Hurry up, John
Feb. 23rd, 2008 01:27 pmWaiting for your knock dear
On my old front door
I don't hear it
Does it mean you don't love me any more?
So I took a walk up to Sognsvann today (WTF Wikipedia? You're starting to scare me), since the weather was absolutely lovely. Eight months I've lived here, and this was my first visit to Sognsvann. Would have hiked around it if I had better shoes. I saw some interesting things on the way, though:
First, I had passed a very nice statue outside the Norwegian school of sports sciences. It was a naked body in mid-leap, muscles working, called "Joy". It was so very nice and dynamic and that's why I doubly enjoyed the fact that it was a woman. You hardly see statues depicting females in dynamic positions, do you? I liked it very much.
Then, right before I reached Sognsvann, there was a gate. It was a regular gate, only somebody had grafittied a big heart on it, with the words "FORGIVE ME!!!" First I thought, that was a funny place to write that, but then I realised that this gate had been in a relationship, and the other party screwed up and wanted to make amends. Since I don't know how bad the screw-up was, I wasn't sure if they got together again, but if they didn't, I thought a silent "You go, gate!" as I passed it on my way home.
I've been searching YouTube for some slightly obscure Beatles songs (in the end I've found out I can save loads of time just by finding a fan video with a song I like, and then rip it to an mp3, rather than downloading an entire album), and gee, how could I not have realised there exists such things as Beatle slash videos. Oh yes. Not that Beatle slash is new to me - Tiny and me have had our share of late-night discussions about the possibility of Beatle orgies - but you know, "zomg they looked at eachother!! otp!!" is a bit unneccesary when comes to the Beatles. I mean, sometimes it seemed like even John and Paul slashed John and Paul (quick Google: Yep, there they go.)
Okay, enough about the slash. I've found this hilarious "proof" of the Beatles backmasking their songs. There's the usual Paul is dead business, and then there's the lovely utter hilarious ones: "There's even marzipan, there's even marzipan NOOOOOW." I feel bad for the people who sit down to play every song in the Beatles catalogue backwards, I really do.
Also, the subject matter of I'm down (love it to bits - all the screaming, yay!) is "Goddamnit girl, I want some sex now." Y/Y?
Right, this just morphed into a Beatles post. Strange. Good thing I still got my John icon.
