Never been a big fan, particularly in recent years. While I do not doubt, she is stunning and still holds that magic, her focus dropped from the music onto the peripheral elements of show business. Yet, it is only now, I feel she has returned. It was the early 1990s, when her soulful, innocent voice, wholesome naturally beautiful features, gave the package of angel, untouched by man. Sweet Fantasy leaves less to the imagination now, than it ever did then. While I may not have been taking as much notice of her celebrity status, I have been waiting for a hit single, in the same vain as her original material. It has taken nearly a decade, but it has been worth the wait. ‘We Belong Together’, has everything a soft ballad needs, but the soulful vocal touch, which only a unique women could add, makes it sound so much sweeter. Perhaps I should go the full distance and buy Mimi. Watch this space, or rather this page.

The weekend was the story of three Doctors, which I forgot to mention. The series finale of Doctor Who, with a swift and rather unimpressive regeneration. The saving grace, was the fact that we long to see how well David can match up with Chris. If it was based purely on the sound of the name, I know who my money would be on. I think, I am not alone in thanking Eccleston on a job well done, bringing back not just a character from the dead, but giving him life, credibility and some of the staying power, we expect from all our super heroes. Yet, Dr. Who is not like any other comic book hero. The sense of mystery that surrounds him, his over blown arrogance, his willingness to sacrifice everything for the human race, that wide eyed smile and those big hears. I hope Dave, does his own thing and doesn’t try to be a CE copycat. How long is the wait until the Christmas Invasion?.

Oh yes, I did say three Doctors. The other doctor makes a fleeting appearance on Saturday morning show, Ministry of Mayhem. Played by funnyman Peter (his surname does not work for my family orientated web site) a bungling European scientist (a mixture of German and Scandinavian tongue) he carries out mad experiments each week. They don’t make Saturday Kids television, like they used to!

A close, dear friend was to departs off MSN last night. He had decided to uninstall as it had become such a distraction and annoyance in his life. Thankfully, tonight I find he has decided against it, so I am glad to be speaking to him while I write this entry. I could not live without MSN. It is the crown jewels of my net experience. The funny thing is, I was a very late adopter of the software and have only started using it regularly in the last six years or so. Hardly anyone at college used it, so there was no need to come online. The most important feature was being given instant notification if you had a mail message. Yet now, it is the first thing I use at home and in the office. Read this article to find out why!

Finally making some progress of getting my faulty motherboard replaced. I have to go back to the retailer and it should be organised tomorrow. Then I can get my PC built by this weekend. I will be grateful to once again have a stable system that does not reboot itself every few hours and constantly come up with a blue screen of death. While, I am told all it needs is a format and reinstall, something tells me that there is something more seriously wrong. Thankfully I have copied most of my crucial personal data onto CD or portable media. Just a case of building the new PC and copy over the MP3s. Then I am happy, but will my PC last that long? It is not just on it’s last legs it is on it’s last microchips. Talking of which?
