SOTD: New Year's Eve

No audio for this one either.....but I did find guitar chords--that oughta count for something!

Hey, hobo man, hey Dapper Dan
You both got your style, but brother
You're never fully dressed without a smile

/ G - Gmaj7 - / G6 - G G6 / D7 - - - G G6 D7 - /

Your clothes may be "Beau Brumelly"
They stand out a mile, but brother
You're never fully dressed without a smile

Who cares what they're wearing
On Main Street or Saville Row
It's what you wear from ear to ear
And not from head to toe that matters

/ C - Cm - / G B7 Em - / D - Em - / Bm7 E7 A7 D7 /

So, Senator, so, janitor
So long for awhile, remember
You're never fully dressed
Though you may wear the best
You're never fully dressed without a smile

/ G - Gmaj7 - / G6 - Bm7 E7 / Am7 - D7 - /
/ Bm7 - Dm6 E7 / Am7 - - D7 G - - - /

Happy New Year's Adam!

Today's SOTD has no audio link, ostensibly because it's a TV theme?

Where it came from...who knows? I woke up to my small cat sitting on my chest, staring me in the eye, and this song-->

Spoken: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated.

We’re gonna do it!
Give us any chance, we’ll take it.
Give us any rule, we’ll break it.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true.
Doin’ it our way.

Nothin’s gonna turn us back now,
Straight ahead and on the track now.
We’re gonna make our dreams come true,
Doin’ it our way.

There is nothing we won’t try,
Never heard the word impossible.
This time there’s no stopping us.
We’re gonna do it.

On your mark, get set, and go now,
Got a dream and we just know now,
We’re gonna make our dream come true.

And we’ll do it our way, yes our way.
Make all our dreams come true,
And do it our way, yes our way,
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you.

Merry Christmas!

Happy, happy, birthday baby
Although you're with somebody new
Thought I'd drop a line to say
That I wish this happy day
Would find me beside you.

Listen

Christmas Adam

Every day, urban dictionary sends me a word of the day. Yesterday's urban WOTD was Christmas Adam.

You know, December 23rd? Because Adam came before Eve? I know, kind of lame, but all day yesterday I found myself thinking, "Today is Christmas Adam".

These things get stuck in one's head.

SOTD: 12/22/07

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I'll be all in clover and when they look you over,
I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.

On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.

Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.

--> Irving Berlin, Easter Parade



Can't find a song sample (if anyone can, let me know and I'll add it). It's from a 1942 movie called Holiday Inn with Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. If you've not seen it, DO! It's really wonderful :)

So, at what point should I just assume it's menengitis?

Day 3....
It's been 3 days since I've been able to turn my head in any direction pther than the pre-ordained"straight". DB went and got me one of those thermacare things last night...ahh, air + iron rock things = warm + sleep.

Things weren't so good around 3am when I actually picked up my own head to turn it to the left so it would hurt less, but they're a little better now.

Man, I would make such an excellent parade horse. No blinders for me. Can't even turn my head no how...

I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him and listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
Stranger to my eyes

All ears?

The weirdest thing happened to me on Thursday night...

...I know, that's saying a lot--given the contents of this blog and the various things some of you may have heard come out my mouth over the years--however...

In the early am hours of Thurs night/Fri morning, I woke up (somewhat confused, as usual) to find something extra super creepy thing in my bed!

I happened to be sleeping on my stomach, when I moved my left hand, only to find something that was kind of warm and felt like fingers lying on my pillow. CREEPY!

Now, I sleep on the left-hand-free side of the bed, and since I was on my stomach and the "fingers" were pointing to my left, I knew it wasn't DB's hand. Unless it had been detached from his arm in the middle of the night....which does seem like a viable option when one is woken up in the middle of the night only to find an extra hand on one's pillow.

Anyway, I picked it up to fling it off the bed so I could turn on the light--it was icky-warm--only to find that it wouldn't go.

At this point, I was waking up a little bit, and I decided to investigate a little......only to find that this creepy, warm thing was connected to....my own arm.

Yes, my hand was so far asleep that it wasn't even tingly. I couldn't even tell that it was my own right hand that my left hand was trying to pick up and fling to the floor.

Where I thought my actual right hand may have gone during this little episode? I have no idea.

Want to have some fun? Come over and wake me up in the middle of the night--see what happens....

I'm a thourough-bred, that's what she said
in the back of my truck bed
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds
Out on some back country road.
We were flying high
Fine as wine, having ourselves a big and rich time
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me

But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation
Had me begging for salvation all night long
So I took her out giggin frogs
Introduced her to my old bird dog
And sang her every Wilie Nelson song I could think of

And we made love!

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please dont break it
Love was made for me and you

Ecoutez (7th one down)

SOTD: 12/13/07

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop busses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair and well,
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I am officially too old to sleep on the floor

Well, on the floor without a cushion of some sort, at least.

Yep, we lost power during our snow/ice storm last night at about 845P and ended up having a campout in the living room, sleeping bags and all :)

Since our furnace is electric ignited, when we lose power, we lose heat. Given that it was cold out, we decided to camp out in the living room with the gas fireplace. So we dragged out the sleeping bags and the flashlights, and settled down with cat/cat/dog on the floor.

(Also fun for us--when the power goes out, we lose water, since we're on an electric powered well. So we got to have a great night of "don't flush if ya don't gotta". So nice....)

A good time was had by all! My zero degrees-rated mummybag kept me warm and claustrophobic--and one cat and the dog kept me pinned down in various uncomfortable positions--throughout the night.

The other cat? Inside the bag with me all night long. Just like a mink hot water bottle. That periodically sinks its claws into your leg.

So, although I've now realized that my bones no longer desire to sleep on the floor, all in all, it was a fun night :)

The SOTDs have disappeared!

Temporarily, of course. I'm back in the middle of an audit again, and it seems that they drive off the SOTDs :)

It should be over by Xmas, so rest assured, I've not forsaken you all :)

SOTD: 11/23/07

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope you all had turkey and green beans to your heart's content :) Traditionally, my family has always cut their Xmas tree down on the Fri after Xmas, but due to previous years' drought, our farm is not open this weekend.

So, looks like more eating and lounging around for us today! It's a heavy cross to bear....

Anyway, on to the SOTD-->

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

I hope you know, I hope you know

That this has nothing to do with you

It's personal, myself and I

We've got some straightenin' out to do

And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket

But I've got to get a move on with my life

Its time to be a big girl now

And big girls don't cry

I don't hardly know you,
But I'd be willin' to show you,
I know a way to make you,
Laugh at that cowgirl as she's walkin' out your door.
I know a way to make you smile.

Just let me whisper things,
You've never heard before.
Just let me touch you, baby.
Just let me touch you for awhile.

I know at least one of my readers

is a blogspot blogger, him- or herself, so...

does anyone know how to get linked stuff to pop up in a separate window? It kind of annoys me to keep hitting the back button to get back to the linked stuff on mairzydoats.

Help!

I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
