"Losing My Mind", Liza & The Pet Shop Boys

I forgot all about this strange but wonderful collab between Liza and the Pet Shop Boys. It's a haunting mix of orchestra and train wreck:

One Good Thing

I was working out in the garage/barn/nick-knack holder today, and I apparently had a visitor at the house. I only noticed when I saw their little gold car drive off. I didn't hear them drive up because I had my music on. When I went back to the house, I saw a track in the door. I knew exactly who had been there: the Jehovah's Witnesses. A religion I dumped when I was a teenager. I was so very happy I had missed their visit. You've no idea. I grew up with them. I probably knew the people in th...

I have to say that, yes, I admit to that particular gay stereotype. I love the woman. I was watching The Pirate, a 1948 film she made with Gene Kelly, and she looked radiant. But I have to say, my eyes were equally drawn to her handsome costar. That man fit his costume very well. Grrr. I feel a bit guilty being so turned on by him, but hey, Gene Ke...

Hot Shot: Regret

I saw a man this muscular once in an elevator in the Bahamas. He flirted with me! I was only 18 and didn't know what to do - I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn't act on it. Stupid, silly Eric.

I mean, c'mon! Look at that!
