A NOVEL BEGINNING

Well, you've read the notes, the notes were novel and had a beginning, and now it is time for you to post until the novel cows come home - they're currently nibbling on a square with fruity paste.

Topic of the Day...

In my CD player at work (when I get there in the morning), even though it's after Christmas:  "The Ultimate Christmas Collection" by The Brian Setzer Orchestra, The Manhattan Transfer's "An Acapella Christmas" (that's how it's spelled on the CD..."Acapella"), The Manhattan Transfer's "The Christmas Concert" (CD that I made from the DVD) and the original cast recording to The Glorious Ones by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

And since my New Year's Resolution (sort of) was to get more sleep...I must get more sleep. 

Good night, BK and guests.

XANTHOUS is only available over the internet, at selected adult sites.  Borders and Blockbuster only carry RANTHOUS and PG-13ANTHOUS, thanks to the yellow streaks running down their backs.

Probably because der B and I both spent so much time (individually) watching the bonus material on the BD Casino Royale, I've been re-viewing the bonus stuff on the earlier Bond Special Edition DVDs.  So far, I've finished through On Her Majesty's Secret Service.  Next up will be Diamonds Are Forever.

I have no idea what I'll be listening to at work today, or if I'll even have time.

Friday.....

TOD:

DVD - The Mini Skirt Mob starring Diane McBain and the Bad Seed Herself Miss Patty McCormick.  The ending has Ms McBain accidentally putting her Triumph motorcycle into reverse gear and driving herself off a cliff.  I did not know that motorcycles had a reverse gear....but perhaps Triumph motorcycles do.

Thought I'd share (and also I wanted it on the permanent internet site that is HHW  :) ) the Colander Guy parody in its current state.  A dear friend said that if I was going to put a verse that it's about Food network's Mario Batali, i should just totally commit to the concept instead of just mentioning Batali in the verse, so...



COLANDER GUY (LOVE SONG TO MARIO BATALI)
Parody lyric by Fred Landau
(Parody of “Calendar Girl” by Neil Sedaka & Howard Greenfield)
 

I love, I love, I love my colander guy
Yeah, my colander guy
I love Batali, he’s my colander guy
Every single day that we eat
 
[1st chorus]
 
Fusilli
I'm so silly with love
 
Angel hair
He comes from heaven above
 
Cavatelli
I tell ya I covet that guy
 
Al dente
And I’m firmly gonna tell you why
 
Yeah, yeah
That pasta and pan
I love, I love Batali, he’s my colander man
Every day, every way
That I eat
 
 




[2nd chorus]

Elbow
I pray that he’ll be my beau
 
Marinara
He’s the one I wanna marry-oh
 
Buckwheat
Yeah, we’ll be buckin' a trend
 
Corkscrew
Pop a cork ‘cause it’ll never end
 
Yeah, yeah

The pasta we’ll drain!

That Mario Batali, he’s my colander swain
Every day, every way
That we eat



[Possible instrumental, followed by:

Yeah, yeah
That pasta is why
That Mario Batali is my colander guy
Every day, every way
That I eat]







[3rd chorus]

Farfalle
You know I wouldn't fall so far
 
Lasagna
But his noodles are the best there are
 
Orecchiette
He’s all ears and he never gets bored
 
Buitoni
He a beaut and he deserves an award
 
 
Yeah, yeah,
For my fav-rite food
I love I love Batali, he’s my colander dude
Every day, every way
That we eat
 
 
I love, I love, I love my colander guy
Yeah, sweet colander guy
I love Batali, he’s my colander guy
Yeah, sweet colander guy…

And in case anyone was wondering, there really is a Mario Batali Colander.  I have to switch my 2008 colander for a 2009 colander, though.

Friday morning greetings!  We had another late night last night, watching the Cincinnati Bearcats lose the Orange Bowl - the turnovers killed 'em.
