These are not good love songs

I had to go to the dentist today and while I was there I got sucked in to a local radio station's top 94 love song count down.

Now, I presume that they are doing "love songs" because it is Valentine's Day, an allegedly romantic holiday. I would have thought they would want love songs that are actually, you know, happy and stuff but apparantly the definantion of "love song" is broad enough to include the following songs:

"All By Myself"
"Nothing Compares 2U"
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" which includes the super happy line "once upon a time I was falling in love, now I'm only falling apart". Sweet!
"I Will Always Love You" Seriously people-- this is not a song about a happy couple


I'm holding out hope that they will eventually get around to playing "Every Breath You Take" by the Police. It seems entirely possible.

By somewhat popular demand

A few of my far away friends have requested proof that I am, in fact, knocked up. So, here you go. I'm 24 weeks/6 months and, in this picture, in need of a good pressed powder.
