Pink Floyd & the Wizard of Oz?

Well, you learn something everyday! 

We have a new supervisor over here, and no one is too happy he is around, so, I decided to be nice and ask him how he liked his new office.  I was not expecting to start a whole conversation with the guy, but it happened.  I guess he was expecting me to scowl at him like everyone else.  Anyway, I've learned a very interesting thing.  He proceeded to tell me that if you start to play Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon CD  at the beginning of the Wizard of Oz at the first roar of the MGM lion, you will see that the music will correspond throughout the film up to the point where the Tin Man is explaining to Dorothy his need for a heart.  Interesting.  This conversation all started when he asked me about my Wizard of Oz calendar.  He told me to look it up on the web, and sure enough, there it is. Kind of errie and strange, but I like it!  Now I need to get a hold of the Wizard of Oz (no, I don't own it), and that Pink Floyd CD. Do you think the kids will mind if I play it as loud as I can while watching Wizard of Oz?  Sounds better than reality TV to me anyway. 

Oh well...time to get off the yellow brick road and work, or at least pretend to.  Just remember that the "The Wizard never gave the Tin Man something he didn't already have."

 

 

Out To Lunch

 

Today I'm meeting a friend from high school for lunch.  I last saw her in October at my reunion, but I really didn't get to talk to her very much at that time.  I was too involved with "I hope nothing goes wrong...", and plus I was pretty exhausted and jumpy because all of the planning involved, that I wasn't mentally there, plus I felt a little overwhelmed.  The day of the reunion I was making balloon bouquets, and decorating the club, and at night, me and my husband were trying to clean up and gather the balloons, that were gladly accepted by one of the alumni's husband who let them go outside.  Not a very responsible thing to do, but he was dressed like a clown so I thought it was appropriate enough.  I'm not kidding, he was dressed like a clown.  I am not the only weird person from my class apparently.  Actually, I discovered that I'm a rather stable and normal person who "hasn't changed a bit" from my high school days.  I don't know if that is good, or bad actually.

Oh well, it will be nice to sit and have a good lunch with an old friend today.  She has gone through a lot the past few years, and I'm grateful that she is still around on this Earth to actually be able to spend sometime with.  Good friends are hard to find sometimes.  There aren't very many people I can really consider as GOOD friends in my life.  But, as they say, all you need is a few.  They are about as hard as it is to find a good husband, and I can swear to you that sometimes I cannot believe how blessed I am to finally be with a good man that I can call my true friend.  :)
