This morning, I woke up early, thanks to my cat of +6 anxious meowing.

1) It is my last day of holidays. On Monday I go back to work. *sobs piteously ( Read more... )

I really do have embarrassing taste in music, sometimes.

After confessing my newfound love of country and western to the world, I must now tell you all that I spent my train ride home listening to Aqua - and not only mouthing along to the words, but pulling funny faces to go with them ( Read more... )

You know how there are some songs that, as soon as you hear the first few notes, you remember exactly what you were doing when you first heard the song?
Or, if the song is from a movie or a tv show, you suddenly really need to see that scene again so you can hear the song in its proper context ( Read more... )

Commiserate with me, for I have become a country & western fan.

It's all Fred Burkle's fault, in a way. She put a poster of The Dixie Chicks up in her lab, and I thought "Well, if Fred likes them, they can't be that bad."
Which, yes, is completely stupid, because
1) Fred is a fictional character

Well, my birthday present was delivered last night.

My spare room is now home to a Yamaha keyboard (full length, and weighted keys) that has beautiful pianoish tones, the ability to sound like an organ or a harpsichord, an inbuilt metronome, and three pedals. It can plug into a computer (if I had a computer worth plugging into, which I don't), and ( Read more... )

You know how you can be listening to music, and not quite realise where it's up to?

I just found myself thinking "huh? Matchbox 20? How did they end up getting a cameo in Wicked?" before it occurred to me that the Wicked soundtrack had finished playing a while ago, and iTunes was now halfway through a different album...

I went out on the weekend and bought a stack of bath-bombs. So I can now relax in nice-smelling water.
Unfortunately, I'm being dutifully water-conscious due to the drought, so it takes me about a week to water my garden with the bathwater before I can use my bath again. Showers are all well and good, but they're not nearly so much fun.

 You know when you get a song stuck in your head, and no matter what you do you can't stop humming it?

Today it's the Crossing The Street song from PlaySchool.
Not the verse, just the chorus. You know:

Then you stop (yes you stop)
And you look (yes you look)
And you listen (nothing coming!)
Then you go...
