High point of my week:

I finally got my copy of Terry Prachett’s Hogfather the movie.

***GLEEE!!!!!***

and for the uninitiated it is not a horror movie, It's.... Terry Prachett. that's all you can call it. When I toured England I was looking in to a gift shot window I saw a Skeletal Santa and thought it was in poor taste. Then I read the sign next to it and it said Death as the Hogfather. and as soon as I saw that I loved it. This is one of my Favorite Prachett books.

Happy Robbie Burns day every Body.

You know this day dosn’t get enough press. It’s a Scottish version of St’ paddies day, with whiskey and Haggis. What could be better then that? I just with I could go out and celebrate it properly. But with the hours I’m working I’m not feeling comfortable going out before I have to go to work.

Well I’ve Started my new job. I am now the night Cleaner at both Montana’s and Kelsies Restaurant, and I’ve even agreed to go in twice a week to the new Breakfast lunch restaurant, Tutie Frutie , up the road. I hope I’m not bighting off more then I can chew here. I’m starting to get it together, but it’s hard on the body to readjust to working all night and sleeping through the day. But not too worry my friends I promise you this I will not shirk my duties as your host of the And Now show. In fact, prepare to be amused by my sleep deprivation hallucinations and Dementia. Should make for some interesting shows.

Well for the start of a new year I started off with a new Audio Drama. STAR WARS! It’s an interesting show. Goes into the characters a bit more then the movies did. And if you think that the voice actor of Luce Skywalker has it down pat your right, because they got Mark Hammel to reprise his role for the show. Neat.


High Point Of The Week
I went in to the Source to check out flash drives and while there I grabbed there flier. In it I found that they had 22’ flat screen monitors on sale for almost half price. I talked to one of the sales reps and was told that they just had the display model left. I couldn’t really refuse such a good price so I bought it. The man went into the back to get its packaging. He returned with out it and tolled me that they couldn’t find the packaging it came in and so he is willing to give me an additional 10% off the sale price. Is that Sweet or what?

Have fun and Take Care of each other.

Today was a special day. Today I looked back at all the music I played over the past 52 weeks and played some of the new stuff that I really enjoyed.

I also announced on Air what my New Years Resolutions are and would like to repeat them here

Resolution # 1
To get fit. Not to loose weight, but to actually feel like I’m a heather person.

Resolution # 2
Get at least 3 stories in print. I have works here that are just collecting dust and I think they are ready for the world to read.

Resolution # 3
Wright at least 5 more stories. Come on I can at least get five rough drafts done in a year.

Resolution # 4
Get Organized. It would be nice to be able to find the things I need around here.

Resolution # 5
Bring Sexy Back! What? You don’t think I can do it?

And like I said on air, if any one catches me doing somthing oposed to what my resolutions are they can come up and kick me on the shins.

Well its that time of the year that they bring out the spookes of Christmas Past present and future and put a scare on on the skinflints of the world.

There is always a new version of A Christmas Carol going every year, be it a reading, play, book, comic, movie or T.V show. But to give Mr. Dickens his props he wrote a timeless story. A story that really tugs on the old heart strings, and from what I gather he just wrote it quick to get out of debt. I wonder if he realized how influential it was or would believe that it would still be so popular so many years after his death. During Dickens time traditional Christmas celebrations ere on the wane and it has been said that Dickens single handedly renewed traditional Christmas with his story.

Here are some of the Modern adaptation of the tale.


Scrooge (1951), starring Alastair Sim as Scrooge and Mervyn Johns and Hermione Baddeley as the Cratchits.

Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983), an animated short film featuring the various Walt Disney characters (including characters from Wind in the Willows, Robin Hood and The Three Little Pigs), with Scrooge McDuck fittingly playing the role of Ebenezer Scrooge. This version was based on the 1972 audio musical entitled Disney's A Christmas Carol. Most of the cast remained unchanged; however, in the audio version, Merlin (from The Sword in the Stone) and the Queen (from Snow White, in her hag guise) portrayed the Ghosts of Christmas Past and Future, respectively (the Ghost of Christmas Present was portrayed by Willie the Giant, as in the film version), whereas in the movie they were played by Jiminy Cricket and Pete.

Scrooged (1988), a remake in a contemporary setting with Bill Murray being a misanthropic TV producer who is haunted by the ghosts of Christmas. Directed by Richard Donner.

The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), featuring the various Muppet characters, with Michael Caine as Scrooge. This adaption also adds a character named Robert Marley, who is Jacob's brother and was a second partner in Scrooge's business. He appears with Jacob as a ghost. The two are played by Statler and Waldorf. Also with Gonzo as Charles Dickens, with Rizzo the Rat tagging along, being "just here for the food."

Rich Little's Christmas Carol (1978), a HBO television special in which impressionist Rich Little plays several celebrities and characters in the main roles.
An American Christmas Carol (1979), an adaptation starring Henry Winkler at the height of his fame from the television series Happy Days, where the story is set in Depression era New England, and the Scrooge character is named Benedict Slade.

Bugs Bunny's Christmas Carol (1979), an animated television special featuring the various Looney Tunes characters, with the role of Scrooge going to Yosemite Sam.

Northern Exposure used A Christmas Carol as the basis for its episode Shofar, So Good (1994), which depicts the Ghosts of Yom Kippur Past, Present, and Future visiting Dr. Joel Fleischman to encourage him to truly atone for his sins.

A Diva's Christmas Carol (2000), a humorous adaptation starring Vanessa Williams as bitchy diva Ebony Scrooge who is transformed into a kind-hearted soul.

Blackadder's Christmas Carol (1988): a parody. In contrast to the typical Blackadder archetype — a conniving, selfish blackguard, the Victorian era Ebenezer Blackadder is a rather wet character, exploited by the other Christmas Carol characters who persistently take advantage of his good nature, reducing him to poverty. He is visited by a (single) Ghost of Christmas who shows him his ancestors (Lord Blackadder and Mr. E. Blackadder, butler to the Prince Regent), and two possible futures. One follows from Ebenezer emulating his "clever, charming . . . but disgraceful" ancestors and becoming "a complete b*****d" and sees his (eventual) descendant ruling the Universe. The other shows Ebenezer continuing as a doormat and leads to a future much less desirable. Convinced that he needs to change his ways he reclaims all that was taken from him the previous day and establishes himself as "the nastiest man in the world".

"Christmas Mikey" (2006 television episode) Season one Finale of Kappa Mikey, pitting Ozu in the role of Scrooge, and three Ghosts who resemble Japanese samurai.

Now I haven’t seen all of these, but I do believe I will be trying to hunt a few of them down.
