i know better

[phineasjones]

i know very well once i start reading anything by cimorene111, i will not be able to stop until i'm done. and yet, i jump right in even when i can't really spare the time. ::sigh::

but it's still kind of a happy sigh because even though i know and care little about gary oldman and time roth, cim's high rent is completely intoxicating and delicious and omghot.

and since i haven't showered yet, maybe i ought to make it a cold one.

before i go, an update on the music. you guys are awesome, thank you for the help so far. between y'all and the few compilations i purchased last night, i now have a good bunch of songs covered. but there are many more to go. here is what's left on the list - some have been promised to me but they'll stay on the list 'til i have them in my grubby little paws. i'll need them by... let's say... this coming wednesday or so. to make my huge 80s prom mix of doom.
