Winter is in the wings. The weatherman says single digits by tomorrow night. As soon as I finish here, I'm going to fill my feeders so the birds won't go hungry. The bird man on NPR this morning said the birds would be at the feeders even more when it gets cold. I'm also going to hunt for the heater for the bird bath as that same bird man said birds need water this time of year even more than food. Yesterday I was far busier than usual: the list of those accomplishments is long so today I [...]

Happy New Year! Almost, if you're in the US. Past, if you're back home in Blighty or beyond the Prime Meridian. Wherever it is, chances are you've heard everything from the sublime to the supremely cheesy, in terms of the music that's ringing in 2012. So, in answer to the latter - as well as the Christmas and [...]

Okay, I finally figured it out. The sun has gone on vacation somewhere warm and left us with gray skies and temperatures in the high 402s, which really aren't so bad, but it would nice to see the sun again. Today I have a couple of errands to do so no lolling around for me. Yesterday I watched a few movies, took a short nap and was totally unproductive. After Santa's visit, Christmas vacation was always my least favorite when I was a kid. There was nothing to do unless there was snow or a new [...]

Muse le regaló a sus fans la posibilidad de descargar un video pro-shoot de la canción Megalomania , grabada en 2008 en el mítico Royal Albert Hall de Londres. En aquella oportunidad el líder de la banda Matt Bellamy ejecutó en un gigantesco órgano tubular una rara versión de Megalomania . Se puede observar en el video a Bellamy diciendo "sería descortés no tocar esta bestia" y a continuación realizó una performance majestuosa [...]

The sun popped out, took a look at the day and went right back behind the clouds. The wind is blowing but the day feels warm at 40°. All of the animals are sleeping, and I think them wise. The day after Christmas is always a bit of a letdown. The anticipation is gone, and the wonderful Christmas music disappears off the radio. The tree gets lit every night, but its job is pretty much done. Today is, for me, a day to sit and look at my presents again and do little or nothing. I'm not even going to [...]

The morning was so still when I went to get the papers I couldn't hear a car or a voice. I heard only the frost crunching beneath my feet and I could see my breath. I stopped in the cold to savor the silence. I met my friend for breakfast this morning. Our usual Sunday spot was open today, the only place around that was. Lots of people were there; all of the booths were filled and a few people were waiting for one to open. When I got home, I opened the presents from my family and [...]

It's common practice for Muse to offer up a little Christmas treat for fans at this time of year. Last year we got to enjoy the awesome 360 degree video of them performing "Uprising" and "Citizen Erased" live at Wembley. Today fans were greeted by a little glitter covered package on the Muse.mu home page. Once clicked you automatically started downloading a video of Muse performing at The Royal Albert Hall two years ago for the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs. Matt seems more than happy at his opportunity to play the huge organ the [...]

55° on December 22nd just doesn't seem right. When I went to get the papers, I stood a while outside and took in the morning. We have sun and blue skies for the first time in days, but it all seems wrong. Where's the snow? I should be seeing my breath and be clad in wool from head to toe. I'm sure it sounds like complaining, and I really don't want winter as I'm loving this temperature, but it's Christmas time. It's sleigh bells ringing and Frosty dancing. It's even the first day of winter. Mother Nature is behind her [...]

Yes, I know it's Wednesday, and this is my day off, but I decided to write just a bit this being the winter solstice and all. It is warm today at 51°. We're expecting rain so the sun is gone yet again. It's actually been a while since it last appeared. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was on vacation in a sunnier clime. The longest night of the year needs fireworks. The sky should be ablaze with color. Bon fires need to be lit. We ought to be outside around the fire singing [...]

Last night dropped to the teens, as low as 14°, but, luckily, I was home warm and cozy wearing slippers and wool socks to complement my usual nighttime winter ensemble. Today feels warm at 39°. If the wind would disappear, it would feel even warmer. It's strong enough to sway the big feeder and take the birds for a ride. I'd get car sick if I went back and forth that many times. I never did get to the grocery store with my list but, instead, I went to a smaller store to pick up cat food and [...]

No question about it. Winter has arrived. Today is the coldest day so far at 30°, and we have snow. When I woke up, only the deck had a dusting, but since then, the snow has started falling more heavily and can no longer be described as flurries. The ground is getting a light covering. The sky is white-gray, and the day has a dismal look about it, but we're warm and cozy, and that's all that counts. My tree is lit and looks beautiful shining through the darkness of the day. If I were a kid, I [...]

Last night was cold, but today we're back up to 50°. The sun is in and out of the clouds making the day bright but not sunny. I have to refill the feeders later and I'm glad my fingers won't freeze. Earlier was already warm enough for me to stand outside for a little bit watching Gracie. She ran like a crazy dog around the yard, came in and got her snack, always two biscuits, then she flopped down on the couch for her morning nap. That's where she still is. One cat, Fern, is on the couch in the [...]

I was surprised at how warm it felt when I got the papers this morning. The day, from the window, looked cold. The sunlight is steely, and there is a wind blowing even the biggest pine tree trunks back and forth. Last night it rained, and the drops pelted the door and windows. Gracie wasn't too happy when she had to make her last trip outside before bedtime. Around this time of year, my school, St. Patrick's Grammar School, held its annual fair. It was a really big deal and it was held at the huge meeting room [...]

1. Jonathan Richman- Jonathan Sings (Mann) Richman is my all-time man-I-love-this-man-he-speaks- my-language-man. This is the first album by Jonathan Richman that I ever got, and while I love almost every single one of his albums, it's still my favorite. Every single song is awesome. It showcases his song writing style perfectly. Silly, sweet, and honest. "That Summer Feeling" is some of his best writing, I think. There's a cleverness in the rhymes that's so Jonathan. The tenderness of "Someone To Hold Me," the sheer thrill and joy of "Give Paris One More Chance." It's all [...]

2012 es el año en el que Muse , la aclamada banda de Teignmouth formada en 1994 por Matthew Bellamy, Christopher Wolstenholme y Dominic Howard podría publicar su sexto trabajo . La información venía directamente del representante de los británicos, que sorprendía a propios y extraños ya que todo apuntaba a que aún nos quedaba otro año más, es decir, esperar hasta 2013, para disfrutarlo. Sin saber muy bien si será en 2012 o 2013, Christopher Wolstenholme, bajista de la banda, ha hablado de cómo podría sonar la próxima iteración en la [...]

Today is cloudy, but a few patches of clouds are backlit. That's where the sun is hiding. The day is damp as it rained during the night, but it's warm, the last warm day for a while. I went to UPS and sent the packages for Colorado on their Christmas trek. That was the most important item to cross off my to-do list. The other items have no time constraint other than the big day. My back is a bit iffy today so I've decided today is my do little or nothing day. I remember one Christmas Eve [...]

The question is finally answered.

Well, was it?
