Suckitude

I’m a slacker today, so I’ll just do the meme thing. (Via Laurence.)

Anyway, here’s what you do. You go to the Music Outfitters website and type your high school graduation year into the search tool. Select the “list of the 100 most popular songs” and you will get the Raw Material for the next step in the process, which is to look through the list and decide which songs you hated, which ones you liked, and which one was your favorite.
Post the list on your Online Journal, striking through the songs you hated (or still hate) and boldfacing the ones you liked (or still like). Bold and underline your favorite song. No opinion? Leave it as-is.

There was an awful lot of (and a lot of awful) music in 1980. And now — as if you needed it — you get my opinion on the matter. You get to decide which sucks worse: the music of 1980, or my taste in music.

Q: How do you know that an impending disaster is going to be really enormously catastrophically huge?
A: When you hear the phrase “when the dead begin to float” spoken as though it was the least of the survivors’ worries.
Katrina is going to be a tough one. Good luck to the folks stuck in the Big Easy.
