iPod Essentials #38: "Georgy Girl"--The New Seekers

I was thrilled when iTunes finally released this song. It's the theme song to one of my favorites movies, Georgy Girl. It's also the name of my five-year-old Siberian husky. When I adopted her last year, the rescue facility had named her Peanut, of all things. I looked at her, and the line, "There's another Georgy down deep inside" kept running through my mind.

Sure enough, Georgy has proven herself to be a great dog, though she has a couple of odd quirks about toys. She's so happy and strong. Not a Peanut.

This song is inspirational and tells the story of the film in two minutes.

Resolutions

Shame on me. It's been over a month since my last posting. English teachers don't have lives during their semesters due to papers, papers, exams, more papers, and final grades.

In 2008, I resolve to find a small publisher or a literary agent for my latest Quinn manuscript, which is floating around in Agentspace. I will complete and market my newest manscript (almost done). I will find a better-paying B Job. Part-time community college teaching is just not working out anymore since life in So Cal is now too damn expensive, and this country is heading toward a recession.

On the personal front, I will reach my goal weight with Weight Watchers. (The program does work as long as you track your points.) I will stay healthy and strong with exercise and stress reduction. I will go to Peru for ten days in July. (My passport and I haven't been out of the country in two years!) Despite life's challenges, I will try to remain positive.

Oh, yeah, I also resolve to blog more frequently.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
