How You Like Me Now?

Chosen by Just_Lin

I was looking through the TV Guide for the upcoming week and reading a section called "Cheers & Jeers". In that section, they point out things that happened during the previous week of programming which they feel were especially good or especially bad. Well, one of the "Cheers" was for the performance of the British band, The Heavy, on The Late Show with David Letterman. As they put it, the band blew the roof off! Their performance inspired a Late Night first.....David requested an encore. I happened to watch the show that night and I have to agree. I was up and dancing even if it was 12:30 a.m. I love the sound of this band. I hope you enjoy it, too.

J/L Fantastic! I am a sucker for a good Horn section! This bands is out of this world! Great energy and driving beat and a soul twist! Everyone can have a good guitar player but sax and trumpet come on!

Jodi said...

SLIN - I really enjoyed this band...I had never heard of them, so thank you for the introduction. I agree with LYNN....sucker for a fab horn section!!!

Good morning LYNN & BONACHICHI!!!

Jodi said...

Sorry I haven't been around much, but after going back to work on Tuesday, I'm basically exhausted, but in a GOOD way!!!

CAROL - I could've used your pillow to STOMP last night. ;)

My arm is feeling stronger everyday. I've been "dangling" it 2-3 times a day. I'm determined not to let my shoulder get frozen up, and will do anything to make physical therapy go as well as possible!! Which I start tomorrow after work.

Thanks again to all my friends...you have really made a difference in my recovery!!! Oh, and I must say, aside from the little old lady that makes coffee at my store, not ONE person in my "real life" sent me a card or even called to check on me!!! Ok, GOLDIE....you are sooooooo a part of my life now, but I was referring to the people that I work with, school friends and my relatives.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday!!!

Jodi said...

DIANNE - I hope you find some relief soon. MUAH!!!

Jodi said...

TINA - Totally forgot that I have a wedding to go to next weekend....sure could use a "fancy" sling.....ijs!!! ;)

Wow, great vid!

Jodi said...

TINA - And as far as my fav American Idol moment this season, I'm total smitten with Andrew Garcia from the LA auditions!!

night.owls.sb said...

Jodi..

Work is exhausting to begin with, and then you have to top it off with a booboo on your arm..

Hang in there.. all will be back to normal soon..

You are very special, thats why we your serial killer friends love you!

:O)

Jodi said...

Good morning CAROL!! Are you having cawfee yet? :O)

Jodi said...

CAROL - Thanks for the smile....lol @ serial killer friends!!!

night.owls.sb said...

I am so sad I have not seen AI, I really need to try and watch it this week, I can't chat about it to anyone cause I don't know whats going on.. :(

night.owls.sb said...

Yes, JodiHO! I am drinking my cawfee now, I am @ work, lots of catching up to do.. I will be here most of the day..

Its all good tho, it means I am busy!

:O)

Jodi said...

GOLDIE - Sending prayers to your sister's family...especially your nephew. I'm sure he is in the best possible place right now. Muah!!!

Jodi said...

CAROL - I'm glad that your business is thriving right now, but sucks that you have to catch up on a Sunday. I've already done dishes, now on to the laundry. :O)

Jodi said...

I'll BBL.....:o)

Zona said...

J/LIN: I've never heard of this band..I really liked them though! I turned on the vid and my toe started tapping..then my fingers started snappin'..and before I knew it I was in full be-bop! Thanks for getting me movin' this morning!

LYNN: Congrats on FIRST! I have to clean up my island today..I have a feeling everything croaked..wanna come over and help? ;)

JODI: He's been behavin'..but he doesn't like it!!

CAROL: I'm glad to hear that your business is doing great again!

Good Morning BEBBI and BONACHI!

Zona said...

Thanks everyone for your concern for Mr Z. He worked 12 hour days last week..and now he's paying for it. His hand swelled up to twice it's normal size and he was hurting bad on Friday. We weren't sure if he was going to have to go back to the ER yesterday. I told him to just rest..and then we'd see how everything was today. His hand looked a lot better this morning..and he says it doesn't hurt nearly as much..thank goodness. Trying to get him to just sit around and watch TV was a fulltime job though..geez.

He goes to see the doctor tomorrow morning..hopefully when the bandages come off..his finger will be healing nicely. It's been kind of scary not knowing what's happening under those bandages though..

Zona said...

TINA: The only part of AI I've seen is "Pants On the Ground" (sorry MARY) and that was on FB..I had every intention of watching it from start to finish this year..but once again..I just never turned it on. One of these days though..

CAROL: I don't think I did any complaining yesterday..Mr Z did enough for both of us..in fact..he complained enough for everyone in the nest! Drove me bananas..but I was very patient..cuz I knew he was just frustrated and in pain. It wasn't easy though..lol..

I've been out in the garage trying to locate the source of the fuel smell that started this whole mess. I'm moving boxes and totes..and it drives him crazy that he has to watch me hauling all this stuff around and can't help. We still don't know what the problem is! Every cleaning and car product is out of there..and it still smells like a gas station. It's giving us headaches both literally and figuratively!

MO: I tried the baking soda..no go..it's still bad..

I'm out of ideas..and I'm exhausted..can anyone help?

Zona said...

GOLDIE: I will be praying for your nephew. I hope your toe is feeling better!

DIANNE: I sure hope the pain from your tooth is easing and that you'll be completely painfree soon!

JODI: I know I've said it before..but you continue to amaze me!! Good luck tomorrow with your first session of PT!

SACBARB: Hopefully you'll be able to give 'the Boot' the boot soon!

I'm going to check my farms..and then it's back out to the garage..I swear..I'm going to find out what's going on out there if it's the last thing I do!! :D

Lynn D said...

Jodi Love ya!

Zona do you have a lawn mower, leaf blower or any kind of equipment that runs on gas? If you check them, they may have a leak. Can't think of anything else. I did help you on your island I revived your dead crops. :)

Hi Bebbi!

Carol I have decided my paperwork can just wait. I need one day.

Jodi said...

ZONA - Thanks....but just not letting this damn thing get me down. Period. Tell MR. Z good luck at his appt tomorrow.

Jodi said...

LYNN - ♥ u more!!!

DeeDee said...

Good Morning all!!

That group is great! Love the brass! I miss a lot on tv unless I know its happening.....except those that list who is on like SNL...LOST is starting the final season with 3 hours of it Tuesday night....and isn't that AI night?

I know I know.....my lips are swollen.....I was going to say Lynn D slapped the shit out of me but thats not true.....Carol said I looked like Roseanne Barr so I thought I would try something different......

My doctor has changed my anti anxiety/depression drug to super heavy duty Pristiq..for awhile..you know...with Lisa sick and all....I love the change...I am so chilled out......

Doc says you can really be stressing and not know until you get a symptom of it....and I don't want that....I have had a major heart attack and consequent surgery and I sure as hell don't want to do that again....

I really have stress on my mind this morning....I was thinking about it when I dropped cigarette ashes in my banana split I was having for breakfast....I know what you're thinking.....and you are right....

MORE STRESS!!

night.owls.sb said...

OMG Dee, now your Rosanne Barr with Lisa Rinna Botox!

LOL

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

Sorry about Mr Z.. he is so much like me, I would have went to work to and put way to much hrs in. He def needs to rest.. but I know its hard.. Thinking of you and Mr Z..♥♥

night.owls.sb said...

Lynn..

I kept putting off my paper work and knew I needed today to do it.. I got a lot done so far.. but I think I am going to head out soon to enjoy the sunlight.. Its chilly here in NJ.. but the sun is def out!

night.owls.sb said...

Is anyone going to watch the grammys tonite? I am going to, I might flip the channels a bit, but I am looking forward to see the Black Eyed Peas.. I saw them on CBS this morning, and it made me like them more..

Ok.. see you all later..

Just_Lin said...

Hi, HOoters! I'm glad you enjoyed the music today. It got me smiling and dancing to hear it again.

LynnD Congrats on being the first heathen in the nest today. LOL @ stealing from Shirley.

Bonach Happy Sunday to you, too. Happy Sunday to you, too. ;)

Jodi I'm so glad your arm is feeling better. I hope things go super well tomorrow at PT. xoxo

Bebbi I wish I was as motivated to exercise as you are. Maybe if I just played this kind of music all day, I'd at least move around more.

Carol I hope you're out there enjoying some sunshine. LOL @ Lisa Rinna's lips! Not sure if that would be Botox of collagen.

Zona Mr. Z is being a bad boy to overdo. He needs a time out. LOL I hope you solve the mystery in the garage soon. Is it a gasoline or turpentine type smell of a gas line type smell? Make sure to check any old, used rags that may be out there, too. They can actually self combust witht he right stuff on them.

DeeDee Please tell me you aren't really still smoking after having a heart attack and surgery. The banana split is fine in my book....fruit and dairy. :)

bonachichi said...

Isn't Bon Jovi playing at the Grammys tonight? My DAD wants to see them.

Oh, Lord DeeDee! I accepted an IP gift from you and what the HELL was that? I hate to tell you this woman, but your face is melting straight off your head.

whabbear said...

I HATE getting cigarette ash in my banana splits!

Jodi said...

CAROL - Thanks for the Grammy reminder. I probably won't see the whole thing, but will definitely tune in as I fall asleep!!

DEE DEE - Thanks for the makeover!! FABULOUS!!!

SLIN - Thanks....I know it's going to be a pain, but so worth it!!!

WHABBY - Your makeover was by far THE BEST!!!

Jodi said...

CORRECTION....I'll be switching between the Grammy's and the Pro Bowl!!!

Mary/MI said...

Happy Sunday everyone!

LynnD, congrats on your #1 heathen accomplishment!

Dinner is done,dish washer packed,clothes washed dried & put away & I am about to check on my farms & island, then on to my exercise bike.

I think a banana split sounds good after my exercising lol!!

Zona, there are a lot of nerves on the end of his finger, very sensitive! I used to sew car seats at Chrysler trim, (Corinthian leather lol). I was always sewing the ends of my fingers! OUCH!

Jodi,you are one tough cookie with a super humongous heart :)

Carol, glad your business has picked up.

JL,I'm with the other gals, I love me a horny section ;-)
I did love the group. Thanks for bringing my attention to them.

Bebbi, thanks for getting my keester going lol!!

Dee Dee, your lips working overtime lately?

Whabby, are those
special cigs" you are smoking??

Bonnachichi,you need to get more stuff on your Island for us to steal! ijs

Jodi said...

MARY - awwww....why thank you!!! ♥

Zona said...

I've got the garage 2/3 cleaned out..and I'm pooped! We still don't know what the heck is causing the smell..but I've washed all the surfaces I can for today..and opened the backdoor to air everything out. Hopefully that will help.

LYNN: The leaf blower and edger are electric..so is the chainsaw..scary that we own a chainsaw..isn't it? The only thing that runs on gas..besides Mr Z..is the lawnmower..and that's in the backyard.

Thank you for putting the passion back in my passionfruit.. :)

CAROL: I just came in from the garage and caught Mr Z doing paperwork! He's not suppose to be writing..just watching TV..yet he can't seem to help himself!

JODI: Did you get your 3-D glasses for the Grammy's? I wonder if they'll work for the Pro Bowl too..ijs.. ;)

J/L: The house is all electric..so it's some kind of fuel or additive for the car. I just threw out all the old rags..thanks for the heads up!!

DEEDEE: Everytime I go see my doctor he warns me how dangerous stress can be..of course that just stresses me out more..lol..

MARY: He says it feels like there are electrical shocks going through his finger..that's when it's not throbbing instead! Evenso..he won't just rest..arrgghh..!!

HI BEAR! :D

Looks like I'm making Sloppy Joes for dinner..thanks again JODI! :)

Jodi said...

ZONA - You're welcome....hopefully MR. Z never reads the recipe!!! ;) Ask him if I need to SNAP him, too!!!

Dianne/Denver said...

ZONA: I think MrZ was writing me a letter j/s. You might need to get your sister or someone over to get another set of eyes on that garage. If you send me a plane ticket, I will be glad to come and check it out.

J/L: Nice song...I must have missed Letterman that night..thanks for showing us.

I ventured out to the cheap movie last night to see Brothers and it was pretty good. We also went to a little new cafe right by the movie and was able to eat on the right side and took a milkshake into the movie with me. Today...did nothing but getting ready to drink a Starbucks (thanks to my sweet little hubby) and watch the Pro Bowl. Guess I will have to record the Grammy's at least until he falls asleep.

Congrats on first LYNN and glad you decided to rest today.

TINA: I am going to work on writing that blog this week...I promise.

Well, it sounds like it is almost kick-off. Bye

night.owls.sb said...

Watching the Grammys.. I will give no spoilers.. just what has wowed me..

and the opening number def wowed me..

night.owls.sb said...

I was wowed again..

wow oh wow

bonachichi said...

Zona, please be careful with that gasoline smell... My nephew was doing some work for me and he decided to clean some engine parts with gasoline. Then he plugged a machine in and WHOOOMMPP!! My nephew and his buddy came running out of the garage (minus an eyebrow or two), then I heard a fire estinguisher and an angry German voice. That was Granat, the owner of the garage and he is indeed German. I asked him what he was yelling about and he said, "I vas telling ze leetle sheets to come back and feenesh blowing zemselves UP".

Anyway, if you smell gas, there are fumes in your garage. Even an electrical arc can spark and it is not a good sound when the fumes ignite. Also, people look funny without eyebrows.

bonachichi said...

My island is almost naked because my little person got stuck. It couldn't move. So I started deleting things. Then my person had a sex change, I didn't recognize the island, my cat turned into a dog and everything was in French. I used seeds to write FUCI in the field because I ran out of room and couldn't finish the K.

I am still recovering from that fun, yet disturbing episode.

DeeDee said...

lol at Whabbear.....

Jodi I need a better pic of you... straight on....bigger....and the outcome will be better.....your welcome.....

Dianne....working on ya!

J/L....I never was a regular smoker but I even stopped "social smoking" back when it was acceptable about 30 years ago....I do buy them when my family is going to be around...keeps them away from me.....
I said that about the ashes and banana split to be funny....I am diabetic.....so with that...my heart and high BP and Mineres Disease....I can't have anything thats good.

Bonachichi.....what in the world are you talking about? My face is melting....?? Do you not like my Jolie lips.....?


"I vas telling ze leetle sheets to come back and feenesh blowing zemselves UP".

LMAO!!!

night.owls.sb said...

omg.. triple wow.. I am speechless..

night.owls.sb said...

Bonacci..

LOL.. on your island.. :O)

DeeDee said...

roflmao.....bonachichi....stop it....ur killing me.....omg thats funny.......

"my person had a sex change" and everything was in french.....i haven't laughed so hard in months.......!!!

night.owls.sb said...

Zona..

A worker is a worker.. Mr Z can't stop, he feels the need.. Perhaps its better he keeps busy.. and about the smell.. LOL on Mr. Z

Dianne/Denver said...

DEE DEE ...YOU can still have sex...now about that young guy...are you ready to go and visit him yet?

bonachichi said...

I told Tina what happened on my island and she thought I'd taken drugs.

DeeDee my dear... We could have you lick your lips then stick you to a window. I would like to duct tape that one eye open. How can you see?

On the other hand, that's some impressive graphic design. I'm going to sneak and look at other pics.

Dianne/Denver said...

Now I love bon jovi like the rest of u but jennifer nettles with him--not so much. This must have be ur doing TINA

night.owls.sb said...

dianne..

I like Jennifer with Jon, I think they do that song very well..

But Jon is still the best...

Dianne/Denver said...

CAROL: I just don't care for Sugarland (Jennifer) voice on any song. I think she is cute but just don't like her to talk or sing. I really loved mary blige and Andrea Bocelli. I love him to listen to and look at too

Dianne/Denver said...

One more grammy thing---I love song of the year---Put a ring on it or maybe it's called Single lady or something

Mary/MI said...

Diane,"Single Lady". I know cuz I have had to play it at many weddings and Karaoke parties. I got tire of that and "I kissed a friken girl" lol!
Nite all!

Just_Lin said...

DeeDee Thank your clarifying that for me. I'm never sure where the line between fact and fiction lies with you but it's always fun trying to figure it out.

Dianne I didn't like Mary with Andrea. I know a lot of people think she's great but I didn't think she was any match for the talent, strength and beauty of Andrea's voice.

Mary Congrats on 69!

Dianne/Denver said...

J/L: Did you ever hear or see them together at Christmas singing? They were on Oprah and I would imagine you coule utube it too. I think it was What Child Is This...I thought they did great then too. Maybe I just like him so much that anyone could sing with him....not TINA...BUT anyone else.

BTW, I had singing voicemail a couple of days ago from TINA>..very thoughtful but can I just say that I took two perocets right away...

Just_Lin said...

Dianne LOL @ Tina's singing! What did the dentist say and/or do for you?

Just_Lin said...

Sweet dreams, HOoters. I'm glad you enjoyed the music vid. I hope everyone has a good Monday.

That reminds me, I better go get the garbage out before I forget.
