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!!!!!!!!!

Mario Paint Composer!!!!!!!

I got bored while my parents were out grocery shopping, so I went on YouTube. I wanted to look for a sound clip of 'I Love Rock n' Roll' by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. I watched the colour video, and then I noticed, in the related videos, that there was a Mario Paint Composer recording of it. Now, my mom had come across these Mario Paint Composer videos before, so I was pretty familiar with them. I found lots that I like - Final Fantasy music, 'Stairway to Heaven', and so forth.

This is only the opening from 'Stairway to Heaven', but I love it.




OMG JOURNEY!!!!




'Another One Bites The Dust'.




And here's 'I Love Rock n' Roll'.




Oh, and speaking of Zeppelin... looks like they aren't reuniting for a while. Robert Plant says he doesn't plan on touring again for another two years. Aw, man....

Edited to add: Oh... and I so want to buy an SNES now :)

Just a quick post...

I'm bored, and I haven't eaten anything yet. Although I might eat a cupcake soon.

My keyboard keeps cutting out. I'll have to ask Mom how to fix that problem.

I got my right speaker to work yesterday, so I'm not sure if I wrecked the left one, or if it's just being silly. I need new speakers anyway.

And I have Paradise by the Dashboard Light stuck in my head.

I don't know if I'm going to church today, because Dad had a tiring night at work last night. So I have the sound off on my computer. Although, I'm probably making more noise than the computer, because I keep yelling at my keyboard.

I'm angry, and I can't take it anymore!!!!!!!!

So I started the Lace-Up Opera Gloves today, because I joined a KAL for the Ysolda Teague pattern. After ripping it out after screwing up the third row, I started again, and got it. Then I had a slight dilemma. Which do I use, the crappy point protector, or take a nice one off a project and replace it with the crappy one, and risk dropping stitches? Where to I store it? I yelled at my mom, my cat, and my dog. I'll apologize to the pets later. I'm still mad at my mom for some reason.

I know I flew off the handle, but don't DARE threaten to throw my pattern across the room. Thank goodness I printed off two copies.

So I borrowed a black cloth bag from the front hall closet and put the WIP in that, then put the bag with WIP in my Bulk Barn bag with Justin's scarf and my kerchief scarf/wrap.

And I have R.E.M. blaring.

And I have cold peppermint tea at my side.

Something tells me I need more chocolate.

And Meat Loaf?

And... I'll stop.

edited for spelling.

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...
