The internet is for...
I forgot to add yesterday that Michelle (I'd provide a link if only she had a web site - why don't you have a blog yet Michelle?) provided what turned out to be the soundtrack of the holiday, namely the cast recording of Avenue Q. I've not seen it myself, but I'm sure there are some people lurking around here who can fill you in with the details. From what I can gather though, the best description I have for it is Meet the Feebles: The Musical.
It's very funny indeed, containing such instant classics as "Everyone's a little bit racist", "I'm not wearing underwear today" and everyone's favourite, "The internet is for porn" - a song so horribly addictive that it resulted in us persistently singing lyrics from it... at occasionally inappropriate times.
Thanks Michelle :)
Thought iMark at February 14, 2004 05:45 PM | TrackBackC'mon... you left off "There's a fine fine line" and "I wish I could go back to college", two anthems it EVER I heard them.. Seen it,, loved it, and STILL have people looking at me strange as I walk along the street, or sit on the subway and find myself bursting (quietly) into a lyric or two... Glad you like it too!

XOXO,

A friend loaned me the soundtrack last week; I live on the west coast, so I haven't seen it yet, but I really really want to, now. I have the part of "I wish I could go back to college" about sitting in the computer lab at 4am before the final paper is due running through my head right now (in fact I found this site while looking for the lyrics, since the CD and case are out in my car at the moment). Definitely a classic. I think my favorite song is "There's a fine fine line", though "only for now" and "the internet is for porn" are definitely ones that get stuck in my head, too. :)
