Happy Easter, darling. You've got me listening to "SOS" now. It's my favourite ABBA song besides "Head Over Heels." And all the rest.
WHAT ARE PEEP KABOBS I GOOGLED IT BUT DON'T GET IT. You... grill them? I gathered as much, but IS IT MEAT IS IT SWEET WHY CAN IT BE CHICKEN BEEF AND FRUIT TOO WHAT HEATHEN TRICKERY IS IT YOU GOT ME INTO? (i've had too much chocolate already)

Oh dear. No Peeps in Hungary.

Okay.

Peeps are chick-shaped marshmallows covered in sugar. My roommate was trying to come up with some wacky art piece using Peeps-early attempts involved a Peep factory-and this is what he ended up with. CALM DOWN SOPHIE PEEP KABOBS ARE NOT REAL.

Ahh. Marshmallows. Okay. The chicks look a bit sad.
LOL - I found this site (warning: animation, loud music, shocking new cultural learnings). Wow. Serious business. Fan club and all.

This reminds me of when I translated the word "styrofoam" for you. Come to think it, that's kinda what peeps taste like!

My ex- got me into Abba. I had only been familiar with Dancing Queen and SOS before that. (I understand they were originally more popular in Europe than the States.) The songwriting is so good; it's melodically a cut above the other pop music of the time. In fact, their compilation Abba Gold is so good, I'm even willing to forgive them "Thank You for the Music"! :-p

Hope you guys are having a great Easter. Ah damn - I've left the peep-kabobs in the oven too long and they've melted! :-(

Gold is all I've been listening to for the past few days.. well, that and Blondie's greatest hits.

i was listening to the radio the other day and Bob & Tom were on; (btw is that a national radio show or just an indiana thing; or do you even know what i'm talking about? ANY FUCKING WAY...) and they were making fun of ABBA. they played fernando. all i could think was, this isn't all that bad. and then of course it was stuck in my head all day.

I am pretty sure that Bob & Tom are everywhere, but Q95 is their home station which is why Q95 is fucking awesome.

And I will never say that ABBA were ~brilliant~ or ~groundbreaking~, but I goddamn well will say that they uplift my mood better than anything in the whole wide world.

Also, how are you?

i love Q95, they play loads and loads of da zep. i never fully appreciated the bob and tom show, but now i find myself listening to it in the mornings and it's actually pretty damn funny.

i guess i've never really listened to abba...like, at all maybe? erm... but the songs i know of seem pretty ok.

also, i've been fine. just working a lot. hating being an adult. trying/failing at being a guitar hero badass. you are graduating soon, no?

jimmyjimmyjimmy.

They play a lot of Black Dog and D'yer Mak'er and I heard Stairway yesterday and idk, it annoys me. But sometimes they will surprise me with Fool in the Rain or Heartbreaker/Living Loving Maid and my faith is restored.

See I never listened to ABBA either until last week or whenever, and even now I still only have a greatest hits compilation, but really that's as much ABBA as anyone needs tbh.

December. Idk, I guess that's soon.
