It's a putzing kind of day, doing some chores, watching the snowfall (not as much as I would have liked) and making vegetable beef soup. I figured something warm tasty and full of vitamins would not be a bad idea to aid to the booting of this cold out of me. No recipes from me this time, I sort of just added lots of veggies, beef, and whatever into a pot. ( now I cannot find my other shoe..hmmm..where did it go?)
I have some silly song from the 80's stuck in my head, and I think my congestion is keeping it stuck. So I am time warped into big hair, bigger shoulder pads, weird eye makeup..and lots of memories from that time in my life, my early 20's. Personally, I think it was a great time to be young. Unlike the angsty ballads mass marketed today, music seemed a great deal more original, bands actually sounded different from each other. And music videos were new and fun to watch. I have not peeped at M-TV for years, not since they went rap and started the ridiculous realty shows that television also mass marketed. It seems today if you have one good thing then there must be 50 more just like it to fill the dead air space and brain wash the general public.
What song? Journey, Separate Ways. Why? I guess when I re-watched TRON the other night it came in and decided to stay., lmao. I had a funny thought...older folks tend to go back to their golden years when they were young, I remember Grandparents who listened to Glenn Miller, the big bands, mushy songs from the 40's and 50's. My imagination pictures a retirement home in vivid pastels, loud music playing the hair bands, Bowie, Journey, The Talking Heads...yeah buddy...if I have to get old I want a Rockin' Retirement home, LOL! I can see us old farts dancing in the hallway, old men trying to look like Don Johnson from Miami Vice, gracefully older ladies decked out in outfits from Fame. Skipping down the halls to "Girl's Just Wanna have fun." If I gotta go..please make it colorful, fun and something that brings back lots of happy memories. I'll probably get caught doing something illegal in the broom closet.
Well..that was a small glimpse into my wild imagination and Tussi-DM affected vibe. Hope you are having a great day. (I don't care Mel..if I could go back, I would. Maybe you have better memories than I do..I'd like a chance to make more.)
hugs, k

I prefer to think that I will end up as part of a Golden Girls group. I would be Dorothy. I think you are Sophia! Not sure who would be Blanche and Rose!
I wasn't into the heavy metal...more of a pop chick here...
doesn't matter! We would rock out at that retirement home!
Love, Mel
Sophia?? Dang it Mel, she was Dorothy's mother, lol! I think perhaps a mix of Blanche and Rose would better suit me. Stop trying to make me older than you! I can see you as Dorothy..dryer than a desert wit, sarcasm and a raised eyebrow.
The music was great, all of it.
(of course I still secretly believe I was reincarnated anyway...I love the big band sound from the 40's, and even earlier music than that.)
A themed retirement home..i bet that there could be money in that.
kel
I was not trying to make you older than me! I think your humor/wit is alot like Sophia's! If it makes you feel better, yuo can be the combo Rose/Blanche!
Love, Mel
