This has been bugging me for almost a week

So at some point about a week, week and a half ago I heard a song that had a lyric that is getting stuck in my head. My problem is that I don’t know what the song was, or who the artist was. I’ve gone back over every group I’ve listened to in Nighthawk in the last week, and can’t find it. I’m starting to fear I heard it on XM - in which case I may never figure it out. So I figured I’d ask cyberspace.

It’s a band with a male lead, and the line went something like “looking for girls that look like you in amateur porn.” Now, before you go all ewww, you need to know that at the time it was clever and fit into the song. I’m really just curious who would be that blatantly honest in a song.

Anyway, I’ve gone through Fall Out Boy, Muse, Snow Patrol, The Police, A Perfect Circle, The Black Eyed Peas, TaTu (which obviously wasn’t a contender), and everyone else I can think of that I know I listened to. At this point it was something on XM, wazee, or something with Matt in Hburg. At this point I’m starting to wonder if it was during my drowsy drive to work Sunday night, and I imagined the whole thing.

So if you have any leads or ideas, let me know. It’ll put my mind at ease. If you wondering why ‘Net hunting doesn’t work, just try to Google for anything with “amateur porn” in it. Not the links I’m looking for.

Whatever happened to the days where DOS meant black and white screens and a nifty CLI?

So work sucked. A DOS attack yesterday afternoon left things quite in shambles, and dropped a bit of mess into our laps. We muddled through, and survived the night with little to no casualties.

Then, on the way south this morning, I was held up by a State Police vehicle that was doing 10 miles under the speed limit. Nobody would pass him. It was your standard issue cruiser, it was a big Winnebago wanna be that was designed for some special purpose. It was marked E.O.D. Unit - but I could place what it was. Eventually traffic thinned out and I was able to resume my normal speeds south. Once I got back to the ‘Net, I looked it up. The E.O.D. Unit is the Explosive Ordinance Disposal Unit. That’s right, I was held up by the Bomb Squad. I at least hope they were going somewhere to do interesting things.

It also got nice and chilly this morning - nearly down to 40 degrees when I left the office. ‘Bout damn time it got cold. I’m not a big fan of the heat. One say soon I’ll throw open all the windows, let the cold air in, and say “Bring it On, Jack Frost!”

Oh, and I finally caught Lost. I like how they told the same story they did last week, and ended it in exactly the right place, and we didn’t learn much. Hooray for blue balls! Oh well, all is not lost (no pun intended) since Michelle Rodriguez shows up next week. Good timing too, the island was starting to look like a sausage factory. I would recap, but those who watch it saw it, and those who don’t couldn’t give a crap. If you do want some Lost brain candy, go here.

And I slept through Smallville. Hopefully that’ll make itself available shortly, and I can catch up.
