Day: February 22, 2008

That was then. And this:

   What is happening to my skin?
2. “Apple Scruffs” by George Harrison, guessed by Eric B.
   You’ve been stood around for years
3. “The Birds Will Still Be Singing” by Elvis Costello
   He wants to kiss you. Will you condescend?
4. “Peace in the Valley” by Alabama 3

5. “FM” by Steely Dan, guessed by Eric B.
   Kick off your high heel sneakers, it’s party time
6. “Love Is Nothing” by Liz Phair, guessed by Eric B.
   You thought I’d totally excite you
7. “Still Crazy After All These Years” by Paul Simon, guessed by Eric B.

   Now the clock is striking one
10. “The Wind Cries Mary” by Jimi Hendrix, guessed by Eric B.
    The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow

is now. Starting to see a pattern here? Guess the lyric, win no prize. As always, best of luck!

Forecast for today: what I wrote here, but like fifty times more so. This is Bryant Park, just around the corner, which should give you some idea. My commute to work this morning went by with surprisingly few hiccups, but it’s still a cold and wet mess outside that shows no sign of letting up.
