80s Sighting: a-ha Saves the Day on Chuck Series Finale!

On Chuck vs. the Goodbye:

The set-up:  Under General Beckman's chair is a bomb set to go off as soon as the music stops...and the symphony's about to end.

To the rescue: Jeffster (a rock band comprising Jeff and Lester, two disturbing nerds who work at the Buy More).
 

Of all the day-saving, climax-worthy songs they could've chosen to belt out at this most crucial moment---the final mission by NBC's Team Bartowski after 5 seasons---Jeffster chose.... 



Rock on, Jeffster. If that got you jonesing for the 80s, might I suggest you take a gander at the Tumble 4 Ya blogfest?  Much thanks to everyone who's already joined!  I can't wait to see everyone's choices.

Missed the finale, but gotta love the nerds saving the day. Now I've got that song in my head.

Hi, Nicki. I have to admit the 80s wasn't my time, as you probably realized today when you commented on my post about writing about my childhood, which was the 40s and 50s. Thanks for stopping by. And now I'm going to stop by the Celery Tree forum to see if you've posted something since I was last there.

We haven't gotten this season of Chuck yet. :( but that being said my first crush was without a doubt Chris Isaac and for a very brief period Ricky Ashley. It bears mentioning that I still harbour tender feelings for Chris.

I never watched Chuck, although I have friends who like the show. I do like Jessica Alba though!

I loved the Buy More Staff. Jeffster rocks.

I was just singing "Ask me, ask me, ask me," yesterday. For some reason the song just flitted into my head.

I watched the first season but not any of the others. The Buy More bits were the best parts as well as Adam Baldwin but the spy stuff was annoying.

I'm sorry. I don't understand. I've never seen the show nor do I know the song. The significance of almost everything is lost on me.

Love,

Oh, I saw your discussion questions about Three Daves, so I decided to tell you about The Hurricane's Davids. Her dad is David; her brother is David; her college adviser was David; she, uh, did the nasty with a David in England; and now she's dating a Frenchman named David. Obviously, you need more Daves if you want to have as much fun as The Hurricane.

Love,
Janie

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
