No aplogies for length... I could talk about All A Cappella on 88.9 wers all day long.

There is one reason that working on Saturday is somewhat redeemable. One perfectly pitched and vocally blended reason. And that reason is called All A Cappella Saturday on 88.9 wers. Yes you better believe it, I’m talking about a cappella music. And this delightful display of purely vocal talent airs on the radio no day other than Saturday! (Well it plays on Sundays too but that's beside the point.) Every Saturday I wake up angry that I do not get to sleep until the sunshine wakes me. Devastated that I cannot participate in a leisurely brunch where if I wanted I could mix things up with a mimosa on the side. And most of all truly pissed off that my morning coffee will have the aftertaste of work rather than the body of friendship and lingering notes of spontaneous weekend fun. BUT. Then I remember, all is right with the world because today is All A Cappella Saturday! Hey what a day!
I’m not sure what it was about this past All A Cappella Saturday; maybe it was the usual dynamic and peppy voices; perhaps it was the surprise riffs or perfect intonation; and most definitely it was the fact that the play list included Billy Jean-No Diggity medley and Mama Mia. But this Saturday’s a cappella combination put me in an impulsive mood and I naturally found myself at Target on my break. As I perused the aisles, something kept ringing in my ears “baba do bado bu doo”. Was that perfect intonation? Yes, yes it was. In the dress section the riff whispered “doo dabo buuuuy”. So I grabbed a summer dress despite the fact that outside it was 29 degrees. All throughout the store I was followed with a blend of riffs "ba da buuy doowa bubu buy!" which ultimately convinced me to buy a summer dress, coffee, a book, and some harry potter stickers. All my purchases have equally convincing rationalizations. A summer dress to trick my mind into warmness, coffee because... well coffee never needs rationalization, a book because it smelled good, and harry potter stickers... because harry potter is simply the best.
