I’m still sick. I am really bad at being sick. I have this vision of sickness that involves the couch, a remote, a good book and about two days of senescence. I think the last time I actually fulfilled this version of sick is when I got the flu while I was pregnant with Grey. I watched the entire first six seasons of Red Dwarf on DVD in a fevered-haze (the best way, in my opinion). But my only two nods to the snot-beast currently taking residence in my chest are that I slept through church Sunday (and by slept through I mean that I got up half an hour before the madding crowd returned home), and I skipped yoga.

It’s hard enough for me to be interesting at the best of times. But being interesting while I’m sick? Yeah. Right.

But my husband demanded that I share one of this weekend’s anecdotes, and lacking more compelling material, I shall oblige him.

Grey has a number of toys that play songs. Nearly every keyboard-type electronic device he owns has a setting where it plays songs. Please note: every one of them plays “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”. He will sometimes quiz me on the songs and demand I sing them. Where DID my back-brain learn all the words to all these songs? He would like you to know that “Oh My Darlin’ Clementine” is very sad. How did she get lost, mama? Didn’t she have a whistle?

Anyway, “In the Hall of the Mountain King” came up in rotation, and he asked me to sing it. I know some words, “Goblins racing down the street, they will get, much to eat, when it’s time for trick-or-treat on Halloween”. They didn’t quite match with the longer version, so I expanded on the hungry goblins theme. Grey pretended to be scared – delightedly so. After our fourth or fifth time of me being a hungry goblin, he and I both became goblins and went upstairs looking for daddy-sized prey. Having found some, we gnawed on various available arms and legs.

My husband said, “Wow, this is just like the worst of my zombie dreams.” (An interesting insight to his psyche, doncha think?)

I, being sick and muzzy-mouthed, replied that we were zoblins. My husband and I laughed in delight. What a great word! Zoblins!

Zoblins, or maybe Gombies

Well, The last Car CD has been spinning on repeat in the Cruiser since March. Thus it was time for a new mix. Realising that my daughter knew nothing of our country’s heritage, this CD is very patriotic (as our latest trips to the Library have been as well.) So here is the “July Car CD” (that may last until October!)

My daughter like many types of music, but the Danielson Familie, Joy Electric, Soul Junk and Sandra Boyntn are her favorites. The Cutest Lil’ Dragon and “I Want This Beat” were Specific requests from the lady herself.

Tonight, I leave you with one of my most favourite songs of all time. This is Apocalyptica’s take on Edvard Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King. Enjoy!

No-thing much is new this week.  Not much at all. 

I learned how to play the first part of Edvard Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King” on the guitar.  I learned it by ear.  That’s mostly the only way I learn how to play things. 

Aside from that, not much is new.  I haven’t done any-thing interesting, new, even weird.  This must’ve been an off week.

I did get two new Zune listener badges.  One for the Herman’s Hermit’s album – Retrospective and one for Herman’s Hermit’s themselves.  I have 15 now.  I also passes 10,000 total plays. 

I need to make a poem for Englisch class due on Mon-day.  So far, I’ve decided only that it will be about scrambled eggs.  I still have to do that, my Englisch booklet (entailing everything I’ve learned in the class), and a math review.

Aren’t I having fun now…?

In the Hall of the Mountain King for Intermediate Level 4 Piano Solo by Edvard Grieg

About Peer Gynt
Peer Gynt is a play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It was written in 1867, and first performed in Christiania (now Oslo) on February 24, 1876, with incidental music by the composer Edvard Grieg…

Perhaps the most famous aspects of this play are the suites of Grieg’s incidental music whose well-known movements include Morgenstemning (Morning Mood), Anitras Dans (Anitra’s Dance), and I Dovregubbens Hall (In the Hall of the Mountain King) from the first suite, andSolveigs Sang (Solveig’s Song) from the second…

Això ho he trobat buscant la lletra de l’últim número de la primera suite de Peer Gynt, que en la versió completa té uns cors al final… No és la seva millor interpretació, però són boníssims els crits de la gent després de sentir el nom d’Edvard Grieg

“…we will punish you by playing classical music” Tampoc està malament el detall de l’arc negre del líder del grup. No podia ser d’una altra manera…

Hey ~m, all you have to do is practice whistling “In the Hall of the Mountain King.” Just don’t carry things to this extreme . . .
