On a totally different note

I love this song...

Listening to

Natasha Bedingfield's:

Pocketful of Sunshine--catchy, stays in your head.

Unwritten (the video features a climbing book) :) [I like this one much better than the one in which she is in the elevator.]

Both of the above have embedding disabled, but I've provided links to the videos.

and finally, before sleep, 'Carolan's Dream' on Celtic harp, arranged and played by Mark Harmer:



Very nice. Whilst on his channel, I found this extract of 'The Epic of Gilgamesh' accompanied by a reconstruction of the Lyre of Ur, destroyed in looting of the Baghad museum, but reconstructed using the same types of materials and tuning according to pipes found in the same grave. It has an almost electronic sound, I think. Anyway, as a student of history, it caught my eye, and I had to include it on the 'odd factor' as well. It's certainly not your average YouTube video. :)

Sleepy, good night

You Are a Brownie

Decadent and intense, you aren't for the weakhearted. Those who can deal with your strong flavor find out how sweet you really are.

What Dessert Are You Most Like?

Your 2006 Summer Anthem Is

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield "No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins"

What's Your 2006 Summer Anthem?

(I love this song...here is one video [the climbing book], and another [the elevator version]

Mind you, I've never forgiven her for the whole hyperbole/'hyperbowl' thing in These Words (I don't care for the song at all, for that matter. I thought maybe the pronunciation was just a British thing, since she was born in London of New Zealander paretns, but I don't think so--at least I can't find any trace online about it. Still, it was possiblilty. Let's face it, it is our mother tongue, but they also pronounce 'Regina' (should be Re-g[hard g]ee-na in Latin) to rhyme with vagina.)
