My friends and I, we dance.

It’s been a long time since there were this many movies I’d like to see in the theater.

OIL. Yum yum. It’s put food on the table my entire life.

Sigh. Who doesn’t love movies like this? A love story spanning a lifetime. I am always drawn to stories of people kept apart for some reason.

I haven’t read this book so I will have to run out and get it before the only copies available are the ones covered with a movie poster before I see it.

No reason, though Kevin would tell you that there IS a reason. And that reason would be Christian Bale. But it’s Christian Bale as Bob Dylan, one of the most unattractive men I can think of.

Oh my. *cries* This looks really good.

For the record, this would have worked on me (but I’m taken so nevermind). Let’s look at it. A serenade. ABBA. Umm…YES.

Some of my happiest memories are pretending to waltz around Granny’s living room while watching The King and I. And this movie, well, it’s just wonderful.

Well…that was a lie. But I promise that tomorrow there is going to be an extra super Thursday Thirteen. You will not regret tuning in for my opinion on some very timely subject matter. I’m going to be up all night doing research, just so I can get this right for you folks.

While you wait, please enjoy the following. It is my fellow (ohgoodgrief) Oklahoman, Mike Gundy, going on a tirade against a girl who thinks she’s a sports writer nice young lady (Jenni Carlson) who works for The Oklahoman. (Crossed out because I might apply for a job there someday.)

So many different things lead people to this blog. Whether it’s the various links from other bloggers, Thursday Thirteen, or deciding who you’re going to vote for in the 2007 Okie Blog Awards (nominated for Best Writing Blog!), I’m glad that each of you stop by. But by far, the most interesting thing about having this blog is seeing what keyword searches lead people here. Let me tell you, I get some doozies.

university of oklahoma panties — Okay, this one is pretty easy to explain. For the 2004 OU/texas game, Heather and I made festive panties. They’ve been a hit here on the internet.

do not date them — This could mean a lot of things, but if you need the names of these guys I can definitely supply you with a list of downright scoundrels.

ou scarlet pimpernel — Yes! The Scarlet Pimpernel is going to be at the University of Oklahoma next month and I am terribly excited. I will be there and you should be, too. “Don’t be afraid, it’s only love!”

Of course, I saved the best (weirdest) for (nearly) last.

“bad cough body aches slight fever slept with cat what do i have?“

You poor, poor dear. I have no idea what you’ve got (nor how your search led you here, because I have never slept with a cat. I hope to do that someday, but since my dad is still my landlord, there will be no cats in this house for a long, long time.), but I’d suggest that you get yourself to a doctor.

The latest search to bring someone here was “shanice i cant imagine music codes.” While I don’t have any music codes around here and I’m not familiar with that song, there was one song of Shanice’s that I LOVED back in 1995. Oh yes my friends.

And while we’re at it, here’s the deleted scene that featured the song (with a singing Mel Gibson!) from Disney’s Pocahontas.

My favorite dance from this past season of So You Think You Can Dance. Neither of the dancers were my favorites, but I just loved this performance. I know people hated on Lacey a lot (in case you didn’t know, she was last year’s winner’s sister), but she’s so cute! And her hair in this video (while I’m sure it’s mostly extensions) has convinced me (ahem, as if I wasn’t convinced already) to grow mine out again. NOW I have reached a point in my life where I can probably say, “Not cutting it ’til I’m married.” We’ll see how long that lasts.

It’s worth watching to the end just to hear Mary Murphy.

Wow. This woman really seems to love her job.
