Waiting for Tonight

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 to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Saturday 9: Waiting for Tonight (1999)

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

1) In this song, Jennifer Lopez anticipates a night of unbridled passion with the love of her life. What are you waiting for tonight? (No pressure; it doesn't have to be as thrilling as hers.)

Drew's birthday is tomorrow, so tonight we're going out to eat to celebrate the occasion.

2) She sings that she's glad she's beyond those nights that found her tossing and turning alone in her bed. Did you enjoy restful sleep last night?

I tend to be a restless sleeper lately.
 
3) Whatever Jennifer has planned for tonight, it won't include alcohol. She never drinks liquor. What's the last adult beverage you enjoyed?

I like my Prosecco,  though I don't indulge often.

4) Ms. Lopez performed "Waiting for Tonight" during last year's Super Bowl halftime show. Will you be watching The Big Game this weekend? 

I am not a football fan.  I'll find the commercials and the entertainment on YouTube later if anything sounds interesting.
 
5) Speaking of this weekend, The Weeknd will headline the Super Bowl 2021 halftime show. Are you a fan of his?

I don't even know who he is.

6) Super Bowl Sunday is the #1 day for guacamole consumption in the US. When did you most recently eat something with avocado in it?

Mexican food a few weeks ago, I had guacamole with dinner.

7) Chicken wings are a popular Super Bowl dish, too. When did you most recently eat chicken? How was it prepared?

I sautéed boneless chicken breast with vegetables and seasonings.

8) This year, fast food chain Chipotle will run their first-ever Super Bowl ad. Do you pay closer attention to commercials during the Super Bowl?

As I said, I'll find the good commercials on YouTube.

9) Random question: Are you more likely to pretend to be more naïve than you really are, or more sophisticated?

At my age I no longer pretend, but when I was younger...naïve suburban white girl pretending to be NYC sophisticate, that was me.

Now I ask my daughter-who-lives-in-Manhattan if I hear about something "cutting edge" ...

    Going out to eat....I am so jealous. Our restaurants are still shut down. I miss eating out the most in these crazy times....

    We're all big chicken eaters here at Sat 9. So far, no one has said, "I can't remember." I wonder if it's because chicken is so versatile, or so affordable ...

    Haven't been in a restaurant since March of last year. We have purchased carry-out, but not eaten inside. Instead we've had picnics in the car.

    Happy birthday to Drew! Enjoy your night out!
    I wonder how disappointed The Weekend would be to know none of us have a clue who he is?

    Happy Birthday to the Drew!
    I miss our family get-together on Holidays ..like everyone else in the group. Hopefully we will be through to the other-side of this pandemic by the end of summer.
    our restaurants opened then closed, but we are in a group that is challenged by age or condition, so we just get curb side delivery, about three times a week,from our favorites.

    I don't watch the game either. They just opened the restaurants for outdoor dining again. I still don't feel all that comfortable dining out, but takeout has gotten me through many many months.

    Happy birthday to Drew.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
