Madness

I want to kick things off by sending warm birthday wishes to Muse vocalist Matt Bellamy, for whom I have growing respect.  My sister told me YEARS AGO that Muse was a decent band, but I'm only now realizing how right she is.  If you've ever heard Matt's wailing vocals in "Survival" then you'll understand why my respect for the band has grown, as his voice sounds hauntingly like that of the great Freddie Mercury, especially right at the end.  "Madness" is also a special song, as my sister and brother-in-law have it picked as "their song."  Y'all know how some married couples do that?  The spring before they were married my sister came home for spring break, and she happened to come home during the height of March Madness.  Sister reported later that every time she turned on the TV "Madness" was playing, and when she returned to Cape Girardeau Brother-in-Law reported the same thing.  The two had missed each other, of course, and they grew to associate "Madness" with each other, and what's special to them becomes special to me by proxy.  As for me, I like "Knights of Cydonia."  Matt's father is George Bellamy of the Tornados, and I can hear the Tornados' influence in some of Muse's songs.  Listen to "Telstar" and before listening to "Knights of Cydonia" and you'll know what I mean.  So...happy birthday, Matt Bellamy.  Thanks for the music and the memories!

Sadly I do not have a Muse-themed bow.  I have one for the Beatles and one for Led Zeppelin, but none for Muse.  Indeed, I don't know if such a critter exists.  So I picked one that's...well, if I wanted to nitpick it's got a little madness of its own.  It's go hearts on it like a great many JoJo Bows do, but the hearts are black.
This particular bow is one of my heavier ones, because it has a light-up function.  My light-up bows are always a little on the weighty side, though not as much so as the Lalaloopsy bow.
I have a handful of these bows that light up, but some of them have batteries that have kicked the bucket.  The batteries are sadly not replaceable, so I leave the lights off most of the time.  Luckily these bows are cute even when they're not lit up; the best example I have of a bow like this will be seen closer to Halloween.

Love,

Let freedom ring

Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
