Brr!

I’m in California, people, and it is cold. What kind of topsy-turvy world is this, that I wish I had packed wool sweaters for a trip to Southern California? San Francisco, sure, it’s always freezing there. But this, this is all wrong. Eden has the fireplace going, and I’m considering huddling next to it. And maybe coaxing Cookie to spread out over my lap. Her piping hot breath will keep my fingers from freezing.

(Okay, it’s probably 60 degrees. And why yes, I am a delicate flower.)

Because I put a catchy yet maddening theme song in your head yesterday, here’s the song that my brain is looping for the day. I think you will find it peppy and not Jameson Parker-ish.

It's cold in the tropics too. Sixty five degrees! Must. Wear. Fleece.

[You can call me, 'Sir']

Whoa! A mariachi band. I was not expecting that! AAAAAAHHHHH!

Catchy tune, though. Great tambourine.

[Spandrel Studios]

This song propelled me from the train and out into the workday on many a slow-moving Monday morning this summer. Just now, it inspired me to get lunch.

[Angela]

I think I want to make out with the white shirt/glasses guy. Yep. If he wanders into my house, I believe I'll make out with him.

[Nicki]

It's actually warm and sunny up here in Seattle. There are people outside!

[Heather Caliri]

Be _glad_ it's not warm and windy. That's how it was the other week, when SoCal started burning down.

[Linda]

Did you see them on Saturday Night Live? Hard not to love.

[whoorl]

Wito totally dug it.

[2shews]

Who was that and what was that? Must. Download.

[All Adither]

I am so unhip. I have never heard this.

[dd]

this song puts me in the mind of old billy joel. and not even in a bad way!

[Ann]

yeah, I suck...I've no clue who this is. But it makes me want to dance my way around the house.

I recently went through a phase where I would listen to this song on repeat on my 30 minute commute to work. This one and "She moves in her own way" by the kooks.

[Sarah Brown]

That is Spoon, and the song is The Underdog. Go ahead and download the whole album.

[Shnoodle]

I hadn't seen the video yet, but the song has been stuck in my head for over a week. They show you every musical element but the clapping! I must know how to do the clapping...

Thank you, thank you, for driving the theme song from SpongeBob out of my head. I owe you my sanity.

[She Likes Purple]

The high is 63 in Texas today. I AM ANGRY ABOUT THAT.

[Julie]

Gee, thanks. I will now carry this around with me all day, whichis OK except I only kinda sorts know the words and so that means I'll be sort of making things up and maybe remembering a word or two here and there and THAT WILL DRIVE ME FRIGGIN CRAZY.
