Boppy's Journal

Guess who I saw play my favourite venue this week, snarkist?! Sufjan! It was absolutely brilliant. ( report on the important stuff--like hula hoops )

Right now I'm watching Roger Federer play Tipsarevic, and I'm fretting coz it's gone into a fourth set. Federer's my favourite player on the men's circuit, and I desperately want him to win this year's Open--I know it means a lot to him, since he's so adorably respectful of the Australian tennis tradition. Come on, Roger! Don't fret! (He looks fretty! :() Phew, he broke serve. *wipes brow*

counteragent is running a new-to-me vid-watching challenge this coming week. The challenge is to watch a new vid (preferably from a vidder you don't know) every day for a week from 21-28 Jan. I've signed up. Anyone wanna join me? :D

Also, if you haven't yet seen counteragent's tribute to vidding, Destiny Calling, then you're missing a meta-y treat. And it features some of my favourite vids! :D

ETA: WOW, what a match! And aww, he's such a gent.

Whee! It's the_mas's Comment Day, which I am kicking off 'early' since it's well and truly Friday in my part of the world.

For those of you who are new to this event--it's basically an excuse to spam LJ with comments, because we all love them! And so I can garner 'em myself, I've even done a couple of memes.

( Music meme )

( Icon meme )

Also, I want to pimp a couple of people who've delighted me this week:
elsmoka whose icons I have discovered, and who granted permission for me to use the fab Jake 'goodlooking revolutionaries' icon. Mwah!
lastscorpion who wrote Ponyville which made me laugh myself silly (it's a Smallville/My Little Ponies crossover-lol!)
As always, the fabulous estrella30 and mskatej for upping my porn quota for the week.
radioreverie for amusing me with her oh-so-honest unpopular opins (I luv rebels) and for converting me against my will to Jonny-Greenwood-appreciation.
Also... any Chlex fans on my list should check out sinecure's icons. And encourage her not to abandon SV! ;-)

There. If the MASsians on my f'list can't find *something* in this post to comment on, you lose at Comment Day! *pokes tongue* (Bonus points to anyone that comments in my crazy but beloved mahabarata comm!)

Well it's a public holiday, so why not?

Music meme gakked from vibrantharmony

Instructions
1. Open up the music player on your computer.
2. Set it to play your entire collection.
3. Hit the shuffle command.
4. Tell us the name of the next ten songs that show up (with their musicians), no matter how embarrassing. That's right, no skipping the Carpenters tune that will totally destroy your hip credibility. It's time for musical honesty.
5. If you get the same artist twice you may skip the second (or third, etc.) occurrence. You don't have to, but you can if you like.

My list
The first five are linked for anyone that wants them. Why the first five only? Well, think yourselves lucky, people! 'Cop Shoot Cop' is seventeen minutes long!!! Boy did I laugh when that one came up!
1. A band of bees, I Love you
2. The Smiths, There is a light that never goes out
3. The White Stripes, The Hardest button to button
4. Missy Higgins, Don’t ever
