A song I absolutely love...

Blinded By the Light, written by Bruce Springsteen, this version recorded by Manfred Mann's Earth Band. I like this version better than the original, actually.

Headache blues

Yep. I have one of those killer weather-change headaches. My mom gets them, too. So I was being really mean to people without meaning to. Sorry, mom.

The aspirin has taken the edge off, but I still have that annoying throb. But, at around 11:00, I can take another one. Huzzah.

Since no one had planned dinner, we ordered pasta from a local Italian restaurant. I love their pasta. So lovely. I got my usual fettuccine alfredo, mom got her usual gnocchi with picante sauce... is that how you spell it? Picante?

Well, spellcheck says no, but the substitute words don't seem right either. And I actually spelled fettucine wrong. lol.

I think I overate. I'm feeling awfully bloated, but that may be from all that butter in the sauce. Man, that sauce is rich! And there's so much sauce that I always soak up some of it with bread. Yum.

Since I'm feeling like a self-indulgent girl, I'm gonna put up a cool YouTube video.

First, the colour video. According to the info for this one, this was the original video, but Joan Jett didn't like how her red suit looked on video, so they decided to change it to black and white.



And here's the black and white one.




Personally, I think she looked good in the colour video.

And finally... one of my many favourite songs... Ballroom Blitz by The Sweet. YEAH!!!!!!!!!

More favourite songs!

Perhaps I should have warned you first - Paradise by the Dashboard Light, at the bottom of the page, is a bit too mature for younger readers/listeners.

Supertramp, 'Bloody Well Right'




Journey, 'Don't Stop Believing'




Genesis, 'Squonk'. Sorry about the poor sound quality on this one.




Genesis, 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway'




Led Zeppelin, 'The Crunge'




Pink Floyd, 'Wots... Uh The Deal'




Meat Loaf, 'Paradise by the Dashboard Light'. ETA: the first YouTube video/sound clip I put up was incomplete, so I put in the full one. I would've put the original video in this post, but it's a bit graphic for younger readers.

Some favourite songs of mine

Jethro Tull, 'Locomotive Breath'...




Pink Floyd, 'Childhood's End'...




Supertramp, 'Crime of the Century'... I have removed this one because of a still that shows some nudity. I found a new one, which I have placed below.





Meat Loaf, 'Bat Out Of Hell' This one has been removed by YouTube, but if you look at the October 6th post, entitled 'Because the first one got removed...' , there's a different still with the song. Sorry about that, folks!



Jethro Tull, 'Bungle in the Jungle'...




Meat Loaf, 'You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth'...

28 years ago...

It was on this day in 1980 that John Henry Bonham, aka Bonzo, passed away. He was the amazing drummer of the mighty Led Zeppelin. Although his son, Jason, is a very talented drummer, Bonzo can never be replaced.

Here's one of his drum solos...

Something I put on my Facebook

I heard this song yesterday during Q107's Pink Floyd weekend to honor Richard Wright. I love it. I think I had heard it before, actually. Luckily, my dad owns the album it comes from, The Division Bell. I'll have to ask him if I can put it on my computer.

Here's the video...




ETA: The song is called 'High Hopes', and it's the last track on The Division Bell.

Mmmmmm..... chicken wings....

Yep. We ordered chicken wings again. Five pounds total: two pounds of hot curry, three pounds of honey garlic. As I mentioned before, I love their honey garlic wings. I'll even eat them cold the next day. Seriously. I ate four leftover wings cold, and the other four warmed up. I tried a hot curry one last night, but I can't eat them. Too hot. Nowadays, my stomach hates spicy food, which is really a pity because I love spicy food. I think it depends on what I eat, though. If I have soy milk or something like that with something spicy, it helps cut down on the pain. For instance, some cheese on a bowl of chili. I had a glass of soy milk with that one chicken wing, and it helped.

Some of my other vices include...

• Knitting
• Chocolate
• Books - especially anything by Tamora Pierce
• Chewing gum, when I have it
• British TV
• Classic rock
• Good movies.
