I rocked up to work today and my boss is ‘dealing’ with a mouse caught in a mouse trap with the blunt end of a stick. Animals with exoskeletons are much easier to kill for some reason. I don’t mind crushing a spider or cockroach underfoot, but something with fur is a little harder. Especially when its dirty and it will stink and there is no good meat on it to eat....
Hmm, this thing needs an update. Well after deciding over two months ago I would take some time off I’m finally going to do it this week. I really should have taken it earlier. Oh well. Last week my brother bought MacGyver season 1 on DVD and I bought Firefly and TinTin. I have since discovered that DVD boxsets are a huge contributing factor to my present tiredness. So far I have watched 3 of 6 MacGyver discs (2 in the last 2 days), all of FireFly and 1 of 6 TinTin discs....
Hello those who still check this site. Its been a while. I figured I probably should update this so total readership doesn’t end up equal to or less than zero. The desire was to, in one fell swoop, move to my freshly installed, but still highly generic, content management system on my own domain/hosting. However in my true form I have only half started with no clear intention of actually finishing it off....
Mylo has a track out called In My Arms. Now that may not seem like noteworthy news until, that is, you realise the main sample in the song is from an old Boy Meets Girl song, called Waiting for a Star to Fall. Now unlike the two songs mentioned in my earlier post here, this track is a welcome dose of variety. Besides just having a short sample of the phrase “in my arms” repetitively used throughout, a highly predictable structure, and a severe lack of redeeming features besides its ‘dancability’ it is still much better than having two independent acts releasing essentially the same remix....
For those who care, I replaced my torch batteries today. So I have now replaced the original batteries that came with the torch when I bought it over two years ago at the start of 2003. Over those years it has faithfully served me on a number of camps, a hike, and lots of other frequent occasions. After reaching its approx 150hours battery life the batteries finally gave up. Actually I think they gave up about a month or so ago when I noticed a dimming in the torches once radiant glow....
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....
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....
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.
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....
