In highschool I used to transcribe the melodies of songs from things like Harry Potter or The Lord Of The Rings and other soundtracks when I couldn't find the sheet-music to play.  I only used to do the melodies though and then I'd usually just play them on the flute.  I was always impressed that my brother was able to listen to the Rugrats theme ( Read more... )

I've always considered the collar bone and the neck/jaw area to be the sexiest part of the male body, but this guy Michael who I've been sort of seeing for a few weeks came over today and I could hardly take my eyes off his hands! They're so big and strong looking, and I kept on thinking of what they'd look like playing the piano or making ( Read more... )

I don't think I've posted about Music Store Dude yet. His name is Sacha. He is the first person I've ever met who narrates and raves and gesticulates wildly whilst playing excerpts of a piano piece to give the listener an idea of what it's about in the same manner that I do! He works at a music store that's a good half hour drive from my house ( Read more... )

Just picked up Mum and Nanna from the airport. On the way home, we got stuck behind a car with a "Jesus is the answer" bumper sticker. Mum, Dad and I made jokes about it for a good 5-10 minutes and then Nanna said "oh look, that car says Jesus is the answer"! Mum, in the back seat with me, reached over and patted my hand and said "this is going ( Read more... )

Whilst cleaning her car both inside and out this morning, Sploogal found twice as many cd's as she had thought were in her glovebox and on her back seat, one dollar and seventy cents in change, and one Gnome hair (used condition).

I freaking hate writing up performance reviews/development plans for work. I have to find about 6 different ways to say "I just want to do my job" without sounding sarcastic. At SGIO I didn't even bother about censoring my sarcasm, but here I actually give a damn about my job. Bloody corporate bullshit...

Mum and Dad are back from France. Among other more fun pressies, which I shall detail later, Mum decided to bring back a little bottle of water from Lourdes - one each for Rhys and I. I know that Mum still considers herself Catholic, but she disagrees with a lot of the Catholic views and won't talk about what she does and doesn't believe. I know ( Read more... )

To get from the lifts to the office area at my work, there are two glass doors you can go through. One of them was broken by a trady last week so they put a big wooden panel over until it can be fixed because it's a security risk.

In the meantime, the other door has been propped open to facilitate people moving in and out of the office with ease ( Read more... )

Mum decided this morning around 8.30 that I'd had enough of a sleep in and came in with Cooper to wake me up.  I was already awake so I heard them coming and sat up a little and opened my eyes in an effort to stave off slime.  Was unsuccessful.  Cooper rested his head atop my fort of pillows and said good morning by way of SLIME.  Needless to say, ( Read more... )
