Sorbet, You Say?

Of course I am!

Chocolate, not all the other things in the results.

You Are Chocolate

On the surface, you are charming and engaging. People love you, and you're naturally popular. When people dig a bit deeper, they discover your relentless ambitious and drive. You are very goal oriented. You are refreshing because you have impeccable manners and charm. You get along with almost everyone. You have a strong personality, but you keep it under wraps unless the occasion calls for it. Your savvy and intelligence is very cool. People turn to you for what to like and what to do. You have an eye for what is on trend, but you're never intimidating or a snob. You like to share your finds with everyone.

Pride - Syntax

I was flippin' through channels on the TV the other day and caught the last part of a "Bones" episode and this song was playing.  I hadn't heard of the group Syntax and while reading about them, found out this song and others by the group had been used in other television programs and a few movies. 

This is a fan-created video; I didn't find an official video.  Another YouTube video had also been made by a fan that looked like it fit the lyrics, but it wasn't available for embedding.

The Longest Day

Trailer for the classic movie, The Longest Day. One of my favorite war movies, it's chock-full of stars including Richard Burton, Sean Connery, Henry Fonda, Peter Lawford, Roddy McDowall, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, Rod Steiger, Stuart Whitman, John Wayne and many more.



Today is the anniversary of the Normandy landings in 1944, arguably the most important day of WWII. Touring the D-Day beaches is on my bucket list.

Music Album Cover Locations

As regular readers of this blog know, I'm a huge Google Earth fan. One of my favorite sites to which I subscribe via my Google reader is Google Earth Hacks, which posts interesting sites to visit via the GE application and also supplies the .kmz file for the location.

One of the latest posts has Music Album Cover Locations, places around the world where album covers were photographed.



Recognize the place? Perhaps the album cover insert (too small to be seen in the above screenshot) will give it away.



Yes, it's Abby Road in London, the street where the Beatles took the name for one of their most famous albums.

The .kmz file has many other great album covers and locations; some more Beatles records, as well as others from ABBA, Pink Floyd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elton John and more.
