musical...happy Valentine's Day...

IF music be the food of love play on? What was Shakespeare thinking!

Anyway, if you read this as you are reaching for your coffee, before you turn on your chosen morning television show, or as you look for inspiration before going for a jog around the block....

Happy friggin' Valentine's Day! (she said angrily...hoping your cheerful Friday mood would be tainted by a thunderstorm as you put on your sweat band and started doing eighties-like-stretches before your Friday morning 10km run - just an easy one today- before indulging in a breakfast made by your betrothed with a single red rose in a vase on the breakfast tray...then your betrothed gives you a puppy...and you both look perfect).

Nah, I'm not bitter. Seriously, not in the slightest!

Last year I was alone on Valentine's Day... and I was in Paris.

But I won't be alone today! I'll be at work, and then I'm stealing my friend from her boyfriend for the night to attend a theatre event with me. It'll be glorious!

I was given two free tickets for a show and imagined that all my girlfriends would be obliged to spend time with their significant others tomorrow night and I wouldn't be able to rope in my usual "plus ones".

The row I'd be sitting in would be: person.person.person.person.Maree.spareseat.person.person.person.

But thanks to Sally (I've mentioned her a number of times in my posts - it's starting to seem like I only have one friend, when I have at least four...at least) the row will not be void a human.

Anyway, if music be the food of love, I have a treat surprise for you.

Now, you can take this next part of my blog in the way that I'm trying to get some audience participation going on here, or you can take it in the way that I ran out of time to really fulfil what I'm going to do...hmmmmm. Little bit of column A, little bit of column B... Anyway - click on the below and guess what song this is...it's the intro. The full version will be posted on the weekend (if this link doesn't work I'll say: "damn you technology"...and start sending my blog attached to the legs of seagulls...that'll be reliable). IF you can't see the pic below (which may happen if you're on you iPad or iPhone) - try this link: here



If you know it straight away (Nick) (..wahoo five friends!) keep it to yourself for a few days...actually just post it immediately. I can't see Blogger being shut down from the major reaction...

Anyway, I'll be back on the weekend! See you then.

    Hi MG, good guess but no! I'll give you a clue…it's usually played on piano, so if you can transpose the chords to be for piano you may be closer! xx

Let's get CLASSICAL!!!

"REE, of all the posts you've written, the one about the Importance of Being Ernest was my least favourite," my brother told me politely. I didn't take offense at all, the fact that he had read all of them was compliment enough! He can join my small group of weekly avid readers which includes my mum....my step-mum, sister, future sis-in-law.......did I mention my mum? Thank goodness I'm from a large family! (If you are part of this rather exclusive group, please make yourself known by commenting at the bottom of this blog or send me an email at mareewrites@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you). So, Nicholas...if that is your real name...sink your teeth into this one! It's about classical writing as well! Let's get CLASSICAL! I started to read Emma by Jane Austen the other day... sdal;kfjhwaeiotweat9wra Oh sorry, I just fell asleep on my keyboard thinking about it. I'm not really being fair. I started to read it when I was jet-lagged ...

Let's get...theoretical!

WHEN it comes to love....ha... as if that's going to be the theme of my blog! ...rewind (*insert old fashioned tape noise here) LET'S GET...physical, classical, theatrical....geographical! "Here's to the freakin weekend!" as Rihanna would say and yes it may be Friday, but it's not time to throw your pen down just yet. You've still got about seven hours left! (if you're working until 5pm... not working today?...then why are you up! ) If you are really struggling to resist checking Facebook right about now, then exchange the habit with another. Read my blog. In fact, do it every Friday at 10am. I'm getting physical, classical and theatrical and upon reading this for a few weeks, you may too. My blog is going to explore all the fascinating experiences that come in life before you burn out and at the ripe age of 110 (I have good genes) you kick the bucket. I'm only going to concentrate on the stuff that's whimsical and mystical, not...

Let's get philosophical and resolutional!!

-
A LOT has happened since my last post (August)…and in the last post I vowed it to mark the end of a four-month hiatus. Regretfully, it wasn't. Not a single post followed, apart from a post with no content which I must have published accidentally.  Surprisingly...I didn't get any backlash for not posting for a good five months...not even from my mum. But even despite that, I'm going to pretend that the world is a better place with my blogging and start again. And what better time to begin than January 1, 2014. I'm getting philosophical about the year ahead and will state my resolutions.  The beginning of a year is when almost everyone vows to give up one thing or another or improve their lifestyles. The most common resolutions involve giving up cigarettes, alcohol, chocolate and taking up healthy habits such as exercise.  As I don't smoke at all, or drink excessively, my resolutions are focused upon bettering myself and developing amazing holi...
