I love "Escape" (the Pina Colada song) like crazy. I've promised Tim I won't sneak it onto the wedding dance party playlist.
At my first wedding, my older brother replaced our choice of music for the walk down the aisle with Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rose". Fortunately, I double-checked everything before the ceremony started.
I got annoyed at "Freebird" this morning, too, the song of "yeah, toodles, honey, I'm way too cool and free-spirited to care that I'm breaking your heart. Hope your birth control didn't fail, bye!"
I was quite disappointed when I realised, not long ago really, that this was the message behind A-Ha's "Take On Me".

Surgery~ma for Grace and Kat!
I have 6 siblings and wouldn't touch any of them with a 10-foot pole - sexually.
I have no Pandora station. I listen to NPR talk all.the.time.
Oh god, I used to love "Escape," too. My love for "Brandy" is sort of unholy at this point, though. "At night when the sun goes down, Brandy walks through a silent town, and loves a man who's not around ..."
Man, I *loved* that book with a fierce, burning love in high school and college. I re-read it in my 30s, and I was like, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, JOHN IRVING?
This is me and
Flowers in the Attic.
And at the end neither one of them realizes that they're involved with someone who will look for fun in the personal ads while involved with someone else.
Wait, I thought the song made it clear when they met at the bar it was because he answered her personal ad, so they both did know exactly what was going on.
Yeah, I thought the point was that they were actually perfect for each other. Even if they didn't know it when they answered the ads, they recognized it as soon as they saw each other and realized they should have been communicating more honestly.
I may have thought about this too much.
so they both did know exactly what was going on.
No, they're both cheating on each other.
No, they're both cheating on each other.
Or at least intended to. Which kind of makes them people who belong together...
Yeah--they MEANT to cheat on each other, but ended up with each other.
Related to nothing being discussed here, the guards at the pool were swabbing down the deck. With bleach. Or rather, chlorine used in the pool system.
My nose. My supersonic nose today. Whoo boy.
(And for those wondering, my officemate did have mac& cheese packed for lunch. With tomatoes. Also cheesecake, but I must've missed that scent for the gingery lotion I had on.)
