Music Monday: Favorite Frank Sinatra Song Quotes

I’m not sure if I’ve done this before, but I was going through some old playlist and got to remembering. Yes, I love Fuel, The Police, Imagine Dragons, Hozier and some new/old stuff, but some of the time I switch to the old 1940-1960s song book of The Chairman of the Board, Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, Mr. Francis Sinatra. I am from New Jersey, so, yeah, natch, right? As a romance writer, it helps me get in the mood to write love scenes and the interaction of people becoming lovers when I listen to some of the great lyricists of the American Songbook. Those writers had a way of turning a phrase and of creating metaphors and similies that evoke the feeling of love, falling in love and being in love.

Gotham Recap – The Mask

Note: This is a quick slapdash, done on the fly. It most definitely contains errors, which will be fixed in the future. Thanks, though, for reading!

It’s pretty brutal and they are beating the crap out of each other using office supplies. The w inner hacks the loser with the blade from a paper cutter, the likes of which I haven’t seen in ages. Body on the docks. Nygma has all the answers and pulls a thumb out of the dead man’s mouth. Eck. Penguin stops some rich broad on the street and says she has a very nice brooch, and asks for it. Yeah. Next scene he’s giving the brooch to Fish and they seem to be playing nice with each other, but we know that’s a sham. Fish

Gotham Recap – Viper

Hello! Back again for the next episode of Gotham: Viper. The episode opens with Alfred asking young Bruce to go for a walk. As always, Bruce is concentrating on solving the murders of his parents and cares not for fresh air and sunshine. (I’m wondering, when does this little dude do his lessons? He seems to have an awful lot of free time.) Alfred then asks him what if he never solves the murder of his parents and thus never gets to seek revenge? Bruce has the answer right there and tells him that he doesn’t want revenge, but wants to understand how Gotham works. He wants to know why the mobsters are getting big shares of Arkham and why Wayne enterprises didn’t stop the corruption. Alfred doesn’t think it’s particularly healthy, but Bruce blows him off. Maroni is teed off at the news that he can’t mess with Falcone
