well not good as such, but I finally found out where the parcel I sent from germany is.
The stupid twunts at DHL sent it by sea instead of by air - so it won't arrive until around April. :(

Alt: write out scholarship application essays, and watch supernatural.

alt alt: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbTZKxe4m7E
I like this equally (if not more so than) as the original by Crowded House.

I love Kasey doing Better be Home Soonon that album.

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 4 Feb 2011, 7:43, Reply)

it's the only Kasey song I can vaguely stand.
I shamefully do own an album of hers, but I never listened to it again after the first time I heard it.
Although she is HUGE in country scenes here, so maybe she's just not for me!
(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 7:45, Reply)

I love country and I like her crying voice.
I can see how it grates though.
I love her family's band doing 'Sometimes She Forgets'.

I don't mind some country.
Noel and I listened to bluegrass on our roadtrip. was a bit of an eye-opener!
(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 8:03, Reply)

Poppet, you made me cry
My ex and his brother performed that song at their dad's funeral.

I was in a good mood and now I'm all weepy.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 7:50, Reply)

oh damn. I'm sorry!
for me it's a happy song and I just thought I'd share it since you said to share our favourite songs...
(Poppet some assembly required., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 8:02, Reply)

Heh, s'OK.
It's not like you'd know, is it? Anyway, it is nice to hear, in a way.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 8:04, Reply)

Nope
Unless you count the surprisingly generous severance package I could take if I wanted to leave.

alt: gym, then go round mates, get takeout, play games, have a laugh.
altalt: right this second it's www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yC6xftLzrY but it can change without notice.

I finally know what I'm doing next weekend, but where I'm going is a surprise
This weekend I'm a busy bee, going to friends to check progress on her new/old house, then eat curry with some old friends, meeting friend's new boyfriend, taking Nana on a march, having Christmas dinner with my pub workmates, and going round to my folks' house for a Still Game marathon.

I'lll need a proper Roota weekend to recover from this activity. Not enough lounging.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 4 Feb 2011, 7:47, Reply)

That does sound pretty bloody epic.
I don't think I could be that selfless.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 7:51, Reply)

I'm not normally.
I normally ration the time I share with other people. I need alone time at weekends. I get some through the week as well, but you're thinking about work and stuff then aren't you.
Even though they're all mostly things I wouldn't mind doing, it's not in a small enough dose this weekend!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 4 Feb 2011, 7:54, Reply)

You truly are brave
I feel aggrieved if one single second of my free time is not spent in my PJs doing exactly what I want.
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 7:58, Reply)

'Zackly.
Last weekend was a good balance of seeing people, sleeping in, bf time and lounging about in jarmers playing with Lego until 2.30pm.
I also like weekends where I don't see a soul from Friday night until Sunday afternoon.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 4 Feb 2011, 8:01, Reply)

I genuinely get excited when I finish work on a Sunday
About how many hours I can spend in my PJs before I go to work on Tuesday.

Well, Bella, I've had no real good news, nothing that springs to mind, but I'm in a posative mood, which is always good.
I'm looking forward to getting into work today where I can work on some Facebook stuff.

uk.pedigree.com/dentastix-denture-your-dog?mId=38813661.2 is awesomeness.

This weekend if the weather is alright I'll be going to this: www.meetup.com/londonpugs/

I can't say me fave song, it all depends on my mood, I quite like that "True Colours" one though, by cindy lawpa, or maybe Kiss the Rain, or that "I'm a bitch" one, or that Des'Re one "Gotta be". I haven't heard any Gabrielle in ages, I like her too. But somtimes I'm in the mood for some heavy metal so I like Offspring too.

Well mine is
My blog has been linked on a very good website. I didn't know how this happened, but found out it's because one of the people who runs it (who writes for the Guardian!) read it and decided he wanted to put it up. He is also interested in cross-posting stuff I've written in future. Also, the band I stole the name of the blog from sent me a message to say they like it. This has made me stupidly happy.

EDIT: It was on here liberalconspiracy.org/ . You can't see it now though, which is why I'm linking. Oh yeah, and a journo from Standpoint saw something I was getting righteously annoyed about on Twitter the other day, read the blog and asked to interview me for an article she's writing. I think she might just want to get in my knickers though.

Alt: The Disappointed might be coming over this morning, then it's work today and tomorrow, but on Sunday I am going to my godson's christening. This means an opportunity to get shitfaced with my favourite relative, my cousin Thom (godson's dad). Yay.

Alt alt: This is the first song I ever knew all the words to, aged 4: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hV2lCnG5VA&feature=fvst

Also, you just NEED this song in your life: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljPFZrRD3J8

(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Fri 4 Feb 2011, 8:07, Reply)

It's by b3tans, but it's for everyone, help them break out onto the blogging scene, there are a few established (at least, by b3ta terms) signed up.
I'll be really interested if there is a clash in opinion, and letting people just roll with it and see how that goes. The only types of things I don't really want to see on there is "[b3tan] is this/that/other", because it would alienate any readers who aren't from b3ta. I also don't wanna see any NSFW stuff or iligel stuff on there eaither though (eg, "blah blah's a peado").

Hit me up a gaz if you're interested, it would be good to get someone politically aware on board =)

Hello there.
It's a fucking brilliant record, and mind-bendingly rare. It took me 20 years (I did do one or two other things during that time, though) to find a copy and mine's a bootleg.

My parlous finances are really getting me down. Basically my life’s a piece of shit and it’s only by extravagance and high living that I am able to momentarily distract myself from this fact. I’m broke so it’s ‘slap in the face by reality’ time again. It’s probably good for me but it fucking well doesn’t feel like it. I was going to do some mushrooms tomorrow night but in my current state a bum trip is almost a foregone conclusion.

Yup.
Still do occasionally, but then Nana bought some and didn't like them so she gave them to me, and I like those ones best. Also Merrell.

Morning!
Good news? Not really, but I had a small bit of bad news yesterday, but no biggie. I've discovered the joy of chorizo in chilli, that's magnificent.

Alt: I might be out for a friends birthday, but I'm planning nothing. That's fine for me!

Alt Alt: Of all time? Oof, no idea. I just have songs I like from time to time.
Currently, I've got This one, this one, this one, this one and finally, this one all taking it in turns, circling my head.

EDIT: OI, MONTY! THERE'S A NAMEDROPPING OPPORTUNITY HERE!

Other than Kitty out of the blue saying she's bought me a belated birthday present! This is awesome.

Favourite song EVAH: Live version because it was the last song they played at their last proper UK gig. I was there and it was beautiful.

Seems we're going to a gay pub afterwards though, I think Helen (you don't know her, but I'm saying her name anyway) is meeting a date there. Quite why she's dragging three post-gig-sweaty mates to a date is beyond me.

I didn't know the original when I heard the Johnny Cash version
So I'm a little biased.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Fri 4 Feb 2011, 9:49, Reply)

Good choice sir.
Johnny Cash's cover of that gives me mixed feelings; on the one hand it's a very decent tune, on the other it angers me that more people are aware of it than the infintely superior original.

Oh, god, I know
They asked me about 5 or 6 questions and I talked for nearly ten minutes to do that bit - what I enjoyed about it, what I'm going to do with the money - so for them to pick that 6 second soundbite was gutting.

Thank you though Al, that's very decent of you.

Sara Cox once joked about asking the White Stripes how they met, when they were still pretending to be brother and sister for some bizarre reason
I think a better question to ask them would be "WHY did you meet?" or "can I have the time I wasted watching your astonishingly dull set at Glastonbury in 2005 back please?"

it still means more people are aware of the song. If they didn't know the Cash version, they wouldn't know it at all. And the Cash version is different, it does add something, although I do much prefer the NIN version.

Big bulbous wine glasses up to half full of wine (depending on the glass) float. Which makes the bath and glass of wine combination even better.

Works with red, I can't imagine it would be so nice with white. Not that white is actually wine.
