OK -- must share --
I just saw this film called - Once tonight - at an old
local theatre here in G'boro (Greensboro) and I'm blown
away and smitten --- by this sweet little film --
the soundtrack is awesome -- the hot Irish singer/musician
named Glen Hansard -- is fine -- (he could give G a bit of a rival
at least - I think so... hee hee) and he and the girl singer/musician
Marketa Irglova - are so cute together & both so talented...
this film won 2007 Spirit Award -- I think bio said
plus the couple's duet song called "Falling Slowly" -
won an Oscar in 2007 for best song...
geez -- what is it -- about men from the UK & Australia too --
they are sooo damn hot !!!!
this hot Irishman is 38 -- close to G's age --
(also found out - that Glen was also in another -- cool
Irish music move -- that I saw a few years back --
called the Committments - he was one of guitar players in
that band/in the film)
anywayyyyy ....
here's a youtube of Glen and Marketa singing Falling Slowly---
Falling Slowly - by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoSL_qayMCc&feature=PlayList&p=29611E7CDAF5C7EC&playnext=1&index=7
Here's a write up from Wikipedia - about this film.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_(film) hope y'all like... - I'm right smitten with it all...
I missed this film when it origianlly came out....so glad
I caught it finally...

They were a couple? I thought I saw an interview with the guy that said everyone thought they were a couple because of the movie but they weren't. They were just friends. Now I'm confused. I own the movie and it is great. Tee, I also loved The Committments. I saw it on tv the other day and almost fell out of my chair when I saw that he was in that movie too. I didn't remember him. His hair was longer and I hadn't seen it in ages. The soundtracks for both movies are great. I have them both on my IPOD.

Hi Ya - Nay & Dallas.
I wasn't sure if they had been sweeties off film or not --
but they were so cute in the film -- great chemistry --
but also both so talented too.
Hey - Dallas -- I really loved the soundtrack from Once --
all the songs were -- really creative -- their voices blend
well together -- and - had their own kind of sound/style --
was a little different than the norm -- but in a very good way -- (which I think in music can be hard to do --
even when an artist tries to make their own sound --
it's still tricky not to somehow - copy another sound that is already been used -- if nothing else -- sub-consciously--- songs/sounds get in one's head -- and ya don't even
realize it at first...
* I 'm probably not making sense -- lol - It could happen !!@#-
hee hee (I just love Judy Tenuta - the comedianne from the late 80's -- anyone remember her ??)
hey - the Committments -- was great too & awesome music -- was great seeing how the band culminated --etc..
I might have to get both those movies & soundtracks --
eventually... would be good to have...

No, they were definitely a couple. I remember reading it in the reviews. Here are some links:

Off to a house auction. No, I'm not buying, just observing. Still a commitment-phobe!
A whole can, DK?

Really? Was that dinner? If so, I will begin to worry. Or send food in the mail.
Just watched Scorsese's "Shine a Light" rockumentary of the Stones. It just confirmed why I am not a fan. That said, Marty is a high maintenance fellow. Why hasn't anyone ever told Jagger he dances like there are green ants in his jocks??
It got me to thinking though about my musical preferences. Many years ago, I was switched on to blues & soul - John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Aretha, Otis Redding, Lou Rawls.
This song may even be Mr Butler's theme song. What do you think?

OMG!! If Butler started singing this song, shaking his head and cheeks crazily while he sang "Man" -- I would laugh my ass off. That would be HYSTERICAL!!!

I love the blues. Glad you liked it too.
So can't you see a Butler strut to that?

Rafael Nadal took 4.5 hours and five sets to beat Roger Federer in the Mens Final of the Australian Open last night.
Federer was visibly distraught afterwards. He had hoped to equal Sampras' record 14 Grand Slams record.
It was a spell-binding game.

I've had a very bad and upsetting afternoon....
So I think I'll make something chocolate. Chocolate cake with chocolate icing comes to mind, but since I don't have any of that in my pantry and I don't feel like going out to buy any, it might just come down to chocolate muffins, or chocolate chip cookies.
Or maybe I'll just go raid the fridge and get the Hershey's syrup out, and pour it directly into my mouth.

Sorry to hear about your afternoon, DK. Hope the rest of your day goes well.
Hmmm...now I have a taste for chocolate ( or just looking for an excuse to have some chocolate)
