Light Up The Sky


I'm thinking of starting all my posts with a song title that vaguely resembles my topic. See if you can guess the artist each day.

Ok, so speaking of lights, we bought new light fixtures for the kitchen, hallway and foyer. Got the main kitchen one done quickly. For those of you that don't have one yet, pick up one of those headset led lights. They're great for providing hands free light when you have the power off.

Anyway, the light we bought for over the sink is a pendant light. I had never hung one of those before so it was a little different. I kept screwing up the routing of the wires through everything and I was trying to rush so Cdubya could make dinner and that kept making it worse. 3 times I had to undo everything and re-route the wires again because I was being stupid.

Finally, I figured it out and got it all hooked up. I went downstairs and turned the breaker back on and I hear Cdubya go "Uh oh, it doesn't work." I'm like "sonofa! #$@#!$^1##!$!@#$@#" and as I'm walking up the stairs I see her standing by the WRONG light switch. I ask her if she bothered to try the RIGHT light switch. Of course, she realizes right away what she did wrong and tried the right one and it worked. I called it a night after that. The foyer light is the same pendant light so I should get that done quickly. The hallway light is a standard flush mount, again, really easy. Tonight I have a hair cut and then bowling so it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

We watched King of Queens from Monday on Tivo then 2 Scrubs and Boston Legal. Scrubs was pretty funny with Zach Braff's real life girlfriend Mandy Moore playing his gf on the show, only she was a total clutz. Of course, he found one other thing wrong with her that he couldn't deal with (she never laughed, just said "that's SOOO funny") so they broke up.

Boston Legal was pretty good, not great. Not enough Denny Crane, though his short appearances were quite funny.

Have a great hump day.

I finally figured out why I read this blog everyday...finding out that Adubya is getting a haircut tonight makes my life complete.

You're just jealous because I need a haircut...
No guess on the band?
I'll give you a hint. You would hear them on a classic rock station.

Sorry I missed that part...my guess is ELO.

My guess: The Fixx - Reds Skies at night

Someone's not listening. I posted the name of the song... "Light Up The Sky" is the name of the song, not Red Skies at night...

Here's another hint.
It was released in 1979, on the 2nd album for this band.

Dude! That's sung my Diamond David Lee Roth! A roomate used to have that album VHII along with every AC/DC album and import.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!
We have a winner.
It is in fact a song off of Van Halen II.
