Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends

Life In Technicolour is just beautiful. It's beautiful.

There is a flavour of Hindi sounds, maybe Middle Eastern, but mostly Hindi, I think. It's an excellent release. I am completely delighted, completely thrilled. I have loved them ever since I heard Clocks on the radio, a lifetime ago whilst working at USII. Coldplay may be the best thing that they've given me.

And life is beautiful - I may have not been living it to the fullest of late, but I still know that it is good. But this - this helps! I love music and it adds so much to life. I will definitely be playing this to death for a while!

I'm usually very trepidatious about new CDs by beloved artists... too many disappointments. I hate that. Barenaked Ladies just released Snack Time and it is not very good. Their last release wasn't too good, either - I love a couple of the songs, but that is it. It was a let down to hear this one, I'm sorry to say. I'm very confused about it; I think they released a kids' CD, but that is not my style.

Coldplay, however, not only kept their trademark sound but still made it sound exciting and new. I love Chris Martin's voice and I really delight in the music.

I'm glad to hear you are enjoying that music and happy.
I didn't think I knew who Coldplay was and googled them and realized, yes, I did know a couple tunes.
My iPod is probably done charging now so I'll have really good tunes in my head later when I'm working.... or procrastinating about working. LOL
I've started a jewelry page, the link to come shortly. Well, the link is actually on my sidebar but didn't formally make a blog about it yet. Just a place to sell some jewelry.
Wish me luck!!

Keep singing! Hug, M

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour.

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
