09112605 ~ imagine [26 Nov 2009|10:05pm]
[ mood | moved ]
[ music | just close your eyes and listen ]

last night on glee, the kids from mckinley high had the privilege of "listening" to an interpretation of john lennon's imagine, as performed by a bunch of deaf kids from a rival school. it was so moving ~ the way the scene played out as everyone joined in ~ my eyes welled up. (yes, i'm a big ole pussy ~ so sue me.)

anyhooch.

when i went to download the song from itunes, i was disappointed to find that the cover of imagine did not include the deaf performers ~ it was strictly the kids from mckinley. that kind of irked me.

i've uploaded what i believe to be the better of the two versions ~ it's on megaupload, and i'm afraid it's an .flv file because i converted it from a youtube clip i thought might get taken down.

still, if you haven't heard it, it's really beautiful: imagine.

09112602 ~ scavenger hunt [26 Nov 2009|04:50pm]
[ mood | we'll see... ]
[ music | 155 ~ +44 ]

this is a new game i'm farting around with--i did this for [info]keneally and [info]stralis, but anyone/everyone is welcome to play. i'm going to start by telling you what it is i'm looking for--it can be a person, a place, a thing--you name it. but in order to identify what it is i'm looking for, you'll have to follow a series of clues and hints which may, at time, fuck with your head. (not really--i made this one easy, just to see how it goes.)

enough chitchat, let's begin: for this trial run, i will tell you that i'm looking for the name of a place. if you are able to decipher and/or figure out all of the clues (in order)--you should discover the exact name of the place i'm looking for.

here goes:

  1. The following sets of initials have something in common ~ and are listed in a specific order. One set of inititals is missing. You will need to know those initials to proceed to step 2.
    KC RS FB CU __ JS DC KA
  2. In the history of the Academy Awards, nine men have won 2 Best Actor Oscars and 11 women have won 2 Best Actress Oscars. (Incidentally, by 2, I mean exactly 2--no more, no less.) Of these twenty individuals, identify the only star who shares the initials as those of the missing intitials in the previous clue.
  3. Once you've determined the celebrity in question, wiki their high school. Once you pull it up, write down the name of the school's mascot.
  4. From May 28, 1983 through July 2, 1983, what inidividual had the #1 single on Billboard's Hot 100? If you can find out, take that person's initials and add them to end of the word you came up with in the last question. You should now have a very recognizable new word.
  5. Think of that new word. Forget where you think I might go with it. Instead, think Tony Awards. Think Best Musical. Now go to Amazon.com and look up the OBC recording of said musical. Write down the name of track 20.
  6. Got it? Ok, look up the lj user who has this name. If you've done everything correctly, you'll notice this person only has one friend.
  7. Go to that individual's profile page.

the answer to this scavenger hunt ~ the place i'm looking for ~ is the "location" of this user.

what is the place?

09111301 ~ like looking for a needle in a gaystack [13 Nov 2009|11:45pm]
[ mood | desperate ]
[ music | i'm overjoyed ~ nona gaye ]

i know this is a long shot, but stranger things have happened in the world of richard's journal ~ so here goes:

a million year ago, i posted a hilarious youtube clip of martha wash on i've got a secret. (this was back in the day before i knew you could save youtube clips--so, yeah, i'm kicking my own ass right about now.)



short story long: the clip is no longer available--it was removed by the almighty powers that be--i'm guessing for copyright infringement. i have googled myself to death looking for this clip--to no avail.

if anyone on my flist was friends with me back in the day--and if (by some stroke of luck or happenstance) you saved the clip--would you send it to me?

there could be a cruise to hawaii in this for you.



p.s. or a cookie. my choice.

i would just like to say ~ for the record ~ that i believe the individual who strangled julie mayer is none other than dave williams.

i haven't heard anyone else mention this possibility, so when if it comes to be that that turns out to be the case, you heard it here first.

i'm just sayin' is all...
