Most recent missive from madame Editrix suggests that BURNING BRIDGES may be out in May, not June. Nor July, as originally originally scheduled.

Urrr?

Updates if they happen.

Copyedit ETA Friday morning. Guess I know what my plans for this weekend are, then.


And in other news, there is no other news. Yet. *twitches* *glares in various directions* Have I mentioned recently how very very bad I am at waiting? Not a patient meerkat, no.


And because it's not sundry without a random meme...

The No. 1 song on your 18th birthday is said to be your life's theme song. Go to this link, type in your month, day and year of your 18TH BIRTHDAY! Don't type in your date of birth, as it requests, instead type in the date of your 18th birthday.


The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis & The News

The power of love is a curious thing
make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
more than a feeling, that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
make a bad one good make a wrong one right
power of love that keeps you home at night

You don't need money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong and it's sudden and it's cruel sometimes
but it might just save your life
That's the power of love
That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go'round

...They say that all in love is fair
yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
when it gets hold of you
and with a little help from above
you feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
Can you feel it ?
Hmmm...

It don't take money and it don't take fame
don't need no credit card to ride this train
Tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
you feel the power, just feel the power of love
That's the power, that's the power of love
You feel the power of love
you feel the power of love
feel the power of love


*glares at song.* "Material Girl" would have been so impossible?

I got "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. Not a bad song, but I could have sworn I was younger than 18 when Bon Jovi ruled the airwaves.

"Song Sung Blue" by Neil Diamond. Not so much. NOT what I was listening to in 1972. And anyway, if they were picking a Neil Diamond song for my soundtrack, it would have to be "Play Me".

I am also twitching with the waiting. Gah.

Rivers Of Babylon – Boney (UK)
If I Can’t Have You - Yvonne Elliman (USA)

I don't even remember the USA title. Is the singer the one who played Mary Magdeleine in JC Superstar?

RIvers of Babylon I didn't discover until I began hitting the Gay bars in Lille with a friend. Great song.

Yep, she was the one. And I'm fairly certain that was the USA title also.

Theme song for my life? I don't THINK so...

August 31, 1986: I turned 18, and "Venus" by Bananarama was at the top of the US charts.

I'm thinking this meme has something wrong with it...

The UK charts ain't much better:

"I Want To Wake Up With You" by someone named Boris Gardiner, who I haven't heard of, I don't think.

Ain't that a depressin' thought.
