Not feeling clever anymore

[itsallovernow]

I'd like the 76 Trombones in my head to stop marching and for my vision to unblur.

I'd like the part of my brain that vacated when I decided to buy self-tanning cream for my back to return.

I'd like part 9B of Blue Eyes to be written already.

I'd like to lay on my couch and follow through with my prescribed plan to watch Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, Young Frankenstien and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

I'd like to bail on dancing tomorrow night. My only consolation is that despite it being ridiculously cheesy, I am going to dance to the theme from Lawerence of Arabia.

I'd like to have the house to myself tonight. Ain't gonna happen.

I'd like M. to actually record a message on our new phone since he bitched about us having a boring, "this is so and so please leave a message" message. The options he and G. came up with include the following:

a) Welcome to M. and Thea's. And yes, we're still pissed at SciFi for cancelling Farscape. You may now leave a message. (They're sucking up, but I love them anyway. They have no intention of using this one).

b) Welcome to Tyrell Corporation. Replicants please press 1, all others press 2. (The phone doesn't have two lines - this doesn't seem to have stalled their efforts any).

c) Hello and welcome to M. and Thea's (this said in the moviefone voice). For a sensitive, sophisticated comedy about life in L.A., press one, etc.

Why can't they just say, hey, we're not here, leave a message? It's actually infringing on M.'s manhood that I want us to sound like adults when people call us. His friends all have obnoxious messages, so he feels left out. Boys are just so weird. They have now started to call and make fun of the electronic voice that plays in lieu of a greeting.

ETA: Bender meets Tyrell Corp.. This almost made my head stop hurting.

And it took me until THIS MORNING to get the "76 [bloody] trombones" reference. When I was listening to OMWF. And I call myself a BtVS fangurl. . .

That's okay - it was a double ref. because my best friend is choreographing a production of the Music Man this summer, which lead to BTVS, which lead to the exact feeling in my head:)

I didn't even think to LOOK for an earlier reference. I mean, OK, it's Joss, I shoulda figured. But I confess to have never seen The Musicman, I may have heard some of the songs, but probably wouldn't be able to tell you they are from the Musicman. My sister has the musical chops in the family a conservatory degree in Opera will do that for you!. Me, I am a heathen who listens to too much bluegrass and country. . .

I've seen way too many musicals. I used to love them (and still secretly do but it's hard to watch them and revel when you don't live alone:)

You'd recognize that song if you heard it though. The trombones are prominent:) It sounds like a marching band song.
