Sleeper

I got this DVD for Christmas and I watched it today. I first saw it when it came out in 1973. I was 9 years old. I'm sure I didn't get half the humor but through out the years, it has become one of my favorite movies.

I got a bunch of DVDs for Christmas... Seinfeld - Season 7, Gilmore Girls - Season 6, Brady Bunch - Season 3, Shawshank Redemption and Father of the Bride 2.


Ciao.

Corinne Sang It!

The concert was so good! She sang all 11 songs from her CD plus a Led Zeppelin song "Since I've Been Loving You".

I had an extra ticket so I sold it on the street for $2.00 less than I paid to a "scalper"; I was just happy to get some money back but...

After I got something to eat and was walking back to Town Hall, I was approached by the guy who bought my ticket and was offered a 10th row center Orchestra seat in exchange for the other 1st row Balcony seat because he could get a lot more for the pair of tickets. I was psyched to see the show from this better location.

I found a beautiful new navy pleated skirt in the bathroom with a price tag of $99. It was in a small shopping bag hanging from the hook. This was before the show. I wanted to do the right thing, so I was directed to a man who worked there. I told him the deal, but that since the skirt was really nice, I wanted the option of keeping it if no one claimed it. He told me I'd have to wait a few days. I showed hesitance and he said "I can't just forget that I saw it." I asked if he'd be in the lobby after the show, to which he replied yes. I told him I'd check back to see if someone had inquired about it and if not, I'll keep it. No one claimed it so now I have a gorgeous skirt that I can use as an incentive to continue losing weight to one day fit in it.

What a very cool evening!

I finally got a photo of what I believe is a Heron.

Cry Baby Cry

I am totally loving this song. It's by Santana featuring Sean Paul with Joss Stone.

Here's the video:



As Well ---> I got a bunch of songs tonight. More Lady Sovereign. Four songs from a British band called The Ordinary Boys. Another track from Santana's CD from last year featuring Los Lonely Boys and two of their songs.

I LOVE MUSIC !!!

Son Of a Preacher Man

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. This song is just simply fabulous! It was sung by Dusty Springfield. Here's a video of her singing it, sometime between 1968 - 1970. It seems a tiny bit slower than the recorded single.



This is Joss Stone singing it on a UK Music Hall of Fame Special in November 2006.




Another one from Joss Stone - Super Duper Love (Live) - in 2003, I believe, when she was 16.



This girl sure can sing!

Killa Beats

Heard "Love @ First Sight" by Mary J. Blige today on the Ellen Show. I had forgotten how freakin' awesome this song is.




I first heard "Love Me or Hate Me" by Lady Sovereign on a digital music channel on my TV a few months ago. I just love it!

A Few Pics

2 Miles

I took these photos today. It's freezing today! 38 degrees; 33 with the wind chill. It even snowed a teeny-tiny bit this morning.





Corinne Bailey Rae concert is next Wednesday; can't wait! I hope it's a nice sunny day so I can get in early and walk around, taking some photos.


Ciao for Now.
