Hmmmmm.... ::sips chai:: It's early! I'm *slowly* waking up. I was so very, very good yesterday. Not only was I oh so productive (exercised, made dinner, took out the recycles, and finished up almost all of the laundry) but I actually got to bed on time! I know, it was a bit of a shock to me too. Of course, this didn't stop me from calling the boyfriend so we could talk at least a little bit before I went to sleep. He decided to go out and get an answering machine for his landline phone. Techno toys are good and lots of fun, but you do still have to have all the old-fashioned accessories for those people who prefer to call a phone that's hooked into the wall rather than a cell phone.

I had the day off on Monday so I'm all screwed up as to what day it is. I kept thinking *all* day yesterday that it was Tuesday. And I really, really want to make today Wednesday. ::sigh:: Oh well. That'll make Saturday a downright lovely surprise when it ends up rolling around a day earlier.
A Saturday that I don't have to go in to work? Where I can actually sleep in as late as I want? Hmmmmm..... ::happy place::
First I have to get through this work day. The big let down now that April 15th has and the intense deadlines and pressures of tax season have passed is making me not exactly highly motivated at the office right now. The good news though is that almost everyone is facing the same problem. Maybe I'll get some more work to do today. That'd be good.

I LOVE that New Kids On The Block Greatest Hits: The Videos. Am I the only one on the planet that didn't know there were videos for "Call It What You Want (C & C remix)" or "If You Go Away"?!?! I really, really, really, really like the video for "If You Go Away". ::happysappysigh:: And the video for "Baby I Believe In You"? It's the one from the concert video, the one with Jordan up on stage all by himself, in the white button-up shirt that's not buttoned up at all, with the fans blowing his shirt & hair all around. Hmmmm... whoever put this dvd together has my eternal thanks.

The new Hanson album, Underneath? I got the limited edition version with the DVD. It has 3 songs from their soon-to-be released full-length DVD "Underneath Acoustic Live", as well as some interesting footage of studio time and sound bites about writing and working on the album. I'm so very glad that their out and doing things again.
I enjoy mindless, pure fluff enjoyment dance/pop music a whole lot. I also like the beautiful sweet harmonies that Hanson has, and also how they combine those harmonies with good music, and lyrics that are saying something more than "that girl's so fine, I'm so horny, I just wanna dance, etc".

And now that I've babbled on and on, it's time to shower and get ready for work.

NO! You are NOT the only one! LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I can still do Freedom's rap..off by heart. My friend (the one that gave me the DVD) couldn't believe it...as soon as I saw it..I did the whole rap! hehe.

Brings back memories huh? EEEE

sorry..had to squeal with you! :D

Heee! I was too shocked to see it on there to be able to remember the words. It shouldn't take more than another viewing or two though. ;)

But, yeah, man, the memories it brings back.

Though, I think *NSYNC has me spoiled. I was watching the live performances on the dvd, and was cringing rather frequently. The music my 12/13 year-old-ears thought was golden suddenly isn't quite so shiny anymore. I still very much enjoy it, and I love the nostalgia of it, but I don't think I could listen to it day-in and day-out anymore.

I know what you mean. They're music doesn't tickle the ears as it once did, but it's good for the memories and nostalgia if nothing else!

You can start the Farmboys, but you're not going to want to leave it to go to work. :)

LOL! Thanks for the warning!
I have it sitting here in front of me... I really want to start it, but I think I want to be on time to work more.
::sigh::
I suppose that means I'll have to wait until I get home. ::pouts::

Oh, those two videos are my favorites from the NKOTB days. ;) I used to watch "Call It What You Want" over and over again. The teenie in me still gushes over how sexy Jordan looked in that video. ;) I still remember how much I hated those girls in the video and how much I wish I could have been one of them. I also wondered which one of them they were dating. lol The good ol' days. ;) I remember finding out about the "If You Go Away" video from one of their fan club newsletters. I wasn't in the fan club. My friend was and she was nice enough to make a copy of it for me. I still have that copy somewhere. I can scan it in if you'd like to see it. I don't really remember what it said. I do know it talked about the taping of it. The video was originally released in either Europe or Asia. After all these years, I am still in love with that song. To me, it's the best song they ever did. I have always hoped that *NSYNC would remake it. I know that it would sound even more amazing with their vocals. Until they do, I'll have to keep hoping and dreaming. ;) When my friend first got the DVD, she told me that there was a video for "If You Go Away" on it. Of course I got really excited and ran to the store to buy it. A beautiful video for a beautiful song. :) I fell in love with them all over again after I watched it for the first time. I miss them. :( I'm still waiting for that reunion tour. ;)

I suddenly feel like watching the DVD again. Maybe I'll set aside some time to watch it sometime later today.

Nah, don't worry about digging that newsletter up to copy it.

And yes, what a beautiful video for an amazingly beautiful song. "If You Go Away" ranks right up there with "Please Don't Go Girl" and "I'll Be Loving You Forever" with me in terms of sentimental value.

I feel an urge to go rewatch that for some strange reason. :)
