Trivia blast!
- Be warned, my verbose mode is ON today, and I fully expect to be spending much of today writing. Hopefully not all on here tho!
- Really cannot be bothered with work; seems nobody else can either. One grumbly, one overslept, one talking about wanting a 3-day weekend every week. Me, I woke up extra early, and was out of bed half an hour before the alarm went. Not that that made me any earlier for work, of course, because I simply spent the time writing (see above)...
- iPod playlist amused me greatly today, good old random selection:
- I'm Getting Sentimental - Tommy Dorsey - 50 Big Band Classics (hmmm, a bit slow and moochy...)
- La Conga Blicoti - Joséphine Baker - Gold Collection (this is REALLY hard to walk along to, the rhythm is so infectious - it's that syncopated 4th beat... how a conga should be!)
- From the Blood of the Ancient Ones - Ah Cama-Sotz - The Way to Heresy (fab new album, I really must listen to this lots more)
- Why Are You Here? - Cubanate - Barbarossa (topical question there on the daily commute....)
- War Pigs (live) - Faith No More - Nativity In Black (Mike, you're cute an' all, but LEARN the LYRICS next time, eh?)
- Shitlist - L7 - Natural Born Killers (hehehehehe, no, I really don't have the album.... what's your excuse?)
- Skylark - Gene Krupa - Big Band Ballads
- Firestarter (Edit) - Prodigy - Firestarter Maxi (yes, I have this on CD. One word in defence: Empirion. The remix is 7:51 of pure joy - the best of both bands.)
- Less (Elektronauten rmx) - Haujobb feat. Vanessa - Flatline 1 (bit minimal after the previous track)
- Solace - a-ha - Lifelines (music's a bit mediocre...)
- The Summers of Our Youth - a-ha - Analogue (... but I really like Harket's voice)
- Rockin' Chair - Hoagy Carmichael - Jazz of the 1930s (really jolly!)
- Pure - Gary Numan - Pure
- King Porter Stomp - Benny Goodman - 50 Big Band Classics
Public Service Announcement:
I'm back on the Diet o'Doom. Not a cause for panic, but as before, this means I won't be eating out, I won't be drinking alcohol at all, and I may run out of energy at inopportune moments. I'm still happy to do stuff, and all arrangements stand, just bear in mind that if you want to go out for dinner or drinks, I'll be having water; it doesn't bother me watching you eat, as long as you're happy. Sources of non-food fun, also free fun, are always appreciated :-)
Right, that's yer lot for now. More later, of that there can be little doubt...
