Bad Songs in Good Films
Don’t you love it when a song, one you’ve forgotten, one that's stale, so old-fashioned that it will never be listened to again, makes an appearance in a film or TV show...and by blending with the show's plot is just totally AWESOME?

A Tingle in Time
The night is alive and full of promise. I walk toward the quay and the crowds. Something will happen tonight that will pull my life toward its destiny. With a sense of destiny, feeling the tingle of the chill breeze, I watch the people stroll past, knowing they are part of this special moment. My aunt had schizophrenia, does it feel like this? She often came to our door at 3am with 'messages'. Am I her? I should go home until this feeling goes away. On the way, just in case, I keep my eyes open for anyone special.

Final Descent to Anchorage
As the plane approached 10,000 feet, Beth hung up the phone call from her husband mid-conversation. He mentioned he had something important to say, but whatever it was, it would have to wait. Nothing, not even a death in the family, could interfere with FAA regulations to maintain a sterile cockpit below 10,000 feet.

Amber
If walls could talk Amber Harbridge wouldn’t be lying dead on my carpet. Even if I had vocal cords underneath my Benjamin Moore 1960's Mustard Yellow exterior, I don’t think I could have not talked Jake out of his crime of passion or convinced Amber not to tell Jake she needed to break up with him to focus on her marriage. Amber was too honest and straightforward of a person.
