A Rose By Any Other Name Is Velvet

Okay, to preface this, my boss is foreign. She is Asian to be more specific. Well, she leaned over our shared cubicle wall and began to speak:

What is that saying?…’The sky is blue, velvet is red…’?

I had no clue what in the world she was talking about at first but then it hit me.

Do you mean ‘Roses are red, violets are blue’?

Then she had a look of recognition. Oh yeah, that’s it!

Foreign people make me giggle sometimes.

Drop The Needle On The Record

Since work is running at a snail-like pace today I have to do something to keep me from jumping out of the window. Sure that sounds extreme but I work on the bottom floor. Anyway, here is a quick one but could possibly start a decent debate.

If you were stuck alone on a desert island and, of course, had a record player/cd player/tape player and electricity, which five albums would you be sure to have on your person? I agonized over it and came up with these gems, in no particular order:

Abbey RoadThe Beatles

Wish You Were HerePink Floyd

RumoursFleetwood Mac

Physical GraffitiLed Zeppelin

Who’s NextThe Who

Now I am sure all of ya’lls lists will differ and possibly include newer material but in all honesty you really can’t go wrong with these choices. What other great albums can you make a case for?
