Saturday 9

(Link in meme-roll)
Bubbly (2007)
... because Jodi suggested Colbie Caillat
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Singer Colbie Caillat says this song was inspired by a trip to "the beach and having a wonderful day with a person you like." Have you been to the beach yet this summer?

Nope. And I probably won't be. Beaches are not my thing, though I don't really have anything against them either.

2) Are you careful about applying sunscreen?

Yes, although I'm outside so rarely in the summer because of allergies that it's kind of a non-issue. I don't even think we have any in the house at this point. Beast never puts any on. smh

3) Colbie made her TV debut in a 2009 episode of Saturday Night Live. Are you a big SNL fan?

I'm not a "big" fan, but I watch it semi-regularly.

4) "Bubbly" is often a synonym for champagne. When's the last time you enjoyed a glass of bubbly?

Good gosh, probably my 20th wedding anniversary. We had a bottle of Dom. That was 9 years ago, and we won't be having any alcohol next year.

5) Colbie sang the National Anthem at the third game of the Red Sox/Cardinals World Series in 2013. How is your favorite baseball team doing so far this season?

What is this "baseball" of which you speak? I haven't watched a game in two years, live or on TV. Baseball is really not my thing.

6) In 2005, Ms. Caillat tried out for Season 4 of American Idol but was eliminated very early in the process, before she could even audition for Simon, Paula and Randy. The winner that year was Carrie Underwood. Are you a Carrie Underwood fan?

She's ok. Better than some of the other folks that show has produced.

7) In 2007, when "Bubbly" was popular, actress Yvonne deCarlo died. She was best known as Lily on The Munsters. If you had to choose (and yes, this Saturday you have to), would you rather hang out with Lily Munster or Morticia Addams?

Morticia. Of course. There's no contest.

8) In 2007, MySpace was faced with a serious challenge from Facebook, and it's obvious which social network won. Did you have a MySpace account? If so, do you still post to it?

I ... think I did have one, though I rarely used it.

9) Random question: Which have you had longer, your ironing board or your plunger?

Ironing board. Once you have one, short of natural disaster or losing it in a move, you really never need another one. Plungers...they do wear out, or rather, age out.
