Earworm of the day
Dec. 30th, 2008 07:04 amMy earworms usually turn out to be songs I hate. One hypothesis I read concerning why a song I hate would insist upon looping through my brain like a skipping LP is that while I may not like that particular piece of music, my brain does. Maybe this ties in with why these things are usually bits of songs that were pretty popular. They flipped a vast number of switches and wormed into people's brains, and most of those people didn't mind.
Yet another earworm began looping yesterday, but for a nice of pace, it's a song I actually like. Tapestry, the title cut of Carole King's album. It was, iirc, one of the first albums I ever bought, and the first popular album as well. I played it over and over, to the point that I could sing the whole thing by heart. I still remember some of the songs in their entirety. Sang Tapestry all the way through while standing at the kitchen sink yesterday, just to see if I could, and I could, save for the odd word. And as I did, I really listened to the words for the first time, and my, but that's an unpleasant song. Eerie.
In times of deepest darkness...I've seen him dressed in black---now my tapestry's unraveling...he's come to take me back...he's come to take me back.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I wouldn't go with that man. The singer, however, apparently does.

Watching Rachel Maddow on Countdown. I like her. Unlike other guest hosts, she doesn't try to emulate Keith Olbermann's style and delivery. Only KO can do KO. Yes, at times he sounds like the class smartass. But for the most part, his guest hosts have sounded like the class feebs trying to imitate the class smartass, and not quite succeeding.
A week ago at this time, the Ninc cocktail reception was winding down. I think I was heading out to dinner at a local Irish pub, of which there were several in the immediate area. I cannot for love or money recall what I had. However, the next day we went to the same place, and I had the best grilled tuna steak I think I've ever eaten.
What I should have had at some point were the fish 'n' chips. So many folks ordered them, and said that the fish was really tasty. Of course, I tried to be good, sticking with grilled foods and low carb...until the day I came home, when I cracked and got an order of batter fried cod from the local fast food place. Somehow, it didn't quite measure up.
Writing on tap for tonight, with the first Rings movie playing in the background. The Blackhawks are out of the playoffs, thanks to the Predators' win. It's too bad. The franchise has come to life in the past few months, and they have some great young players. Next year, all the games will be televised, and I'm looking forward to them. Must get hold of a jersey at some point. Must learn the rules of the game at some point.
Cubs lost. They're 1-3 so far.
Tax refund appeared in checking account via the magic of electronic deposit. Nice.
