Good Night

Forgot to add this -

Moonlit Night by Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900).

Good Morning

(no subject)

I owe a good catch-up, but that is not this post.

This post is about theatregirl7299. If we are friends on Twitter and Facebook, you already know.

theatregirl7299 suffered a slight injury on her foot, which developed into cellulitis. In a horrible progression, cellulitis turned into gangrene. As a life-saving measure, they had to amputate her food below the knee.

I know, take a sec.

SHe is doing as well as one could hope, with pain being well-managed and the hospital staff caring and competent.

NOW - this all happened as she was mid-move, having packed up her place (henc the food injury) and literally in the middle of driving across the country. SO she has no apartment, no job, etc., being that that was her plans for the new home.

1. We have a Go Fund Me running. Anything you can contribute will add up and help her. Link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-milana-bender-bannon

2. PLEASE PLEASE spread this link on your social media and fandom platforms!!

3. Stay tuned for a Fanworks auction. I hope to have a pimp card soon. Fics, art, whatever you can do will be offered. Details to come.

Thank you, Fireheart13/Firesign10

Sunbathing Day

Well, what a great day. Been sunbathing already as it is that warm outside my abode.

Music drifting from the speakers as well.Perfect!

It will not last as the temps will be not much above 20C next week from Monday.

The Boat That Rocked

Well, that was a fine day. Mucho sunbathing, music, some food, a good read, and vino. Just the sex and drugs were missing but we had the rock and roll.
And talking of antiestablishmentarianism I watched that hilarious movie last night called The Boat That Rocked (also known as Pirate Radio in the USA). This was in the sixties when the BBC ruled and pop only had 45 minutes per day on the airwaves. For that boomer generation who wanted music radio, it was supplied by the offshore pirate radios or Radio Luxembourg. Radio Caroline was one of the biggest offshore pirate stations.

The Boat That Rocked is a 2009 British comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis with pirate radio in the United Kingdom during the 1960s as its setting. The film has an ensemble cast consisting of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bill Nighy, Rhys Ifans, Nick Frost and Kenneth Branagh. Set in 1966, it tells the story of the fictional pirate radio station "Radio Rock" and its crew of eclectic disc jockeys, who broadcast rock and pop music to the United Kingdom 24-7 from a ship anchored in the North Sea while the British government try to endeavour to shut them down. The soundtrack is fabulous with all these sixties grooves.

Goldie

Listening to a recently found copy of Goldie's "Saturnz Return" CD from 1998 a receipt fell out it from that year. This was when MVC or Music and Video Club were still around and the purchaser bought it from MVC in Bromley 04/02/98 for £14.99. I paid just a quid for the double CD from a chazzer in Canterbury the other day. Thank you Mr G.Willmott.


GOLDIE - Mother/Truth/The Dream Within

Disc One of Saturnz Return.

Yes, drum n' bass with modern classical music - but it works -and I think Goldie is a genius.
