Waiting for a star to fall

I find it amusing that two remixes by two independent artists of an old Boy Meets Girl song, called Waiting for a Star to Fall are at positions two and three on the current ARIA Dance Chart (as of 04/04/2005). At position two is Falling Star by the Sunset Strippers and at position three is Star2Fall by Cabin Crew. This all is a bit weird because the actual difference between these two remixes is small....

Stomach Ache

Apparently I have acute gastritis. Since tuesday I’ve had a pain in my stomach region and I finally saw a doctor about it today. Got drugs now, but I can’t drink fizzy drink, which unfortunately includes Coca-Cola. I guess I probably should stick away from other acidic things too. My biggest question now is what caused this nagging pain? On sunday I ate some Subway and some roast pork/lamb that was a little cold, but well cooked....

Sprechen Sie Deutsches?

Hmm, maybe with this I may one day fulfill my dream of speaking fluent german. Its a pity it doesn’t pronounce the phrases for me.

Who stopped the music?

Well my battery died today. So I had to fork out about $80 for a new one. In the process of replacing it the car stereo had its ‘anti-theft’ mechanism activated. Which means I need a 3 digit code to unlock it. Unfortunately I don’t have a 3 digit code, and I’ve used up 3 of my 4 attempts trying simple guesses. Which means until I find the correct 3 digit code (with a high level of certainty it is the correct code) or I take it somewhere to get ‘fixed’ (I wonder if I could do it myself), I no longer have a functioning stereo....

The year is almost 1984

Its kinda scary seeing how close we are to an Orwellian society. I recommend going out and reading 1984 by George Orwell and then go over here and look at where we are at. I find it ironic that while the US prides itself on its freedom it is continues to become more and more oppressive.

My ring fund

As it turns out I, along with both my brothers and a cousin, am soon to recieve another piece of inheritance from our only surviving grand parent. Like a lot of inheritance this resonable chunk of money has been set aside for a specific future event - my engagement. The money is to be used to put towards an engagement ring. This is somewhat ironic. I have friends who have spent a lot of time scrimping and saving for such a thing, or have foregone such traditions due to the rather extravegant expense (well for a student at least) when they got engaged to their fiance....

Sparsity Blues

While I’m not really blue about it, my hair, for the uninformed (which constitutes entirely of random visitors) is getting increasingly sparse. The density is decreasing and the hair is fading into nothingness. In other words I suffer from a hereditary condition known as male pattern baldness. This I don’t have a problem with. I can live with my head being hairless (mind you I’m not sure I like the increased risk of skin cancer, but at least sun cream is easier to apply when their isn’t any hair getting in the way)....

Rabbit Stew?

We have a rabbit eating grass in our backyard. Its white with evil red eyes. ….. I wonder if it tastes good? Mmm, rabbit meat… Maybe I’ll keep it - it might keep the grass short.

storage reloaded

Well church held an op-shop to get some money to buy a digital projector for a less well-to-do church out in Minto. Besides finding 370,000 Indonesian Rupiah and a AU$1 note (printed prior to 1970) in some clothing I managed to score an adequate, yet cheap, solution to my CD storage problem (previously discussed here). I managed to score a CD drawer thingo and for $6 it does alright. But I have some criticisms....
