Media music

Tonight I was playing some songs for the kids on the piano and they would guess what I was playing.

When I played the theme song for "PJ masks," one of them yelled, "Hey, it's the Skip Intro song!"

The intro song has become the skip intro song. Video streaming has redefined the role of music in media.

Good News Limericks in a Year of Bad News

Every cloud has a silver lining 73. April 22, 2024 During pilgrimage down to yon church,  My young kin all stopped with a lurch. "This tree in our gaze Has no sweet-smelling bouquets!" "Nay, tis the Bradford pear smirch." 72. February 10, 2024 When she saw the young back-country boarder, The cougar thought his flesh might reward her. He returned her attacks With his snowboard (new wax!) Now he's glad that his life is not shorter. https://ksltv.com/620892/cache-valley-man-fends-off-cougar-attack-with-his-snowboard/ (I've heard this might be a hoax, so maybe it didn't deserve a limerick. oh well.) 71. June 24, 2023 Like the floor near a food-dropping tot, The freeway was paved French fry hot. This megasized mess Was grating, yet we're blessed The mashed boxes held no missile plot. https://ksltv.com/560796/french-fries-scattered-across-i-15-after-semi-trailer-crash/?fbclid=IwAR3iA8jgYdXWZKRf5xsDG901_bC6r3B2KWRkX3EIxhhpE61TxxeBBdD-NWA 70.

The Parable in Frozen

During Christmas break, I had the chance to see Frozen. As far as Disney flicks go, this was pretty good. Many of the songs were catchy, the animation was gorgeous, and I was able to set aside my issues with pacing and development until the show was done. (Although, I do have to say, those trolls singing the fixer-upper song sure were annoying, especially because Anna needed help, not a musical number!) source There was one thing that really surprised me about the movie -- Elsa did nothing to save the day! If Anna had been a prince instead of her sister, then this would have been a typical damsel in distress story where the knight in shining armor swoops in and saves everything. As I thought about it, I realized that I appreciated it more this way because it was a story about sacrifice rather than good ol' teamwork. Although I doubt this was intentional, I was really struck by how this was a parable of the Atonement, with Elsa representing us and Anna representing Christ. ...

Nursing Mom Observes Monthly Fast

A Mormon mother in Ann Arbor, Michigan has found a suitable method of fasting -- abstaining from nutrition but not calories.

"If I were to participate in a traditional fast, I would abstain from calories, Vitamin C, calcium, and riboflavin, among other vitamins and minerals" she continued as she put two attached Twizzlers in her mouth. "Since I'm nursing, I can't abstain from calories, b...
