MSN

Will somebody please enlighten me?

.

When I want to find a certain someone on MSN or when someone pops up to say hi to me, I can’t identify that someone because:

1. he doesn’t use his name for his display name,
2. he changes his display name ever so frequently, and/or
3. he has a cutesy cartoon or something other then his own face for his display picture.

Why do people do that?

Je crois entendre encore

from Bizet's opera Les pêcheurs de perles..

Was driving home today when the huantingly beautiful aria Je crois entendre encore was aired on Symphony 92.4FM.. This aria never fails to move me.. While the version aired on radio was a pure instrumental piece, the version above features the great Swedish operatic tenor Jussi Björling whose magnificent voice continues to thrill opera lovers more than 40 years after his death.. Inhabiting a torturously high tessitura with long notes and sung andante, this is one very demanding aria..

I've never felt so lucky in my life!

Good music never dies..

"Tennessee Waltz"

This 1950 hit by Patti Page was another one of those songs on VHS karaoke that I grew up singing to.. There's a certain charm to the simplicity of the tune and lyrics..

Whoa! I'm gonna be RICH!

I cannot understand how people can be deceived by such scams.

Old MacDonald Had a Farm

.

Went for Qian Hu's "Fish Spa" today..

Couldn't stop laughing as the fishes nibbled at my feet.. The sensation was tingling.. OooooOOoo.. Smoother feet..

Visited another farm and bought some veggies..

Little Brandon ever so cute.. Feeding bunnies..

And another farm.. Bollywood Veggies and its bistro, Poison Ivy..

And yet another farm.. With a pair of sliding doors that rawk..

Farm hopping.. What a great way to spend your Sunday..

Was driving to school today when I unconsciously started to hum

"Before the Next Teardrop Falls"..

This 1975 hit by Freddy Fender was one of those songs on VHS karaoke that I grew up singing to.. Call me old skool but this song really has a beautiful tune and meaningful lyrics..
