I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

What the hell are you wearing, David? Are you trying to blind us all?

Hmmm--I see he's gone back to stuffing that tube sock down his trousers.

Seriously though, I'm all for dressing as you please--(when appropriate), simply because way, way too much negativity seems to be emitted enmass by the media, whenever some posh celebrity dresses down, or, in the case of Mr. Tennant above, dresses to suit themselves...albeit, sometimes one's fashion choices can seem a tad bewildering to those of us outside life's trendy little circles...but hey, whatever floats yer boat, matey. You go, bhoy!

Heck, outside of one summer in Wyoming, I've lived my whole life in northeastern New York state--and I've been wearing cowboy hats and shirts and such, for over 40 years (tho' not nearly so much now that I'm getting on a bit, and have been forced leave behind horses/saddles...I mean, except when the rodeo's in town, I will get odd looks wearing a cowboy hat in the city--it looked ever so much more appropriate, when I was driving around the countryside in my pick up truck ).

Whoo-hoo! I just got an e-mail that tells me the Proclaimers are playing some pub down in New York City in March! How cool is that? Unfortunately, even if I could manage the coach fare down there, the cost of a ticket and other related expenses, I have no way to buy a ticket, cos' I've no credit card.

Well, the consolation is, that also in March, Enter the Haggis is performing not far from the village where I grew up...the city across the Hudson River from my hometown, so maybe I might manage to make a day/night of it, for that concert...certainly, I'm sure the tickets must be easier to get for ETH, since they're not all that well-known.

Off to work in literally 2 minutes. Just popping in to say hullo. It's actually a balmy 23 F out there right now--Yes! It's going to go all the way up to freezing (32 F), before, by the weekend, it drops back down to the teens to sub-zero's fahrenheight again...about down to minus 20 to minus 22 C again, by, I think, Saturday night. Ah well...global warming? HA!

Well, this actually is a normal winter for us--in 2007, we didn't get hardly any snow at all until mid-February, which is the first time that's happened within my lifetime. It's snowing a bit today, but just lazy flurries, no storms that I'm aware of. It's actually supposed to be mostly sunny, this weekend, which will be nice for the skiiers over to West Mountain fifteen minutes from here, and up at Gore Mtn. in North Creek about 40 min or so just up I-87. I don't ski...not that I wouldn't, but nowadays, I'm not sure I could even handle riding a horse any longer, without considerable pain after the first half-hour or so.

Well, I'm off to work. Someone burnt the popcorn in our office's microwave yesterday, triggering the alarm and evacuating the whole building, while the firmen came and sounded the all-clear. Don't imagine the office manager's going to be thrilled with the loss of 20 minutes productivity and being bitched at by building security.

Thanks for reading. Cheers!

"Aw, c'mon, Donna...premature rematerialisation can happen to any Time Lord."

Well, this will teach me to leave a roll of paper towels lying about after dusting...all the money we spend on toys for our pets, we coudl just go out to the discount shop and get a 79 cent roll of towels for our cats to delight in. Ugh. Well, that's what they make Hoovers for.

So, no angry feedback over me posting my playlist on Roasting David Tennant, so...thought I'd re-do the playlist (now that I've finally got the hang of it) and try it on my main blog. It only took me over 3 hours.

Unlike Roasting DT though, I've put the player at the top of the page, instead of the bottom, so people can mute it if it annoys them too much, or click on specific songs or artists.

However, if anyone doesn't like the playlist player, you can always click on my username and send me a PM ...nicely, please! If you're rude I'll merely do the old ignore and delete.

Because my musical tastes cover a pretty big territory (depending on my mood), you can expect to hear a wide range of tunes: progressive, contemporary pop, rock, oldies, folk/folk-rock, modern jazz, big band, western swing, 70's country, new age, easy listening, classical and even a touch of Dr Who.

I have shuffle turned off, so songs will play in order. But anyone can click the shuffle on, which is on the right-hand top of the page. Click the speaker/volume at the bottom right, to turn on the mute button, if you don't like the tunes.

This is a chance for some of you to get to know me better, through the types of music I like--some songs and/or artists are old favourites, and some are brand new to me, that I've "discovered" in the last year or two.
