Tiddly and scatterbrained!

- There's a German word for the song that gets stuck in your head and keeps going over and over and over. I think it translates to "earworm." (Ugh.) Is there a word for the opposite phenomenon -- by which I mean the desire to hear a certain song over and over and over, to the point of putting it on continuous repeat? I don't think "adolescence" counts.

- The only thing I can make out of yarn is a snarl, but those of you with more nimble fingers might be interested in this ongoing yarn sale.

- I have a very slight desire to see the remake of The Wicker Man, for the sole reason that I want to see Nicholas Cage set on fire. However, I continue to be baffled by the addition of some weird bee-worshipping* cult, judging by the trailer.

- I've been listening to Girl Genius Radio Theater on the way to and from work. I think I've scared fellow commuters by giggling so much.

- sigerson+girlie drinks+greasy fast food+cider jack+very pretty but incomprehensible movie+biscuits!=perfect evening.



* Bees. BEES?!
omg bees.

What movie?

It was a toss-up between The Brothers Grimm and Final Fantasy: Advent Children. We watched the latter, and were appropriately stunned by sheer "Bwuh?" moments.

In hindsight, I should have expected the multiphallic nature of much of the imagery. However, the tentacles were unexpected.

I occasionally become obsessed by certain songs; "Galileo" by the Indigo Girls was the most recent; "Solsbury Hill" by Peter Gabriel last fall. Don't know the name for it though.

Ohrwurm=earworm? There should be a (German) word for the other phenomenon as well, which I've experienced many times at first and second hand.
