Birthday- Saturday 9

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 memes, however, and here is today's meme.

BIRTHDAY (2014)

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

1) In this song, Katy Perry sings that she wants to give her lover something good to celebrate every day. What is making you happy this fine Saturday?  ummm  I am going to start finishing a sweater that has taken 10 years, so far, to get finished.

2) The video is all about baking a birthday cake. When did you most recently enjoy something home baked? Were you the baker?  I was the baker.  And it was probably the Christmas before last.

3) Tell us a memory from one of your birthdays.  My hubby and kids gifted me an antique crank sewing machine. 

4) This week's song shares nothing but the title with a Beatles song. (Here's a video of Paul McCartney performing it live.) Can you think of another title that's been used by more than one song?  Not at the moment.

5) Similarly, this week's featured artist was born Kathryn Hudson and called Katy Hudson until she changed her name to Katy Perry to avoid confusion with the actress Kate Hudson. Have you ever met anyone else with your same name?  Never have met them but they are out there.

6) Katy and actor Orlando Bloom became parents to a baby girl in 2020. Bloom is best known for his work in the Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Are you a fan of either of those film series?  I  am a fan of both of these series. 

7) In 2014, the year this song was popular, Prince William toured the United States and attended his first NBA game (Nets vs. Cavaliers). What's the most recent sporting event that you watched?  Basketball.  It's my favorite to watch and to play.

8) Also in 2014, Joan Rivers died. While best-known for making us laugh, she was a very successful entrepreneur, selling jewelry on QVC. Have you ever ordered anything from TV?

No.  I did win a KPBS Auction for piano lessons once.  The teacher was so much fun.

 

9) Random question -- Have you ever been told you talk too much?  Moi!?  lol No.. I am super quiet until it gets jokie and a little louder. and then I do join in a bit.
