Set your alarm so that you don't sleep so long you CAN'T SLEEP WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO.

Got a new duvet cover. I think Dora likes it!

Enough is enough is enough. 

Alright... I got intrigued by Beyonce when I saw her sing the hell out of "The Way We Were" on the Kennedy Center Honors.  So I start wandering amok on YouTube and stumbled upon the video the rest of the universe has, apparently, already seen:  Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).  Now, given my recent back and hip issues, I really ought to be celebrating any form of forward momentum I'm capable of achieving.  

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DANCE LIKE THAT.  RIGHT THIS MINUTE.   

Of course, the world isn't QUITE ready to WITNESS it, but dammit, it would be fun to try.  Dammit.

The siren call struck again and, thanks to a gift card, I went shoppin'.  I broke down and bought Beyonce's "Single Ladies" because I've been humming it for the last two days.  I laso picked up two old school folks:  "Born to Run" by The Boss and a greatest hits collection of John Mellencamp.  And have been rocking out ever since.  

I am a happy girl.  Now I need to get a decent photo editing program for my Mac so I can do a better job of creating new SP icons.  This one is fuzzy as hell.  

 Oh. And they are announcing the new Doctor on BBC One tomorrow.  Which doesn't air here. Oh bother.

Complete with the AWESOME vocal stylings of yours truly. At 8AM. With zero warm up. And, as I've been told, sounding like a very pissed off 12 year old.

Please put down and/or swallow any beverages you may have on deck before watching this video.

Wishing you and yours all the best in the new year!

Been sick. Back problem. More later.

Hi there -- quick post. Husband and I just got back from seeing "Australia". The Jackman simply canNOT be human. There were times I just shook my head and giggled at how stupendously gorgeous he was. And it's full-service Hughliciousness: scruffy Hugh, half-naked, wet, gleaming torso Hugh, spiffed up Hugh, kissy-face Hugh, discrete sex scene Hugh (god dammit), Angry Hugh, Crying Hugh, horseback riding like he was born to it Hugh...

If that movie were a restaurant, I'd be at the all you can eat buffet with a wheelbarrow.

Secondly, set your DVRs and TiVos for Bravo Monday night: Mr. Radcliffe gets Liptoned.

it sure looks like him! Our beastie isn't as cavalier on the Roomba as this little guy but he does sit and watch it book around the room!



Had a great time in NYC. Busy and tired right now, but I hope to post an update in the next day or so.

I'm a big fan of icanhascheezeburger, and a pal o' mine just posted this one in a forum I frequent.  Some things never change!

 

OK, in an effort to escape from the siren call of the iTunes, I opened a link a friend of mine sent to me earlier today.  Whilst this is cheaper than iTunes, it is highly addictive and crazy-making.

iTunes is crack. I decided my rather pathetic collection of Stevie Wonder was in need of a particular song (Overjoyed, for those of you who are interested), so I popped open iTunes to purchase and download it.

Two albums later I think I've managed to get a grip on myself. For the moment.

Geeky, brainy guys with an affinity for cats. What could be better?

Gacked from stanharding 

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.

2. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS.

3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

Feelings of disbelief still manage to cross my mind and I find I have to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming.  Senator McCain, thank you for your gracious speech last night.  President-elect Obama, I received your email last night and awaiting word on what we need to do to get to work, because the HARD word begins today.  Congratulations and may God keep you and your family safe and well.

Let's get to work! 

 Rest in peace, Madelyn Dunham.  May light perpetual shine upon you and grant you eternal rest.
