3 videos of 80's songs you've forgotten about and should remember:Method of Modern Love (Oates' performance from 0:46 to 1:01 is poetic and eternal... and then it's all Hall - clumsy dancing and perfect singing. And you'd figure Oates would be upset - he hardly gets any screen time. UNTIL... the 4:47 mark and you see him smile like a child because they let him fly through the clouds. The smoking saxophone is pretty cool too.)
Perfect Skin (black shirt + white pants = the desire not to smile)
My Ever Changing Moods (yes, those are bicycles and that's a countryside)

Y = A + BX + E AT -What does it mean?
P.S. I loved seeing Miracle Mile with you last night.
That's just my new "name"
It's temporary
It's the formula for "simple linear regression"
where:
y = predicted score
a = intercept (or the value of the predicted score, assuming the predictor is zero)
b = predictor
x = person or person's score
e = error
Essentially, it says that, in research or testing, the value of a person's score on a variable (like a test) is a function of that variable's mean (or average) and one or more predictors (in this case, we just have one predictor) and measurement error. I'll explain more later, in private.

I wanted to use Greek letters but the blogger program won't let me. Plus, it turns my lower case letters into uppercase. So I may change my "name" to something else.
As a once long time reader and fan of your blog, and then not so much in recent months, but now your newest avidest reader, I can see you're still obsessed with Hall and Oates. Good for you. Is it me or is Oates rather Princelike? What with his wee creepy stature and silky haired chest.
I appreciate that you're so shameless about listening to H&O. ;-)
sinter klaus: I think that a gay porno starring Prince and Oates would be, well, utterly creepy. In a totally awesome way! LOL)
