LAST EDITED ON Feb-05-16 AT 08:35 AM (EST)
She paused, then took his hand and said, "Damn you, DJ Croft. I didn't want to love you, but I do." DJ looked at her in silence for several seconds, stunned by all that she'd revealed. When he finally did speak, what came out of his mouth was so unutterably lame he briefly wished for a thunderbolt to strike him down for coming up with nothing better: "I... I'm sorry about the sonnet." Asuka stared at him for a moment, and he waited, inwardly cringing, for her to explode. Explode she did, but not the way he expected; it started with a tiny, involuntary turn-up of one corner of her mouth, progressed through a muted snort to silent shivering, and then swelled into a full-on, clean burst of laughter as she sat up and pulled him hard into a hug. "We're like an old song," she observed between winding-down chuckles. "'That's All'?" DJ replied. "You know it?" "One of my favorites," he replied. Just as I thought it was going all right I found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right It's always the same, it's just a shame That's all I could say day and you'd say night Tell me it's black when I know that it's white Always the same, it's just a shame And that's all I could leave but I won't go Though my heart might tell me so I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes But why does it always seem to be Me looking at you with you looking at me It's always the same, it's just a shame That's all Turning me on, turning me off Making me feel like I want too much Living with you's just putting me through it All of the time Running around, staying out all night Taking it all instead of taking one bite Living with you's just putting me through it All of the time I could leave but I won't go Well it'd be easier, I know I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes But why does it always seem to be Me looking at you, you looking at me It's always the same, it's just a shame That's all Truth is, I love you More than I wanted to There's no point in trying to pretend There's been no one who Makes me feel like you do Say we'll be together 'til the end I could leave but I won't go It'd be easier, I know I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes So why does it always seem to be Me looking at you, you looking at me It's always the same, it's just a shame That's all But I love you More than I wanted to There's no point in trying to pretend There's been no one who Makes me feel like you do Say we'll be together 'til the end But just as I thought it was going all right Found out I'm wrong when I thought I was right It's always the same, it's just a shame That's all Well I could say day and you'd say night Tell me it's black when I know that it's white It's always the same, it's just a shame That's all That's all - Genesis "That's All" Genesis (1983) |

LAST EDITED ON Feb-05-16 AT 07:44 AM (EST) This song, I know from of old.Another, however, I just happened to first hear today, and the lyrics and imagery (in the official video) resonate for me, in a really odd way... I'm not sure if NXE is the best place for it, I leave that up to you. Fall Out Boy - Centuries |

Ah yes, "Centuries". I get many mental images connected to my work from that song. Most are UF-related, but you're right, there is an undeniable resonance with parts of NXE too, particularly when the video's emphasis on teamwork is taken into account. We've been here forever And here's the frozen proof I could scream forever We are the poisoned youth... Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me— Remember me for centuries --G. -><- Benjamin D.

Because of the way the plot arc shaped up, we really never got to have any time with them when they were all four at the top of their game at the same time, which is a shame. Also, for convoluted reasons, all of this has caused me to experience the following: INT. - EVA-02 ENTRY PLUG. ASUKA S. LANGLEY is at the controls, eating a small bag of corn chips and directing her remarks to the pilot condition monitor camera in the upper righthand corner. ASUKA I know what they're doing. I mean, I know EXACTLY what they're doing. 'Cause they just keep repeating "go faster than any pilot in the history of EVA combat," like that's a GOOD thing. Like it'll distract me from how insane their plan is. Yeah, I get to go faster than any pilot in the history of EVA combat. Because you're launching me into ORBIT. ASUKA Actually it's worse than that, because I won't even be able to control the thing. And by the way. Physicists? When describing things like acceleration? Do not use the word "fast". So they're only doing that in the hopes that I won't raise any objections to this lunacy. Because I like the way "fastest pilot in the history of EVA combat" sounds. She munches pensively on the chips for a few seconds. ASUKA (a bit reluctantly) I do like the way it sounds. A beat. ASUKA I mean, I like it a lot. Another beat. ASUKA I'm not gonna tell THEM that. She finishes the chips, wads the bag up and stuffs it into a storage compartment on the side of her seat, then gives the camera a wryly pensive look. ASUKA OK. Let's do this. She picks up her helmet from the control console as the entry plug starts flooding with LCL. EXT. DAY - BAIKONUR COSMODROME, KAZAKHSTAN. EVA-02 is bolted into an open-air cage of girders at the top of a GIANT SOVIET BOOSTER. "WATERLOO" starts playing as the rocket BLASTS OFF. --G. -><- Benjamin D.

I confess, I messed up Dropping "I'm sorry" like you're still around And I know you dressed up Hey kid, you'll never live this down But you're just a girl all the boys want to dance with And I'm just a boy using too many chances I'm sleeping on your folks' porch again, dreaming She said, she said, she said "Why don't you just drop dead?" I don't blame you for being you But you can't blame me for hating it She'll say "What are you waiting for?" Kiss her, kiss her I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late Write me off, give up on me 'Cause darling what did you expect? I'm just off, a lost cause Long shot, don't even take this bet You can make all the moves, you can aim all the spotlights Get all the sighs and the moans just right I'm sleeping on your folks' porch again, dreaming She said, she said, she said "Why don't you just drop dead?" I don't blame you for being you But you can't blame me for hating it She'll say "What are you waiting for?" Kiss her, kiss her I set my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late Always on (always on) You said you'd keep me honest Always on (always on) But I won't call you on it Always on (always on) I don't blame you for being you But you can't blame me for hating it She'll say "What are you waiting for?"

Furthermore, this one would have been the end titles song for the last regular-series episode.
Stuck in the jet wash Bad trip, I couldn't get off And maybe I bit off more than I could chew Overhead of the aqua blue Fall to your knees, bring on the rapture Blessed be the boys time can't capture On film or between the sheets I always fall from your window to the pitch-black streets And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade Former heroes who quit too late Who just want to fill up the trophy case again And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right I'm yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right I'm not passive but aggressive Take note: it's not impressive Empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse On my bedroom floor, we put your curse in reverse And it's our time now if you want it to be Maul the world like a carnival bear set free And your love is anemic and I can't believe That you couldn't see it coming for me And I still feel that rush in my veins It twists my head just a bit to think All the people in those old photographs I've seen are dead And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right I'm yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right Oh and sometimes I just want to sit around and gaze at my shoes, yeah And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right I'm yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right And in the end I'd do it all again I think you're my best friend Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right I'm yours When it rains it pours Stay thirsty like before Don't you know that the kids aren't all Kids aren't all right - Fall Out Boy "The Kids Aren't Alright" American Beauty/American Psycho (2015) |
