Saturday 9: Name That Tune

1. What was the first CD/LP that you ever purchased?

Pink Floyd's The Wall. No, wait. Ray bought that. U2's Boy would be the first one that I bought. The first inherited album I had was The Beatles' Abbey Road.

2. Are you still a fan of that group or artist?

Oh, gods, yes. Huge!

3. What was the latest CD/mp3's you've purchased?

Coldplay's Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends.

4. Is there an artist or band that you relate to more than any other?

Mmmmm, probably not any one band - not any more. I identify with a lot of bands and what they have to say. And more come up all the time. It is not necessarily the message that they have, but how they say it. Love, longing, anger, angst, they are all the same emotions to each but how someone says they are in love, have longing, feel anger, feel angst, that is where the difference lies.

5. What is your favorite song currently?

Viva La Vida, which is unusual for me, since the lyrics have a lot relating to Catholicism, something I'm not. But the music and the lyrics - amazing!

6. What band or artist do you think has had the most influence over the years?

U2. They really have changed the world.

7. Is there a band or artist that you love, but is a "guilty pleasure"? If yes, who?

Oh, sure. There a couple. I have my few bands that no one would think I'd like... Let me see... Hold on...

8. Is there a band or artist that you hate, but most people seem to love?

Bruce Springsteen. I so don't understand that. The man sounds like he gargles with Liquid Draino and this is talent! How does that work? How can that be? I'm mystified by that.

9. What is your favorite CD/LP of all time?

SAY WHAT? You are asking someone with a library of 800 CDs and 10,000 songs on iTunes to answer this! Not possible. There are too many with top rank.

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...
