Man of the Hour

Being an avid Norah Jones fan, I bought her new album, The Fall. It is very different from anything else I've heard from her... But different is not all bad. I had it playing while I was getting ready one morning (which is the time I often get to know a new CD) and I had almost finished with it. I was trying to decide whether or not to give it a few more goes or not. There was the possibility it could grow on me, but I wasn't sure if I wanted it to....

Until I heard the last song...

Cracked me up. Sat on my floor (because every other place to sit in my room was overed in laundry) putting on my shoes laughing so hard.


It is called Man of the hour. Here is a link if you'd like to listen to it: Man of the Hour

Here are the lyrics...
It's him or me
That's what he said
But I can't choose between a vegan and a pot head
So I chose you
Because you're sweet
And you give me lots of loving and you eat meat
And that's how you became my only man of the hour

You never lie and you don't cheat
And you don't have any baggage tied to your four feet
Do I deserve
To be the one
Who will feed you breakfast, lunch and dinner and take you to the park at dawn
Will you really be
My only man of the hour

I know you'll never bring me flowers
Flowers, they will only die
And though you'll never take a shower together
I know you'll never make me cry
You'll never argue, you don't even talk
And I like the way you let me lead you when we go outside and walk
Will you really be
My only man of the hour
My only man of the hour
My only man of the hour

Harry Connick Jr.


I got sick and tired of the music currently on my nightstand and decided to parooze my old stuff and pull out something so old I couldn't remember what all was on it. I decided on Harry Connick Jr. Specifically, his album Songs I Heard. Its a funky, jazzy blend of some old favorites. It has songs from "The Sound of Music," "Mary Poppins," "Willie Wonka," "Annie" "The Wizard of Oz" and more. But I'm warning you... these are what you expect. I found myself dancing around my bedroom unable to stand still. Anyway.... you should check it out.

It is quite often that I come across a great book, song, movie, recipe, coupon, deal, etc... and I think to myself "I should tell people about this." It isn't really an update on my life, or a random thought... so it doesn't seem to go on my normal blog (which has recently been given a make-over. Check it out: http://emily85.blogspot.com/ ) So I decided to start a new blog... a place to fill up with all my most favorite things.... raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens and the like.

So check back soon for some wonderful favorites. :)
