As the kids ran amuck around my desk, I checked my email one last time before heading to the park. There I saw an offer for this CD, which in my haste I thought had something to do with Star Wars, my six year old's latest obsession. Remembering that his birthday's coming up, and being in the midst of some strange, fleeting desire to accept every offer thrown my way, I agreed to receive a copy.Imagine my surprise when I received Unexpected Dreams, Songs From the Stars. This is a CD of quiet, lullaby-type songs sung by interesting vocalists such as:
• Scarlett Johansson
• Ewan McGregor
• Jennifer Garner
• Lucy Lawless
• Jeremy Irons
• John Stamos
• Julia Louis-Dreyfus
• Eric McCormack
• Teri Hatcher
For some reason I almost ripped the cardboard case getting the CD out and into my player. I mean, Elaine from Seinfeld, singing? Teri Hatcher? Mwahahahha!
After listening for a while, I reflected on these beautiful, talented actors, so rich and successful, and the depth of their talents goes farther than we even knew. They can sing, too!
I hate them all.
Bitterness and resentment aside, the music is quiet and comforting, the perfect CD to pop into your child's player as bedtime approaches. It's not my cup of tea, but it's not so bad. Plus you can make fun of Teri Hatcher and Jennifer Garner's singing. OK, OK, they sing fine. Bitches.
Want to win this CD? Leave a comment on this post between now and midnight on Sunday, EST. I will draw a name on Monday.

Teri Hatcher? Huh.
I wanna hear John Stamos. For some unexplained reason I was sad to find out that they canceld his "Jake in Progress" show. Yeah, like I said, "unexplained reason"... I too am baffled why I miss that show. Maybe it's because he's still easy on the eyes?
I have a feeling that even if Scarlett Johansson can't sing a note to save her life, most men would not care one bit.
