Musical Monday: Supermassive Black Hole Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem Stephenie Meyer's writing prowess is my weekend-with-Monday-and-Tuesday-off drug.

Musical Monday: Runaway - Bon Jovi Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem My computer has gone crazy. Going out was no option because Red Shirt protests have escalated so I tried the TV. That's when I learned from CNN that as of yesterday the death toll was 19. image It's the start of Songkran (Thai new year) here but it looks like protesters are not chucking water at each other with the intensity that this event is traditionally characterized with. It's a different liquid poured on the gates of Government House but do not to go to this link if you are squeamish. I'm trying to numb some rising fear here by sticking Runaway to my head today.

Musical Monday: What a Wonderful World Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem Is it just me or do you also notice that sometimes when you are required to write something concise, you could hardly do so? All weekend this was my trouble. I drafted a research proposal overview that, if approved, would involve textual analysis of National Trust publications -actually simple to look at but taxing to put together. Louise Armstrong's What a Wonderful World would be one way to describe a part of it. Diane hosts Musical Monday @ Good Mourning, Glory! ************************** Monday Mayhem: I love this about...

Musical Monday: In The Air Tonight Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem It was either Don Johnson or someone whose name I didn't pay as much attention to. Globe-trotting, short-term boyfriend mentioned that he briefly worked with one Miami Vice actor. Then off he went out to finish a meeting while I stayed behind to finish viewing bundles of photos. In one snapshot the guy he pointed out as the actor preceded him on the stairs of a plane. My mind ambled along opening scenes of The Real McCoy; the roar of Ferrari as Burnett and Tubbs sped on a dark highway interspersed with Phil Collins' bark-like "oh lord, oh lord, oh lord..." God I must have existed in the 80s already :D Diane hosts Musical Monday.

Musical Monday: Somebody to love Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem My kiddo discovered 1930s Mickey Mouse clips on youtube. The only trick that could prise him off the computer was to go out to eat his favorite steak. Back at the apartment I tempered his new addiction by making up Mickey's girlfriend, Ella of Frell; that Ella is his complete opposite: Ella obeys, CJ resists. He lasted til Somebody to love , which is thankfully what I particularly wanted to rewatch; my best consolation for not being able to see Alice over the weekend.

Musical Monday: All My Life Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem On Wednesday, March 10th is my wedding and divorce anniversary. (Is there a divorce anniversary? *lol) Yes, I got married and divorced on the same date. "So we remember only one date for two events," ex-hubster explained. Documents lay on the table. We faced each other. The divorce official chuckled. "Where are you going?" ex asked, his eyeball rolling towards the UK visa sticking out of my passport. "It's sweltering outside. Why is your girlfriend not inside?" I ignored the familiar bossy tone. "She's scared of you." Scared... I gripped the urge to laugh as I reviewed the papers with only one aim besides getting rid of him: full child custody. "Gosh, I should be changing aircrafts in Paris, not middle east," my mind shot back to my upcoming trip. Ah well, he got the real estate, liquid assets and all his golf clubs. I got the kid, the dog, and all the photo album
