New Music, Pizza, and Another Blog

Remember my posting entitled "Things that are Things that I Think I Should Share"? If not, click away and read. In this particular posting I included a song by the talented, up-and-coming Wisconsin artist, Jake Goergen. The song was "Open Relationship".

Want to listen to it again?



Get it? Because Jesus wants us to love and be with other people! I think it is funny and witty, and you should, too. Plus, while I can't for the life of me ever sing the verses, whenever I hear the term "open relationship", the refrain plays in my head. Play it again now and sing along. Catchy, right?

Now that you are all caught up and have had your refresher course, I can share this next song with you. The mightily talented Mr. Goergen has written and performed another song. Entitled "If You Don't Know by Now" and written while walking to a football game, this particular ditty is a bit more serious. Again, though, the refrain is particularly catchy and easy to learn.



If you are having a hard time understanding some of the lyrics like me (because you are listening to music from the tinny, tiny speakers on your laptop), the artist has graciously provided the lyrics.

"Sitting on a bridge with my legs hanging off
watching memories tangled on the shore
Season's passing by you were the apple of my eye
but I don't see you around anymore

If you don't know by now I guess you'll never know
never know never know

The leaves fall around me As I'm walking down the street
All along they just keep floating to the ground

they leave their impression on the wet concrete
A mark that lasts for months don't make a sound

A road that never ends and a light that never fades
and a pattern in the stars leads me back to you

You look the same, but I forgot your name
The pleasure of home is seeing something new" 

Now you can listen to it again and sing along. Isn't that handy?

And now that you have your dose of new music, take a moment and read this delightfully biting article comparing the merits of Cosmo and Bust. The Protagitron never ceases to amuse.

And in other news, I had pizza last night at "Nick 'n Willy's" with a third grade colleague. I had the Mediteranean pizza minus the chunks of tomatoes, and it was delicious. Today the other Ivy and I went to the Shops at University Square to play some board games and hang out (since both of our homes were too untidy to have company). We ended up eating at Zpizza there. I had the Gorgonzola and Pear pizza, which was delicious. I only ended up eating half the pizza, which means I will have enough for tomorrow's lunch. Then, as we were leaving, they were closing up shop and boxed each of us up a couple of extra slices of pizza on the house. Guess what I am having for dinner tomorrow? I will have pizza for four meals within three days. I am living the life, my friends.

Things That are Things That I Think I Should Share

1. Modern Nativity: Apparently my sister enjoyed it so much, she watched it twice. It was cute, so I'll give it that.



 I kind of feel like it is a giant commercial, though, so that might be what is stopping me from enjoying it as much as others seem to be.

2. Dexter: So I've been watching this recently, and no wonder people like it. It is very engrossing, but not so much so that I have to really focus on what's going on. This is good because as you may know, my students are rubbing off on me and I am beginning to have a shorter and shorter attention span. This might be because I cater to kiddos, and we change gears about every 10 minutes.....Proof of that is right now. I am off topic. Dexter is a decent show, and if you are looking for a new show to get into, even though I am only partway through season 2, I would recommend it.

3. "Open Relationship": Every once and a while when I hear the phrase "open relationship", this  starts playing in my head. It took a little bit of creative search words to find it again, but VOILA:






I think it is clever, anyway. Catchy. Makes me giggle.

4. Danny Friedman and the Beastman Band: The couple I used to babysit for had the most adorable baby! And the guy, unbeknown to me all that time, was in this band.

 Might I suggest "Lord, I'm a Chicken" or "Woman, I don't want no baby comin' out of you!"...

5. Snow: Due to the snow, we got out 2 hours early today! WOOHOO Early release! Good news is I got to go home early. Bad news is, this could screw up my weeks lessons. Good news, I got to chill and watch some television shows. Bad news is I kind of goofed around and got a fraction of the things done that I could have. Good news, I am feeling pretty relaxed. Sigh.

6. Retro Folgers Commercials: Another one for your enjoyment.






See what she did there? She took his infuriating demeanor and turned it right back around on him! Doesn't feel so good to be on the other side, does it, Harold? And like I said to Harvey and other husband, "Why don't you make your own stupid coffee?"
