Thursday Thirteen #52: What's the Name of That Song?

Thirteen Songs Whose Titles Are Not In the Lyrics Below are examples of 13 songs whose titles do not appear in the lyrics. When I originally came up with the idea for this T13, I was going to give the song titles, the artists, and sample lyrics. During lunch today I decided to make a game of it and therefore omitted the song titles. Without using the Internet to find the answers, how many of

Final Results of the Recent Heath Ledger Poll

In last week's poll, slightly over half of you felt that Heath Ledger would get an Oscar nomination (but not win) for his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight. Had I voted, that's the way I would have gone as well. With all of the stories that came out in regards to the ratings of the most recent Oscar telecast (they were the lowest in history), an Academy Award nomination for Heath

Old School Friday: Make Up Songs

For this week's Old School Friday meme, we are flipping over the record (metaphorically speaking) and spotlighting make up songs. This week's song is by The Ronettes, one of the greatest girl groups and arguably the epitome of Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound". The song I selected, 1964's (The Best Part of ) Breakin' Up, shamefully only made it to #39 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. If the

Mamma Mia... Box Office Gold!

Due to the record breaking business of the latest Batman film, another box-office success story has been lost in the Hollywood Shuffle. This past weekend, the musical Mamma Mia! took in $27.8 million dollars to open at #2 behind The Dark Knight. Adapted from the hit stage musical of the same name and featuring songs from the ABBA catalogue, Mamma Mia! stars Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, and

Thursday Thirteen # 51: Black & White Films Made After 1970

Thirteen Black & White Movies Made After 1970Since the mid 60s, most films have been shot in color. Since then, due to either artistic reasons or budget constraints, directors have occasionally forgone tints and pastels in favor of the monochrome look. Below, in alphabetical order, are 13 movies that came out post-1970 that are shot primarily in glorious black and white.Because several films

The Golden Girls' Estelle Getty Dies At Age 84

I am sad to write that Emmy-winner Estelle Getty, best known for her role as Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls, died earlier this morning at the age of 84. According to one of her sons, Getty, who suffered from advanced dementia, died at about 5:30 a.m. at her Hollywood Boulevard home.A classic example of perserverance paying off, Getty struggled in showbiz for over 40 years before landing the

I hope you are hungry!

So after my best mate's blessing I decided to take off to Paris. I had only been once before. That was for an Iron Maiden concert. Since then I have rediscovered Anthony Bourdain. This is not a good thing because I can be a bit of a gobshite on a good day and he has just taught me to be a pompous gobshite with a lust for travel, booze, and food. OK, I had two of the three already covered. Still

Day trip to Bath, UK

Bath - Roman Bath's and Pumphouse alongside of Bath Abbey. OMG!! Tourists galore. Just wall to wall people and school groups. It is amazing that a lot of the baths are so far underground. Years of dirt and sediment excavated. The dirt between the stones is thousands of years old. The plants grow there must be from "old" spores and seeds. They call the Celtic/Roman Goddess of the Water Sulis

Antidotal Anecdotes

One of my friends just got married.Well, he's not really my friend in the traditional sense (he doesn't even know who I am), but I've been following his blog for a while now and feel like I know him. I respect him quite a bit, and I would hope that if we traveled in the same circles he would be willing to call me a friend as well.I doubt we'd ever really be buddies, but I

My Sewing Room

Or maybe I should say, my sewing patio. Yes, currently the patio is the only place I have to put all of my craft items. And it is overflowing! As you can see in the picture, I have everything in kitchen bags and bins, hoping that it does not get too dirty. Hmmmm, maybe I should stop buying new craft supplies and use up what I have. What do you think?

Kendi's Blankies

This shouldn't come as too much of a suprise to anyone, but I have made quite a few blankies for Kendi. I actually have a couple more that I still have to finish. . . but I have managed to lose them in my piles of crafts supplies (maybe a good indication that I have too many???). The first one is a classic rag quilt. I have made literally about a hundred of these. As a matter of fact, most of you

Wot are you doing?

July 6thI'm sitting in my dorm room in Way the Frak East London on a cool breezy sunless Sunday with Iron Maiden at the Forum, 19/02/08, blasting from my MacBook. My shoes are off, of course, and my toes are in charge of rocking me gently back and forth in my chair as I peruse the pages of Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential". The only light gracing the pages is what little precious

Don't Waste Your Time Searching for Those Wasted Years

OK - I'm obsessed. Two of my mates have used the word "stalker". I still contend that five Maiden shows in 5 months, with 3 of them coming within four days of each other, and the 5th only two weeks later in another country is NOT anything special. As a matter of fact, I lag way behind most 28 year Maiden fans. Yes, I've been listening to them nearly thirty years and I've not even seen them live

July 4th Part Two

I realized: I DONT HAVE A SHARPIE ON ME!!! Not that this is important in the grand scheme of things. It's just that I normally have a Sharpie at the ready. Just in case.Oyster Cards are lovely things. They cap at L6.50 or so if you are running around all day. This is a good thing as that's cheaper than a day pass of L6.80. Met up with D at the Tower of London. Someone on the IMOFC boards "

Vintage Chenille Quilt

Ta-da! I accomplished a project while being 9 months pregnant and with a broken elbow! A quilt made from vintage chenille bedspreads. I love how these turn out-- so soft and cuddly!

Leicester Square July 4

Oi - Vey!!! I got "kicked out" off my room at 10am. I can't check back into the other room until 1400. Funny enough, the room is only next door! Gotta love it. So I headed into the city, as Queen Mary College is way East end (how funny! but no Albert Square nearby) to find the infamous London Free Wi-Fi! I headed to Leicester Square stop on the tube, but couldn't get my bearings. I think A's bad
