The sky is falling. 9:31:27 PM    comment []

8:52 All clear Madrigal Joyous hour, we give thee greeting! Whither, whither art thou fleeting? Fickle moment, prithee stay! Fickle moment, prithee stay! (...) (Ending in tears.) 8:55:27 PM    comment []

With Aspect Stern And Gloomy Stride.. We do not heed their dismal sound, For joy reigns everywhere around! We do not heed their dismal sound, For joy reigns everywhere around! 8:45:28 PM    comment []

I am so proud, If I allowed My family pride To be my guide, I'd volunteer To quit this sphere, Instead of you, In a minute or two. But family pride Must be denied, And set aside, And mortified, And mortified. (...) A dull, dark dock, A life-long lock, A short, sharp shock, A big black block! To sit in solemn silence In a pestilential prison, And awaiting the sensation From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block! 8:32:57 PM    comment []

Three little maids who, all unwary, Come from a ladies' seminary, Freed from its genius tutelary-- Three little maids from school! Three little maids from school! 8:25:32 PM    comment []

Behold the Lord High Executioner! A personage of noble rank and title-- A dignified and potent officer, Whose functions are particularly vital! Defer, defer, To the Lord High Executioner! Defer, defer, To the noble Lord, to the noble Lord, The Lord High Executioner! 8:21:00 PM    comment []

7:59 - alarm sounds. Turn off radio & TV, listen to The Mikado, a source of innocent merriment, of innocent merriment. 8:04:12 PM    comment []

Cannellini with Pork Neck Bone probably sounds like Southern Neanderthal gruel. Again done with a time-shifting assist from the pressure cooker, from bag to table in 45 minutes. 7:29:17 PM    comment []

Egged on by promises of Friskies Ocean Whitefish & Tuna Treats, Twyla finally relents and does her impression of Francisco Goya's La Maja Desnuda. 6:53:41 PM    comment []

The carnage continues at Pesky The Rat as bloggers who didn't heed the dire warning to update their liinks are becoming dinner for Janet The Snake! I offered myself as a human shield, but it did not appease her ravenous appetite, because then she ate The Raven! Fortunately, he smuggled in a bottle of Wild Turkey so we didn't have to sit around like two bumps on a log waiting for time to, well, pass. I don't recommend the experience, however, and I'm gonna check all my links this weekend to make sure they're current, following the recent blogger migration. Meanwhile, Raven and I are discussing the nearly mythical strictness of English Teachers and exchanging ghost stories in the darkness within. 6:10:52 PM    comment []

The News Palestinian officials said today that an agreement was reached in principle to end the month-long standoff at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Israeli officials said that progress had been made, but that no agreement had been reached. Palestinian security officials said that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat yesterday signed orders to dismiss West Bank General Intelligence Service head Tawfik Tirawi. Officials said to have pondered attack Mexican government officials said yesterday that they are closing a loophole that has allowed the border area to flourish as a mecca for unproven alternative medical treatments -- including those offered by two controversial San Diego companies. The Marines were practicing urban warfare tactics on Failaka Island in the Persian Gulf and were carrying no ammunition for their weapons, U.S. officials said. Thousands of troops, two aircraft carrier battle groups and scores of combat aircraft have received orders since Christmas to ready themselves to head to the region in January and February, defense officials said yesterday. Federal officials said Tuesday their investigation into a deadly anthrax infection in Florida includes a closer look at forensic evidence gathered in the weeks since the September 11 terrorist attacks, especially items linked to the suspected hijackers themselves. The authority makes no exception for Americans, so permission to strike them is understood rather than specifically described, officials said. Iraq is preparing to destroy its own oil fields, food supplies and power plants and blame the destruction on U.S. bombs during a war, U.S. intelligence officials said Wednesday. Uncovered states that matter most to the Boston software firm are Texas, Utah and Kansas, Domania officials said. Ten Pakistani soldiers were killed in a gun battle with suspected members of al Qaeda, Pakistani officials said. The effort to privatize Carson housing began almost four years ago, officials said. U.S. officials said Washington has sought assurances that Israel would not discuss any defense deals with China while Washington considers an Israeli request for new military aid and technology, Middle East Newsline reported. He was said by the United Arab Emirates to be planning new terror strikes against U.S. interests in the Gulf at the time of his capture, including shipping targets, the officials said.Officials said breakfast and dinner would be hot meals, with water as a beverage. The detainees also get packages containing cereal, raisins, peanuts and granola bars with their rations, officials said. 8:28:54 AM    comment []

Happy Birthday, Kiki Dee! No 0.5 hit wonder she – Take a look at her CV:      KIKI DEE: Biography Related Genres: Rock     Kiki Dee kicked around Britain as a white soul singer for the better part of the late '60s and early '70s -- even becoming the first British Caucasian signed to Motown -- before hooking up with Elton John, who signed her to his Rocket Records label and produced her first notable hit, "I've Got the Music in Me." In 1976, at which time John was the biggest pop star in the world, he wrote and duetted with Dee on the single "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," which promptly topped the charts all over the world. It did not, however, make Dee a long-term star, though she scored a couple of subsequent hits in England and turned to the stage with some success, especially by starring in +Blood Brothers in the West End. In 1993, she and John recorded another duet, on Cole Porter's "True Love" (previously recorded as a duet by Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly). ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide     That’s from Artists Direct (which, BTW, was the only place I could find A3’s original CD with Woke Up This Morning, opening theme for The Sopranos – they included a free T-shirt with my order!). The New York Times On This Day page, however, has uncovered the obscure fact that she worked with Pink Floyd!   56 Kiki Dee Rock musician (Pink Floyd)   That was troubling and I wasted a few minutes investigating 1,160 “Kiki Dee” “Pink Floyd”  Googles until I went back to the NYT page and found this:   57 David Gilmour Singer   Aha! It’s just a screw-up! Happy Birthday, David Gilmour! 4:15:01 AM    comment []
