Yule is over....long live 2009!

We had a fun Yule here at home. My husband's siblings came down and we made pizzas, played board games and sat outside watching the fire in the chiminea. Adrian and I opened our prezzies for each other: I got him a DVD of 'A Clockwork Orange', 2 CDs, and a book of Factory Records graphic designs. I received:

A bottle of Anna Sui Night of Fancy perfume.......


Michael Palin's diary of the Python years......


a book about silent film actors.....


a DVD documentary about vaudeville.....


a book about Ghosts Caught On Film, 99% of which are obviously and patently fake. The other 1% stump me......


Plus various stocking stuffers I love, like Smarties, Bit O' Honeys, Ghirardelli chocolates and also a new Wheatsville Co-Op membership, so I can continue my pursuit of hippie-ness.

I've been making steady progress on revamping my Yardbirds website too. I hope to have it up by January 1st. It looks a million times better than the present site. I'm using iWeb to do the site; it's extremely easy to use. The one that's up now looks terrible and it too hard to read. My new URL will be www.yardbirdsphotos.com. Look for it soon!

Oh yeah, Happy New Year too! That means the Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci-Fi network......



Oh, the pompatoose of Shatner......

Stephen Fry on the Joys of Swearing

As usual, Stephen Fry is the voice of reason and sanity in a overly-PC world....
