Daylight Savings Time

04.03.05 (11:21 pm) [edit]

Each year around this time, I go into mourning. As someone who spends as few hours of the day as possible sleeping, I tend to have issues with Daylight Savings Time. In addition to simply feeling ripped off by the fact that, suddenly, I now have one less hour in what already feel like exceptionally short days, I also just don't much like the idea of forces beyond my control conspiring to rip things away from me.

This year, my malaise was confounded by the realization that the US does not, (for reasons I do not want nor pretend to understand), change time at the same point as other parts of the world. For example, apparently, folks in Great Britain jumped yet [i]another[/i] hour ahead of their yank counterparts over a week ago.

Clearly, this simply will not do.

And so this morning, when the clocks jumped ahead and another hour was lost to me forever, (or at least until next fall), in a move that flies against everything in my nature, I found myself gladly giving it up. It feels nice to be back in sync with the rest of the universe, not to mention one hour closer to my favorite non-Liverpudlian.

That said, in honor of [b]daylight savings time[/b], I thought we'd play another little game of Name That Tune. This time around, all the songs have two things in common.

a.) The word 'time' is either in the title of the song or the lyrics pertain to that theme.
b.) All the artists are British.

Could this possibly be easier? Probably. Here are a few hints to wet your whistle:

Ok. Good luck! And be sure to keep your eyes on your own paper. After all, nobody likes a cheater.

Ah, DST. The one time of year I run around like a mad chook. Even when it's just my own time to adjust, every decent-thinking organism in my brain shuts down. :s

I'm hopeless. Now, you, go sleep some. :P

I don't get it. You are at least the third person I've read complaing about daylight savings this week (Dave Barry had a crack at it, so you're in good company). But it's odd. I love daylight savings. In my book more daylight = good. And I don't understand how anybody can make the equation more daylight = bad. Very odd you people ;-)

As for the quiz, I can name one of the artists and that's it. "Must work harder" clearly.

Actually, I think I am the hapless dolt. No matter, what I do, I make them too hard. Grrrrrr. :)

What can I say?? I like to be in charge of all things... including time. ;-)

As for Dave Barry. My 3rd period class (I'm a teacher) wrote to him one year and he wrote back. He's a kick.

The first one. It has to be the Cure, right? Dunno the name of the song though.

1) The Cure - One more time.
3)Nick Drake - time has told me.
4) Sting - All this time.

I don't know number two.

..I miss you when I'm dreaming, like I never do when you're around....

Can you name the song and/or artist from those lyrics?

I'm gonna take a pass on this one... but it looks like Filbert did a decent job, except for (2) Mandalay : Kissing the Day.

Hmmmmmm. I know I should. And they're somewhere in the recesses of my mind, but I cannot put my finger on them.

Don't just say ok (dork) tell me who I have missed.

Sorry for failing your test.

You know... I really need a new copy of that Mandalay album. Are you gonna hook me up or what? ;-)

I hear those Liverpudlians are quite a brutal lot, actually.

When you're not looking, they steal your shoes.

Gosh. I completely forgot about that. I haven't listened to that CD in ages. It's cool you still like it.

Do you remember the day you got it? You called me.

"Michael Writes His Parents."

That is a wonderful memory.

I do remember that day, and other things you sent and why you sent them. The book sits atop my desk at work among its fishy friend books.

See. Now you told me that you had throw it away during one of your many moves. I'm smiling now for sure.
