A full 45 HMs with Arron by thursday evening, and the complete list (including the ones i didn't nom) will be posted.

This ends the list of 50 songs from the heart. Starting tomorrow: 50 nominated by the head.

Not again.

'Adjudication on Pictionary is harsh and petty to the point of vindictive: they don't accept "jetty" for "pier" at the beach, don't allow "stelescope" for "telescope", don't take "cup of tea" for "tea cup". On this episode, they didn't accept "mop and bucket" for "mop and bucket".'

And I think this makes Rosa the most-nominated performer in this picture.

"I found myself at Signal Hill with someone I just met that night, looking at the lights of the city, her eyes, and having the Best. Kiss. Ever. (aka. multiple kisses)."

/me melts.
