There are girls just ripe for some kissin - and I mean to kiss me a few

I don't have any idea why I'm in such a fantastic mood today. Perhaps it was the nine-hours of sleep I got last night? That's a good theory. To better prepare for my 0700 conference call, I made sure the kids were down and I was in bed by 2100. I remember at one point I looked at the clock and was upset it read 10:59 until I closed my eyes and realized I'd been dreaming (I'd had a healthy portion of mozzarella for dinner). Which means sometime between 2100 and 2300, I'd not only fallen asleep, but actually managed to sleep deeply enough to hit REM sleep. Awesome!

Oh, those girls - don't know what they're missin, I've got a lot of living to do

Mostly I've been dancing Christopher Walken-style from the 'Weapon of Choice' video. That is of course when I don't break out into song. I think that most people are just full of horseshit. They say, "Musicals aren't very realistic because people don't just break out into song and start dancing." Aside from the fact that enjoying a musical has NOTHING to do with realism, I find that in my everyday life I do break out into song! Ask anyone who knows me.

And there's wine - all ready for tastin, and there's cadillacs - all shiny and new

This may a little difficult for me to piece together at this juncture, but I'm going to try. I dreamed there was a new movie out. It was the intertwined story of Japanese carjackers driving metallic-orange Japanese coupes, and a group of Texans who were traveling across the state in Conestoga wagons (in traditional garb of that period). What I recall most about this movie other than the stark differences in this cross-genre film, was that the well-known actors did all their own songs (which were remakes of popular songs limited to the West Texas area - I remember thinking at the time, "Poor [livejournal.com profile] drax0r won't be familiar with any of these since he hails from East Texas..."). I remember being moved to tears with emotion everytime these well-known actors began singing their songs. It was beautiful.

Got to move, 'cause time is a wastin' There's such a lot of liv-in' to do!

Mostly I've been soft-shoeing around the office today signing my favorite hits from the likes of Bye Bye Birdie, The Pajama game and Guys and Dolls. I set the coffee maker to start early this morning in preparation of my early morning call and drank 3 full cups of hot, black coffee. I think the euphoria has just lasted all day long. Oh, and the conference call went well - always a plus!


There's music to play, places to go, people to see - everything...for you and me!
Life's a ball, if only you know it - and it's all...just waiting for you!
You're a-live, so go on and show it - there's such a lot of livin' to do!

So it's true, then, that cheese makes you delirious?

All Things Considered, September 16, 2005 ยท According to a new study by the British Cheese Board, different cheeses can give you different types of dreams. None of the study volunteers reported nightmares from their bedtime snack. NPR's Melissa Block talks about the results of the study with Nigel White, secretary of the British Cheese Board.

Don't you break out into song throughout the day?

To whom are you speaking? I always break into song, but the word "break" has it's own meaning- the lamps around the house are as terrified as inannimate objects can be of me.

I can be sitting at my desk working, suddenly I'm up out of my chair and out of my office, whirlling around singing, "The hills are alive, with the sound of music..."

I'll be sitting around the house watching TV or cleaning or some other dismal, dreary task, and I later find myself running around the house "dancing" (I'm so terrible I can hardly classify the movements as dance) and singing. Mostly I sing songs of my own creation, which comes at the moment it pops from my mouth, but sometimes I sing corny songs from Disney movies I haven't even seen in years.

It's not the moves that count, it's the spirit!

Well, that I've got.

Then you're golden! (of course musicals are particularly entergetic because that's how they're sung - with pomp and fanfare and gusto!)

"Broadway is dark tonight..."

They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere

They say the girls are something else on Broadway
But looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime?
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes

Ha! They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But oh! They're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway

Oh, they're dead wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway
On Broadway
I'm gonna make it, yeah
I'll be a big, big, big man
I'll have my name in lights
Everybody, everybody's gonna know me, yes
All up and down Broadway
Ohhhhh yeah!
