Last night I woke up with hypnopompic hallucenations that I was stroking out. I also had sleeping paralysis for a good 45 seconds. It's about the most fun a girl can have.

This morning, whilst making a mix tape, I found 'God' from Under The Pink in my iTunes. I have no idea where my actual copy of that album is but dammit I love it. I remember buying it from a cheap shop in Singapore and then being sort of afraid of it for about six months.

Today I have a double hangover. Tra La!

Songs I've listened to a lot recently,

1) Mistress - Holly Throsby
2) Heartbeats - The Knife
3) Waltz (Better Than Fine) - Fiona Apple
4) Summer In The City - Regina Spektor
5) This Charming Man - The Smiths

I'm embarrassed by my blog; virtually nobody makes comments on it. Also, I'm disappointed in my few friends who would have cause to email me regularly but don't. There is always time, even for a quick line. My only explanation for the lack of love on this front is that once you label yourself as the reliable emailer, or avid blogger, people get a ( Read more... )

This last week has been a bit ridiculous, but then, I'm a bit ridiculous. Tonight I was contemplating the fact that I'll be flying - in the air (!) - for hours upon hours all alone. It scared me shitless. Most of this is probably due to the fact that I'm hungover and fragile; I'm usually all for big boxes in the sky with me trapped inside ( Read more... )

I just bought Young Modern. It is lyrically absurd but the music is glorious, like a fruit tingle or a kaleidescope: equal parts Gilbert & Sullivan, White Album and daytime high. Marvelous.

"Nowadays… A passage peppered with commas - which in the past would have indicated painstaking and authoritative editorial attention - smacks simply of no backbone. People who put in all the commas betray themselves as moral weaklings with empty lives and out-of-date reference books." (Truss, 2004, p. 97-98)

I didn't know that about myself.

Yesterday I took EVERYTHING off my iPod. There are now nine albums on there.

1) Bazooka Tooth - Aesop Rock
2) Funeral - Arcade Fire
3) Homogenic - Bjork
4) We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse
5) Pieces of the People We Love - The Rapture
6) From A Basement On A Hill - Elliott Smith
7) 77 - Talking Heads
8) The Smiths - The ( Read more... )

Today feels like winter, two or so years ago, or maybe more? I keep trying to figure out why and I come up with things like my brown jacket, fish & chips, some random street in a different city at night... it's none of it right ( Read more... )

Recently a customer came into our store asking for help with voice dialing. After some fiddling and several attempts at an explanation was to why it was not working this little exchange took place.

Brooke: So what appears to be happening is that your phone adds an automatic voice tag whenever a new contact is added but it won't actually work ( Read more... )
