Right In Time
by Lucinda Williams

Not a day goes by I don't think about you
You left your mark on me it's permanent a tattoo
Pierce the skin and the blood runs through

Oh my baby
The way you move it's right in time
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me

I stand over the stove in the kitchen
Watch the water boil and I listen
Turn off the television

Oh my baby
The way you move it's right in time
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me

I take off my watch and my earrings
My bracelets and everything
Lie on my back and moan at the ceiling

Oh my baby

Think about you and that long ride
I bite my nails I get weak inside
Reach over and turn off the light

Oh my baby
The way you move it's right in time
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me
The way you move it's right in time
The way you move it's right in time
It's right in time with me

Michael Jackson fans will appreciate this:

Much thanks to Johndavid for providing it. His remark, "I love that they let the tranny girl wear clothes." (He means street clothes since they're all prisoners.)

Get Fuzzy

I love Satchel. He's such a sweetheart and I am so very, very happy that his seeds are growing. Bucky had better not do anything to hurt his plants!

Ok. Last one before I go to bed. Promise. You only have to watch the first 30 seconds or so of this video to see the entrance this drag queen makes. In three words: OH EM GEE!

Hat Tip: Joe. My. God.

Since I'm still up, I'm still counting it as YouTube Wednesday. There's that and the fact that the Bookwork sent me two new videos that are also fun:

It's catchy.

Thanks to the Bookworm for this one.

I love the song "Supersonic "by JJ Fad, but when I tell people about JJ Fad, they always say they've never heard of them.

LIES.

You know that if you were in the roller skatin' rink in the 80's, then you have heard JJ Fad.

First of all, you've heard "Supersonic."

Ok, but they have another good song, too, "The Cars that Go Boom."

Of course, I'm sure many of you are still scratching your head and lying to yourself about how pervasive JJ Fad is in your life.

Here's a couple of other allusions:

- Fergie remade "Supersonic" into that song "Fergalicious."

- Missy Elliot references JJ Fad in her song "Gossip Folks." She says, "You think I ain't know y'all broke-down Milli Vanilli JJ Fad wannabes ain't over here gossipin' bout me?"

Update: I just realized that the video doesn't contain the line I reference above. You need the album version to hear it, I guess.

- Gwen Stefani makes reference to "The Cars that Go Boom" in her song "Wind It Up" She says, "I guess that they are slow, so they should leave the room/ This beat is for the clubs, and cars that go--"

Due to some events last night, I'm going to have to proclaim this loudly for all the world to see and hear. I don't care if I never get to have sex with a man ever again.

I do NOT like musicals.

There. I said it. There's no taking it back.

Everyone tells me I just need to see a good one and then maybe I'll like it and I'll admit that I haven't seen a "good" one because I'm too cheap to shell out hella big bucks to see something I think I won't like. But I have seen a couple and I haven't thought they were worth the money.

So, what happened last night?

My friends took me to a piano bar.

I don't like musicals, so I don't know the words to most of the songs they played. I don't actually WANT to know the words because I don't LIKE them anyway.

And yesterday I got to try out an iPhone. And I still don't have one.

So, it seems appropriate that they would make a big musical number out of wanting an iPhone.

Hat tip: Joe. My. God.

1 You're right, Flibby. Musicals lack any sort of depth. They are silly and pointless. And at the end of them...you come to realize that not much happened...there's hardly ever a climax!

2 I don't reject the format entirely. I mean, it seems theoretically possible to have a musical that is completely satisfying as a work of art. I mean, I really love the movie version of Chicago and Moulin Rouge. Mary Poppins is a great movie, too.

So, it seems like these things could be set to stage with at least as much gratification.

But I don't like theater very much in itself. Theater appeals to people in large part due to the fact that it is live. It's analog. And that is precisely what I don't like about it. Every time you go see it, it will be slightly different.

Also, you can't get very close to a theater production.

Usually, when I'm at a theater production, I find myself paying a lot of attention to the stage and lighting design rather than the performance itself. It's like real-life gets in the way of me enjoying it.

Add spontaneous singing, dancing, and overwrought emotion and it's a recipe for disaster for me.

3 You don't care if you never have...What!? So have you gone straight?

In all seriousness, did you mean to include musical films too? I actually like a few musical films. But I've never watched a musical on stage, or have any interest in doing so.

4 While it seems to happen in waves, the next time I get free tickets to a GOOD musical, you're first on my list to invite so you can say you've experienced it. But if you don't like musical theatre, no matter what the price, you're not going to leave the theatre wanting to tap dance down the street or serenade someone.

The idea behind bursting into song and dance is that your emotions are so high (whether good or bad), and just words can't express how you feel, so you have to take it to the next level (and there just happens to be an orchestra on standby to help you out with that). People who love the theatre can believe it; others think it's a load of dung. To each his own.

But as a "semi-retired" performer I will be the first to tell you -- I'd rather gnaw off my feet and run a marathan with the bloody stumps I would have for legs than go to a piano bar! You deserve a medal of honor for suffering through that one.

I went and got my hairs did this afternoon and it turns out that my hair dude bought an iPhone and he let me play with it.

It's Sooooper cool.

The data connection is pretty slow, but it's faster than my friend's old blackberry -- although that doesn't say much because I think her blackberry is effed.

I didn't have much trouble typing on it even though I had fat fingers. I actually had trouble getting used to simply tapping and not pressing on the screen.

It's LITTLE. It's a lot smaller than I expected and I was afraid I was going to drop it.

All in all, I was impressed and am excited to see how they improve it for the second generation and get one in January.

It's American Independence Day, y'all!

Go watch some fireworks, eat some hamburgers, and celebrate the beginning of the freest country in the history of the world.

I'm subscribed to a daily email list that sends out recommendations for all kinds of things. It's called Thrillist and it's pretty damn cool.

Well, today's email was about something so cool I had to blog it: stainless steel wallets.

Founded by a Cooper Union grad, S/S is a DUMBO accessories/tchotske shop carrying everything from titanium cufflinks to 19th Century reprints like Full Revelations of a Professional Rat Catcher (or "Great Exterminations"). Most impressive, however, are their wallets, made from woven, industrial grade steel -- a critical component in petroleum refining, aerospace technology, and other applications far more grueling than withstanding your sweating buttocks. Besides being durable, the wallets are also flexible, and as soft as silk's cousin, Reginald VelJohnson. Aesthetic options include smooth or textured steel, and a steel/leather combo, all of which're available in driving, bifold, and, for the man who fears elevator stabbings, breast pocket versions.

Badass, right?

I checked out the site, StewartStand.com, and found that the wallets run about $95. That's a little steep but when you think about the additional security the wallet provides by way of acting as body armor, I think it's worth it, don't you?
