You'n'me both, baby.  And so a year that once came up every 6 - 7 weeks or so becomes a "monthly visitor" -- so "Blood & Roses" is an appropriate TOTHC.

Woke up with crankypants on, and this set ain't helping.  Co-BOS to Smithereens and "I Still Believe," with a fear that the Call is yet to come.

Kudos to Dave for actually playing some Madonna.

Oh, that *is* the Call?  I didn't know!

And now, once again ... the inferior "Dreamtime."  While the Daryl Hall one, a Top 5 hit, remains in wait for its bustout.

Had a 10am meeting--looks like I picked a good day for it.

Might have cast a BOS vote for the Smithereens, nothing else seems to be that notable.

VHM Psych Furballs (not to be confused with fur pajamas), the *other* version of Pretty in Pink.
Let's get right to it.
