So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He's also into zombies with Halloween, which I am loving.

Well, if you need some Zombie songs let me know. I've got about a jillion of them.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm using "Sweet Caroline" as my earworm breaker. Which in and of itself is an earworm.

It's a bit of a conundrum.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Someone recently told me that if you hum the theme to the A-Team, it'll crack any earworm.

For me, it's "Snakes On A Plane".

So kiss me goodbye,
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive.
So kiss me goodbye,
I can see the venom in their eyes....

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Evil ear worms.

I came home from karate, started a bath, and threw my gi in the wash. I pulled out my purse to check my phone and there was no phone. I checked the car - no phone. I threw some sweats on and drove back to the dojo - no phone. I know I took it to the dojo, so panic started to set in. I looked across the snow covered parking lot and notice a lump near where I had been parked earlier. I don't know how it hadn't gotten run over. It was cold, cold, cold, but still working. I'm so glad I went back to the dojo to look for it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do your ears hang low / Do they waggle to and fro? / Can you tie them in a knot? / Can you tie them in a bow? / Can you throw them over your shoulder / Like a Continental soldier? / Do your ears hang low?

I was just coming in here to complain about that earworm, before I knew other people were afflicted with their own.

Our university earworm-buster was "Islands In The Stream" but I don't know if I can go there with this headache. That's a lot of schmaltz.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Mmmmm...schmaltz....

You know the proper (original) version of that isn't about ears, right?

I was a Girl Guide. My first version was about ears. Then I was a proper teenager, and it no longer was.

I hit up Youtube for Islands In The Stream, but had to interrupt it to send my sister this link because she didn't understand the #1 entry on this list. Now she still doesn't, because it will take at least another email to explain it, plus maybe wikipedia.

But at least the song from the Dove commercial's gone.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Noah gets sesame street and yo gabba gabba. So our songs are about parties in your tummy (so yummy! so yummy!) not the dino ones. For now. I'm scared to say that as it might disturb the universe.

I should be grading my honor's classes papers and yet, FEH. They need more support than my AP class but they aren't in my corral of 70 kids I care about this year.
