good job with the editing in my opinion.
8:16 P.M. - "HEY SANDY" BY POLARIS IS ON!! SING-ALONG TIME!!
8:19 P.M. - I'M THE SCATMAN!! *cranks up "Scatman" by Scatman John full blast*
In the meantime, let's observe something humorous here... a man with the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen.
Yes, it must be that time of the night we love...
KRAFTWERK KORNER TIME!!
Anywho, my humble observation on the bright steel-blue eyes of the Mensch-Maschine that is...
...oh hell, y'all know his name by now.
Anywho, possibly the sweetest pic of Ralf that I could just oogle at. I mean, come on, y'all!! Look at him. He just sits there, without one helluva care in the world!! And his bright blue eyes are just fixed on whoever's got the camera [or in this case whoever's looking at him!!]. And he just has this cute little half-smile on his face. He's just... I mean... well...
Damn. He's just adorable. Damn.
I know, I'm pathetic to go oogle-eye-happy for someone who's in Germany, helluvalot older than me, and highly elusive. But hell-o!! blue-eyed angel-voiced semi-human being here!? Now who the heck am I to resist such an intelligent, slightly odd, yet handsome individual?
8:31 P.M. - ...and just now my thoughts are somewhat interrupted as I'm glancing about the Underground--there's a cutie in the opposite corner, near the doors to the Underground. And there's a high chance that he's going to disregard my existence. And by damn, that's fine by me!!
Still, he sure is cute.
But anyway, back to the Roboter that is Ralf.
I mean, there's just something so... so... charming and, dare I say, possibly a bit romantic ["wtf!? you alright, jenn!? whatchamean 'romantic!?' need we question your sanity again?"] about him.
Yes, I said it and y'all read proper. I said "romantic."
I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's the half-smile. Or maybe it's the eyes. Or maybe I'm just an absolute wierdo [time out, that's stating the obvious!].
8:41 P.M. - "Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads is on.
So yeah, I'm just saying, I guess it's alright to be oogle-eye-happy at someone who's waaaaaayyyy older than me, German, a hero of music, and just downright handsome. And anyway, I guess I'm probably better off in this loony sort of manner.
Because, let's all be realistic [again...?] for a moment.
What are the odds, really, that he knows that the Trans-Underground exists? What are the odds that he knows that Excelsios exists, that there's a little strange world just outside of his beloved KlingKlang just brimming with music and admiration for him? What are the odds that he's heard of some fan being all giggle-happy over his voice and his blue eyes and his immensely-noticable stage presence? Because, let's face it, dear Excelsians... HE DOESN'T KNOW THIS BLOG IS OUT THERE!!
...he just doesn't know this exists.
Maybe, someday, he'll know we Excelsians are out there [even though there's, at the moment, only me and my ex and Pouncer and whoever of y'all are readin' this now]. Maybe he'll note our existence. Maybe he'll think it's pretty neat.
...or, erm, maybe he'll panic?? *shrug* I dunno.
8:59 P.M. - "Play That Funky Music" by White Cherry is on now. And I just noticed that, I've been at it since... erm...
Okay, I've been at this for the past 2 and a half hours now.
No, seriously. I have. And I gotta be up in 7 effin' hours!!
Can we say, lack of sleep alert here?
9:04 P.M. - The single edit version of "Europa Endlos" is on. Yes, y'all read proper--"Europa Endlos" is on. As in, the German version of the beloved "Europe Endless" is on. I love this song. And the German version isn't too bad either.
I mean, heck. Ralf just sounds wonderful no matter what language he sings.
*glances one way*
...
*glances the other way*
...
*oogles at picture. again.*
9:09 P.M. - ...alright, alright!! I'm gonna finish this post already, I promise.
So, in conclusion, life's insane, Cupid is stupid, music is the best thing even BEFORE sliced bread, and Ralf from Kraftwerk is just beautiful no matter what anyone else says.
9:10 P.M. - Final song of the night belongs to the single edit of "Trans-Europa Express '91"--and yes, it's the German version. Again.
What? Y'all don't like German music?
...never mind, let's not even go there.
But anyway, as I was saying, yes, I think Ralf is a beautiful individual and I'm sticking to my humble observation. And perhaps that makes me an absolute nerd but, I don't care. I <3 Ralf from Kraftwerk, voice and eyes and handsomeness and all!!
9:14 P.M. - Song's over, lights out y'all!!
Until the next round...
