On a sad note ...

I just heard Tony Randall died. So, in honor of him I'll post these lyrics as well:

No matter where they go
They are known as the couple.
They're never seen alone
So they're known as the couple.

As I've indicated
They are never quite separated,
They are peas in a pod.
Don't you think that it's odd.

Their habits, I confess
None can guess with the couple.
If one says no it's yes
more or less, with the couple.

But they're laugh provoking;
Yet they really don't know they're joking.
Don't you find
When love is blind
It's kind of odd.


I didn't even know The Odd Couple theme had lyrics. So, thanks Isabella, for pointing this out!

TV Tuesday

1. What is your favorite TV theme song?
"Where Everybody Knows Your Name" -- Cheers

2. Which song drives you crazy enough to hit mute on the remote?
I really can't think of a song that drives me that crazy but whenever I hear the "Sanford & Son" theme I change the channel becasue I hate the show.

3. Which song are your proud to say you remember (most of) the lyrics to???
There are SO many I remember all the lyrics to. One night Nick & I stayed up for hours singing TV theme songs. Among them were The Jeffersons, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch and ...

~Bonus~ Put the lyrics on your page (from memory), and I'll list you next week in the TV Tuesday Theme Song Hall of Fame. Don't forget to leave a comment so I'll know you posted!

This is it. This is life -- the one you get -- so go and have a ball.
This is it. Straight ahead and rest assured you can’t be sure at all.

So while you’re here enjoy the view keep on doing what you do
So hold on tight we'll muddle through one day at a time.

So up on your feet. Up on your feet. Somewhere there’s music playing.
Don’t you worry none. We’ll just take it like it comes. One day at a time.

~~~

Actually, my favorite lyrics are from "WKRP in Cincinnati" but Isabella already posted that & I didn't want to cheat :)

Matters of the heart...

1. What do you look for in a guy/girl?
He has to be smarter than I am, but he has to know he's smarter so he doesn't have to prove it all the time.
2. Looks or personality?
Personality ... with one exception: He has to have a great smile.
3. If your guy girl cheated on you, what would you do about it?
I'd say adios. I'm not looking for another serious relationship so I wouldn't go through the emotional turmoil involved in discussing it.
4. Would you date someone just because they're popular?
"just because?" No, but it helps.
5. If your parents disapproved of your relationship, what would you do?
Now? Nothing. If she doesn't like him, too bad.

From The Daily Dirt

Something cool happened ...

... in church last night. Usually people leave church before the priest leaves the altar. Or they leave as he's walking up the aisle. Well, last night the closing song was "Let There Be Peace on Earth." Everyone stayed to sing. The priest was already out the door and people were still inside the church singing the second verse! It's kind of a miracle, really.

From Spark:

Who is your best friend? Your most trusted confidant, your most reliable advisor, your most honest critic and most enthusiastic fan? Who is this person? When and how did you meet? Do you remember the moment you first realized he or she had become someone you could most intimately trust?

Good topic! I don't know if he even knows he's my best friend but he is. We've known each other for 30 years; since high school. I've always considered us friends but we've gotten much closer in the past year or so. Actually, we started getting closer a few years ago, but I got scared and ran away. I wasn't sure if I could seperate the "high school crush" feelings from the adult feelings of a strong friendship. Anyway, when we were in high school he always pushed me to do/be better than I thought I could. He's still brutally honest with me, and still pushes me to do my best. He edited my second book for me & had no problem telling me if something didn't make sense, or just downright sucked. But he always told me when I wrote something good. At one point when he told me the chapters he just read were the best I'd ever written I was beside myself with joy because I knew he wouldn't just say that to make me feel good. When my first book came out I was really nervous about him reading it because I knew he'd give me an honest appraisal. In fact, I didn't even believe it was good until he told me he liked it. ... OK. Onto when did I realize ...? A few years ago during my midlife crisis/nervous breakdown he was one of the reasons I was a mess. As I said, I wasn't sure I could seperate the feelings, and I had too many other things going on that were confusing me. I was afraid of doing/saying something that would irreparably damage our friendship, so I didn't e-mail him for a long time; almost a year. (Makes sense, doesn't it? Told ya, nervous breakdown.) We had been e-mailing several times a week. But in January 2003 I needed to tell him my book was being published. The experience wouldn't have been complete without him. Slowly, we got back to e-mailing regularly. Now, barring unusual circumstances, we e-mail each other daily. I really look forward to that. He says he does, too. We talk about everything almost everything. And it's wonderful. We haven't seen each other in six years but he'll be here soon and we're going out to dinner in 11 days. (11 days! Holy shit! OMG!!) So, what did I mean by the aforementioned "almost everything?" Well, there's one thing I want to say but can't because I'm afraid it would be taken the wrong way. But, seeing as how he knows me so well (or at least he thinks he does; I'm always surprising him with things from my lurid past), I would guess he knows without me actually having to say it. I hope he does anyway.

For You to Notice ...

I wish I'd written this, but Dashboard Confessional beat me to it.


I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
where I would impress you
with every single word I said.
Would come out insightful, or brave, or smooth, or charming
and you'd want to call me..
And I would be there every time
you'd need me
I'd be there every time...


But for now I'll look so longingly
waiting...
For you to want me, for you need me, for you to notice me
