Janet. Ms. Jackson if you're nasty....
When normal people are tucked in bed and sound asleep, you can often find me wide awake...dancing. I am sure I have written of this before.
Well, last night, I started importing a bunch of CDs that I couldn't import form January 2006 to April 2007. Man, I've purchased a lot of CDs since then.
Anyway, 1 AM rolls around, and when most people who have to get up at 6 am are in bed, I decided to do some dancing...2 hours of dancing actually. If you're one of the 4 people who has seen my new place (and you're probably not because I don't think any of them read this) you know it's really not large by any stretch of the imagination. But really, you could put me in a closet and I'd still find a way to spin in circles or something. I usually start at the door, work my way through the main area, down the "hall," into the bathroom, make a spin and come back out. All done with style and grace of course (riiiiight).
After dancing around to songs from various genres of music, I decided to play one of my staples - "If" by Janet Jackson. Now, I have known this song for maybe five years or so, but it's much much older than that. And I didn't know what the hell she was saying other than the chorus until about a year ago. I would just make random stuff up (watching various YouTube versions of the video, I learned I wasn't the only one).
(this video has the best combo of sound and visuals without sitting through the additional minute of "story" the long version has. blah)
But on that faithful day, about a year ago, I decided to look up the lyrics....

Here's a message that I'm sending to you...
This weekend has left me with tons of free time that I hadn't planned for. Some people would go for a walk. Some might paint a pretty picture. I decided to watch Saved By The Bell.
Was that show the sh*t or what?!? God, I loved Saved By The Bell. I've seen every episode half a million times. Come on, remember when they started a band and they had that hit song "Friends Forever"? I learned long ago that when driving, I should keep my hands at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel (thanks Slater, I'm sure that tip helped me with my driving test) and thanks to Kelly performing in the Miss Bayside pageant, I learned the words to "Blue Moon." I as watching the episode when Zack made a "Girls of Bayside" calendar and a photographer liked it. I'm so jaded now that I was waiting for the guy to be revealed as a child predator and for everyone to learn a sobering lesson at the end. I totally forgot that the guy was actually decent and Zack was just being a jerk as usual.
I finally made my way to Season Two and I'm close to the end. My favorite episode is on. I'm sure it's many people's favorite - "Jessie's Song." The girls made a kick ass music video. That video was probably the highlight of childhood television for me. I knew all the words and moves (of course).
Please, join me in reliving the memories...or if you lived under a rock, experience it for the first time...
Rock n' roll - you ain't seen nothing yet! I still get absolutely giddy when I see it.
Well, I have to get back to the TV now - the Bayside gang is going to set up a 1-900 advice line and Kelly's little sister falls for Zack. Woohoo!
Viva....?
So, here I am, watching Nightline when I should really be in a bed.
All of a sudden a commercial comes on. Some guys are sitting around jamming on instruments and I think "I wonder what this commercial is for...."
And then I found out....
...boy, I was not expecting that! I'm still somewhat speechless. I'm not sure why.
Who is Will Traveler? Don't forget the lyrics!
Well, a couple of months back, ABC premiered a show called Traveler. I watched the hour long sneak peek episode (which seemed more like a first episode than a "sneek peak") and thought it was pretty good. My schedule has no sort of consistency whatsoever, so I quickly forgot about the show and with the major shows on hiatus for the summer, all I've really watched is the news when I get up and the news when I get back in, or before I go to bed.
Tonight was...well, tonight was weird. I turned on the TV, endured some America's Next Top Model (I actually liked the early seasons), and then tuned into Fox to catch Wayne Brady hosting a new show called "Don't Forget The Lyrics." Is that the perfect show for me, or what? I'm really really good with lyrics. This show is like "Who wants to be a millionare?" Except you sing karaoke to popular songs instead of answering trivia questions. The woman on tonight...god, what an awful voice. But she's cute and spunky, and that's what works for television. It was kind of painful to listen to her, but I LOVE Wayne Brady and I get some amusement from watching people f- up lyrics to popular songs.
After that, I tuned into ABC and decided to watch Traveler. I regret missing out on the season! Next week is the finale! ABC keeps 4 weeks of episodes online for viewing, so I might check a few more out before the finale next week. It's a dang good show, but I just wonder where it can go and how long it can last.
That's all!
