Right! Whatever that means!

Hey lady, you, lady!

I'm kind of obsessed with "I've Never Been to Me" today, after having woken up with it in my head this morning. It's sort of depressing, because I am neither living the kind of boring, discontented suburban life that Charlene longs for, nor have I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free. I must be missing out on something.

I've never been to Georgia or California or Nice or the isle of Greece¹ or even moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo. In fact, there is only one part of the whole song that applies to me: I have seen some things that a woman ain't s'posed to see.

¹ Which isle? Not that it matters, because I haven't been to any of them. I have been to the aisle at a production of Grease, though.

*G* You should watch Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. "Never been to me" features in the film and on the soundtrack.

Nice. I like what you link to when you talk about those things a lady shouldn't see.

Well, I was in California for a few minutes last summer. And hopefully (ticket prices willing!) I will be in the spring, too.

This song makes me want to watch the episode of Black Books where Bernard and Manny house-sit and drink the guy's £7000 wine, and Fran goes on a date with a gay man.

Roight! I have no idea what that means, but I shall weigh in with my opinion as soon as I have searched for it on the Internet.

Get thee to youtube for and look for episodes of Black Books! Warning: it may make you want to aspire to be a terrible book shop owner who drinks wine all day and is completely rude to customers.

I'm four and a half minutes in to that episode now. :)

I am a giant ear... waiting... for your songs of niceness.
