Netflix movie of the day: Willard
... so who do I find in my kitchen when I get home from Karaoke, sifting through my garbage in the dark? Why, a tiny, scraggly, mangy, white and brown house mouse.
Picture it: here comes Stephen, up the steps two at a time, singing You're Just Too Marvelous in a key that is not entirely unlike one found in human music, and he opens the door on what appears, in the poor light from the streetlamp, to be a tiny gerbil sampling leftover chinese food beside the garbage bin. A moment is shared.
"you don't live here... do you?" he asks the mouse.
"oh, no!" says the mouse, "I was just..... just, um...... leaving. Bye."
He crawled up beneath the dishwasher. Apparently, there's a little batcave entrance I never noticed just behind the wainscoting that he's using. I plugged it up with a can of sweet corn and a Yellow Pages.
meanwhile, speaking of karaoke and being totally trashed, how can it be that there are 7 different versions of Bobby Darin's Mack the Knife, none of them labelled any differently than the others, but not a single solitary version of I'm Beginning To See The Light? Honestly.
And if you were going to pick a Righteous Brothers song to sing at a Karaoke Bar, would you choose Unchained Melody, or You've Lost That Loving Feeling?
Because I say Top Gun, and she says Ghost. And it almost got bloody.

meta:
most people pick Unchained Melody because they think they can sing, but they can't, and You've Lost That Loving Feeling is much easier to sing. so I would pick that. I analyze things too much. that's why no one invites me to do karaoke anymore.
