Can’t Get the New My Chemical Romance Release Out of My Head
This is the “Official Lyric Video for My Chemical Romance’s first single, “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” from their upcoming album, Danger Days: True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys.” It won’t be available until November, but its very catchy (thanks to my friend Meadows for steering me to […]
We Need to Talk About Zombies
I’m not sure why zombies are so fascinating, but they are. This picture was my first personal foray into zombiedom, but it seems like they just keep getting more popular. My daughter’s college even has a Zombie Corps on campus, which by her description, seems to be an updated version of Cowboys and Indians. But […]
There’s Always Room for Cello
So today I had my first ever cello lesson. So fun. My teacher is a mom I knew from the high school. She comes with an impressive resume and the recommendation of the Director of Music for the school district. And this school district has an impressive music program. Anyway, I think she had fun […]
Wonky Wednesday
I’m even more disjointed than usual today. I don’t even have a title to start with. Trying to work out the deets on a cool b’day present for my better half. More next week once I’ve given it to him. Super happy about the Phils win – Halladay’s no-hitter. My husband teases me about being […]
VooDoo Catholicism
VooDoo Catholicism. I’m not a big fan of things like burying a statue of St Joseph when you are trying to sell a house. It seems disrespectful and superstitious. I’m not sure of the Church’s official position on this, but my take on it is that it’s fine to pray to St Joseph for intervention […]
Looks Like Someone has a Case of the Mondays!
Got some new sneaks and earbuds for the gym this week. Mmmm…orangey. I decided I had better haul my butt back to the gym (and I did at 7am). My job involves sitting all day. All my hobbies– reading, writing, cello and even kayaking– all sitting. I hesitate to admit just how much l like […]
Busy Busy Busy
Hey, the lead singer of Bad Religion is on Morning Joe talking about 30 years of Punk Rock. My youngest is home from college for a few days so we are living in delicious craziness. Always fun to have her her. Tons of laughing, singing and pizza. Much shopping is planned for the next couple […]
Pinball Brain Tuesday
It’s pouring rain this morning, which I really like, but it makes me want to stay home with a book and a cup of tea. The Pacific Northwest is probably the only area of the US that could tempt me away from Buffalo. Sliced Bananas on toast this morning. I almost typed Taoist by mistake. […]
Monday Bible Study
For the past three years Monday night has meant for me St. Greg’s Bible Study. I should say fall and spring Monday nights, because the snowbirds are gone over the winter. Yes, I am one of the youngsters of this Bible Study. It doesn’t matter though, because 70 and 80 year olds who are still interested […]
Sunday in Buffalo and That Means Football
This is Trent Edwards. Don’t ask me if he is the current quarterback. I have no idea. Anyway. Everyone is terribly excited leading up to the game. People who go to the game sit in the parking lots hours (days?) ahead of time and drink beer out of their trunks (tailgating). This is all good […]
