Things that made me smile today….

I went to have my tires rotated today in The WC and was told it would take about 45 minutes. As I walked over towards the seating area I saw a stack of newspapers in a vacant chair adjacent to your typical WC couple. As I rifled through it all to find the Arts & Entertainment section the male half of the couple says to me, “Here are the Wanted Ads.” Without skipping a beat I responded, “Wow, is it that obvious?” He turned red, his wife jabbed him in the arm and scolded, “That was rude of you!” He sputtered, “No, no, I meant…I thought maybe…I just didn’t want to hoard the paper from the lady.” To taunt some more I added, “There’s a lot I want, unfortunately the Wants Ads aren’t going to help”. He apologized and stayed quiet for a while. The WC can be so amusing.

I do love the KALX for introducing me to new (to me) artists like they did today. They played an A Cappella cover of Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ sung by A Cappelle artist Petra Haden. It’s brilliant and the video makes me love it even more….www.youtube.com/watch
Then I checked out some of Petra’s other work and found her female A Cappella group, Petra Haden and The Sell Outs singing the Who’s ‘I Can See For Miles’. I like how animated Petra is, it looks like she has someone in mind while she’s singing:

Jennie told me about Depeche Mode’s version of ‘Suffer Well’ for The Sims. They sing in Gibberish, so really the song should have been called, ‘Schoopie Quell’. Funny video:

And this video is one of my all time favs ever since the late ‘80’s: www.youtube.com/watch

It has: 1) a good song, 2) cute, dancing English boys like “Julian” and, 3) Andy Warhol. See? All a girl needs and none of which can be found in the Want Ads.
