It would appear that the Hipcast player you all use to post music on Mondays, doesn't work with blogger beta. Which brings me much sadness since I'm an ardent lover of music. I was so ready to start things off today with Time Jesum Transeuntum et non Riverentum by Nick Cave and the Dirty Three. In my eyes perhaps Nick Caves best work. I'll continue to try to find a way of sharing the music I care deeply for with all of you.
Yep, I'm bummed.
If you happen to look for that song, forgive me in advance if it offends your values and faith. Though hauntingly beautiful, it has a strong message which may not be take well by all who hear it.
Here's the lyrics
We were called to the forest... when we went down.
A wind blew warm and eloquent
We were searching for the secrets of the universe...
And we rounded up demons and forced them to tell us what it all meant
We tied 'em to trees and broke them down one by one
And on a scrap of paper, they wrote these words...
And as we read them, the sun broke through the trees...
"Dread the passage of Jesus, for he will not return."
Then we headed back to our world and left the forest behind...
Our hearts singin' with all the knowledge of love.
Then somewhere, somehow, we lost the message along the way...
And when we got home, we bought ourselves a house.
And we bought a car that we did not use...
And we bought a cage and two singing birds...
And at night we'd sit and listen to the canary's song.
For we'd both run right out of words...
Now the stars, they are all angled wrong...
And the sun and the moon refuse to burn
But I remember a message in a demon's hand
Dread the passage of Jesus for he does not return...
...he does not return...
...he does not return...

First things first...Hello and thank you so much for the invitation. I'm all caught up and can now start with the gushing.
What's not to love about R. she sparkles! She's gaw-gaw about you, too. *sigh* ahhhh, romance!
Loved the blue lights around the notebook and will definitely do some more research, it looks like fun and I'm all about the fun! You called it painting with light, right? I'll go find the comment, no worries.
About not being able to post hipcast to BloggerBeta...our dear WDKY has figured out how to do it, so be sure to check with him for the particulars and then tell me...it's yet another reason I've not switched to BloggerBeta.
As you know R and I IM'd the other night...she popped my IM cherry on my new iMac. I got to use my camera for the first time too and gave her all the reasons why she would be a very happy computer owner if she'll take the plunge and come on over to the bright side!
Okay, I think that's about it. I have a couple of videos to watch and want to study some of your images a bit closer.
Again, thanks for the invite. I hope you're having a splendid day!
**Big Hugs**

When I bought that song as an Easter Egg on the "X-Files TV Soundtrack," I looked up some info on the song. (Song starts at the -10:13 mark *before* Track 1, for you fans out there.)
Nick Cave explains that it's a line from the Bible supporting the argument that all should repent because the next time Jesus walks the earth, it will be the end times as foretold in Revelation.
Obviously not a big hit with those thumpers looking *forward* to the end of the world I s'pose...
