things that make you go hmmm

so last night i was a bit upset. health care makes me upset. BUT i went to bed on timeish (by 1030) and didn't wake up once. i was laying in bed this morning thinking "i wonder when my alarm will go off" - assuming it was 5 am again. i opened my eyes and thought "oh no. its waaay too bright in here." sure enough, it was 6:35, 35 minutes after my alarm should've gone off. and i know why it happened. i hard boiled eggs last night and set my timer for 6pm so i would know when to stop the boiling water. i just turned on a 6pm alarm again. oops. but now i'm questioning the alcohol thing - i had a glass of wine and slept through the night!

anyway, i thought i would take a different turn for today. i thought i would share with you things that i like and make me happy. i mentioned yesterday that i dont like not remembering things. the other day, i was trying to remember this tv show that i used to LOVE that was on tv when i would get home from school. i finally figured it out: just the 10 of us. and it was on after or before my 2 dads, which i found in this article today, which was funny - about tv shows that were really about gay people. i wonder if any of that is true. what do you think? were danny and the hockey guy really gay on full house?

this blooper reel made me smile - its easy for me to imagine that in the time of black and white movies, the actors were perfect and genteel and never swore. isn't that a fun image to have? but i found one thing curious, it says that the fresh prince theme song wasn't the first blooper reel. that was a blooper reel?

i checked it out online and was shocked to discover that no, it wasn't a blooper reel (that i can tell) and it turns out there is a LONGER version than the one i knew!
i am so shocked and hurt and betrayed by nbc. fresh prince was on nbc, right? i have thought for years that i knew the whole theme song and am just now discovering that i didn't. damn that. other theme songs i know: teenage mutant ninja turtles (heroes in a half shell - turtle power!), ... damn! i cant think of another one. i'm sure there are ones, though. what theme songs can you sing? oh, i guess i can sing cheers. where everybody knows your name. what else?

i do love music, its true. i have over 10,000 items in my itunes music library. a few minutes ago, i was listening to bill withers (aint no sunshine, lean on me, just the two of us) and now i am listening to the new kesha cd, which i kinda like. about half of its really good and half of its really juvenile. i read this article about the top cds of 2009 and i only have TWO of the 20+ cds on it (the XX and alicia keys). my brothers will be happy to see that regina spektor was #1. what cds do you have that you can recommend from 2009?

in that vain, this article is about the top cds of the decade. i have quite a few more of those, but still not even 10%. crazy! i always think i'm pretty up-to-date on music. granted, this is a guy who likes more folksy/country/indie music. but the list is still cool. what is your favorite cd from the naughts?

another thing that makes me happy is seeing really creative things like this:

isn't that cool? someone must've sent that to me because i just had a youtube link saved to watch. if it was you, let me know and i'll h/t you.
