i've got the power....

this morning, i woke up 1/2 hour after i was supposed to start work. yep, no power for me. and as a special bonus, i got the morning off. yippee!

i was driving home from work tonight and some areas had power and some didn't. i passed lougheed mall and it was pitch black. i got to my neighbourhood, some houses had power, some didn't and pulled up to my street.. yah! power. i am happy.

here is my friday random top ten. it's kinda random, kinda chicky, kinda mellow, and contains one song that mentions bananas. :)

1. nightfall – sue garner
2. you wouldn't like me – tegan and sara
3. made me madman [live] – backyard babies
4. walking in the shade - the colorifics
5. new york, new york – ryan adams
6. enter the lists – mekons
7. dig me out - sleater-kinney
8. poison arrow – abc (hee hee!)
9. the ground beneath her feet – u2 with guest daniel lanois
10. you look like a gorilla – the mopes

Wow you guys have had some crazy weather lately!

Was it the Mopes song that mentions bananas?

668 I thinking about you during the wind storm with your home completely surrounded by trees. Sure hope they survived the storm.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the Strombo show will be a new one tonight! Hope to see you then.

668, Alex will be on the show tonight, we'll have this week in Bob!

Barbara said...

I've heard of U2...lol

Good thing you got power or your blog would be hard to read in the dark.

I didn't see any bulletin saying the strombo show would be on or not...

Barbara said...

According to Strombo.com it will be live!!!

lougheed mall had no power for two days!

yep, the mopes mention bananas. :)

our neighbourhood seems ok tree-wise. i saw one tree down, but no house damage. near us, my brother saw around ten houses damaged by trees. eeek!

yah! alex! i will there with bells on. well, no bells for me, but perhaps the dog will have some bells.

the colorifics are a vancouver jazzy pop lounge band. the rest, are well the rest. :)

Crap, Hillary is also on. She irritates me. Oh well at least I still have Bob, George and Alex!

668 aka neighbour of the beast said...

i know, at least she's pretty quiet so far.

Toccata said...

I want to start a, "Get rid of Hillary" campaign! I have decided it's her voice that I can't tolerate. She's yapping about squirrels right now and her voice cuts like nails on a blackboard!

668 aka neighbour of the beast said...

i tuned out completely when she was on.

plus it keeps cutting out. if i miss this week in bob... grrr!

Toccata said...

Oh hey, somebody else said they were having trouble with the online feed and they pressed refresh and it started to work a lot better.

668 aka neighbour of the beast said...

yah, i tried that. didn't help much.

Toccata said...

Sorry to hear it didn't work.

I think I have figured out why she drives me so completely insane. It's the way she ennunciates every single syllable of every word as if it is the accent syllable. Also, I think she is just trying far too hard.

668 aka neighbour of the beast said...

i hear you on the speech.

and she's overtrying

and i feel she's been shoved down our throats.

Evelyne said...

Alex is way better than Hilary is! She seems to agree a lot on what George says...

And this week in Animals wasn't that good, this week in Bob is hilarious though!

I have to admit that the first time that Alex was on the show, I did not like him at all... but now, he is just so hilarious, but I don't think that Hilary could be as good as Alex is!

Toccata said...

Well, it's official! There is at least a pack of three that wants to ditch Hillary. Now we just have to convince GEORGE!

668 aka neighbour of the beast, I am off first thing in the morning to fly off to far of places, well, not that far off, Kelowna. Anyhow, if I don't have a chance to "talk" to you before hand, have yourself a very nice and merry Christmas.
