Thinking About "Mumford & Sons"

In regards to the post below this one, I was thinking of the lyrics of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." The official lyrics are

Rock and roller cola wars

but I was thinking "roller coaler," which I mistyped as "roller coller" because it looks better. I wonder if you can claim creative license to writing something down incorrectly, or mishearing something. I could hear "coller," but instead it was "cola."

Oi, my thought is too complicated to be expressed at this time of evening. Maybe I'll come back to it later.

However, the band Mumford and Sons is my new Counting Crows, and perhaps the Proclaimers, too - more than the songs that have cropped up in popular movies like Shrek. (Gasp - Shrek 2 is where I heard my first Counting Crows song... eep, more proof that I"m living life backwards.)

Things I Could Be Doing

This post and accompanying picture is dedicated to TropeGirl, who likes to use M.S.Paint to illustrate stories on her blog. I was bored last Sunday during the siesta hours; I'm not given much of a siesta at work, and it's hard for me to take siestas on the weekends. Instead of sleeping, doing research for work, studying Spanish, o reading for pleasure, I drew this.



It's not that good, and I have few intentions of building my internet fame on the quality and humour (gif, British) my drawings, but it's really my way of letting TropeGirl know I care. Imitation is the best form of flattery, after all. It is unfortunate that that line won't get you out of a copyright lawsuit.

On this lovely Sunday afternoon, it's time for almuerza (lunch) and then maybe - just maybe - I can hop on the train and take a walk in El Retiro Park.
