MLK Day

[cornerofmadness]

I did the sharing some of his wisdom as usual and as for the other thing happening today, all I want to say is I stepped outside and hell had frozen over, probably in response to Americans relecting the cruel orange idiot. Other than that I paid him no mind because he wants attention so he got none from me.

I got up at 7 Am to the screaming of a certain furry bastard deciding I need to eat now. I looked at my phone and the sheriff in Jackson county had put us on a don't travel unless necessary alert. I look outside and said there's like no new snow but maybe north of me (where I'd be going) was bad so I had to wait until 8 to cancel today.

I did keep my endocrinology appointment only to be there three hours because of the weirdness of the new patient there before me. Sigh. She showed me how to change the alarms on my dexcom unit. It is not going to alarm until it goes to 290 so it quits pestering the shit out of me. I asked for new meds like ozempic (which I can't tolerate) but everything isn't covered by my insurance. Everything is 900-1000 a month. I can't afford that. sigh.

Let's continue with the Music Monday and we're sharing songs that contain a certain color. Since we finished the rainbow, let's pick up colors not on the rainbow. Today we're doing grey and mostly only because of the Grateful Dead. I need to think of a new theme to take over from this. feel free to suggest one. Feel free to chime in with your favorite song(s) that follow the weekly letter. Hit me with your favs. I love hearing new music or revisiting older pieces.

For your next music themes, you could do songs about animals- cats, dogs, birds, sea creatures, etc.

Either that or a one-off for protest songs.

[cornerofmadness]

oh those are great ideas, thanks

[aien_hime]

Wow, sounds like you got quite the weather over there. Sorry about the orange idiot.

[cornerofmadness]

thanks all around.

it's going to get rough here

[suzume]

Blackbird on Gray Sky - Black Forest/Black Sea?

Medellia Of The Gray Skies - The Smashing Pumpkins

Gray Or Blue - Jaymay?

I wondered if in doing the 'not in the rainbow' colors, we'd go on to silver and gold?

[cornerofmadness]

I know smashing pumpkins but not that son, didn't know the other groups. I like Jaymay's song

there is no way I forgot...oh yeah I did. Yes silver and gold and then on to something new

[suzume]

Yeah, Jaymay's song is pretty nice.

Ha ha, well, I'm just here to remind you! :D

[cornerofmadness]

i obviously need it

[suzume]

Well, as I said~ ^^

Ouvi agora pela primeira vez Touch of Grey e gostei relativamente da canção. Escutei Earl Grey e acho que é a primeira vez que escuto algo do Fleetwood Mac que não me toca (infelizmente não gostei). Tenho impressão que já ouvi essa do The Monkees, mas não consigo me recordar se isso é real ou só ilusão da minha cabeça. Mas parabéns pelas escolhas musicais de hoje.

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed some of the new to you music. I agree. That is not Fleetwood Mac's best

[barbaratp]

Ainda prefiro Chains e Dreams ainda mais que a primeira se tornou tema de abertura de telenovela no Brasil.

[cornerofmadness]

Oh neat to it being a theme song. Chains is one of my favorites of theirs

[barbaratp]

Meu maravilhoso país chamado Brasil tem longa história de utilizar boas trilhas sonoras e músicas temas de abertura em suas telenovelas. Já tivemos Beatles, Little Richard, Fleetwood Mac, Aurora e muito mais...

[cornerofmadness]

That's cool that Brazilian tv does that. Occasionally American tv does but usually they have theme songs written for the shows (some aren't bad)

[barbaratp]

Até os programas jornalísticos utilizam músicas famosas em suas aberturas, raramente se usa temas originais.

[cornerofmadness]

Very cool (and I'm always intrigued by how many words in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are the same. Some of this I don't need the translator for. I know a little Italian but it's old and I've forgotten most)

[barbaratp]

Línguas românticas que derivam do mesmo proto sempre possuem formação parecida, italiano/espanhol/português é um exemplo. Podemos nos falar entre si online e teremos alguns momentos lost in translation, mas no fim tudo será bastante compreensível. Já foi feito uma vez no Twitter anos atrás...

[cornerofmadness]

That doesn't surprise me. One of my friends at work is from Brazil and we talk about this (while we're suffering in Welsh class) She's our international student advisor. We have a lot of Brazilian students (on our soccer team)

[barbaratp]

Nossa que legal, é bom ver pessoas estrangeiras em contato com brasileiros, não é por nada não mas eu amo quando os nossos saem daqui e espalham a cultura brasileira pelo mundo. O futebol mesmo foi criado pelos ingleses, mas nós que somos (na verdade éramos) os reis.

[cornerofmadness]

And I love meeting people from different cultures and counties. Ha, we have a lot of footballers from England here too so there is that rivalry going on in the team
