Please Notice the new theme! :-) It’s a Snowperson - and I think it’s all wintery and holiday-e! ;-) Woot Woot!

So. The theme Saturday?! Totally like the best one ever! :-) It’s a whole show devoted to Weird Al!  The man is a genius! There are two reasons to show up to my show Saturday. 1) You already Know and Love Weird Al!  2) You WANNA get to know and LOVE the Weird AL! Be there or be a rectangle!  I’m sharing one of my most favorite weird Al songs.  I remember walking around wearing headphones and listening to my generic Walkman and just singing my wee heart to this one. I’m not QUITE sure why - but that’s the beauty of Weird Al. :-) The song is - One More Minute - off the Weird Al’s Yankovic’s Greatest Hits album!

See you in the Chartroom!

A hodge podge mish mash of trivia! Enjoy! ;-)

All the songs this week came form MySpace. Indie, Unsigned, and Major Label artists all smooshed together "Saturday Morning Show" Style ;-) The show is 2:07:46 in length.  I had fun putting this list together, and it even includes family member! :-) No contests this week, but you should listen anyway! :-)

Once AGAIN I’ve forgotten the FFAF.  Just this morning I was thinking “Shit, could today be FFAF?” Then I was all “ No, way. There’s gotta be at least ONE more Fri in Nov.” Although I don’t know why I thought that. Maybe Dec will be when I get the Freeforallfriday.net site up and running. Somehow I doubt it.

I’m spending my evening trying to get my show ready for tomorrow. I’m doing music from myspace.  Unknown, Indies and Signed Artist. No particular theme other than I liked the track - and maybe that they’re also now on my Friends list.  I’m having trouble with connectivity issues, so it might be a half a show of this theme, and a half of something else that I’d have to decide on if that happened. Prolly covers - cause they seem the most like left overs. :-) Tune in tomorrow to find out! ;-) 9am Eastern ThatStationRadioLive.com If you’re into it - come into the Chat Room - it’s always wicked fun in there! :-)

I’ve been in a shitty mood today.  Sort of woke up that way really. I feel a little like Zoiberg from Futurama when he was all swollen with male jelly and generally being a jerk to everyone.  Not that I’m filled with male jelly, or a man like crab being. But still.  My iTrip broke on Thursday.  Since they don’t even MAKE the iPod mini I got (about 2 years mind you) I went to Ebay to find one. I got it for a steal - less than 13 bucks including shipping. They say they ship next day, but seeing as Thanksgiving is Thursday I’m not sure when it’ll get here. That fact does help the shitty mood.  The fact that I’ve been volunteered to work (pretty much for free) with yet another client on Thursday, does not.  It’s a pattern, and I’m about |-| close to end of my patience rope.  My kitten boy (who’ll be 2 in Jan) took a chunk out of my finger today.  He REALLY wanted my fucking oatmeal I guess.  It hurt.  It’s ugly, but at least I’m not having an allergic reaction to the band aid.

p.s.  If you’re offended that I say Happy Holidays (or some other fucked up version of Xmahanakwanzika) instead of Merry Christmas - that’s YOUR problem. Not mine! K, thanks, bye! ;-)

I did my full two hour show, and then threw in a couple of extra sets to round it up to THREE hours! It was great fun! :-) Don’t forget that the game to win a “gift pack” still stands! :-) All you have to do, by Friday Nov 24th pm EST, is email me @ the title of the FIVE movie clips that I play during the show, AND wether or not I played a song by them during the show, and you win! :-) It’s that easy! As of this posting no one has won one yet! ;-) The other game in the show was won by Pandora. She correct guessed the Mystery Song - Chin Chin Choo - Sandeep Chowta - Bollywood Hollywood (Original Soundtrack).  She won a $10 iTunes gift certificate! :-) I had loads of fun playing all these songs, and people who listened live seems to have a good time! ;-) I hope that you do too! :-) You can even hear a fun jingly kitty bell in the background! ;-)

Today is Nov 17th.  It’s my “half birthday”! :-) Basically it means that starting tomorrow, my birthday is officially CLOSER than further away! :-) It’s the very VERY start of “The Birthday Season!”

So, where’s my presents?! ;-) I kid. I kid.  But - ya know - Xmahanakwanzika is like 6 weeks away, yo! :-)
