Wonderland or Not

A bro­ken wrist having kept me from snow­boar­ding I went out this after­noon to cap­ture a copy of Shut­ter Island. I dis­like seeing films based on books I haven’t read, and Shut­ter Island looks like a must see for me.

In a week full of news of home grown terro­rism in Ala­bama (by way of Har­vard), and Texas, a week in which Tiger hea­ded back to Buddhism (always a good call when you lose spon­sorships get off track), Rus­sia get­ting testy due to lack of gold, and Ron Paul win­ning the pre­si­den­tial straw poll at CPAC,‎ I’m happy to do divert to a Satur­day Old School Fri­day .

This week the Old School Fri­day Theme is, If I Could Sing, I’d Want To Sound Like.

I’d like to sound like a lot of sin­gers, but I rea­lize it’s unfair to choose them all, so I will choose two. I know there are bet­ter voca­lists, and Bright­man brings inter­na­tio­nal crowds to their feet, but I am choo­sing skins that would fit me.

Rea­lis­ti­cally I’d be com­for­ta­ble soun­ding like Diana Krall, a jazzy bos­sa­no­vaist (not a word, I know), sit­ting in a smo­key lounge with a large under­ground follo­wing. I love her.

But for aura, pre­sence, and to bring down hou­ses, I’d choose to be Tina Turner.

Old School Fri­day The­mes avai­la­ble at Ms Marv’s.

What about you?

Peace
