Because apparently I’m way behind the technical blogger curve and this “video” thing is way beyond my meager abilities. After two computers and five tries, I think this is at least workable.

Ahem.

What am I talking about? Liz over at This Full House has done a vlog (video blog, get it?) about how we say certain words. I thought it looked like fun so I tried it. If I look strange (stranger than usual) it’s because I had to sit a certain way to get the camera and light combination so that you could see and hear me )

So if I can do THIS step right, my video should be on this post. Somewhere.

Wrap that rascal

Heard this today, damn fine music.

It feels like ages since you lay down in my arms
See no good reason still I’m tangled in your charms
My God you’re smiling
You catch my eyes
My heart is pounding deep inside
Thought I was doing fine
About to get you off my mind
I see you face and then I’m wrapped
Around your pretty little finger again

This is too important not to share. I’ve been reading this guy for about five years; he knows what he’s talking about (look up “Matt Simmons” if you like) and he makes a lot of sense in this video clip.
