As a BTB, 1940s music, big band... it makes me happy.

Random but true.

Also, Gabe, Steph and I analyzed the lyrics to "Coconut" today. Gabe claims the woman IS silly, because coconut milk will give you the runs. This is not something I really needed to know. Or that you needed to know, either, but now that I know it... You know it too. And adding a lime does nothing.

I maintain that it makes a great drinking song, and a great dance-around-the-room-singing-to-scare-the-neighbors song.

Steph agrees. Wishes to create a skit. And should Matchbox 20 break up, we are going to beat Rob Thomas with lime-filled coconuts. But leave his windpipe intact. Steph says he could sing from a wheelchair that goes 'meep-meep.'

Discovered Tina has never heard "Coconut." This is sad. But as it is Tina and we are all having Tina-issues, we let this slide. She would not appreciate the wonder and glory that IS a lime in a coconut, so there.

Please excuse me. It's about 1:30 in the morning and I've been researching ways to simulate oil spills for fourth graders all night. I have to go buy supplies tomorrow for a super cool experiment I don't even get to DO in class on Thursday, but we need the supplies anyway. (Make sense? NO.) But I think my lesson would ROCK a fourth-grader's world. As a sidenote.

I might just fall over laughing, because I was listening to "Witchcraft," (I think that's the name) which is very much 1940s and what made me need to share my spontaneous 1940s music joy.

'Cause it's witchcraft
Wicked witchcraft
And although I know it's strictly taboo
When you arouse the need in me
My heart says 'yes indeed' in me
Proceed in what you're leading me to
It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you...

Hehe... But anyway, the giggles would be because just now the song switched....

She put the lime in the coconut
She drank 'em all up (repeat)
She call the doctor, woke him up,
Said 'Doctor... ain't there nothing I can take
I say, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache (repeat)
Now let me get this straight...
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank 'em all up... (repeat about 20 times)
You call your doctor, woke him up
Said "Doctor... ain't there nothing I can take
I say, 'Doctor, to relieve this bellyache'
You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
You put the lime in the coconut, then you'll feel better
You put the lime in the coconut and drink 'em all up
You put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning
Woooo-oooo.... Wooooo-oooooo......

Excuse me while I "wooo-ooo" for a while.

Meanwhile, Brother bought a coconut for a dime and sister had another one, paid it for the lime.

I'd like to pay 20 cents for a lime and a coconut.

The end of the song is the best.

I am so rambly and strange. I should stop randomly posting in the middle of the night. I should sleep. Or write. As I feel like writing. Huh. Whatever I wrote tonight would probably be highly amusing, in any case. Or highly angsty. As I tend to write angst when at my silliest.

So I say Baby, baby!
Won't you join me on this island
The sun is shining
The sun is shining

Sorry. Song changed. Put the lime in the Coke, you nut.

I THINK I LOVE YOU!!! (she belts out rocker-style)

Oh! Ooo! Ooo! I forgot!!

Totally meant to do this earlier, but then the limes and coconuts distracted me.

But Ace of Base put me back on track.

American Idol tonight!!!!!!

::squeals of glee::

Dude, anyone who can take "I Think I Love You" and make me giddy like that... Yeah.

I'm in love with Constantine.

But Anwar is still super-awesome and I love him to itty-bitty bits.

I just laughed hysterically and then SWOONED over Constantine.

It is one of those songs I am LOATHE to admit liking even a little, when in fact I am a bit fond of it. Much like the Spice Girls or the boybands... (I admit NOTHING with this, mind you.)

But yes, Constantine, I tip my non-existant hat to you. You ROCKED that song. (Not an easy feat, turning a Partridge Family song into a rock song.)

It was awesome. I wants it.

Also, the blonde girls did do great tonight. I just like my boys better this year.

And what was up? Most of them did 80s songs... This is fine, but they had ALL the Billboard # 1 songs EVER to choose from.... WHY all 80s songs?!?! Not that they aren't great. I grew up in the 80s. But still. It bugged me. There's the 50s, and even though last week was the 60s, they didn't sing all of the 60s songs. And the 90s!!! I adore those. (I grew up in BOTH decades, let's put it that way.)

Also, a suspicious lack of New Kids on the Block songs. ;) And Nadia's mohawk? Scared the crap out of me.

But anyway.

I have to say I LOVED Constantine singing "I Think I Love You." It is just SUCH a contradiction it makes me giggle.

But he made that song SEXY.

DUDE.

Random is goodness.

Katie just paid me a high compliment and may never know it.



simpson172004: hey

Auto response from ladydizzybird: It is 12:54:28 PM. Do you know where your amazing bouncing ferret is?

simpson172004: sara your away messages are so random i love them



Thank you. I try. I do love them. And this is one of my more classic messages. Ariel. ;) Hee.

In any case, it's much like when Aimee told me she reads my away messages last because I have the best ones. It is fun to play with them. (But you know it's bad when you hear something and think, 'oo! away message!' Steph now sees me turn to my computer after laughing at her and says things like, 'No! Not a new away message!' Heh.)

It's nice to know they are appreciated. And that you are being stalked as much as you are stalking your buddies.

(And I prefer my ferrets in pink ballgowns. ;) I love you babe!)

Springy Spring Spring!

Um, yeah.

It's beautiful and warm and I am COMPLETELY avoiding homework. Even though I should definitely be working on the lesson plan about oil spills. Huh.

Instead, played in Photoshop for about an hour. (Considering it was only an hour, this is pretty neat.

Made myself a lovely springy desktop with pictures from Alaska. Cute foxies. :) And perdy flowers.

( Picture within! Prettiness and Anne Bradstreet! )

So, yeah. I'd better go do something productive before the trip to Wally-World or Hannaford this afternoon. Oops.

And it feels like rain. I could handle rain. Smells like it might rain. Hm. Should check the weather.

Have I mentioned today that I love spring?
