A Song With the Word "Dream" In It

At the balloon festival, I was a contestant in a trivia game.

One of the questions I buzzed in on was, “Sing a Song That Has the Word Dream in It.” I thought I could get away with naming the title, but no…, I had to sing it.

I gave “Daydream Believer” as the song name, but, I realized later, the song I started muttering was “Eternal Flame.” No wonder I couldn’t figure out where the words "Daydream Believer" fit into it.

Somehow they let me have the point, but I would have been embarrassed had I won the game with sort of a not kosher answer. Even though "Eternal Flame" has the word "Dream" in it also.

But I would have been even more embarrassed had I lost to this group in what would have been a version of “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader.”



Anyway I have been singing "California Dream'n" all week.

If you can think of any other song containing the word "Dream", feel free to post it to the comments section. I won't even make you sing.

Keeping Cool

Some of you may remember this post from last summer:

The Sweatshop, Circa 2009 :

Well that was then. This is now. A portable air conditioner with a vent.



But there are no windows that open where I work ...

So yesterday, it was vented this way,


Today was vented this way:


Both days, venting into:


Which brought the temp in that room way up...



After which this sign was posted on the door to the room:

How was it it my room? Well, ... I seriously thought of putting on a sweater, but didn't want to be a show off.

A Stupid Sign

Couldn't they have just said, "No Admittance", or something like that?

Instead this version of "Nyah, nyah!! Too bad, you missed it!!"

It didn't occur to me to video until the play was almost over. So these clips are from towards the end. I'm actually sorry I didn't record much more!

I googled intitle:coffee makers "blogspot" "post a comment".

and looked at some of the blogs the google search found, and, yup, others were also spammed.

What this has to do with coffee I have no idea.

BTW, don't bother looking for the link. I removed the comment.
