*Thanks to Crazy Sam at the Saturday 9 for the music and questions!
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Selena Gomez sings about how eager she is to look good for her lover. What color do you look best in? I own a lot of black and would probably say that, but I also get compliments when I wear colors with cool tones...blues, purples, greens.
2) She compares herself to a diamond, which is the birthstone of people born in April. Do you know your birthstone? Is it a gem you often wear? My birthstone is the Peridot and no, I don't wear it very often. I have a good ring my parents bought me when I was in high school. I never wear it because it doesn't fit. I have a few pairs of earrings. I like a couple of those, but the rest are ones my mom gave to me because her sister gave them to her (Mom and I have the same birthday) and she didn't like them. Sometimes Peridot is pretty, but more often than not I think it's sort of a pale, blah color.
3) Selena Gomez is a successful singer who has appeared on the Billboard charts more than 30 times. She also has her own cooking show on HBO Max. In each episode, Selena invites a chef to help her master a new recipe. She says that, off camera, the dish she enjoys making most is spicy miso ramen soup. What's your favorite soup? Stuffed pepper soup.
4) She was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in the Hulu miniseries Only Murders in the Building. Have you streamed anything interesting lately that you would like to recommend to Sat 9ers? Ghosts on Paramount+, though I think it's still on CBS. It is irreverent and hilarious.
5) Selena Gomez provides the voice for Mavis Dracula, daughter of the Count, in the animated Hotel Transylvania movie and its sequels. In these family movies, Dracula and his family run a luxury hotel where monsters can vacation and get away from it all. The tone is similar to The Munsters and The Addams Family, TV shows from nearly 60 years ago. Caspar the Friendly Ghost has been entertaining children for generations. When you were a child, were you fascinated by ghosts, goblins, monsters and other such creatures? Very much so. As an adult I don't believe in them, but I still like the really silly movies like Abbot & Costello Meet the Mummy. I don't like true horror films at all.
6) Selena's busy schedule is especially impressive when you realize that she lives with lupus, a chronic condition that can affect the skin, joints and kidneys. She credits "diet, routine and medication" for helping her avoid flare-ups. Do you have any tips that might help us increase our productivity and efficiency? Nope. Do you have any for me?
7) In 2015, when this week's song was popular, Leonard Nimoy died. Without looking it up, do you know why he was famous? Of course, because he....lived long and prospered.
8) Also in 2015, NASA announced that water had been found on Mars. Do you follow news about science and space? I'm not a fanatic about it, but yes, I pay attention.
9) Random question: What was the best year of your life? 1984

Those were fun. I think the best year of my life was 1979. That's when I married Steve. Can't top that.
ReplyDeleteY'all stay warm and safe. I think this year is going to be a bumpy ride.
Blessings. xx
I felt funny trying to answer #6 because I really am such a slug!
ReplyDeleteI have become one lately. I've always procrastinated, but just can't seem to get myself up and moving without great effort in recent days.
DeleteHi Stacy. It's always fun to see how you answer the questions. 1984 was a good year for me too - that the year my second oldest daughter was born. Hubby and I have decided that the 1908s were our favorite decade, closely followed by the 90s. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. See you again soon.
ReplyDelete#3 We seem to have a lot of interesting soups.
ReplyDelete#6 I think COVID took a lot of initiative out of us.
I have an inordinate amount of black in my closet too, lol. I love the new blog, btw. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI wear mostly black too. It is more flattering to my lovely figure...hahhahha.
ReplyDeleteHey, if you try Mrs. Maisel. There is a scene in episode 1 that made me almost never watch again, but a friend convinced me to keep watching that it doesn't happen again. I think you would like it. It is so funny. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

Liked your answer to #7.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Peridot. I guess because I've never had to check on the birth stones for August.
The year you married. That's cool.
ReplyDelete#5--I feel the same. But those shows were so funny.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun nine! I am late getting around but enjoyed your answers. I wear a lot of black, too, but like reds and purples. Happy Sunday to you! xo
