SOTD: Let It Rock, Kevin Rudolf
This song keeps begging me to open the sun roof....
(Verse 1 : Kevin Rudolph)
I see your dirty face
High behind your collar
What is done in vain
Truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time
And you do your crime
Well you made your bed
I'm in mine
(Chorus)
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What is this, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
(Verse 2: Kevin Rudolph)
Now the son's discrased
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world
To the world
To the world
And you take your time
And you stand in line
Well you'll get what's yours
I got mine
Chorus:
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What is this, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
Let It Rock
(Verse 3: Lil Wayne)
Yeah!
Wayne's world
Planet Rock
Panties drop
And the tops
And she gunna rock 'til the camera stop
And I sing about angels like angelock-?
And pay m-?
A-?
A-?
A-?
?
Im in here up like b***h what's up
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can f**k you up
I can f**k you down
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
And the jewelry is louder than an an engine sound
Big xxx rocks like on the ground
Baby like sex that's on the ground
Weezy
Chorus:
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire
Make you come alive
I can take you higher
What is this, forgot?
I must now remind you
Let It Rock
Let It Rock

Like Wayne the personal trainer
My aim is perfect I'll bang ya
Period, Like the remainder
(Kevin Rudolph)
I wish I could be
As cool as you
And I wish I could say
The things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie
No not this time

SOTD: Ieva's Polka, Loituma
They're Finnish, and it's not technically an SOTD, since I didn't wake up with it in my head, but it totally caught my ear on the internet this morning!
Ieva's Polka
Ieva's Polka
I think I might live
OMGosh--I've been down with this terrible cold that's been making its way around. Terrible! I've sounded like Kathleen Turner for more than a week, which, while it has it's charms, I've really had enough of!
Hope everybody had good Xmas and NY holidays--mine were good, and my New Years' resolution is to pay more attention to you guys.
MY goal is to post every day, even if I have nothing to say. We'll see how long until *that* gets annoying!

Help me pick a teeny-tiny laptop
I'm potentially in the market for a little tiny netbook. I know they are not as high functioning as a regular laptop, but the size really appeals to me.
I know I was as much hard drive space as is realistic, and that I want Windows XP and not Linux, so between these 2, what do you think?
Asus EeePC 901
Dell Mini 9

Asus EeePC 901
Dell Mini 9
And speaking of netbooks...
...well, if I wasn't, I was about to.
I'm looking into getting one--Dell Mini 9 or 12, the Asus ones. Anybody have an opinion? As soon as I get decent links, I'll post them so you electronic nerds can help me (as before...bow, bow, scrape, scrape)

Yay the internets!
Assuming my tech skills are functioning tonight, I should have the internets at my house by 9pm!
It's like not having running water. Smartphone has been geting a workout.
