Saturday:9 Time....

Viva la Vida

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Viva la Vida (2008)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) The song refers to the singing of choirs. Have you ever been in a choir or a vocal group?  Yes, high school chorus.  Second alto and/or first tenor. 

2) Chris Martin sings of when he "ruled the world." If you were in charge and had infinite power, what would you change right away?  There isn't enough space here to even make a short list, but bringing God back to the forefront would be the starting point.  We don't have a problem with guns or diversity.  We have a problem with evil overtaking good.  Souls are being lost.

3) Chris used to be married to actress Gwyneth Paltrow. USA Today, The Washington Post and The Daily Telegraph have all run articles about how Gwyneth seems to annoy so very many people. What celebrity gets on your nerves?  Most all of them.  I used to really like Oprah.  Can't stand her now.

4) Coldplay's first big hit was, "Yellow." What color are you wearing right now?  A very bright peachy-orange top with white jeans.

5) Sam remembers when she used to hear this song everywhere and can't believe that was 7 years ago! When is the last time you had a similar "my, how time flies!" moment?  Oh my, I have those moments several times a week.  Seriously.

6) In 2008, when "Viva la Vida" was popular, John Grisham's latest legal thriller, The Appeal, was jumping off bookshelves. What have you read this summer?   I have been reading the Penn Cage mysteries by Greg Iles.  They are very long (800+pages). I'm a quarter into the 4th book.  They take place in Natchez and along the Mississippi River.  Lots of history, prejudice, murder, dirty politics, the KKK, prostitution, kidnapping, did I mention murder?...these books have it all, including a love story and Penn's sweet little girl.

7) Thinking of books: Let's say a biographer has taken the task of writing your biography. What would you title your life story?  Read This So You Can Go To Sleep....

8) 2008 is also the year Paul Newman died of cancer. Name a Newman movie.   Well, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was my first thought, but Road to Perdition was an excellent movie.

9) Random question: Do you like garlic?  I LOVE garlic. Yes.
