I HEAR THE CLOCK TICK AND I THINK OF YOU

Honestly -- what could make me happier than Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper? 

Pretty much nothing.

A few of my fav lines.....

Then you say go slow, I fall behind.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me.

If you fall I will catch you.  I will be waiting.

The drum beats out of time.

Time after time.


SERIOUSLY.  How awesome is this song?

I know that Libby will weigh in with her love of Cyndi...

Just in case you are wiki-nut like me..... here is the wiki link on the song....

THE PARAMOUNT PICTURE

To celebrate 100 years of Paramount Pictures, Vanity Fair has gathered 116 of "someone's choice?" of Hollywood's finest.
Left side, at the right of the staircase, Molly Ringwald and Jon Cryer side by side.
That makes this blog happy.

I GUESS I JUST DON'T GET IT, NEVER HAVE AND PROBABLY NEVER WILL.

Bret Michaels???
I just do not get his appeal.
And POISON???
WTF???
This is not a topic I plan on reading up on, in effort to discover what I am missing.

IT'S ALL IN THE COMMENTS SECTION PARKER

The following is my favorite comment from this article on Madge-Ho.
Madonna is the Norma Desmond of the singing world.
“Mr. Demille, I’m Ready for My Close-Up.”
“Oh, wake up, Norma, you'd be killing yourself to an empty house. The audience left twenty years ago.”

The list of other comments are equally as sharp, somewhat crude but IMO right on the money.

MAYBE ALL THE PLASTIC SURGERY HAS LEFT HER WITHOUT TEAR DUCTS?

Kidman dry-eyed as 'Paperboy' gets standing ovation at Cannes; co-star Efron brought to tears

I do think she looks stunning although I question her high beams sticking out of the dress.
I can't see the weather being that cold at Cannes.
J Lo has a nipple tweeker for her videos
...seriously...
maybe Ol' Shark Eyes has one on staff too.

WELCOME BACK DEAR FRIEND

Libby and I are both from Alanis' hometown.
We both have "property" close to where Alanis' parents are rumoured to live.
Long before Adele ever gave me goosebumps..... Ms Alanis Morissette was looking into my heart and I believe, living in my brain. 

I was DELIGHTED to hear that Alanis had a new album (is that still the word for it?) coming out.  The first single Guardian (as recorded on the Ellen show) lives up to my high, high expectations of the woman I believe to be one of the best songwriters in the world.



Study #1: You Ought to Know

Many of you will understand the heartbreak of these lyrics.... and really, we have all thought them.

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
You can watch it here.... intro'd by ELLEN again !!!!!!



Study #2: Uninvited

Just listen.  You will have goosebumps soon enough. 



Study #3: Hands Clean

The updated version of Don't Stand So Close to Me by the Police.

Without question.

Way to stick it to pervy manager.

From wiki:
She (Alanis) reportedly said in an interview to US Weekly that the song is about an affair she had with a man when she was 14.

Of course no discussion of Ms Alanis Morissette would be complete without mention of the launch pad of her illustrious career...... You Can't do That on Television.

Welcome back my friend.

IT'S LIKE SHE HAS ESPN OR SOMETHING.

As soon as I read Libby's blog referencing the Mean Girls I turned on the tv and what was on..... Mean Girls.... with one of my favourite lines...

"It's like I have ESPN or something".

Hocus pocus!!!!!!

BTW -- paging Lindsay Lohan, paging sane Lindsay Lohan.  We miss you.

And now I will be tuning into one of my fav non-John Hughes movies.... The Fugitive.

Here is the greatest scene from The Fugitive....

The fugitive's name is Dr Richard Kimball.

I would still be game for a big dirty throw down with Tommy Lee Jones.  Any time.  Any place.
