One of Life's Amazing Coincidences (#286)

I'm going to let y'all in on a little secret that will brighten up your day by a factor of 10 spoonfuls of sugar:

In Hector Berlioz's musical piece entitled, "Damnation de Faust", the interval lying between seconds 37 and 39.5 sound EXACTLY like the music in that scene in Mary Poppins where Jane and Michael are frantically running away from the bank and around the dark alleys of London.

I swear, this discovery is on par with that really famous equation in math that contains all the important constants.

You Know What's Creepy?

The sound of the ice cream man in the middle of the night. Somehow, the darkness turns the cutesy tinkly music into something sinister. It's like children in horror movies.

Pot Calls Kettle Black

I just realized that I've been called "special" several times by a bipolar co-worker who's spent time in the "loony bin" and used to see a gaunt, bloody, death-like version of herself following her around everywhere. Not quite sure what to make of that.

Berlioz the Romantic

"Which of these two powers, love or music, can elevate man to the sublimest heights? Why separate them? They are the two wings of the soul."

PS Meets Marvel

This one made me burst out laughing like a cannon. Good thing I was in the privacy of my own home.

Update: Okay, I just showed Sarah the link, and she had a very tame reaction compared to mine, so maybe it won't be that funny to other people. In fact, there was no reaction whatsover for several long seconds. Then she realized that there was nothing to get and went back to reading Harry Potter saying, "I like the Harry Potter one better."

Labyrinth- The Quintessential '80s Movie

But I liked it anyway- surprise surprise!

So Labyrinth, starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly is chock-full of lessons, like "life's not fair," "don't take things for granted," "friends are everything," and so on. But I think the most important lesson we must take away from this Sesame Street/Wizard of Oz/LOTR/Alice in Wonderland- like film is: Never trip on LSD! Lest you fantasize about being infatuated with David Bowie in tight gray leggings. Ay, what a nightmare!
