Paul Simon, Obviously

I was at work the other day when the customer I was helping started to hum and tap his fingers on the counter. This actually happens all of the time.

But then I realized he was humming along to "You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon.

And I had an epiphany.

There was no Paul Simon in my life! (And by life, I mean ipod, obviously.)

Thus, here are my four favorite Paul Simon songs.

(If I could figure out how to post audio rather than YouTube videos, I would. However, these particular videos are pretty interesting. Two are actual cheesy music videos and two are live performances. The Zimbabwe dancers in #3 are particularly awesome.)


4. Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard



3. Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes



2. You Can Call Me Al



1. The Obvious Child


I've found recently that lists work for me.

So, here are things I want to write about this week:

Kristan Higgins (and her 3 excellent romance novels)
The RWA RITA awards
The Sex and the City movie (I know, well overdue)
Step Up 2 The Streets (also well overdue)
Foods I Love (I must tell you about Stella D'Oro cookies... I must)

Hopefully, writing about wanting to write about them will get me to write about them.

You understand.
