What a Day!

[jpgr]

It started off ok. I got up and went to the hairdresser at 9:30. Things ran a little longer than normal so I didn't have time to stop at Staples before my electrolysis at 11:00. OK, got out of there around 12:15 and ran up to Barnes and Noble and picked up the newest (in US anyway) DWM. Driving back home, I stopped at Staples and then at Walgreens. Then, my car wouldn't start. It wasn't the battery because everything else worked so I called my dad and he comes up and fiddles with the engine but can't find the problem. SO I call AAA and they said they'll have a tow-truck within the hour. About 40 minutes later, a little van shows up and the guys fiddles with the car and it starts right up. Apparently, there is a security feature in the car so it won't start if it thinks it's being stolen. Nice to know, eh? So I finally made it back home around 3:30. Nice to know I didn't have to dole out big bucks!

So on the writing front, I didn't get much done today as I planned to. I'll see how much I can get done tonight.

I just have to say that for the longest time, I thought the lyric to #2 was "Jojo was a man who thought he was a woman, but he was another man."

Me too, Kit! And as Luke has been listening to the nice Beatles CDs from his loverly godmother, the topic has come up again. Hee! And they can't quite figure out the "huh?" ending to "Obladi Oblada".

The second verse is "Sweet Loretta Modern thought she was a woman but she was another man"

Sorry to hear about the car eating your day. I bet Dad was annoyed that he couldn't figure it out.
Did I forget to answer lyrics last week? I tend to wait and see who gets what and then sometimes I forget to go back, and I don't remember typing about Roxy Music or Til Tueday, altho I did end up singing "Voices Carry" all morning.

So I'll do this week.
1. Wouldn't it Be Good - Nick Kershaw
2. Get Back - those boys from Liverpool
3. Let's Call the Whole Thing Off - Ira Gershwin (can't begin to know which versions you have! Fred? Your new boys?)
4. I Fall to Pieces - Patsy Cline
5. Seasons of Luh-uh-uh-uhve - Rent

Very good. You got them on all counts. "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" is Fred & Ginger from Shall we Dance.
