Ewwww, it's an Earworm!

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head for what seems like forever? You just want it out even if it means banging your head with a sledgehammer? However, you settle for spreading the song and putting it everybody else's head instead. Sadly, I agree that this is a satisfactory, evil solution. Stephen King wrote an article in Entertainment Weekly about how he woke up singing the freecreditreport.com commercial. I'll admit that song is catchy. Lately, I've had songs from the musical, Rent, in my head, but I've had one song I've actually been singing aloud. I woke up singing it the other day. The sad thing is that I rarely know the correct words to songs so I have an interesting interpretation. In addition, I often have songs that instantly make me happy. Usually, fluffy, head-boppy songs. Right now, this song covers both the earworm and happy. Plus, I think the video is adorable.

Here is my latest earworm:

Books read in December 2008

1. The Pagan Stone by Nora Roberts. (NOTE: This is the third book in the Sign of Seven trilogy. Book 1 is Blood Brothers. Book 2 is The Hollow by Nora Roberts.
2. Salvation in Death by J.D. Robb

It was a Nora Roberts month for me. I liked both books, but I can't say either was my favorite in its respective series. I wanted the Sign of Seven series to be scarier and, though it had its creepy moments, it never clicked for me. That said, there were some adorable and tender moments in The Pagan Stone. Salvation in Death was different than I expected in terms of the plot, but I never claimed to be good at figuring out mysteries. It was a solid book.

I have the option of reading Suite 606 to continue the Nora Roberts trend, but I think I'll move onto something else. You can see what I'm currently reading on the main blog page. However, I'm also eagerly looking forward to 20th Century Ghosts, but Joe Hill scares me! So, it's slow-going (not to mention that I haven't finished Heart-Shaped Box yet). He's so talented, but ghosts really freak me out. Maybe soon, I'll get my courage up and finish Just After Sunset and get on the horror bandwagon to read/finish them all but, for now, I'll stick to the non-scary.
