Just another one of my great ideas

November 19th, 2008

I got a great idea yesterday and I’ve been on the verge of giddy, waiting for an empty house to take advantage of it.

Since everything has taken a turn for the digital, we don’t have a formal stereo anymore. All music here is played on iPods or through crappy computer speakers.

Enter light bulb moment. (Oprah talks about them all the time.)

The sound system hooked up to our family room TV will be an ideal place to play some music. There’s a woofer there, people, a WOOFER! (Whatever a woofer is.) Or maybe it’s a sub-woofer, but that makes it sound like less of a woofer and I’m pretty sure that this is one fierce woofer. After all, we bought it on clearance at Circuit City.

The CD is being burned as I type.

The house is empty except for one small dachsund who has been sworn to silence.

The volume level has been determined: 61.

The role of Beyonce this afternoon will be played by me.

    Is your husband very tech savvy? I am NOT at all, but husband is a sort of techno savant. In any case, there is a way to get your computer music to play through your living room equipment I think using iTunes or something. I really don’t know. So why am I commenting? That, I don’t know either.

    Just know it’s a possibility.

    I just re-read what I wrote. I sound dumb.

    Disclaimer: It’s 2 AM.

    I meant to add stuff about asking your husband if he knows anything about it or could help you figure it out, etc. And I was in no way bragging about my husband; I just meant to say that he figured out a way so I know it exists. OK, I am done. And tired.

    Yeeeaaah! Were high kicks involved?

    I wish I would’ve been there…I’m pretty booty-licious.

    That is awesome. I tend to have some pretty epic dance sessions to loud music when I’m doing chores.

  11. John says:

    Life needs a soundtrack! Let the music play.

  12. Angie says:

    I for one would love to see the jiration of those hips dancing to “single ladies”. Move over Beyonce’.

  13. Tiburon says:

    I don’t think your video loaded.

    Try again. ;)

    I have had Put A Ring On It in my head for 10 days–since SNL last week. Can I come over and play the background dancer in your show?
