It is almost as if I were straight out of PhD Comics myself!

Sexuality
Ah Billy Bragg. I lost track of him in the late 1980s, after I went through a phase of singing his songs while lifeguarding on Friday nights. Anyway, this song is so cute that I had to dedicate it to Diss!
Sexuality – strong and warm and wild and free
Sexuality – your laws do not apply to me
Sexuality – dont threaten me with misery
Sexuality – I demand equality

Cake
Newsflash: If you’re holding a lunchtime party for up to 60 people and you need cake… Dufflets makes their toasted almond meringue cake in a 16″ size, if you order it beforehand. Yay! 
I found out that this was a little known fact when I called to order this cake after reading about it on their website. The person who answered the phone tried to tell me that they don’t come that big, so I said, “your website says differently.” He went to check and … oh yeah, it does! This demystification carried on and on. From the other customers @ Dufflets when I was picking it up to the wait staff at the venue. Everyone was like, “wow, I wish I’d known!!!”
So now all of you know. And there’s no excuse.

Technical Support
This gives me a whole new appreciation for librarians. 
and delves into the fantastic world of Donald Norman’s the design of everyday things!

Somebody Already Broke My Heart
Dear Diss,
You are not the first person to try to break my heart. You can try. But I won’t let you.
Clevergirl.
Here I am
So dont leave me stranded
On the end of a line
Hanging on the edge of a lie
Ive been torn apart so many times
Ive been hurt so many times before
So be careful and be kind
somebody already broke my heart
If someone has to lose, I dont want to play
Somebody already broke my heart
No, no I cant go there again

Aisha
Cette chanson est une de la plus belle, la plus romantique, dans le monde. De temps en temps je l’écoutes au minhuit quand je suis dans la voiture. Je chantes avec Khaled et Je rêves d’ être aussi belle que Aisha… d’avoir un grand amour qui me réspecter comme le chanteur a pour elle. En ce moment la dissertation et moi avons une affaire de coeur comme on trouve dans cette belle chanson. En fin, c’est en français et en arabe — fantastique!
Comme si je n’éxistais pas
Elle est passée à côté de moi
Sans un regard, Reine de Sabbah
J’ai dit, Aicha, prends, tout est pour toi …
Elle a dit, garde tes trésors
Moi, je vaux mieux que tout ça
Des barreaux forts, des barreaux même en or
Je veux les mêmes droits que toi
Et du réspect pour chaque jour
Moi je ne veux que de l’amour

Gah!
And that fact that I look like Cecilia (except I’ve got curly hair) makes this just *that much* more realistic to me.
*sigh*

Collide
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Regalia Dreams
Due to a post in gradstudents, I was imagining how purty I’d look in one of these (scroll down to bottom of page). I wonder if I’ll ever get there??

Chocolate Cake & Lemon Pie
Yes, an au currant cancon song for the diss… and it’s not so much about love as it is about keeping it simple when the shit is hitting the fan around us in the world. So bring on the chocolate cake and Lemon pie & help make this place better.
When its all too much
And Im feeling low
When its all too much,
I need simple things like peace
And I need love
I need all the things sent from above,
I need chocolate cake and lemon pie,
I need all the things that make me smile,
I want rain, and I want sunshine,
I want all the things sent from the sky
That put a smile upon my face,
And make this world a better place
– Simple Things by db Clifford
