Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.
1) This video begins outside a convenience store with a sign advertising beer, produce, lotto and an ATM. Will you buy beer, produce or a lotto ticket this weekend? Will you visit an ATM? I must remember to pick up a lottery ticket, as winning the lottery is my retirement plan. I went to the grocery store and ATM on Friday afternoon.
2) As the video progresses, fountain drinks and donuts are consumed. When you stop for a snack during a road trip, what do you usually grab? Coke and chips.
3) The lyrics reference "a river of champagne." When did you last enjoy a spot of the bubbly? About two weeks ago, I had a thimbleful of the stuff at a work celebration. I woke up with a headache! From less than half a glass! So I don't intend to drink it ever again.
4) The end of the video features sci-fi/horror images. Is that a genre you enjoy? If not, what kind of books do you read most often? I simply don't get sci-fi or horror or fantasy. The just feel like such an incredible waste of time. Lately I've been reading a lot of non-fiction (though I have chick lit in my purse right now).
5) The trio that makes up The Dreamers are dyed-in-the-wool New Yorkers. If you could live in any city or village in the world, would you move or stay right where you are? I'd stay in Chicagoland, because, you know ...

6) The Dreamers describe themselves as "impractical." What about you? Do you consider yourself practical or impractical? A cursory review of my checkbook would reveal me to be impractical.
7) They also won't "listen to those who doubt" them. Sometimes we find the ones who doubt us most are ourselves. What about you? Are you confident, or do you suffer from self doubt? I'm my own toughest critic.
8) Do you often remember your dreams? No.
9) Random question: Would you rather get $100 today, or $250 on this date a year from now? $100 today. Who knows if we'll be here a year from now?
Ahhhhhhh Chicago would be an amazing destination. My cousin's daughter used to live on Lake Shore Drive and I would go to visit, just to sit in the easy chair and watch the world from the 14th floor. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteOn a less amazing note, I have Broadcastify on my phone, and listen to the scanner in Chicago every night.
I think I would probably stay in when the sun went down. But oh what an amazing place!
Last week I was flying into Chicago on my journey to see my son and we flew over Wrigley Field. It was filled with all kinds of trucks getting ready for the season to start. They must have been hauling to get it done in time because Wrigley looked like it was in dire need of some help. They had all kinds of stuff going on. I should have pulled out my camera.
ReplyDeleteToday we are on that nasty winter weather line that is creating havoc on my day and my restaurant. It's spring though...
I'm so envious that The Season starts this week--we're nowhere near spring here in the Great White North. :(
ReplyDeleteYes #9 we think alike. As for fantasy, there are good life lessons in fantasy. Nothing shows off good versus evil like Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, and it does it in a way that allows you to remove yourself from this world and envision another.
ReplyDeleteWe apparently have the same financial advisor. ;) I've been on a bit of a non-fiction kick myself. Couldn't you be a snowbird? They don't play baseball in the winter.
