What's your musical horoscope?  (Put your player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs that come up.)
Inspired by Stephanie.  

Oooh, I love this. Says a lot about the person. If they're honest. I'm not even going to front; here are my 10:

1. One Song Glory, Rent - I used to be a total Renthead. Back when it was appropriate - like 1997. Come on, I was gay, 17, living a 50-minute train ride from Broadway. Whatever.

2. Sin miedo a nada, Alex Ubago and Amaia Montero - This is one of the first Spanish songs (as in from Spain) that I got into during my original obsession with all things Spain back in 2002 or 2003. Amaia Montero is the lead singer of La oreja de Van Gogh and I love her. She's so hot.

3. 24 Hours, Alexz Johnson - From a cheesy Canadian show about a pop singer. It's kind of a terrible show but she's a great singer.

4. And Then You Kissed Me (Part 2), The Cadigans - Tim got me into their new stuff. I like part 1 better.

5. Runaway, The Corrs - Oh, how I loved their Unplugged album. This was big on my old-school mp3 player back in 2000, I think. I remember waking up on Thanksgiving that year and hearing them performing live on some early-morning talk show.

6. Vienna, The Fray - This whole album is really good, not just the two singles. Saw them play this summer and loved them. The guitarist is really hot.

7. Understand, Christina Aguilera - I thought I'd give her another chance but I'm not really into the album.

8. Mr. Curiosity, Jason Mraz - That hot-ass smirk. This dude has such incredible control of his voice. Sigh.

9. Only You, Yaz - A couple of years ago I rewatched "Can't Hardly Wait" and decided I needed the song from the train station scene. So good.

10. You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want (When You're Making Love), Avenue Q - Right on. Saw this show for the first time on Election Night, 2004. It was such a great time, and then we walked out to the big screen by NBC and saw that Bush was in the lead. Such a bummer.

What's your favorite blend or brand of coffee or tea?

Damn it. A question to which "your mother" is a wildly nonsensical response!

OK, well, my favorite coffee right now is the chelsea blend at Noah's. Yes, the bagel place. First, I don't have any problem with their bagels and I'm a NYC-area native. And this particular coffee reminds me very much of Dunkin' Donuts, which is where it's at, really. Sure, there's a Peet's next to my office building and three Starbucks within a block, but it's Noah's for me.

Oooh, Noah. You do me so good.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what five people would you eat first?

Your mother.

Hahahahahaha.

Also, Justin Theroux. Hot damn that man is fine. I would eat only specific parts of him, though. (OH YES I DID.)

You're trapped in a (temporarily) out of order elevator - who would you like to be trapped with?

Jesus! It doesn't help that "your mother" works so well for so many of these... What is a sassafras like me to do?!

Who would you like to kiss under the mistletoe?

Your mother. Tee hee!

Or Sufjan, that sexy weirdo.

I have a super crush on is-he-or-isn't-he Sufjan Steven s

Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You (Town Hall)

So maybe I'll use Vox to write stuff that I don't want my obnoxiously tech-savvy mother, grandmother and aunts to read.

OK, so I was bending over and taking it like a champ last night when ...

No.

But really, I was at this (gay homosexual gay) party last night and there was this guy who kept sticking his fingers in people's belly buttons and, like, I'm all about freakshows and fun and mischief, but ... NO.

At least he was an equal-opportunity molester, dipping his dirty fingers in both male and female lint traps. And he was more the willing to let people return the favor.

Still, though: NO.

All could be forgiven, of course, in exchange for one free brunch at Citizen Cake. Ya feelin' me?

[BTW, I consider this totally family-friendly, but I shall seriously consider the opening statement in this here entry. Makes sense, especially if I start using that super fantastique "Who can view this?" feature. It's so handy.]

If only Vignette, the company, would buy my domain (vignette.org), I would totally move the blogging operation over to Vox. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME MONEY, VIGNETTE. Sure, it's been mine since 1999, but it's so old-school to have your own domain for your blog.

I just don't know what to do with this thing.

That is all.

I don't really see the point of another blog but it can't hurt to enlarge my online footprint, oui? Oui.
