You Know Not!

Oh boy! Phoenix real estate. And Dear Henry! I thoroughly enjoyed this show, and am even contemplating live blogging the episodes. Oops, I think I started at the end, didn’t I? Let me back up to the beginning!

You may recall (or maybe not, because I can’t even find the post now) that I was interested in NBC’s new show Journeyman. I tuned in last night, and if you can’t tell from the above, I thoroughly enjoyed this show. Yes, even to the point of knocking David Caruso off his Monday Night Throne. Journeyman rocks that hard! I’ve already announced my intentions of watching it weekly to DH. The show meets somewhere in the middle of Quantum Leap and The Time Traveler’s Wife. In fact, I credit my reading of TTW with my ability to understand and enjoy the show from the beginning, as DH was lost until the end. The final scene seemed to bring it clear to him, though.

My suggestion? Get the book, read the book, watch the premiere online, and meet me back here next Monday night. This one has made a TV watcher out of me again. It’s just that good.

Continuing our word association game, I was presented with the phrase drug treatment this morning. Can you guess what song I thought of? It was one of the earliest ones purportedly about drugs. Written and sung by the band “more popular than Jesus”. As if, but whatever. Got it now? Yep, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Remember that awesome song by Styx? I used to know all the words, back in the day. It would come one, and I would just get all dramatical singing and gesticulating, and I’m sure people laughed for miles around. You know what, though? I still love tha song, and I still sing it along when it comes on the radio. Excpet now, I downplay the Diva part, ykwim? Cause nobody wants to see that, LOL!

Im sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
Ive got to be free, free to face the life thats ahead of me
On board, Im the captain, so climb aboard
Well search for tomorrow on every shore
And Ill try, oh lord, Ill try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But well try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

This blast from my musical past was inspired by cruises. What does that word make you think of?

High School Musical? How did you like it, and who did you go with? I’m asking because I offered to get High School Musical tickets and my girls turned me down. Naturally, I am now curious. Their taste in movies is wuite different, so I expected at least one of them to want to go. So, give me the 411, ya’ll.

If you have a family the size of mine, and if you love moviesw the way we do, then you might want to check into these popcorn machines. They cost less than I thought they would, and would make a super cute, yet very usable decoration in a media room. I like the antique looking ones myself, but, too bad for me, I don’t have a media room.
