Batfreak's Cave

It's actually 11pm here, just thought I'd say that first, I don't logon at 5am (usually) for any reason! And here I am, at the 2MBS station, with time on my hands for a fatter blog - yay. Here's why, and more:

1. The same week I hear about a mate missing an physio appointment (long awaited, long needed) because admin has ''two booking books'', and having to wait 2 more weeks for the next appointment. I'm here at the station with a useless studio booking (ie a double booking), because the same thing has happened here - my booking went into LAST WEEK'S sheet - crikey, some people just don't know how to do the right thing....

2. I saw CELEBRITY BOXING on TV for the first time this week. Picture this (if you can) : SCREECH from Saved By The Bell (a 90s classroom sitcom), versus HORSHACK from Welcome Back Kotter (a 70s classroom sitcom).... guess who won, and left the other with a nasty shiner?... hilarious.

3. REARRANGE the words 'nice love' into ONE WORD.... what you get is neither NICE nor LOVELY.... I love the foibles of the English language!
(so does Chuck D from Public Enemy, I've noticed)

4. In the recent US poll for WORST SONGS EVER, I knew that Achy Break Heart would make the Top 10.... but Ice Ice Baby??!!?? C'mon!

5. A store assistant at HMV this week did NOT even try to accelerate my order of a certain CD single, AFTER I said I might as well download it for free... I've already waited two weeks. (PS found it, in an urban store, the next day!)

That's all for now!

ANZAC DAY, and the last of them just turned 105 years old.
It certainly puts a historic sense on it, i remember attending the services/marches in Grafton NSW, where the town was FULL of 'ZACs...
or at least, it felt like that... NO MORE WAR!!!!!!!

I Luv black humor, so today's blog is someone else's due credit. The 'net is full of this, so I don't feel bad at all about blogging it. Enjoy.

Shoot, my name's not Mary T, it's Marty B. Sorry about the confusion.
Actually, thanx to the same MISPRINT in 3D World magazine ages ago, I was DJ Mary B for a while
in the Clan Analogue circles.... ho ho. very funny.

I forgot to mention - my radio show antics are all archived over at http://groups.msn.com/martysbatcave
and I have an eBay account WHICH WAS RECENTLY HACKED - that name is christinecomix.
I can't believe, after all the years I've been cybersavvy, that i fell for such an obvious trick: an email asking me for my eBay password. DAMN that e looked authentic, NEVER EVER AGAIN i tell you. the good news is that eBay KNOWS FULL WELL about this sort of thing happening all the time, so they were super-prepared to deal with the fallout. We lost not ONE CENT of credit or credibility, thanx to them reacting so effectively.
Welcome to the 21st century, please hand in your sense of self.

(Easter is over) Another famous cave was opened this week a VERY LONG TIME AGO, and if you ask me, the male occupant was then off for a quick trip to India, finally buried there..... anyway, enuff about him. HI, MY NAME'S MARTY. I love music. Bet you do too. Hugsto blogspot, ccc, DJ hdd, and you. More soon.
