Eureka!!

I have discovered that Tequila and my local Book/Movie store cause dollar deficits..

Went out to have a little friend time yesterday and had one too many martoonis (figuratively speaking, mind you, because Jose Cuervo RULES!!) anyway we had a few 'Ritas and talked abit, went to get some stuff from the grocery and then I went to the BOOKSTORE.

Bad idea..

I spent way to much (but I got all of my fav mags and)


EUREKA season 2!!!

then to top off my good movie luck, today I found

The Pretender season 1 for

20 BUCKS!

I like television ALOT, and since my cable company lost my business, I have discovered I enjoy finding old shows and introducing them to other people..

I have more DVDs now than I ever figured on owning (We are NOT going to count my General Hospital tapes, EVER, seriously I mean it, never going to count them EVER) but since I really never planned on owning any TV on DVD but now I own a BUNCH, I do believe I was mistaken in my original beliefs, which means I am a GEEK..

See this is how I've always seen me,

But this is how I seem to really be:

A GEEK, me at my life stage?

A GEEK!

And I am enjoying it...

Mickey Smith..

Once upon a time there was a London boy called Mickey Smith and he had a girlfriend named Rose Tyler......

And we ALL know how that turned out, she went off with The Doctor and he got left behind with her mother and then the Cyberman and The Daleks came and off he went because that's what a good ex does, he lives HIS life...


But wait, there's more...

Turns out that Mickey's alter ego wasn't really named Rickey and he didn't live on "Pete's World", his name is really Noel Clarke and he turms out to be a director and an actor

And he seems to have called it quits on being Mickey Smith ever again :


MICKEY SMITH BACK FOR THE VERY LAST TIME...

Jul 04, 2008

If you are a Doctor Who fan and DO NOT like spoilers do not read any further....
For those of you who don't know.

On DOCTOR WHO this Saturday MICKEY SMITH aka NOEL CLARKE (yours truly) is back. And probably (and as far as I'm concerned) the very last time. So any Doctor who fans make sure you switch on an catch your boy in the tardis for the last time.


read the rest here:



The reason I am bring this up is because I wanted to see Mickey Smith again, after the way Doctor Who's series 4 ended I was hoping that maybe Mickey and NOT Martha would become part of the Torchwood Team but apparently if wishes were horses beggars could ride..


I will keep my eye open for more movies, shows and other projects from Noel Clarke but honestly,



Say it ain't so, Mickey...

Generations???

According to a survey released earlier this year by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., 37% of so-called Generation Y drivers -- those 23 years old or younger -- admitted to texting or engaging in instant messaging while driving, compared with 17% of Gen X drivers (those 24 to 46) and 2% of baby boomers (age 47 to 67).


Now if the Boomer years were 1946-1964

and Gen X years are 1965-1982 (1979 is also mentioned as the cut-off date)

and Gen Y years are 1980-1994

and the above blurb was published in May 2007

then a baby boomer would stop being named a boomer in 1960 not 1964....


Which would leave those born between 1961 and 1964 as little orphanics without a name to hang their neuroses upon..


Oh, wait they have given those poor lost orphincs a name: Generation Jones!!

And whoever is naming these lost lambs has highjacked all of them born between 1954 and 1964 and they have given them their own set of connotations as well:

1) a large, anonymous generation

2) the slang term “jonesin,” which refers here to the unrequited craving felt by this generation of unfulfilled expectations

They have even written about this new set of generational titling:

My favorite so far is:

I've finally found my generation
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/article396396.ece


I guess it's cool that the whole world is being divided into sets and subsets that can "belong" together and can bitch about all the other sets and subsets and how "those" people are ruining "our" air earth, benefits, the country ---------(fill in the blank) but wouldn't it be easier just to lump us all together as "human" and try to work together??

Probably not...

We can't even manage to use a cell phone with common sense.....

For my favorite companions..

TO:

GOD

FROM:

THE DOG

Dear God: Why do humans smell the flowers, but seldom, if ever, smell one another?

Dear God: When we get to heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it still the same old story?

Dear God: Why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so hard to rename the "Chrysler Eagle" the Chrysler Beagle"?

Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?

Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beeper s, scent ID's, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths What do humans understand?

Dear God: More meatballs, less spaghetti, please.

Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?

Dear God: Let me give you a list of just some of the things I must remember to be a good dog.

1. I will not eat the cats' food before they eat it or after they throw it up.

(Except in our house, the cat eats the dog's food, the cat has intimidation DOWN!)

2.. I will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs, etc., just because I like the way they smell.

3 I will not munch on "leftovers" in the kitty litter box, although they are tasty.

4. The diaper pail is not a cookie jar.

5. The sofa is not a 'face towel'. Neither are Mom and Dad's laps.

6. The garbage collector is not stealing our stuff.

7. My head does not belong in the refrigerator.

(And I will try to forget I KNOW how to open it BY MYSELF!)

8. I will not bite the officer's hand when he reaches in for Mom's driver's license and registration.

9. I will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear when he's on the toilet.

10. Sticking my nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable way of saying "hello".

(And checking out whether they have the "right" tail is not OK, either!)

11. I don't need to suddenly stand straight up when I'm under the coffee table.

(Even if my head is harder than the table and I look so funny when I do it!)

12.. I must shake the rainwater out of my fur before entering the house - not after.

(That is why we have a Porch after all!)

13. I will not throw up in the car.

(Or the kitchen and when Mom tries to get me outside, I WILL GO, someday!)

14. I will not come in from outside and immediately drag my butt.

(Especially not when Mom has JUST vaccumed!)

15. I will not sit in the middle of the living room and lick my crotch when we have company.

16. The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play with him and he makes that noise, it's usually not a good thing.

And, finally, my last question...

Dear God: When I get to Heaven, may I have my testicles back?

huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

And they say the British have no sense of humour!!

must not throw the computer...................

I watched the 1st part of the series 4 season finale of Doctor Who, and it was a good thing one of my companions was around to keep my impulsive behavior in check because I just might have thrown the computer in total absolute bemusing wonderment at the ending (before the TO BE CONTINUED) of the episode.............






I repeat for those who havent seen this episode yet,


YOU MUST NOT THROW THE COMPUTER!!

Seven Words: or The Thinking Man's Comic is Gone...

I love words.

I thank you for hearing my words. I want to tell you something about words that I think is important. They're my work, they're my play, they're my passion. Words are all we have, really. We have thoughts but thoughts are fluid. Then we assign a word to a thought and we're stuck with that word for that thought, so be careful with words.

I like to think that the same words that hurt can heal, it is a matter of how you pick them.

There are some people that are not into all the words. There are some that would have you not use certain words. There are 400,000 words in the English language and there are 7 of them you can't say on television. What a ratio that is.399,993 to 7. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous to be seperated from a group that large.

All of you over here, you 7, Bad Words.

That's what they told us they were, remember? "That's a bad word!" No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions, and words. You know the 7, don't you, that you can't say on television?

"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"

Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that'll infect your soul, curve your spine, and keep the country from winning the war.

"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"

Wow!

...and Tits doesn't even belong on the list. That is such a friendly sounding word. It sounds like a nickname, right? "Hey, Tits, come here,man. Hey Tits, meet Toots. Toots, Tits. Tits, Toots." It sounds like a snack, doesn't it? Yes, I know, it is a snack. I don't mean your sexist snack. I mean New Nabisco Tits!, and new Cheese Tits, CornTits,Pizza Tits, Sesame Tits, Onion Tits, Tater Tits. "Betcha Can't Eat Just One." That's true. I usually switch off. But I mean, that word does not belong on the list.

Actually none of the words belong on the list, but you can understand why some of them are there. I'm not completely insensetive to people's feelings. I can understand why some of those words got on the list, like CockSucker and MotherFucker. Those are heavyweight words. There is a lot going on there. Besides the literal translation and the emotional feeling. I mean, they're just busy words. There's a lot of syllables to contend with.

And those Ks, those are agressive sounds. They just jump out at you like "coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer. coCKsuCKer, motherfuCKer." It's like an assualt on you.

We mentioned Shit earlier, and 2 of the other 4-letter Anglo-Saxon words are Piss and Cunt, which go together of course. A little accedental humor there. The reason that Piss and Cunt are on the list is because a long time ago, there were certain ladies that said "Those are the 2 I am not going to say. I don't mind Fuck and Shit but 'P' and 'C' are out.", which led to such stupid sentences as "Okay you fuckers, I'm going to tinkle now."

And, of course, the word Fuck. I don't really, well that's more accedental humor, I don't wanna get into that now because I think it takes to long. But I do mean that. I think the word Fuck is a very imprortant word. It is the beginning of life, yet it is a word we use to hurt one another quite often. People much wiser than I am said,"I'd rather have my son watch a film with 2 people making love than 2 people trying to kill one another. I, of course, can agree. It is a great sentence. I wish I knew who said it first. I agree with that but I like to take it a step further. I'd like to substitute the word Fuck for the word Kill in all of those movie cliches we grew up with."Okay, Sheriff, we're gonna Fuck you now, but we're gonna Fuck you slow." So maybe next year I'll have a whole fuckin' ramp on the N word. I hope so.

Those are the 7 you can never say on television, under any circumstances.

You just cannot say them ever ever ever. Not even clinically. You cannot weave them in on the panel with Doc, Ed and Johnny. I mean, it is just impossible. Forget those 7. They're out. But there are some 2-way words, those double-meaning words. Remember the ones you giggled at in sixth grade? "...And the cock CROWED 3 times" "Hey, the cock CROWED 3 times. "

Hey, it's in the bible. There are some 2-way words, like it is okay for Kirk Youdi to say "Roberto Clametti has 2 balls on him.", but he can't say "I think he hurt his balls on that play, Tony. Don't you? He's holding them. He must've hurt them, by God." and the other 2-way word that goes with that one is Prick. It's okay if it happens to your finger. You can prick your finger but don't finger your prick. No,no.


George Carlin May 12, 1937-June 22, 2008

My Mother owned Class clown when I was growing up, and being the era I grew up in, we NEVER played it when there was company over, but I remember listening to it and watching my mother laugh with abandon...

That didn't happen much, so thank you for that memory of my Mother, George!

On War:



I will miss George (nice simple, old-fashioned name for a very complicated, totally forward thinking man, the irony is one I am sure he did appreciate)...


Hopefully he won't be forgotten:









This is my most favorite George Carlin bit, and if you listen hard, and think it through, he is so very right!!!!

I got to see George Carlin in person one time and I laughed so hard!

So long, George, here's hoping Whatever Higher Power you are with now. doesn't mind laughing as much as the audience did that night!!!

Hey, George!!

You made the mainstream!! (The WallStreet Journal, of all places!!)

Sorry, Dude........






I hope you are "safe at home", too....

For Del and Phyllis

Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.

All claimed that they were the best.

The most important.

The most useful.

The favorite.

Green said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."

Blue interrupted: "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."

Yellow chuckled: "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."

Orange started next to blow her trumpet: "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."

Red could stand it no longer he shouted out: "I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."

Purple rose up to his full height: He was very tall and spoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey."

Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder.

Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed.

Rain started to pour down relentlessly.

The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.

In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."

Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.

The rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow."

And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.

Don't know/haven't heard of Phyllis and Del??

They're getting married!!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25188169/?GT1=43001

hmmmmmmm, i was going to go to bed and THEN.........

I know better, I really do..

that last click before I promised myself I would be in bed is always the killer..

I found this on http://www.blogography.com/ here,

which led me to http://spiritofsaintlewis.blogspot.com/2008/06/stand-tall-with-pride.html here..

which led me to http://kellystern.net/2008/06/01/pride-month-daily-posts-below-this-one.aspx here...

which led me http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/G/gayometer/gayometer.html here...

which led to me posting the above picture (which is gorgeous, don't ya think??)

Which led me to ask: " Would I shave my head?" (The answer I wanted to give was maybe, but they only allowed "Yes" or "NO WAY!") of my companions, who answered with 5 woofs and 1 "Depends" (Lot of help they are!)..

But along the way I found out I am 60% GAY (apparently that makes me a "Happy, well adjusted hetero BABE") nice to know that someone (something?) thinks I am well adjusted and a BABE!!!

So what do you say to someone who wants a coming out story and the only story you an think of is the one where you saw a man die and all you could think of was "That's how my life ends?"

I guess you leave well enough alone and say to all the Gay and Lesbians out there..

Be who you want to be because in the end we are all ashes and dust and the only real legacy we leave is the one we write ourselves..

So love who you want and love who you can and do no harm.....

It's not like you really need my permission, now is it?

And have a

Happy Pride Month!!

P.S. Apparently the fact that I don't get "offended" by 2 men kissing is one of the things that makes me well-adjusted!! So put that in your Moral Majority pipe and choke on it,

Please????

I despise "the Moral Majority", they are the cause as far as I can see for "political correctness" run amok and they have no business putting their noses in anyone's bedrooms or for that matter deciding anyone's legal, religious or "moral" positions!!

Oops, did I say that???

Why, yes, yes I did!!!

G'night Moon!!

Somedays it doesn't pay to be off..


Hurt my neck, which screwed up everything I had planned (I wanted to go to the dump, dang it) but no, I couldn't even turn my head!!! Because if you can't turn your head it makes it terribly difficult to drive!!

I like to drive, I like anticipating where to accelerate and where to slow down, I even like the slowpokes (especially if I can go round them) but I DESPISE those people who lay on their horns a SPLIT SECOND after the flipping light turns green, how many times have you seen a car come flying through the light from the opposite direction after right the light's turned??? But that dumbshit on his horn WANTS you to die for waiting that extra split moment!!


Dumass!!





Been watching Season 1 of Law and Order: SVU, Chris Meloni isn't Jerry Orbach (Mr. Orbach is my idea of an entertainer! Song and dance man, "serious" actor, a little comedy, I was so sad when he left L&O, then he died.. ) and I had forgotten that Elliot sometimes was a major tightass at home, but I always did like the chemistry between Olivia and him... And he is a mighty fine looking man!!





And I remembered why I actually started watching SUV in the 1st place: Richard Belzer was on it from the beginning!! I used to watch Homicide: Life on the streets and thought that Munch rocked!!! And then when the crossover between Homicide and L&O happened, I was in 7th heaven!!! Munch and Brisco in the same scenes!! My favorite scenes were where Munch finds out that Brisco and his "ex-wife" Gwen did the deed and Munch just couldn't handle it, Mr. Cool blew the pool game, it was awesome!!



I hate Sesame Street BUT they do have their moments:





Laundry calls, neck still hurts, wish I could use it as an excuse for laundry, but laundry isn't life threatening!!

Dumass!!

So it's Monday...

I have to go to the dump.

Yippee!!

A 20 minute drive, a 15 minute wait, 10 minutes to dump then wait to leave the dump, then do over.....

And I enjoy it!!

Makes me a sick puppy??

Nope, just fighting the man (or in this case, the garbage company who wants to charge me commercial prices for my residential dumpster!!) I remember the stories about Ma Bell and the monopoly they had on phones, if they provided good service it would be different, might almost make it worth it, but they don't so-

Hi Ho it's off to the dump I go!!

Never had a "blog" before..

But am told it's a "Hawt" thing to have..

Ok, so I am supposed to do something with it and I have no clue.

Got to go to work soon, sucks to be me, LOL..


But the pay is decent and the job isn't all that hard,


and I like the people I see most days..


That's what counts I suppose.









Watched the new Dr. Who tonight and danged if I don't really adore Donna (not going to be a popular blogger with that statement, I think) but I really do like her.















Rose was perfect for Nine, he needed someone to be enthusiastic, to see him and the worlds he could show her with fresh eyes, with an open heart and to make judgement upon him without knowing all his secrets. I liked Rose, she grew with the Doctor and she made him grow as well, but (here I go, being unpopular again, oh well) she looked at him as a kind of romantisized figure, he was her "daddy" (well, up until he took her to meet Pete anyway) figure and she needed that and Nine did as well, but after she met Pete, the romantisizing became more realistic and she started growing up...



I liked Rose, never quite took to Martha, well, she was pretty good with Shakespeare ( that might have just been the fact that the guy playing Willie boy was damn good, but), LOL, but I never really "got" her and as much as I liked Utopia and the finale of series 3, I never really bought into Martha as the "Heroic" woman (I like Heroic woman, they make the world a better place but Martha, nope, can't buy it), Rose could have done it (with a smile and a Happy dance at the end) and I am absolutely positive that Donna would have done (bitching and complaining and moaning all the way, but it would have gotten done with effiency and a minimum of time, none of this walking the earth for a flipping year crap, I think that's where they lost me with Martha as the hero, it took her a YEAR to talk about the Doctor!! I could have done it in 3 months tops, hook onto the Internet, a few well chosen words and bammo, telepathic link DONE!) but Martha had to "tell a story", oh come on, pick a town gossip, sweetie and git r DONE!!!



However that leads me to: TorchWood, (yum, Captain Jack, all growed up!!) ..



Martha on Torchwood was ok, I liked her and the way they wove her into the scenery (The Doctor got her a job with Unit?? Good on him!) was well done and the interactions with Jack were nicely played, I liked Martha in Torchwood but please, please leave her out of MY Who from now on...



Which brings me back to Professer River Song, I like her, she would make a most excellent companion for any Doctor (would have like to see her with Nine though, more her age group if you know what I mean?) but Ten did good and I liked the way they played into the history of Nine by using "Everyone Lives!" as River Song's last line...



But I have wandered all over the web since watching it and nobody but me seems to be able to understand that River Song is EXACTLY the kind of woman Doctor Who would marry, she has her own career and doesn't NEED to depend on him for all the trivial day to day things but when it's important, he comes through, that has always been the MO of all the doctor's and I wouldn't think Ten is all that different, even if he isn't Ginger and he is Rude!!




Nine said it over and over again, "I don't do domestic!", and even though he did domestic in a way (Mickey, Jackie, even Alternate Peter and Captain Jack) when push comes to shove he needs at the very least the illusion of total freedom to be comfortable, to be able to save the world and all it's denizens over and over again...


In a way he is lonely but never alone, he is free but always chained, he is never guilty but always judging himself and being found wanting..


I feel sorry for him, for he is all things to his companions and nothing to himself and that must be very frustrating...


I was talking about Donna though, I like her, she is loud and distracting and tactless and to quote a southern friend, "She has her heart in the right place and her mouth in gear" and I totally "get" her..


She has reached that "age" where people give you funny looks if you aren't married and pitying ones if you are divorced without a man in sight and if you tell them you are happy they (metaphorically, for the most part) pat you one the head and SYMPATHISIZE with you.... Like she can't be happy without man candy in sight...I always think of the Blanche DeBois when people talk about woman as though they have to have a man attached to them, that went out in the 50'd people, GET OVER IT, most women (unless they are to stupid to breathe on their own) don't need a man, they are nice to have around for companionship and to get the lids off of really tight jars but just as women aren't necessary for them, they aren't necessary for women.



And that, I think is why people have a problem with Donna, she and The Doctor BOTH have made it clear that romance is the furthest thing from their minds but people keep coupling them and it frustrates them. Why do they have to be a couple?? 2 guys walking down the street and no one says "Aw, cute couple", an older woman and a young man walking and everybody says "Aw, isn't that sweet, a mother and son", an older man and a young woman and they go, "Dirty old man, wish it was me" but 2 people of the opposite sex together and people "couple" them, Bad Form!!!


Wandered a bit more than I meant too...


Going to work now..
