Earworm Wednesdays

I wasn't gonna write one of these today, but I was in the middle of preparing another post when I realized I do indeed have an earworm floating about. It's Dark Road by Annie Lennox. I don't have any Annie Lennox CDs, or any Eurythmics either, b...

Earworm Wednesdays

I've become a big fan of Glee. I've always enjoyed the show, but it seems more and more to be coming into its own - or maybe I'm just getting used to the frenetic pace of it. Whatever the reason, I love it. One of the songs they did has been stu...
