Thanks for the source of the memory foam bathmat. The next time I’m in a BB&B or a Target I’ll look for it. Those chef mats are waaay out of my price range, but I’m glad to know they exist. Thanks!
Bet, did you know that Paul Williams can be heard in a song on the new Daft Punk album? I’m not sure if they just sampled him or if it’s just a cover of one of his old songs, but it’s pretty cool (though the beginning is a little annoying): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfH3erWacsQ
Crap. My browser crashed and I lost everything I typed. This is all I can remember. Probably for the best! 😉
I confess. I am the closet Paul Williams fan. Actually, I didn’t know I was closet, and I didn’t know I was a Paul Williams fan. I AM a Bugsy Malone fan, however, and have been since I was a little girl. It wasn’t until I was watching the Muppet Movie again last week (thanks to discussion on this podcast!) and I said to myself….”Hmmm, I like this music. Who does it?” that I realized Paul Williams did the soundtrack. So then I IMDb’ed Paul Williams and found out that in addition to Bugsy and Muppets, he did Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas! I am a LOUD and PROUD Emmet Otter fan! So I guess Paul Williams is my dude! I suppose I’ll have to watch the documentary.
Google me this, ladies: What’s the difference between a vulture and a buzzard? And why do my google questions always have to do with birds?
Also. A Watch Your Phraseology: cold feet.
Oh, and Stennie: I got “Sledgehammer” right away. 🙂
P.S. I love that little Westie’s waggy tail. What a good boy.
