The MMOC continues to MMOC, the boar continues to reek, the Mammoth soap and aftershave continue to smell of nothing but their core ingredients, and face-lathering continues to be the worst bullshit ever introduced to shaving.
The grey mug I mentioned yesterday that I have on the side there (not for lathering, not only because it doesn't provide the space for it but also because the boar contest disallows it) used to have something printed on the side for Lac Qui Parle, MN, a place that I have never gone to, even though I also have a T-shirt for the place. Talking Lake, Lake that Speaks, I guess it's a place that's big on duck/geese hunting? I have no idea, and I have no idea about or interest in hunting. But at some point the printing on the mug just completely wiped off, leaving me with a plain grey mug, which I honestly prefer. Shame it's not a darker shade to better match the brush handle, though.
I woke up this morning with a song inexplicably stuck in my head, which happens with remarkable frequency. One such song that has been the culprit on a number of occasions has been the George of the Jungle theme, I shit you not.
This morning it was actually The New Pornographers - Miss Teen Wordpower, which, having typed that, I realize could be a worrying combination of words if you're not familiar with the group. But in light of that, I figured this is as good a time as any to jump into the #sidetracked contest from /u/Teufelskraft
But that is not the song I wish to share for the purpose of the contest. This song does bring me back to my undergrad days, and it reminds me of someone who was with a study abroad group I was in (a trip I recently talked a bit about) because she mentioned that movie Little Miss Sunshine a number of times and that title is similar to the title of the song. Also, she was big into words, which is always cool.
I'm also a big fan of something in Miss Teen Wordpower song that I'm not sure how to describe: A kind of tonal downshift a the end of the lines "Nobody knows the wreck of the soul like you do" and "Miss Teen Wordpower" I don't know. It's fun to sing to, too, but maybe I drop an extra octave or something to exaggerate it.
But no, that's not the song I wanted to share for this, which is another from The New Pornographers that shares that same kind of downshift thing, and I happen to like this song a fair bit better: Sing Me Spanish Techno. I am indeed guilty, on occasion, of listening too long to that one song.
