After days of Spring-like temps and the melting of snow, I awoke this morning to see the ground (and trees and power lines, etc) coated with the white stuff. Come on, Mother Nature, this isn't funny anymore! LOL The roads were nice and clear, however, so I was able to run my errands and pick up the copy of Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars I had reserved for Devin & Tom at Gamestop. I am not much for video games (aside from the occasional round of SingStar or Wii Fit), but Tom and Devin love all the Lego video games, so last week I took a pile of games that they were done with over to Gamestop and was able to get enough store credit for them to buy the new game outright. Gotta love the trade-in system!!

I'm feeling a little "blue" today, though I am not sure why. Happens to all of us sometimes, right? I don't know what is wrong with me, I'm just in this "funk" that I can't seem to get out of. I'm sure I will snap out of it soon. Sure would help if the sun came out, though.....

Instead of whining, I will get right to Song of the Day! In honor of the release of Duran Duran's new CD, I have chosen the title track "All You Need is Now" for today's song.This CD was actually released on itunes about a month or so ago, so I actually bought it then. However, the actual CD hits stores today. I was (and sort of still am) a major "Durannie" when I was a teenager, and I dreamed of marrying drummer Roger Taylor, but still harboured a crush on John Taylor as well. One entire wall of my bedroom was papered in DD posters and magazine clippings, and I snapped up every piece of DD merchandise I could get my hands on! I remember travelling to Portland, ME to see them (which was about 3 hours from my house) with my friend, Jenna, and her Dad on their "Seven and the Ragged Tiger" Tour. We got a couple of hotel rooms near the civic center, and I remember Jenna and I staying up to watch "Monty Python's Meaning of Life". Is that the one where the guy eats so much and his stomach explodes, because that is the part I remember. I will return from my brief flashback to tell you how much I am loving this new CD! Some of their music has been hit-or-miss with me since the '90's but "All You Need is Now" really captures their classic sound, with a modern tweak. Did I mention that I LOVE it??? :)
