Yes, I have. No, I don't know how come. But I wish I hadn't just written a big post!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
There's a great swing song called "The Big Noise From Winnetka" by Bob Crosby and the Bobcats. It has no lyrics, just someone whistling and it's awesome.
Bob Crosby was Bing's brother and he had a successful swing band.
Au contraire, Scrappy fair. There are lyrics to it. In fact, you can see the band doing a version with lyrics in the movie Reveille with Beverly which I nabbed off TCM not long ago. Ann Miller stars as Beverly the G.I.'s favorite deejay. Every time she plays a song the camera focuses in on the spinning record and then it irises out to what is basically a video of that song. It also has "Take the A Train" by Duke Ellington, and a super skinny Sinatra in a tux singing "Night and Day" accompanied by an entire orchestra of women, all making flirty eyes at him. Lots of great early Mills brothers too.
Recommended!
Also, my favorite version of "Big Noise From Winnetka" is an instrumental version, with lots of whistling by Cozy Cole. Swings like a mofo.
The lyrics:
Big noise blew in from Winnetka,
stole each girlies heart and then,
big noise blew in from Winnetka,
big noise blew right out again.
Girls were sighing, their boyfriends crying,
their hearts were breaking when,
big noise blew in from Winnetka,
big noise blew right out again.

Has anyone else had trouble getting onto LJ this morning? Is it down for some reason?
Huh. I was just about to chime in with woe, but it looks like it's back? Maybe. Could explode again.

It looks like I picked a good time to take a computer break for some real life interaction....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How did it get to be after 3:00 already? I still have far too much to do today, like finally go buy Allyson's book, and arrange it so I have edible stuff in the house.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm coming down with a fever. 99.5° and going up. Crap.
