SONG: Mario Kart Love Song
BY: Sam Hart
You be my princess
I’ll be your toad
I’ll follow behind you
on rainbow road
Protect you from red shells
wherever we go
I promise.
No one will touch us
if we pick up a star
And if you spin out
you can ride in my car
When we slide together
we generate sparks
in our wheels and our hearts
CHORUS:
The finish line
is just around the bend
I’ll pause this game
so our love will never end
Let’s go again
The blue shell is coming
so I’ll go ahead
If you hang behind
it’ll hit me instead
but never look back
cause I’m down but not dead
I’ll catch up to you
Don’t worry about
Bowser or DK
Eat this glowing mushroom
and they’ll all fade away
Chorus x2
to the mushroom cup
and the flower cup
and the star cup
and the reverse cup
walalalalala
walalalalalawaluigiiiiii
————
This made me cry.

“Winter Song” lyrics

SONG: Winter Song
BY: Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
it rolls in from the sea.
My voice: a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
to carry you to me.
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love…
They say that things just cannot grow
beneath the winter snow,
or so I have been told.
They say we’re buried far,
just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.
Is love alive? (x3)
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
cause you’re not where you belong;
inside my arms.
I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
and life will find a way.
Ill be your harvester of light
and send it out tonight
so we can start again.
Is love alive? (x3)
This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
’cause you’re not where you belong:
inside my arms.
This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
it rolls in from the sea.
My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
to carry you to me.
Is love alive? (x17)

Some interesting stuff, mostly for my own benefit.
Twilight slash fiction — from FanFiction.net in English, rated M.
Datlow/Windling fairytale series — an Amazon.com book list.
Obama’s big plan — video and text of the Great Investment (plan).
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog — seems self-explanatory.
GypsyMaps — New York subway and bus maps on a more accurate map than the one the MTA provides. Stupid Manhattan-centric people.

“Iron Man” review

I’m late to the train on this one, I know, but I was a little miffed by all the great press Iron Man received when it first came out in theaters, so I never bothered to see it. My sister raved about it, but since I’m a contrarian, that just made me want to see it less, not more.
Well, tonight I finally gave in and watched it. I must say, it lives up to its hype. I don’t know much about Iron Man in the comics, and I don’t follow any Marvel heroes regularly (aside from a couple obscure X-Men), but I was pleasantly surprised with this rendition of Tony Stark. Robert Downey, Jr., is a lovely, lovely man [cough*eyecandy*cough], for starters, and he’s a great fit for the character. He’s self-assured, cocky, and just plain rich, but in the end, he’s still a good guy. Over all, the movie is well-paced and not too mushy/romantic/sappy. Stark’s love interest is his secretary, Pepper Potts, and there’s not even a kiss between them in the entire movie—a good thing, let me assure you. It’s understood that Stark is a playboy and beds plenty of women, but the one close to his heart is the one who “takes out the trash” in the morning (an awesome comeback on Pepper’s part early in the movie, by the way).
The main baddie is Obadiah Stane, a man who stood in for Stark and held Stark Industries together while Tony got his act together after graduating from MIT at age 17. Unfortunately, the power’s gone to his head and he tries to take out the main character more than once before the movie is over. In the end, he loses. Duh. I won’t tell you how, though I’m sure if you’re reading this you’ve already seen the movie.
Anyway, one thing is for sure: I want a suit that lets me fly, too. [insert childish tantrum here] I’m pleased to say that Iron Man redeems Hollywood from some of its poorer comic movies. If you’re looking for a good show all around, this one is on the list.
