A very good friend of my sister’s died of cancer this week, he was also someone who I used to think was one of the coolest people in the world when I was 14 or 15. Drum ‘n Bass DJ, potty-mouthed, bad-ass with a killer smile and lovely dimples, this tall wise-cracking dude knew it all, and he had all the coolest tunes. He got me hooked on Fun Lovin’ Criminals, and gave me a tape which I eventually broke …
I have been a fan since I was a young girl, and right from the very first album my sister had, I loved this amazing chick and her epic voice. This has held true right up to my adult years, and I can honestly say that there isn’t a single song I don’t love. To pay homage to her on her 45th birthday today, I’ve selected my favourite songs… enjoy! 1. She’s Got A Ticket ‘Young girl ain’t got no …
Word for the day: Fatigue (fat-eeg). I am fatigued, I have fatigue, this week is fatiguing me. There is nothing worse than feeling tired, no matter how much sleep you get. It’s been creeping up on me for a week or two, and today has finally hit me… I am feeling extremely tired and weary, and all the stresses and pressures of the last month are finally catching up. The thing is, while distracting myself and being positive are important, …
I could honestly retreat to the comfort of my feather duvet and stay there for a week or two… feeling such a sense of tiredness today. In this mindset, there have been things which annoy me lately, and things that make me happy. In equal doses, weirdly enough. Things Which Annoy Me… * People who leave their engines running with a passenger waiting, while they run in to Vida for coffee. * People who walk abreast on the pavement, and …
‘suckin’ too hard on your lollipop…’ We could all use a dose of sugary cheese on Saturdays, so today listen to Mika’s epic classic Lollipop, turn up the volume and ENJOY! Mika – Lollipop Sucking too hard on your lollipop, or love’s gonna get you down, sucking too hard on your lollipop, or love’s gonna get you down. Say love, say love, or love’s gonna get you down. say love, say love, or love’s gonna get you down. I went …
Chevelle: awesome. Phew, I can’t believe I am actually up and about at this hour of the morning – but Debra is coming in this morning and I’m off to have coffee and then get vitamin B12 shots at Gardens Center just now so what can you do. Anyway, Friday. Friday was one of the longest days ever, and with non-stop jackhammering and whatnot outside our office the entire day and gloomy weather, not even my organic double cappuccino frrom …
First, please excuse me if I am a bit off the comment and participation radar – I am battling to fit everything into the day lately and the few hours I have when I get home in the evenings are filled with admin and work… which leaves me either bleary eyed or forgetful. This has been a very good week indeed – somehow I feel like I found the balance I needed so badly. Some interesting developments and some good …
Well well, rock legend Steven Tyler turns 61 today and if that isn’t reason to play my theme song, then I don’t know what is! Aerosmith – Jaded Hey J-J-Jaded You’ve got your mama’s style but you’re yesterday’s child to me So Jaded You think that’s where it’s at but is that where it’s supposed to be? You’re gettin’ it all over me ex-er-ated My, my, baby blue (Yeah I’ve been thinkin ’bout you) My, my, baby blue Yeah, you’re …
Look this seal in the eye and then try and ignore this post! It’s that time of year again people. The time of year when hundreds of thousands of Harp seals are cruelly slaughtered in Canada, despite monumental efforts to stop the worlds largest mammal slaughter. As the Humane Society Protect Seals website says, ‘it’s not a hunt, it’s an atrocity’. So far, in just a few days, 17, 200 Harp seals have already been killed. Many of them are …
Music legend Elton John turns 62 today, and while I’m sure Hollywood and assorted other shlebs are all getting trashed at his birthday party, I’m taking a moment to reflect on some of my favourite songs… 1. Your Song Never fails to bring a lump to my throat – the lyrics and everything about this song is just so awesome and is one of the most heartfelt, beautiful love songs in the world. Too sweet! 2. Can You Feel The …
