“Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime”
-Coconut, Harry Nilsson

It’s like my life is The Talented Mr. Ripley. And I’m Jude Law. It’s suggested that I don’t hop into a rowboat anytime soon with a certain roommate. She’s trying to be me. She’s thieving my clothes, my make-up, my jewellery, my cat, my identity. She is however, providing hours of entertainment as proved by over 5 hours of stories, laughter, and tales at the Green Room last night with my posse of Dan, Eve, Carri, Cassandra and her bf Scott (whom we are trying to initiate a bro-mance between him and Dan). Carri even paraded out her shiny new locking door knob, ready for installation, while Cassandra and I prefer to keep it ghetto with an old fashioned steel padlock for it’s coldness and uninviting nature. I’ve also had offers from the company I keep to draw me a locking keypad, retina scan, thumb print scan and a sign that says “No Brynas Allowed” for my door. Of course, when you add “bitch” to the end of a sentence, everything becomes more hilarious, as in, “You lucky I let you sit on my couch, bitch!”
But enough of that.

“She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up”

There’s also been an influx of “I’m tired of my music. Suggest new songs/bands” across all genres, people, and contexts. Heidi has now latched onto Pandora and is discovering new music (I have Lauren to thank for it from over a year ago). I think we should set up a “national playlist” of our own (of course it would be a cross-continental playlist if everyone is involved). Mairin can plug Carbonated Dirtbag Skirmish. Natalie can give love to the OM’s muzik (I added his website to the links y’all…The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are his friends on myspace and that’s marginally good enough for me). Anyone want to throw out new or old suggestions for a flavour flav of the week/month for the iPod playlist mixing, etc.? Y’all can pitch them via the comments and wrap it up each Friday, or if you feel like wasting more time, start up a new blog for musical suggestions where we can each edit/add. We can make a top 10, then ditch 4-5 songs each week to make way for newly acquired selections and maybe find new music out of it. Invite others to join in. Can you tell I’m bored?

If no one else wants to contribute to my new found hobby and offer everything from “Come On Eileen” and Daft Punk to Lily Allen and new Bloc Party, then this will just end up as my own list. Humour me. I can’t keep researching telephone companies and foreign diplomats without something good to listen to.

I shall throw out 2 songs that have struck my fancy this week, even though they’re not that fresh:

“Ooh La” by The Kooks
“Music When the Lights go Out” by The Libertines

Your turn.

“She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up”

And just for randomness, this photo creeps me out:
Dan and I found this photo-shopped pic of Ian Somerhalder when we were searching online for haircuts for Dan and watching The Terminal. Twas a banner day. It creeps me out but also makes me laugh uncontrollably.

“I say Doctor! You such a silly woman!”
