 An inspiration or a work in progress
 

Today I watched Flower Drum Song on TCM...

I had thought I had seen it before many years ago and thought the following song "Sukiyaki" - was in originally in it, but I was wrong. 

Does anyone remember the musical this song was featured in ? 

Recently I started redecorating my home.  After 22 years here, I feel like I am actually staying here.  It never felt like home to me before for various reasons.  Mostly because I felt I was 'too good for it'.  How sad, all of these years wasted not making my house a home.

Now I am making it my own.

MY bedroom, as I am often quoted as saying...as opposed to 'OUR' bedroom...is my next project.  It naturally or intentionally I should say, looks like an Asian inspired room with it's furniture a deep black laquer and mahogany (faux of course). 

 So I am going with the flow...

Any ideas would be appreciated for decorating...I have many which include one entire wall RED !  And of course tons of fire and water inspired accents, etc...Feng Shui.

Enjoy the following song by A Taste Of Honey....Sukiyaki !

 

 

 

It's all because of you, I'm feeling sad and blue
You went away now, My love is just a rainy day
I love you so, how much you'll never know
You've gone away and left me lonely

Unintentional memory Seemed to depart to me
Of love that's true
That one day turned my gray skies blue
But you disappeared
Now my eyes are filled with tears
I wishin you were here with me

Stop this love that I have for you
Now that you're gone I don't know what to do

If only you were here, You'd wash away my tears
The sun would shine and Once again you'd be mine
But in reality, I know it will never be
Cause you took your love away from me, .(.repeat this line)

 If you look hard enough, there is always reason to celebrate
 

"When you look hard enough, there is always reason to celebrate.

Look around a corner, under a book, into the face of a child.

Touch a memory stored in your mind and smile.

Count your blessings, beat it out on a drum.

Sing a song.

It's a good day to be alive, today

Rejoice"

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM 

 June 23

Magic, fairies, young lovers chasing each other through a forest, a man with a donkey's head, and impish Puck wreaking havoc right and left. What's going on here? It's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare at his most fanciful.

A Midsummer Night's Dream was first performed in 1595. Some have theorised that the play might have been written for an aristocratic wedding.

"Hold "The Great Party" on Midsummer's Night Eve tonight..
 
A Misummer's Night is the high holy feast of the Stillwaters, the mock New England sect imagined by author and illustrator Tasha Tudor.  Stillwater followers, believe that life's simple pleasures are meant to be savored and that Nature is to be revered.
 
The Stillwater religion, whicn combines the best beliefs of the Shakers, Quackers and Amish, is a 'state of mind' according to it's creator.

Stillwater connotes something very peaceful. Life without stress.

On Midsummer's Eve, the Stillwaters have a Great Party - plenty of music, dancing and a sumptuous summer supper. 

Their beliefs are very hedonistic. 

The first commandment of the sect is:

Take joy from each day.  Life is to be enjoyed. 

This is a catechism we should all embrace to experience Heaven on earth.

Legend has it that any woman who washes her face with the morning's first dew of Midsummer's Day will grow ever more lovely with the passing day."

Thanks for letting me know my post was all messed up Taylor.

I tried to cut and copy the Sundance Channel link...

Didn't work and can't edit it.
