Older son, who often hums Beethoven or Mozart etc, is humming 'She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain'. Really? I have never sung the song to him. Husband has never so much as whistled the song. They are singing Christmas songs in school (yes, already). Where on earth did he hear this song to start humming it?

The boys are watching PBS - Curious George to be precise. From the snippet I just saw in passing, I believe the Man in the Yellow Hat is having an 'It's a Wonderful Life' moment.

What the?!?!?

episode 5.9 - best speech ever!

( hidden for obvious spoilers )

So, am I the last one to find out that Finn Hudson was one of Tommy Collins' camping buddies in "Wendigo"? Remember, there were 3 guys - Tommy, Gary (his white friend), and Brad (his black friend). Brad died at the camp; Tommy and Gary were taken to the Wendigo's lair. Gary was the midnight snack that left Tommy the sole survivor in the cave.

Now, I must go re-watch the episode before Flash Forward comes on.

So, I just realized that I never posted something about 'The Curious Case of Dean Winchester'

So, the last few times I made banners to try and use them for my journal, PhotoBucket seemed to respond but there is no picture.  I mean, it tells me the upload is successful but there is no picture or URL.

I am not really familiar with this sort of thing - does anyone know of another site I can upload pics to to post them in or on my journal?

Dear Universe,
It is not my fault!

Item 1: Universe (a.k.a. the bank) has blocked my debit/credit card due to some jerk in California using it (and failing) to make some repairs to their car.
Grounding - at least one week, possibly two.

Item 2: Universe (a.k.a. the husband) has confiscated my car while his is in the shop since he needs transport to work, work-related appointments, and other commitments.
Grounding - probably a week.

Item 3: Universe (a.k.a. some sort of technical glitch that I don't understand) has decided that I should not get or send e-mail, however, my internet abilities still work.  Huh?
Grounding - who the heck knows!

In conclusion-
seriously Universe?  but it's not my fault!

The telephone just rang and caller ID told me that it was J2 Global Co calling.  That gave me a giggle.  Unfortunately, it was just someone I once donated to calling to tell me the progress of their campaign.  Still, it was fun for a moment.

Does anyone have any musicals (movie or broadway) that they would like to share?

Hey there, F-List,

I am looking for some move-your-body music.  You know, the sort that you play when you are working out or cleaning the house, etc.  Anyone have any favorites?  And, if there is a 'why' story behind it, all the better!

For instance: I have decided to put Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' (or whatever the title is) on the list because I immediately picture high school football players bustin' out in a fun little dance when I hear it - thanks "Glee"!

So, anyone else?

Interesting little article about how most science fiction shows have found religion... or have religion strangely force-fed to their audience:

When Autumn rolls around, there are two things that I crave - entertainment-wise.  First, The Nightmare Before Christmas and I know that it is all about characters getting ready for Christmas, but come on!  The characters are from Halloween Town and all of their songs are eerie in a wonderful Danny Elfman sort of way.  Besides, I tried watching it at Christmas time and it didn't work.  My all-time favorite Christmas movie is still Scrooged with A Muppet Christmas Carol in second.

The other thing is They Might be Giants.  Sure, I get a yearning to listen to their music at other times of the year, but Autumn is TMbG time for me.  And, I have to say, I think there must be some others who (at least subconsciously) feel the same way.  The Johns have turned up here, with my FB friends, and in rl.

So, in that spirit, I would love to hear some of my FList's favorite lyrics (or songs).  You don't have to be a super-friend.  I, myself, am most familiar with their first 4 albums with some scattered tunes elsewhere.  I would like to hear you, even if you only know 'Flood' songs, or just one song...

With all of anteka 's talk and lovely icons of 'Leverage', I was inspired to create something.  Unfortunately, I do not have such a gift with icons... so instead, I give you this:
