For Early Risers Who Wish It Could Be Morning All Day

Keytar Fan Club

By

In these uncertain times, what “keytar” fan among us can’t benefit from a little Funkytown.

Ah… how I long for those carefree 1980s, when all we had to worry about was disco-deprivation-syndrome and an impending “nuclear winter.”

The Amazing Mr. Kite

By

We’ve all done this: We’re watching a movie and we ask ourselves, “Where have I seen this actor?”

Viewing an interesting BBC WWII docudrama, while trying to burn off calories on an exercise bike, I wondered where I had seen (or rather heard) the lead actor, Eddie Izzard. But then, just as I was breathlessly passing the last of my Tour de France competitors, I remembered. He was, of course, the amazing Mr. Kite from the Beatles tribute movie, Across the Universe.

If you have not seen it, below is a bizarre (though entertaining) 3-minute clip from movie.

WARNING: This video contains “Hippies.”

We watched Hector and the Search for Happiness last evening and discovered Vancouver musician Dan Mangan (and this song).

Sittin’ On A Log Off The Bay

(see girl with pink cap, lower-mid photo)

Sittin in the morning sun,
We’ll be sittin’ when the evening come,
Watching the ships roll in,
And we’ll watch ’em roll away again, yeah,
We’re sittin’ on a log off the bay,
Watching the tide roll away, ouh,
We’re just sittin’ on a log off the bay,
Wasting time.

Or something like that.

Blissfully Unaware

Out for an autumn walk, blissfully unaware an asteroid was hurtling towards us today. Had we known our chance of survival was only 99.59%, we may have donned protective hard hats.
