will the *real* incurable romantic please stand up?

[saffronhare]

I give up. :) I went ahead and created another station on Pandora, where I can binge properly on all the songs that make my heart swell with romance and sweet, snuggly bliss. They're not all slow songs...but they're sure sappy. And that makes me happy. Corny rhymes and all.

UPDATE: After lunch, I switched back over to the "cool music" station. And it's playing Days of Our Love by David Hasselhof. I voted thumbs down, but it's not stopping! Ahh! Es tut mir weh.

i love that kind of stuff! i think it's fine to. btw, i love oleta adams. the album that song is from was produced by roland orzabal, and i'm a big orzabal fan.

Thank you! I really love it too. It makes me very happy to dwell in particular moods -- so I'll probably end up with a few different stations when the dust settles. I'm very lucky to work in a creative department that understands a girl sometimes needs a soundtrack for her day, you know? Still, can't devote too much time to music management over actual writing. (shrug)

Actually, catching some of your music mentions has led me to stuff I wouldn't normally have considered. I even went back through some of your older entries for the music I used to give Pandora clues. :)

wow, that makes me feel really happy! i live for music. (for a couple of years there, every song i listed in my journal was by joseph arthur. see icon. *g*)

i love your Duerer hare, btw. maybe i already told you that. call me Forgetful Jones. :)

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think you'd mentioned that. I'm sort of stunned to see you over in my journal, actually. ::waves in a friendly manner::

I like my Duerer hare, too, and wish I could remember how to make proper umlauts here.

ok, i figured it out. you type D[uml]rer, except you replace the [ with & and the ] with ;

i'm sorry i haven't commented more. you have a very nice journal!

[daisydumont.livejournal.com]

oh heck, i wrote the instructions wrong. you type:

D[uuml]rer

but [ = &, ] = ;

the first 'u' shows you want the 'uml' over a U and not, let's say, an X. :)

lemme try that (again)

wunderschön

try it with 'ouml'

i'm sorry i screwed it up. it's hard to show how to do this, because if i type the actual command, it won't show the command at all but an o with an umlaut. grrrr. :D

ahahaha! all your umlauts are belong to me!

*snicker* For great jüstïcë!

I cheat when I can't remember the HTML code, and go google for "umlaut" and copy-n-paste the correct character. :P

What a Nifty As Crap ® website! Thanks for replying with it! I'm so excited, you see, because I am a Nordic Nerd™ and love to be able to spell Þorr's name with the correct Icelandic/Old Norse letters and such. How fun! I am now amused for at least the rest of this day.

Hee! You're so cute, in a threatening kind of way. ;)
