Caveats to the RSS reader post from yesterday:
- Leaving comments on a post requires the extra step of going to the blog post directly, instead of reading it on the RSS reader site. That's a bummer because everybody likes comments, right? (I mean, except those people who have blogs with no comment feature...)
- There was a second thing I was going to mention, but now I have completely forgotten what it was. Must have been super important, right?
- Oh wait, I remember now! If you read the blog post in the RSS reader, you don't get to see all the stuff in the sidebar LIKE ALL OF MY BOOKS THAT YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO BUY! (And I just noticed I need to update the sidebar to include Theoretical Magic. It's a great book. Very fun.)
Anyhow, I guess it would make sense to add a two line footer to all my blog posts or something. Not that I get much traffic to this blog. Okay, I think I've successfully talked myself out of it. Whew.
The Topic — Earworms
You know how you sometimes get one line of a song stuck in your head and it just sits there for days? Sometimes I can get them unstuck by listening to the whole song and learning all the lyrics. Which means I find the video on YouTube and let it play.
Well, apparently YouTube keeps track of what I listen to. Quelle surprise! Today, I got distracted by another browser tab, so it played the previous song I'd had stuck in my head. And then the one before that. As playlists go, this isn't that bad:
- Sam Smith - Unholy
- Hozier - Too Sweet
- The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men
- Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive
Kitten Watch 2024
As of this morning, we were on a good course, with Green and Yellow both hitting the goal weight this morning. Hopefully today's vaccines & deworming doesn't throw things off. The kittens have been pretty quiet this afternoon. The good news is the shelter had more of the same canned food (Friskies Mixed Grill), so I don't have to add a diet change on top of all that.

Have I reached my 1700 word goal today?
No, but it's still early. I reached my goal yesterday.

I just read Dragon Freehold. I think I read part of it on Vella when you were first posting those, so I was glad to get the rest of the story.
As far as earworms, I'm stuck on Wicked lately and I don't really know all the songs so it's mostly the few I know better (Popular, Defying Gravity) and lately Dancing Through Life has gotten added to the rotation in my brain.
And of course the kittens are adorable.
The songs from Wicked really do burrow into the brain, don't they?
I suspect comments have gone out of vogue because of spammers.
Diaryland is so old it doesn't come with comments, so that's why no comments for me. *shrug* But I'm so dug in at this point.
Turn on your notes. I've been trying to leave you some!
Those are better earworms than the I Dream of Jeannie theme song.
And I'm so, so sorry for doing that to you just now.
Ha! The bass line of Too Sweet is too entrenched in my skull to let anything else in right now.
