We were going to go grocery shopping a couple of hours ago, but Moss said he needed to make a list of stuff first. In light of that, I pulled out the Dance Dance Revolution mat for a quick game while I waited. Next thing I knew we were in versus mode, and now... well we still haven't been to the store, and I have this feeling I ought to shower and change first. The exciting thing is that I have improved quite a bit in the last week. I was playing old versions and just tonight came back to the one we've always had. I can do several songs that I couldn't pass at all before, and even managed a few of the easier songs in difficult mode. Very exciting. And now I need water.

Now that all the guesses are guessed, I can safely present you with The Very Silly Video for "Pop Goes My Heart", which is an 80s style synthpop song that they made Hugh Grant do a video for in the movie Music and Lyrics.
And while I am linking to video, why not see the very low quality video for "Move It Like This" by K7? I suspect the video is full of unfortunate sexist things, but this song has stuck in my head since it was popular on local radio when I was in middle school, and I have to say, I like it.

Guess the quotes. No googling. Prizes for all winners.
1. I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor, drinking milkshakes cold and long. 2 points to Tim "Five Years" by David Bowie
2. Because I am a gentleman, think of me as just your friend, who remembers every dress you ever wore. 2 points to Tim again. "I Don't Really Love You Anymore" by the Magnetic Fields
3. "And what is Hell? Can you tell me that?" 2 points to Moi. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
"A pit full of fire."
"And should you like to fall into that pit, and to be burning there forever?"
"No, sir."
"What must you do to avoid it?"
I deliberated a moment; my answer, when it did come, was objectionable: "I must keep in good health and not die."
4. A twist of fate makes life worthwhile. You are gold and silver. 2 points to Moss. "Pop Goes My Heart" from the movie Music and Lyrics.
5. The heart has gone. We've just got roses left. 2 points to Moss! "God Knows" by Thea Gilmore.
6. "Listen, you might want to pack a few of your things before going to bed. The former bishop of Turkey will be coming tonight along with six to eight black men. They might put some candy in your shoes, they might stuff you in a sack and take you to Spain, or they might just pretend to kick you. We don't know for sure, but we want you to be prepared." 1 to Liz and 1 to Mira. "Six to Eight Black Men" by David Sedaris.
7. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough. 2 points to K. Fear and Loathing in las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson.
8. I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else, I'll never see just what we're meant to be. And still 2 more points to Tim. "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order.
9. I went into an alehouse I used to frequent, and I told the landlady me money was spent. 1 to Mira. "Wild Rover" is a traditional Irish ballad.
10. (Double bonus points as this one went unguessed last time) I love the way you look at me, I love your smile. Why don't you come and talk to me just for a while? Give me your love, oh give me your love. 1 point to Moss (because he shouldn't qualify for the double bonus on this one) "Move it Like This" by K7.
