ten on tuesday: shows of my youth

Today’s topic (as usual, from Carole) is “Ten Favorite TV Shows From [Your] Childhood.” What a pickle, if you think about it: what part of childhood? If you count early childhood, grade school, middle school, and high school, there’s a ton of possible fodder for this. So I’m going t pick three from my early

ten on tuesday: laughter is the best medicine

Carole finally has a “Ten on Tuesday” subject that appeals to me again (hey, they can’t all be winners): your top ten comedy films of all time. It was tough to narrow down this list, lemme tell ‘ya! It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. One of my favorite ensemble comedies, and while it’s a

ten on tuesday: soup-tastic!

Once again, Carole has posted another lovely 10 on Tuesday topic for consideration: favorite soups. And I see that Sarah has already taken the bait, and now I do – and on the proper day, no less! 1. New England clam chowder. And not just any recipe for this dish, but the version served at

wednesday random ten: winter’s arrival with a bang

This morning featured a rather dramatic entry for winter: high winds, heavy rain, and a dramatic drop in temperature over the course of 30 minutes. Good times. And here are ten songs that randomly popped up in iTunes this morning (per the usual rules: take the first ten songs that play in your music player,

The usual rules apply, though it’s awfully windy outside. “Run For Your Life” – The Beatles (from Rubber Soul) “Christians I Hate ‘Em” – Mojo Nixon (from Whiskey Rebellion) “Hung Up On Soul” – Death Cab For Maddy (from Mashups by Party Ben) “Bitch” – The Rolling Stones (from Get Your Leeds Lungs Out! Revisited)

wednesday random 10: through the sadness

The past ten days have been very sad ones for me. First came the death of my old friend, Sutton (whose memorial service was perfect, save for an organist whose phrasing was suspect, at best). Then came the shocking death of my cyclist friend, Neal, from a high-speed bike crash. So I’ve been listening to

wednesday random 10: acoustic moods

As I finish another post about (what else) cycling, I offer these random ten tunes from the music library. The standard rules apply: Hit shuffle on your favorite music player and record unedited the first ten songs it opts to play. “Big Boys Bickering” – Paul McCartney (from the Hope For Deliverance single) “Coffee, Soho”

wednesday random 10: really random

Let’s see what the iTunes shuffles me today: “I’m Not You” – The Kennedys (from Life Is Large) “Heigh Ho” – Tom Waits (from Orphans) “Hello Little Girl” – The Beatles (from March 5, 1963 plus The Decca Tape) “False Alarm” – KT Tunstall (from Eye To The Telescope) “Adeste Fideles” – Luciano Pavarotti (from

thursday random ten

Yeah, this is usually a Wednesday thing. But I totally lost track of time (and space, as I’m doing a lot of apartment cleaning this week) and it goes up today. C’est la vie, y’know? The usual rules, for those who may have forgotten: set your digital music player of choice on shuffle and record

wednesday random ten: baker’s dozen

I figure that the fact that the rain is gone, combined with my return to the road bike (it wasn’t that long a break) warrants a WRT return: “Lemon (Bad Yard Club Edit)” – U2 “Splendid Isolation” – Warren Zevon “That Day Is Done” – Paul McCartney “The Burren” – Don Conoscenti “I Will Follow”
