Happy Blogger :-)
I nipped onto blogger just for a quick look and I noticed I had topped 10,000 view's. I know that I haven't been around much of late; posting or reading. But you guys have stuck with me and for that I love you all.

It's time to prioritise
So the last time I sat down and seriously wrote was the beginning of January. Pathetic for a supposed writer, right? In the mean time I have tried to cram way too many other things into my already measly free time! Sketching, painting, photography, typewriter restoration and just plain reading oh and..... you get the picture! I am not giving anything my all any more and this just makes me sad.
From now on you are going to be getting a little less of me. I am going to drop down to posting once a week (pause for the celebrations). I don't want to stop posting altogether because basically I'm scared that this little blog is the only thing that keeps me writing. It's just about time I woke up and smelt the coffee, no-one is going to give me a handy extra couple of hours a day so I am going to have to find time myself!
Lets say farewell thee well to Tuesday Tunes/Tuesday Tickles with one clip that gives a little of both.

It's a Tickly Tuesday Folks
Tuesday tickles....
View original here
I love the fact that it is only the paper at the end that appears to be having any fun, I want to be the paper :-)
Oh and why not, a Tuesday tune....
I just loved the little suitcase, so cute ;-)
Anyway, happy Tuesday. What is keeping you smiling this week?

Family Choice Tuesday Tunes
So in honor of the family trip to our nation's capital I have opened up this weeks Tuesday post to the clan.
Here are our songs that give you a little snippet of our trip.
Here are our songs that give you a little snippet of our trip.
The Husband's choice, not particularly original but it had to be included!
Munchkin Number 1's choice. British Museum for a little Egyptian spotting!
Munchkin Number 2 didn't choose this, but she wants to see where the Queen lives. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth I have taken the opportunity to include a slice of musical genius here!
Finally my choice, because we are on holiday after all. Ok so I have been busted for crow-barring in another of my favourite bands and I don't care (PS a little sweary at the beginning for those of a sensitive disposition!)
So the soundtrack to our break away. Hope you are having a good week, stay tuned on Thursday for the piccies ;-)

My weekend in song.
I think I am just going to call Tuesday's 'Tuesday Tunes' given that I never feel particularly jokey or cheery on a Tuesday. Bah!
So today you get the soundtrack to my weekend, or at least the one that has been floating around in the mush of my mind!!
The weekend didn't start well!!
I kind of retreated into music for a while and found this acoustic version of a 30 Seconds to Mars song I love.
But is is funny how a well placed text or message from a friend can help so much and this song made me think of that friend...I only hope she knows how awesome she is and that I help her in some small way too!
So smiling we went off into the woods for a wander and had an amazing day.

So here is hoping that wasn't the end of the world I saw coming and just a little storm. Something a little chilly and rocky at the time but weathered all the same.
What song best describes you weekend or day?

Curiouser and curiouser
Just having a little look back over recent posts and I realised I have been somewhat laxed about including some cool tunes. This seems odd to me because music has been increasingly taking over my life.
It all started when a friend of mine started to try and 'educate' me.....apparently I wasn't listening to some great bands that I should have been! I have to admit I wasn't! What I was listening to wasn't bad, it was just quite limited.
He reminded me of the likes of the Stereophonics to my music library.
Introduced me to the Lostprophets (regular readers will be aware of the minor obsession that sparked) and Stone Sour.
By this point I had headed down a rabbit hole of devouring everything I could get my hands on from any of the bands that I liked even a little. Just as things were starting to dry up a little other friends started stepping in with suggestions of what I should try, so next came Placebo
And still more with Gas Light Anthem, Queens of the Stone Age....
Until my latest obsession popped up in the form of 30 Seconds to Mars:
At this point I started to think I had hit the bottom of my rabbit hole and could happily climb out enjoying all the music I had discovered along the way. Sound in theory, apparently though I jumped into a rabbit hole that dropped me straight into wonderland because at the bottom I discovered Last FM. Now I have eaten and drunk all the things I had to to go through the door into a whole new wonderful world packed with even more musical delights. So I will leave you with Simple Plan...my latest discovery and hopefully not my last ;-)
Oh what the hell I couldn't decide which one to include so you get both, well why not they are good songs!
I hope you enjoyed your trip down my musical rabbit hole; we had to have a trip to wonderland seeing as it was Lewis Carroll's Birthday this week!
What do you think, have I been educated well enough? Are there things in your musical rabbit hole that should be in mine? Let me know, I'd love to discover more!

Not in the mood to laugh Tunes
As I seem to be suffering with a terminal case of the holiday blues today is definitely a Tuesday tunes day and not tickles!!
I thought I might just treat you all to another shot of my latest lyrical obsession and let y'all enjoy a little more 30 Seconds to Mars. The irony of the name is not lost on me given I am typing whilst watching the re-make of Total Recall and thinking about the original Arnie version!
My favourite song of theirs so far is Hurricane, unfortunately I seem to cry every time I hear it. Oh and even the censored version of the video is a little *ahem* Fifty Shades. Yes well if you want to see the extended version, video and all click here. Otherwise here is a PG version of lyrics only for your enjoyment :-)

What songs make you cry? Is there a reason or did it sneak up on you like this song did with me?
