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...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
