U2 and Wedding Crashers

Just got back from bowling (well about an hour ago). I kicked some tail (haha yeah right). Just thought I'd throw some thoughts up on the wall.

1. Remember a couple posts ago I said I have been listening to Better than Ezra nonstop? Well the band has changed. It is now U2. Thursday night I actually watched their DVD of "Rattle and Hum" and then Ian and I went to Chipotle, and we listened to U2 the whole way there (and back, believe it or not). I listened to them last night on my near 2 hour drive to nowhere. And guess what, I am listening to them right now (with headphones... not sure the roommates would be to keen on me blasting it at 245AM.) Top 2 songs right now - "Where the Streets Have No Name" and "Stuck in a Moment" the latter of which kinda describes (ok a lot) how I am feeling. I have included the lyrics to this song at the end. Oh, also check out the background on my computer... what a combination (this show was amazing, btw):


2. Along with listening to U2, I have watched Wedding Crashers twice this week, and cannot get enough of it. Whether it is lines like "Erroneous! Erroneous!! Erroneous on both accounts" or "Good question, I like where you're head's at and the answer is actually 2" or "Well the proper girl just eye fucked the shit out of me" or "Rule 76, no excuses, play like a champion" or " 'We lost a lot of good men out there' 'While you were playing with the Yankees?' 'Well yeah to trades... I just don't want to talk about it' " or "Crabcakes and football, that's what Maryland does" and that's about all that sticks out right now. I feel like this is a movie that only gets funnier each time you watch it. So if you haven't seen in, do that. Now.

3. Cecelia was correct in the reference to Uncle Jesse from Full House. Kudos to her. I am not sure who is the bigger nerd: I came up with the question, but Cecelia actually got it in a very short period of time. Speaking of Full House, over the summer I watched some reruns of America's Funniest Home Videos with none other than Bob Saget, and I swear he is either drunk or high (maybe both?) If you haven't watched an old episode in awhile, I suggest going back and doing that.

I have given you a lot to watch. I guess this would be because I am sick of watching my mailbox for mail from WVU. I sat impatiently today waiting for the mailman (ask Ian and Sara) while we were playing scrabble... which I won. I guess that Master's degree is good for something. I did lose in minigolf this afternoon though by 1 shot. I honestly thought I had an extra shot to spare, so I wanted to make sure I at least tied so I went way conservative with the ball not landing in the hole, but very close.

Well I just realized that it's 3AM... so I should go to sleep.

still waiting,
-wait



Here are the lyrics to Stuck in a Moment... sweet song!
Stuck in a moment

I’m not afraid of anything in this world
There’s nothing you can throw at me that I haven’t already heard
I’m just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And now you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I will not forsake the colours that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks, they left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it’s tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don’t really need now, my, oh my

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You’ve got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover how deep
I wasn’t jumping, for me it was a fall
It’s a long way down to nothing at all

You’ve got to get yourself together
You’ve got stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it
Don’t say that later will be better
Now you’re stuck in a moment
And you can’t get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won’t last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
It’s just a moment
This time will pass
