  • Does anyone want some cat stew???

    ARRRGHHH!!!! The cat just knocked over two shelves of books, trying to climb the bookcase--I just straighted all the books....(more whingning)....Gaaah!!!! I think I'll go stand in the hot sun for a half hour, and wait for the stinking bus, grumble, grumble, grumble....

  • Hi-ho, off to work...

    Off to two hours of hell...erm--telemarketing. Then, bus to the store...or maybe Lake George laundromat. With only $66 as my total net worth until next Friday, have to do my laundry on the cheap again, which means taking a trolley to Lake George, as opposed to a cab to South Glens Falls, to save $6 for other things.

    I'll need 18 dollars for cab fare to go get my shots this week, Then there's cat food, bin bags, milk and other necessities..$66 bucks doesn't go very far, in a recession, let me tell you.

    So, I'm off to work. I hoe you all have a good Saturday, and I'll "see" you on here, tonight. Cheers.

  • Two complements in one day...I'm...well, wow.

    Wow, after a lousy start this morning, my day seems to be picking up a little. I've had not one, but TWO complements in regards to my writing abilities today.

    I deeply regret not being able to finish my education in regards to writing. I do truly believe that I am only average, and hardly ever get any feedback in regards to my essays, poems, plays and fan-fiction...which leads me to the logical conclusion that my writing is..average. Not bad enough for someone to dis, not good enough for positive review..which is fine. I'd rather be an average writer than a bad writer, any day....I mean that, I'm not just saying it to be humble or anything like that.

    Well, anyway, one nice person said that she thought that the way I wrote my Who-fic stories, was "just like watching the series", and the other said I was a pretty good writer, and well...I'm a little taken aback. Wow. Not used to complements, I'm going to beat back my ego now, with a stick, ha-ha.

  • The Old Maid's a Romantic....Silly confessions Part I

    Yeah, I've never been in love, only danced with a boy a couple of times in my life, never been kissed...but doesn't mean I've never thought about it.

    I think my ultimate (non-sexual) fantasy, is probably waltzing under the moon to a fiddle tune...like this one, one of my all-time favourite fiddle tunes, "The Lover's Waltz," Played here by Catskill mountain (NY state) folk musician Jay Unger, backed up by Molly Mason on piano:

    Jay Unger is one of the best fiddle players in the USA. The man picks up a fiddle, and he just makes me melt! I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to hear him play every once in a while, on the public radio station out of Albany, NY, WAMC, on programmes like "Dancing on the Air," and "Hudson River Sampler." He's just...awesome.

  • Not Blogging David Tennant...

    Well, you know, I do believe besides backing off from Doctor Who, that it may be time to step away from teasing David Tennant so much....David Tennant's blog...oh brother...riiight.

    Yeah, some famous millionaire/actor that's about to play one of the most important stage roles of all time, all week long (or nearly so, I guess), has got time to blog....I mean, the man probably doesn't even READ blogs, let alone keep one.

    And, let's face it: unless you keep every post private, or for friends only, a blog is the last place on earth where one can expect to keep one's private life, absolutely private. Unless he uses an assumed name, and/or someone else's computer or hides his IP address, I doubt that Tennant would do something as daft as blog or use Facebook or whatever, himself.

    And, WHY would David Tennant read my blog? That's just...silly.

    Common sense, people. Get off yer' sofas and get your bums outside, see the REAL world, for a change!

    Sheesh!!!

    Is he wearing a boa, or has his back hair REALLY gotten out of control? :))

  • Well, at least I got a laugh this morning...David Tennant's blog, gwan' wi'ya!

    I got this comment in an old post from last year about David Tennant or Doctor Who or whatever...

    hi iam a great fan is this david actual blog!?

    Aaaannnnd, my response to that:

    Get serious, ha-ha!

    Between being a ham---erm, I mean being Hamlet, and chasing after the girls, spending hours making his hair look sexy, not to mention farting and belching and scratching himself--and all that other manly Scottish stuff, when would the poor wee boy ever have time to blog?

  • Not such a good morning for me

    Well, I overslept by over an hour--forgot to put my alarm on, last night. Argggh!

    And, my arthritis is so bad for some reason, that it's literally taken me over half and hour, just to use the can opener to open my cat's tin of food---I've had to listen to a chorus of very upset cats, in the meantime. I put some arthritis rub on my hands, so hopefully that will help. Got it in my knees this morning, as well.

    And, my computer did something weird, and I don't like it when my computer does something weird...got enough problems without my computer going wonky, as well. Fixed it, but the last commenter is right, tonight I will attempt to run a virus scan, and run my spyware removal programme for good measure.

    And, I have to work two hours today...after I go to the shop to cash my check and get cat food. I have to leave in an hour, and I don't feel like going anywhere but back to bed, as I am extremely weak this morning, for reasons unknown.

    I've decided not to do that whole random essays thing...that essay I wrote last night was such incredible rubbish, that I deleted it this morning.

    I deleted the David Tennant quiz as well, as I thought that was even worse rubbish. I've noticed that I've been posting a lot of rubbish on my blog of late, starting to wonder if, like with my Dr Who obsession, I need to back away from blogging for a bit. I need to think about that.

    Ah well, a hot sunny Saturday, in Glens Falls, NY. Let me amend that: A hot, sunny, boring Saturday in Glens Falls, NY.

    Have a good day, all.

  • Dr Who Xmas '08 surprise? (Spoiler)

    Well, you've had your warning. I wish I'd had a warning, before I watched the second video of Xmas special filming pics.

    But no. Now, I already know about the C______ in the C_____, thanks to the forums and other sources--none of whom EVER give you spoiler warnings! You go in, expecting one thing, and then you get smashed in the face by some thoughtless person. (Okay, I once was thoughtless as well, accidently posted a pic that upset someone because I too, forgot to put the word "spoiler" in my post lead. Tho' I had deliberately made the picture in question, as small as possible--and, it WAS a picture that had already been released by the BBC, to be fair about it.)

    Anyway, I just assumed that video 2 was similar to video 1, in that it was just pics of David Tennant and other actors...but then the big monsters showed up (I won't say what in case you don't want to know)...but I really have known about them for several weeks, now. No, what I saw a photo of, was a trailer with the sign posted on the door, "THE OTHER DOCTOR."

    WHAT????????????

    Is this a character who is a medical doctor?

    Is this yet another duplicate (but different) version of the Doctor?

    Is this Davidson, Baker/Baker McGann or McCoy?

    Is he going to regenerate again, for pity's sake???

    It can't be Doc 2 from Journey's End, as he's stuck there, presumably forever now.

    I'd LOVE for it to be Donna, but hold out little hope for that. I fear perhaps Ms. Tate's moved on. Oh God, I shall miss her sorely. She was not only fun--and amazing, to watch, but also incredibly fun for me to (formally) writem as a fan-fiction character.

    Or, is it this pic from Journey's End filming that got mixed up in the batch...or perhaps the sign simply marks the door of David Tennant's stand-in double?

    So, now I'll be wondering for months on end, just what this means....I'm still a bit rattled by what happened to me re: episode 12, but...it's nice to be intriqued by Who again, for a NICE reason.

  • Dr Who Christmas 2008 sneak peak (NOT the one with massive spoilers!)

    Someone e-mailed me links to photos of Dr Who 2008 Christmas filming...and USUALLY these don't really reveal any big spoilers...but, the second one did. Which I will mention in another post, as I don't like big spoilers...but now I know and I want to puzzle over one of them, on my blog.

    But, not here. These are just some nice pics of DT and a few other actors, in a street scene...I mean, it's already been revealed what the Christmas episode will essentially be about, so really, none of these pics are spoilers...only one very brief pic of a "monster," in the first two seconds, mostly it's just the actors...some fake snow, and some horses...and one pic that looks suspiciously like DT's publicly urinating on a wrought iron fence (not that he really is, one hopes).

  • I learned to drive in a cemetery...but I think the Doctor...

    got his license from a Woolworth's shop!
