sick and tired

Published on 21 October 2008 in Awesome and Garbage. 1 Comment

About 10 years ago, while on my mission, I heard a song by The Cardigans that I really liked (not to mention that I was already in love with Nina Persson’s voice). But by the time I returned home, I couldn’t remember the name of it, or exactly what it sounded like to be able to find it. All I could remember was that it was a live version of a song from one of their singles released in the late 90s, that it had a fast tempo, and that it had the lyrics “har har har” somewhere in the song.

I had been home for about 2 years, when I found a song titled “Sick & Tired” off their Emmerdale album; I thought sounded like it might be the song I was looking for, but since it didn’t have the har har har lyrics in it, I ended up deciding it wasn’t it, and gave up looking for the song.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to look again and found a pretty good discography listing on their official website. When I saw the following CD, I realized that I was retarded, and that the har har har lyrics were likely only in the live version:

I realize this is the wrong live performance (this one says it’s off the “Erase/Rewind” single; though even that’s probably wrong, and it should be listed as being from the “Rewind-Live” single), but I still can’t find the recording from the “My Favourite Game CD 1″ single, and this example is good enough.

best show ever

I was 29 years, 24 days, 6 hours, and 16 minutes old when Becky told me that I’d just missed a show she thought I’d really like. I went to abc.com that same night, and watched “Pie-Lette”, the pilot to Pushing Daisies. I would have one more thing to say about the show, but I’ve already said it.

Oh, and if you haven’t seen the show, I’d highly recommend you watch at least the pilot before ABC shows the season 2 premiere on Wednesday at 8:00 pm.

watching the wiggles

The other day I came home from work, and immediately Ashton came up to me and started saying, “Watch the wiggles,” over and over. It took me a minute, but I finally asked him what was up. He dragged me over to the kitchen sink, and there, fully submerged, was his Video Now player with a Wiggles disc inside. I quickly shut it off and pulled the batteries out. A couple days later, we tried playing it again and it worked just fine. I’m surprised a crappy player we got for $12 was able to keep working after that; I can’t imagine that it’s waterproof since I had to drain the water from it.

where is the cow?

This morning, I found my 2 year old son, Ashton, holding my cell phone singing, “where is the cow?” over and over. It took me a second, but then I remembered my alarm is set to the song from this cartoon:
