haha... interesting meme.

and i loved a couple of songs by UT - building, and another one. god, long time ago.

Captains Courageous! That is my new career. #1 fortune cookie is actually very appropriate because I am painfully sober at the moment. Bad times. And #3 is a nice one.

[glenatron.livejournal.com]

#3 is the most fortune-cookie of all, I think...

[raselhague.livejournal.com]

So what you're saying is... I really want to go to the moon but it's going to be a really wobbley road to get there?

I like advice #2.. it's good advice.

[glenatron.livejournal.com]

That's certainly what my music library thinks. I'm a little worried that you need to be packing for the crash, but I guess that could be to do with making sure the parachutes on your re-entry module are configured right...

[life-of-tom.livejournal.com]

hmm. Some of those quite make sense, you know.
