Today’s earworm:
You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.
(
You’re Beautiful, by James Blunt)
This earworm brought to you by Oprah, who had him on her show the other day, and I canNOT get the damn song out of my brain. Luckily, I kind of like it.
(And the story behind the song: James Blunt saw his ex-girlfriend on the train with her new boyfriend, and their eyes met, and they (I quote) “Lived a lifetime in that moment”, and that’s what he wrote the song about. How come no one ever writes a song about ME?)
(Shaddup, Fred)

I’ve got nothing for today. How about some cat pics? We took ’em out and let ’em chase bubbles again yesterday.
Mister Boogers has a thought.
Sugarbutt waits for The Daddy to blow some bubbles. I swear, that cat has the longest tail EVER.
Madame Sugar sees good things for you in your future. That’ll be ten dollars, please.
“Hellew, kisskiss, how’s your Momma and them?”
