1.) Maria’s “not quite done yet.” Nominated by Daisy.

You know it’s the right thing to do, you know it’s the thing you’ve decided, and yet. They will force you to look at the state of the world and make you believe, for a teeny bit of a second, that it will all be better if you just decided to stay with the man who denied you for the duration of your cohabitation. Because that would be best.

2.) Nelly’s Garden’s “In Which I Am Found Lying On The Broad Of My Back On My Father’s Grave.” Nominated by Bob.

“Too true,” said I. “If there’s anything more cunning than a Catholic priest it’s a Catholic bishop. No doubt they’ll all have been sitting about discussing the problem of neglected graveyards.”

3.) Steakhouse Blues’ “[I have more memories than if I were a thousand years old]” Nominated by Lyle.

I remember the thrill of playing football–the base joy in understanding that I was faster, stronger, and/or meaner than those that opposed me. I remember the pride I felt when opposing players would point me out during warm-ups and issue warnings to their teammates, “there he is, that’s 74. Watch him, he’s alot better than he looks.”

4.) Welcome to Hobocamp’s “you’re nice.” Nominated by Bun.

The man on the overpass is kind of famous where I live. He’s in his thirties or so, lives near the bridge with his two sisters, and has an IQ somewhere in the sixties.
