The Girl And The Robot

Really into Röyksopp right now. Especially this song. Hope you enjoy.

As always, click artwork for download.

I'm pretty sure downloads are only good for 7 days, so get it quick!

Thought this was cute.

Summer Skin

Arrived home from good times at one of my new favorite places to be; Melissa's cottage.

Was drunk (and other things) for the better part of twenty-four hours. Was skinny dipping, kissed someone after just meeting, and sun bathed. Definitely one of the better middle of the week weekends I've had in a long time. Don't want to be back to reality.

Plan is now to work and have one last big shin dig at the end of summer. A farewell to everyone.

Had portrait done with mother today while walking through downtown area. I find it to be rather intriguing. Enjoyable nonetheless.

I am now going to sleep, v. good as am awfully tired from lack of sleep. Must remember to shower and unpack car in the morning.

Goodnight.

Balled Of Hugo Chavez

Known about these guys for a while now, had a track off of iTunes ages ago but never really gave them a try until now. This entire album is absolutely amazing. All kinds of great jams. I have no doubt that they will be the soundtrack to the remainder of my summer.

Highlights of Jackson Square: Deadlines, Ballad Of Hugo Chavez, Tragic Flaw.

New Year's Resolutions Pt. 1

I WILL NOT

Drink more than fourteen alcohol units a week.

Smoke.

Waste money on: pasta-makers, ice-cream machines or other culinary devices which will never use; books by unreadable literary authors to put impressively on shelves; exotic underwear, since pointless as have no boyfriend.

Behave sluttishly around the house, but instead imagine others are watching.

Spend more than earn.

Allow in-tray to rage out of control.

Fall for any of the following: alcoholics, workaholics, commitment phobics, people with girlfriends or wives, misogynists, megalomaniacs, chauvinists, emotional fuckwits or freeloaders, perverts.

Get annoyed with Mum, Una Alconbury or Perpetua.

Get upset over men, but instead be poised and cool ice-queen.

Have crushes on men, buy instead form relationships based on mature assessment of character.

Bitch about anyone behind their backs, but be positive about everyone.

Obsess about Daniel Cleaver as pathetic to have crush on boss in manner of Miss Moneypenny or similar.

Sulk about having no boyfriend, but develop inner poise and authority and sense of self as woman of substance, complete without boyfriend, as best way to obtain boyfriend.

Straight in the head

This is what my life has become. "Eat ice cream." WTF? Who needs to remind themselves to eat ice cream?

Gots to get working on those Lifetime Fatty memberships. Must, for obvious reasons, make mine first.

Have been reading Bridget Jones's Diary and am not quite sure whether I enjoy the book or movie more. Started today and am already through the first two months. Sometimes I fear I am too much like the singleton Bridget.

(Not) Superstitious

Another edition of New Music Sunday, which appears to be turning into New Music Monday. Again, my apologizes on being late once again. How am I away every weekend?

Was at SappyFest in Sackville, New Brunswick this weekend. Very good music all around. A favorite of which is Snailhouse. I was able to find the album pretty easily, so I will sample you one of the tracks this week! Hope you enjoy.
