Wordless Wednesday's Wandering Walk

Well, dammit. There's a word. I screwed up. So, this is a tree... in case you were wondering.

And because it is necessary...

David Bowie has known all along.

Chinese State Television and David Bowie

Today I learned that China's state television has the same acronym as closed-circuit television. And this is how.

China's national news program is using Top Gun as military footage. Are they lazy? Is it indicative that they don't have a military? Of course it isn't the first time this has happened.

25 years. I loved this movie then, I love it now, cheese and all.  I was scared of intimidated by this guy while still attracted as hard as a six-year old can be:

Any man who can be a pretty pretty princess is a cuddlybuddly man. 

Six Year Old Me: "Yo Val Kilmer, I'm really happy for you, imma let you finish, but Tom Cruise is going to have the better career. THE BETTER CAREER!"

I think I made the right choice. And this love affair has lasted for 25 years. I'd like to thank my mom for renting that damn movie over and over, along with Top Gun, The Neverending Story and the cartoon about the spacebear named Teddy. Oh, and the Care Bears movies also.

I went to a karaoke night here when we first arrived...oh, I'd say within the first few weeks. I sang David Bowie songs. I rock 'China Girl' and 'Suffragette City' every chance I get. I wouldn't say it went over well; the regulars liked my version of  'Mack the Knife' best and even then it was only a lukewarm clapping.

I haven't been back since.
