Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: The Third Doctor to the Brigadier: "Do you think for once you could arrive before the nick of time?" Just in case he doesn't... ;) You will sink in a mire. You like to think you're normal, but deep down you really just want to strip off your clothes and roll around in chicken fat. What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die? brought to you by Quizilla LOL, ok, i know this may be a bit morbid for me, but I saw this on Pirate Monkey and thought I would try it for fun. The result reminded me of something my sister might say to me!! :)

D.W.Q.M.: "Well, I'll tell you something that should be of vital interest to you. That you, Sir, are a NITWIT!" -the Third Doctor Warning: tvjunkie rant ahead!! ;) Ever noticed how the less likely it seems you are going to get what you want, the more you want it? (duh!) *heehee* It started innocently enough, honest it did (be quiet, jerm! ;) LOL. ) Feeling particularly nostalgic, I wanted to check out a couple of Pertwee stories from Doctor Who-The Curse of Peladon and the Monster of Peladon. I was sure i had seen one of them, but I wasn't sure which one-both had a pretty memorable alien. I mean, who could forget an alien with a big, round, green head, one HUGE eyeball in the center of it, six arms with claws for hands, walked with a waddle, and spoke with a high, squeaky, girlish voice? Quiet comical. So, being the total geek that I am, and wanting to expand my Doctor Who collection, I decided to check out bestbuy.com to see if I could find them.

D.W.Q.M.: "Mind you, I think the nose is a definite improvement. As for the ears, well, I'm not too sure. Tell me quite frankly, what do you say about the ears?" - the Fourth Doctor I did it!!! I think I actually did it! I moved my blog successfully!!! I was having a little trouble at first, but then it worked!! I don't believe it! :) :) Woo-hoo! I am so excited! Let's hope it continues to work. :) :) scarf update: 180/830 rows

Ok, now that I got my link sorted out, i am going to attempt to switch over to dreamingheart. Here is my new home: : http://romana.dreamingheart.net/blog.php check back within the hour to see if i've posted there! ;) btw, I do know that there is a problem with my comments-the site that hosts them has been having a few problems this month, so they are currently updating their system, adding a new server, etc, etc.-hopefully it will be straightened out soon!

D.W.Q.M: "Eureka!!" -the Third Doctor Ah-ha!! I got my links to work!!!! Thank you paul!!! I haven't moved my site yet-i want to wait until i'm on campus again, so i have a faster internet connection to republish my entire site-that will probably be Monday. Oooh, i can't wait!!! ;)

D.W.Q.M.: "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots." -the Fourth Doctor Hahaha, ok, so now I'm using a line from the fourth doctor's first episode!!! Ok, I don't know why my new addy didn't show up-i'm pretty sure I entered the url correctly-I even used the http link that blogger provides so it would give the correct html code. *sigh* ok, before I do any moving, I want to figure out what i did wrong. Hopefully I will figure this out soon!!!! i will post again before i move to dreamingheart...

D.W.Q.M: "It's the end. But the moment has been prepared for." -the Fourth Doctor Hey everyone! Just in case you are not familiar with doctor who, that was the fourth doctor's last line, before he regenerated into his fifth persona. I thought it was a good quote to use, since it's still the same old blog, but with a different home! :) Here is where my new home will be: http://romana.dreamingheart.net/blog.php Hopefully I will do this correctly, and my next entry will be at dreamingheart! :)

D.W.Q.M: Third Doctor: "...I should have an oil lamp over here somewhere..." Sarah Jane Smith: "Let me guess, you are going to rub it and produce a genie." Third Doctor: "No, I'm going to light it and illuminate us...ah there we are." Sarah Jane (with a smile) : "Hooray for good old fashion oil." What happened to the power? Gotta love summer storms-last night the power went off and on again 3 times in a row before going out completely. Thank goodness for battery backup on the computer!! Yoda (my computer) was quite happy to be shut down properly after the power outage. Too bad the AC didn't have one... ;) I have so many candles, I could go for a couple of months without the lights...it's just too bad that after 10 minutes you start to get a headache from scents that were never meant to be burned together... (hey, can you tell i'm reading Bob Hope's My Life in Jokes ? ;) Seriously though, I always seem to for

D.W.Q.M: Ian: "Vicki, I didn't know you knew about the Beatles!" Vicki: "Well, of course I know about the Beatles...but, I didn't know they played classical music." Barbara: " Classical music?!?!" Ian: "Times change Barbara, (lowers voice slightly) times change." Play 118!!! Mt. Carmel-I believe Mt. Carmel was the first major feast that I ever played in with the Italian band (in other words, more than just a procession, and if I remember correctly, when I started, Cuyahoga Falls was not in our schedule yet.) When I started, I remember being warned that we would be playing 118 in the blue books many, many times at Mt. Carmel, 'cause they love it!! At first, I didn't understand what was wrong, but then, when a blue book was handed to me, I saw it-number 118, Onore D'una Banda-with a nasty set of triplets in the very beginning and more throughout the piece. Not to mention the high scale 8th notes at the end (and I

...or more tales from the Land of 10,000 Lakes D.W.Q.M.: Second Doctor (to the 3rd) : "Goodbye, Fancy Pants!" Third Doctor (with a nod of recognition) : "Scarecrow." Typical conversation between me and my niece: Lil’ A: “Stinker!” Auntie Ella: “Meanie!” Lil’ A: “Stinker!” Auntie Ella: “Stinker!” Lil’ A: “Meanie-stinker!” Ahh, the joys of being a toddler. Lil’A’s favorite phrases these days are ‘you’re a stinker!’, and ‘how come?’ or ‘why?’ Now doesn’t that sound like a typical 3 and a half-year-old? :) My friend Shanna and I decided to get together on the 2nd and take the girls (Lil’A, and Shan’s daughters Lil’S and Lil’M) to the Mall of America. We promised them if they behaved while we were shopping, we’d let them play in Lego Land, next to Camp Snoopy. So we did our shopping (with a few side trips for the girls, like the Teddy Bear Factory ), and they behaved themselves pretty well, so after lunch at McDonalds (by the way, who ever heard

D.W.Q.M: "My dear Brigadier, while a straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, it is by no means the most interesting." -the Third Doctor And I thought the streets of Pittsburg were bad!! Ok, well here marks the first time I have used a quote over-but who cares? I think it fits. :) *heehee* Also, I don't think I got it 100% correct the first time, so here is the opportunity to correct it. I am going to take a quick break from tales from the land of 10,000 lakes ('cause there are more!) to tell of our first night in Charleston, West Virginia. Persephone, Paul and I went there for our friend Heather's wedding this weekend (which was beautiful!) We left early Friday afternoon because we were invited to the dress rehersal dinner. When we got to the hotel, we discovered the other reason why we ended up in a smoking room (the first being that due to flooding, FEMA took over the hotel we were to stay at) the other was that there was thi

D.W.Q.M.: "Pity about the scarf. Madame Nostradamus made it for me. Witty little knitter...never get another one like it." -the Fourth Doctor 7 different colors of yarn: $15 Knitting needles: $4 Crochet hook: $2 Latch hook: $5 Spending quality time with Mom while learning to knit a 20 ft scarf: Priceless. My mother can work wonders with knitting needles, crochet needles, and yarn. Over the years, she has knitted countless scarfs, hats, and mittens for us (one year, she noticed several of the kids in her apartment building didn't have mittens or gloves-so she made them all some mittens!!), she's crocheted little Christmas ornaments depicting the Nativity scene-ornaments that can be taken off the tree and used as finger puppets, not to mention several stuffed dolls of the Peanuts and other characters...and for my very first birthday party, she crochet little popular figures-Looney Tunes, Seseame Street, etc- to put in my pinata instead of candy (hey,

D.W.Q.M.: "My dear Brigadier, a straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting." -the Third Doctor 'where the hell is McDonalds?' Another favorite line of mine-and one that I think I will have the opportunity to use many times!! ;) I am back from Minnesota!! Made it safe and sound-I have to admit, I was a little worried with all the severe weather between Minneapolis and Cleveland, but we were re-routed, so it was all good. Normally, from what I can tell, we fly east from the MSP airport and cross Wisconsin, then the lower half of Michigan, and over Lake Erie into Cleveland. Well, just as we were about to taxi off the MSP runway, our pilot comes on the speakers to announce that due to the weather, we would be flying in a different direction, and our trip would take us a little farther north than usual. Well, these are the words I managed to hear: Lake Superior, Saiginaw, Detroit, Ontario-boy, tha
