I discovered I can do a great Yoda impression. SH, don't laugh.
This is a milestone for me, as I've never been able to do impressions very well of anyone really before.

I want to just let everyone know.

These songs are all haunting in some way. good and or bad ways...

1.I can't remember ever hearing a more haunting tune than 'german war' played on the banjo by Tony Trishkatta.

2.Then again... I was haunted whenever I heard the theme from 'Requiem For A Dream' played. Yea, Maybe a little less haunted, and more.... disturbed is more like it.
The whole song has like maybe, three notes and every time I hear that song, I knew something deranged is about to happen.

3.Then there's good haunting songs like, the theme to 'The Truman Show, that makes me tear up every time. Especially at the end when he walks up the stairs and I won't spoil the ending of a good movie in case people haven't seen it.

4.And there's the theme to 'Anna and the King that makes me tear up when the lovers are decapitated. Whatever, just go watch it alone, you'll see what i'm talking about.

5.The theme to 'Shinler's List, that I can't eat for a couple days after hearing.

6.The song In Paradisum that plays in the background of many films. I cheated and looked it up. Here's the films it's played through: results from Wikpedia:
# The Year of Awakening (1991) (Année de l'éveil, L') Introitus
# Copycat (film) (1995) In Paradisum
# Lord of Illusions (1995) In Paradisum
# The Thin Red Line (1998 movie) In Paradisum
# The Lost Son (1999)
# American Beauty (film) (1999) In Paradisum
# Honest (2000) Pie Jesu
# The Legend Of Bagger Vance (2000) In Paradisum
# S1m0ne (2002) In Paradisum & Pie Jesu
# 28 Days Later (2002) In Paradisum
# A Good Woman (2004) Pie Jesu
# Broken Flowers (2005) Pie Jesu
# Palais Royal! (2005)

7.The songs from 'The Pianist.

8.Don't laugh, this song is from a cartoon film 'Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol- 'A Hand For Each Hand' That sad, sad song, always gripped my heart.

9.All the music from 'Peter and the Wolfe is Amazingly Haunting in a good way.

10. The music in Disney's Robinhood ...'Ever y toooown has it's up's and downs, sometimes up's out number the downs but not in Nottingham.


11. The music from the film, La vita è bella (1997) Such a great film!!!

I can think of a few more but not the films their from...

Does anyone else notice how many ads on every social networking site are of people's guts? Like that is really weird! It IS such a strange image!!!

Any time I log on to one of my social networking sites there's a huge ad of some one's stomach taking up half the page! Is anyone else like, weirded out by that?! Don't get me wrong, I think I can always use a good work out all the time, but these ads are really beginning to be too much! Come OFF IT already!

I maintain it is an ability to be able to sit and stair for hours.
I can be driving long distances, drift off to sleep, wake up and I'm in a new place.
I hear an orchestra, my own, tuning and waiting for my signal to begin.
I can write, sing a melody, with absolute ease, poetry, and perfection.
I can people-watch and compose their song.
For the man with the backpack, from a high note, a thinking, racing melody begins, slows then stops. For the woman listening with friends, piano fluting in a minor key, then up and down the chords one finger laying down at a time.
Oh how I miss the songs from the piano. I could whisper then SHOUT the next, while playing my mood in soothe or pounding measures, the blues in fumbled gestures,no man can resist, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Mozart, Scriabin, Scarlatti, Ellington, Goodman, Monk, Gillispie, Davis, Parker, Baker, Armstrong, Dorsey,Wilson, Coltrane, Prima, ....ooohhh....I miss my piano!

I grew up listening to Prairie Home Companion, and Car Talk on the Radio. The voices of the Tappet Brothers and Keillor are as familiar as any family friend or relative whose voice I'd recognize without looking at the caller ID.
Not that Garrison Keillor calls my phone, but that is a perfect example of his voice recognition.
I can hear him narrating my life, noting the details of the neo vintage furniture in my apartment, all five senses included (I've always kind of thought his description of the world around him in story,would be similar to that of an autistic person, without the applause or the advantage of thinking it was cozy,worth explaining, or even funny) painting a perfect picture of my neighbourhood, a brief summary of my life in two long sentences. And even the familiar audience applause near the end.
I can almost hear him, standing in my kitchen speaking away.. riding in the back seat of my car, in line behind me at the grocery store, narrating me showering, explaining my phone conversation and relationship with my mother to a studio audience. He's in my living room now.. speaking, almost announcing things that are around him. I've tuned him out, I'm busy typing, watching tv, listening to Pandora's box, and glancing at the scarf i'm knitting, noting the shape it is taking and what pattern i will strategically reverse to finish it, as identically as its counter part.

I enjoy relaxing and listening to his show so why can't i stand him following me around? I want to blind fold him, put ear plugs in his ears, put gum in his mouth, but i fear that reducing his senses to himself would somehow kill him. Forcing him to narrate himself to death.
That would be awful, and his audience would shame me. No, I enjoy his radio banter, his convenient songs of wallowing in human moments, he's a talking Kodak picture from a family album. He looks the way he sounds. I've read a few of his books I even cheered and clapped at the end. It seemed appropriate for all the times he made me realize and laugh at something irrelevant.

Oh God! Am i falling for him? I hate him and yet I don't want to see him suffer. No, no, no, no nnnononon.
I'm just crazy.

phew,
Suzy
