It's been a long weekend out in the sun - one of K2's friends had an outdoor birthday party yesterday afternoon, and today we all had a cookout to attend. My brain is a little fried and so I turn to my favorite topic...
...music! What I've been ruminating on as we count the days to Tuesday is songs with days of the week in title or lyrics. Here's my list, I'd love to hear your Daily songs in the comments!
Manic Monday - Bangles - pretty acoustic version
Ruby Tuesday - Rolling Stones - covered here by The Corrs with the Stones' Ron Wood
Lady Madonna - Beatles - "Wednesday morning paper didn't come" A gorgeous 1969 cover by Richie Havens.
Thursday - Jim Croce - Well, it started out just like a dream...
Friday I'm In Love - The Cure - As well as the rest of the week :-)
Saturday - Basshunter - Perfect for dancing all nite long!
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2 - I can't believe the news today...

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eye of the nominator, and you the reader. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all uplift each other instead of tear each other down.
From Neon Vincent:
Trix posted Ceiling Cat is watching you negotiate, which Laughing Planet called the LOLCat of the year, in my diary Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday (Debt Ceiling Hostage Crisis edition). He thought it would be a nominee for a KOSCar. For it to be a candidate for the KOSCars, it had better be on Top Comments first!
From ScottyUrb:
Shockwave invents a new word, and Upper West, Fury, and SouthernLiberalinMD take it and run with it!
From bronte17:
From Seneca Doane... you gotta love this flowery wit... in Greg Sargent: GOP on verge of huge, unprecedented political victory by DemFromCT.
Magnifico asks a simple question...
How come D.C. is so excited about the future when it comes to gutting our country's social safety net and not when it comes to addressing climate change?

From KelleyRN2:
Today’s KosAbility diary, by Patric Juillet, was about bedwetting. Larry Bailey’s remark to Patric was quite clever!
From Yours Truly, brillig:
I'm usually sunshine and light. In tonight's No deal: As bad as it is, it will get even worse by Laurence Lewis, Dallasdoc captures my mood.
