The new co-worker (10 hours per week; not that I'm going to see her much) is 18ish. Oh. My. God. Finished school only this summer. Depressingly energetic, optimistic, full of hopes and possibilities, whole-life-before-her, and all that. I feel old. I miss B. *lesigh*

Tuesday's untimely late night nostalgic procrastination on YouTube made me dig through my old CDs (& also reminded me that at one point I should maybe try to digitalise some of the old records... see above. old) & look for what I can only in retrospect call my favourite crossover, because it's from a Bowie live bootleg and NIN didn't even blip my radar for another few years. I never was crazy about Johnny Cash's version of Hurt, which I guess proves I have no taste whatsoever in case that needed proving, but these two together... still works for me.

Scary Monsters:

Reptile:

Hurt:

Bowie is Bowie and Trent is a complete fanboy. Kinda adorable.

To run off on a tangent, Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' is forever linked with this vid, and I therefore love it!

And here I was idly wondering how many post-CoE Jack videos there are out there set to that song... But of course it's a rather obvious choice for the Doctor, too.

The problem is that I'll always associate Hurt with NIN and hear it in its original context on The Downward Spiral, and even with all the darkness in DW that's still too much of a gap for me...
