Throwback to that time my cat cuddled with TBWKTM...

I feel a bit drunk right now. I've been dealing with so much lately. My mom, (who is elderly and disabled, I'm her caretaker) has been in and out of the hospital and I'm worried about her health. And I'm having vision problems, I have retinopathy and the treatment is medicine injected in the eye, which is pretty much my worst nightmare come to life. I have to do it again next week. One of my cats died last autumn and I'm still not over it. I've lost touch with most of my friends, and those who are left are so busy so I don't even really have anybody I can moan to... hence this post. Sorry to dump this on you all, who don't really know me... I just needed to talk I guess

My ringtone is the chorus to Men at Work's Who Can it be Now? It's perfect for me

There's an official lyric video now...

I wonder if there will be more than one version. Specifically, I mean, I can't see a song referencing 39 degrees as hot achieving any kind of success in the US. Or maybe he's given up on us. Regardless, I love what I've heard so far. I also thought of Prince, whom I'm a huge fan of.

Why do I feel like this cat is going to demand that I answer a series of riddles?

What does he say, why choose Michael Jackson?

To be honest, it kills my soul a little to hear him say he hates cats.

LICM: Lollipop TBWKTM: Good Gone Girl SFS: Toy Boy TOOL: Love You When I'm Drunk NPIH: Oh Girl You're the Devil

I'm not sure if this counts, because they didn't actually play any of his music, but today on Eastenders they mentioned Mika... in fact, it appears that one of the characters has named their baby after him! Kim was discussing baby names, and because her other kid is named Pearl, she wanted a rock name. She said she considered Mica, but that it sounded like Mika, so she said she played Big Girl and it made the baby smile for the first time. So the baby is named Mika. Here's a youtube upload of the episode, the conversation is from 20:35 to 21:42

I have a white one with multi-colored lights. I decorate it with butterflies, colorful birds, gold and pink ornaments, and crochet stars.

This video is my happy place!

Here is Mika's segment, but I can't help with the rest.

I love this photo.

I tried to fix it...

Here is the thread for removing watermarks. These look pretty bad, though. They're beyond my abilities!

I can't watch that either, from the US. I watch unofficial uploads on youtube.

Part of Relax played at the beginning of today's Hollyoaks!

I've transcribed the bit where he's talking about Mika, in case anyone can't listen to it... Greg Wells: So he called and he said, "I heard what you did on Lindsay's record, and you know, sorry it didn't go, " we didn't sell very many copies. "I heard what you did on it, and you know, I've signed this kid named Mika, out of London, I think you'd be the right fit for him." Like, ok, I just got this buzzy feeling, well that's interesting. Anyway I wound up becoming Mika's record producer. And he had a song on his debut album called Grace Kelly that just sort of took over most of the world. PopShop: I mean it was a huge hit in Europe and the UK, and it was a moderate hit in America, as well. Greg Wells: He was too gay for American radio. In fact, the head of Clear Channel at the time told Mika's mother "we love this song, we can't play a song with a man singing in falsetto saying he wants to be like a woman. We just can't get behind it." Today might be different, I would like to think it would be. But she was literally told that. I mean, I didn't see that guy say it to her, but she told me that story. PopShop: This is what you've heard second hand. Greg Wells: From her! From his mom. PopShop: Just saying, in case anyone's listening and they're going to suddenly blow that out, and like this is what you were told. Greg Wells: It's what I was told, yeah. And uh, you know, that came out in the UK and it shot to number one and it sat there for seven weeks at number one. We couldn't believe it was happening. We sold almost six million records, wound up selling, I don't know, eight or ten million records, I think. It changed my life, it changed my, that was the record that changed my life.
