Tikki Is Five!
It’s another quickie just to say, the Tickster is celebrating her fifth birthday today.

Ten Years
Hard to believe, but today is not only Vincent Price’s 105th birthday and Christopher Lee’s 94th birthday—it’s ten years since Alex Toth passed away. (Peter Cushing’s 103rd was yesterday.)
Most importantly, to me, today is ten years since my mother died. (Yes, she and Alex died on the same day.)
Mom on her 21st birthday, August 13th 1964.

Mom’s 70th
I’m backdating this post. I was preoccupied on the day and later went out with Steve to see a movie and have a quick drink.
But I had to mark the fact that August 13th 2013 would’ve been mom’s 70th birthday. Here’s she aged 21 in 1964…

Birthday
Yeah, it’s my birthday today. Still not too late to send me a gift via PayPal if you think I’m groovy… or something off my Amazon Wishlist, if you like…
Did manage to attend the local Grey Lodge horror meet in Acocks Green (the Spread Eagle) last night. Oddly enough, didn’t talk about horror much, although I did suggest bedroom farce + giallo as a dubious combination of genres. (Not entirely sure whether or not Lucio Fulci managed to do this somewhere or other.)

Ah! Bathtime for Bo!
I almost forget. Today is the 60th birthday of a certain Mr. David Robert Jones (Sir Ziggy to you)!

Is It That Day AGAIN?!
Yeah, it is my birthday today. Not enough time to write anything more than that right now… then again, I normally just moan about it… Read More »Is It That Day AGAIN?!
1095 Days
Well, it’s now December, which means this blog’s three years old. How scary. Life was quite substantially different three years ago (in both a better way and a worse way). Starting a blog was just a laugh at the time, which on reflection might be the best attitude to have, since looking for a greater importance seems bound to fail.

No Letter From the Queen
Well, hey, I’m still here. No wrist-slashing antics during the night. I’m coping with being an old fart remarkably well. By my standards, that is.
And yes, this comes to you from a new computer, which came Tuesday. Last time I bought a new computer, almost two years ago, it was a second-hand piece of tat due to limited funds (my old old one blew up). So, okay, it’s only a computer… but it sure is nice to use compared to the creaky old brute I’ve been stuck with. 18″ TFT too—sexy! And I can burn CDs now. Of course, without a pack of CDs to play with, that isn’t much use. Today is shopping day, so that situation will be remedied shortly.
