Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like to hug myself.

Oh, in a really tacky pop music chain of association, I am reminded that I heard "Blurred Lines" being played at an outdoor event last weekend. I didn't think we were still doing that! (And it sure is fun, especially when you can't hear it well enough to get the lyrics.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am a firm NO on Blurred Lines.

It really is the worst.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, but there's still that bit where you start to groove before you remember how terrible it is.

This is me. Damn if it doesn't get me every time. (But I'm also on record as loving "Baby It's Cold Outside" despite how rapey it is. I recognize that some shit is problematic but has a good melody.)

This is what I'm saying! I forgot how good the music is.

Our family solution is to groove to the Weird Al version, "Word Crimes." (Bonus: dorky grammar jokes.)

"Word Crimes" is AWESOME. And it should not be surprising that a bajillion people sent it to me (or tagged me on FB) when it came out.

I may just stick to "Got to Give it Up."

Well, I've had "One More Day" stuck in my head thanks to Broadway Karaoke, but Marvin Gaye is a contender to dislodge it.
