Fri 13 August 2004 - It has arrived

Posted in Consumerism — Daniel @ 6:04pm

Overnight the power apparently went off for a little while, resetting most clocks in the house. I was whinging about this to a colleague at work, and got onto the whole saga of my old alarm clock and its hopefully imminent replacement, lost somewhere in CourierLand.

Not five minutes later, another bloke comes up. “Just signed for you on this, Daniel”, and hands me a package. From Sony.

The clock. The clock has arrived!

Fri 13 August 2004 - Annoying songs

Posted in Music — Daniel @ 8:12am

Annoying songs I have had going around in my brain recently:

  • Roger Voudouris: Get used to it — he of the red pullover and hair blowing in the wind. Is there any more frightening sight?
  • Billy Joel: For the Longest Time — hangover from that night at the cinema when they were playing his greatest hits? Will this be circulating in my mind for the longest time?
  • Cold Chisel: My baby
  • Peter, Paul and Mary: Leaving on a Jet Plane — possibly triggered by Marita’s imminent holiday to Europe, and casting me back to 20 years ago in Year 8 when a latter-day hippy with a guitar disguised as a teacher had us all in the classroom singing various aging easy-listening songs to badly mistyped lyrics: Oh babe I hate to do

Hmm. That’s all. For now.
