Happy Birthday this 15th December to ...

... the wondrous
dolorous_ett!

And if you haven't read her Sherlock Holmes and the Ravenclaw Codex, what are you waiting for? Treat yourself and go and do so now.

Apparently it's also the birthday of Nicholas Courtney, aka the Brigadier in Doctor Who -- so a hat-tip in his direction too. I spent a good chunk of yesterday afternoon watching him in prime form fighting Cybermen. :)

Lyrics: Ah yes -- the last one was Springsteen's Born to Run from 1975, easily identifiable for lupinslittlesis, muggle_prof, and tree_and_leaf. For this time -- a band I believe Ms Ett is partial to:

I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth, how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does (1980s)

Thank you - both for the happy birthday (pretty nice - day out at castle, Thai meal in evening) and the rec!

And that's the Smiths: "How Soon is Now"? And it's just about all the words of the song, if I remember rightly...

Ah yes, The Smiths, 'How Soon is Now'. And yay for dolorous_ett!

oh someone beat me to it, but it's "how soon is now". also covered by t.a.t.u. (in their first? album) and love spit love (for the tv show charmed)

Well, I'm sure we've all been there ... :D

Excuse me, I have to go play some Leonard Cohen now for something a bit more cheerful.

[snorkackcatcher]

Yep to both. :)
