My gosh... I just got an invite for my 20th high school reunion on October 25th. Certain parts of high school are still crystal clear in my memory, and still immediate in my emotions; I remember having to lip-synch in the choir for this one song because it made me cry, which messed up my voice, so I went silent during that part, and just pretended ( Read more... ) -

tantra_cat sent me this, Goddess bless her. One of the funniest things I've seen in a while. I swear the bird can tell the changes in the music. (Or is it all cosmic coincidence, like watching The Wizard of Oz while playing Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" album?) Probably doesn't hurt that I love the song.... music, videos, amusement(Untitled)
Tonight, Stevie Nicks is in town... of course I can't go (and only got to go in 2006 because of the kindness of Stella), but maybe I will dress up witchy and play some of her songs and dance by myself. Just because she is near.

This is my current 'playing in my head' Flight of the Conchords song. The context is, Bret and Jemaine have tried to buy an apple from a fruit stand vendor who is prejudiced against New Zealanders and wouldn't sell it to them ( Read more... )(Untitled)
The vet called and I am avoiding calling back, so I'm making a bunch of posts.
Aaron, who works for me once a week in the shop, set up Pandora radio for us, with some speakers which were gifts from Rua and Femmy. Pandora is the greatest thing since sliced bread; it might even be the greatest thing since sliced cheeseHe has some stations I listen ( Read more... )(Untitled)
Could someone tell me why ANYONE feels the need to create (much less record) "jazzy", syncopated, weirdo versions of beautiful traditional Christmas carols? It sounds just incredibly stupid.(Untitled)
My mother used to sing a scrap of song that her aunt and uncle, Sue and John, apparently used to sing when they worked in the fields or garden -- this would have been rural northern Kentucky, early 20th century. Since they wouldn't have worked in the fields together after adulthood, I assume they were kids or teenagers at the time. Thus it must ( Read more... )(Untitled)

Does anyone else read/like Thomas Hardy?
I cannot decide whether I like or dislike The Mayor of Casterbridge even though I just finished reading it for maybe the fourth or fifth time in my life. It's very weird. One minute I think it's genius and the next I think it's annoying. It wrings my heart but then I feel angry over it. The women ( Read more... )(Untitled)
Guess who's in town? Bernadette Peters. I lurve her. She's probably staying at the Hilton, just steps from my store. Maybe she'll be bored before her concert Saturday night and she'll come in. It could happen... after all, Chita Rivera did it ( Read more... )
