Angela Aki - 'Kiss Me Good-Bye'

Album: Kiss Me Good-Bye

Realized today I've been thinking about that ticket to Welly as a singular noun: as in one-way.

Morcheeba - 'Otherwise'

Album: Charango
Brian: You are all individuals!

Crowd: YES, YES, WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS!

Brian: You are all different!

Crowd: YES, WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT!

Lone Voice: I'm not.

Person next to him: SHH!

From Life of Brian

Know what I feel like sometimes? The Lone Voice.

Massive Attack - 'Karmacoma'

Album: Karmacoma (Single)

This morning's logic:
Sun in Welly - made me happy; sun in Thailand - a little irritating, but it didn't make me too unhappy; sun in Singapore - makes my life a fucking wretched misery.

Conclusion: it's not the sun, it's Singapore.

Martina Topley-Bird - 'Ilya'

Album: Quixotic

Walking home, I thought:
Give me one day to arrange for a ticket and accomodations, then I'll fly off to Welly. I suppose I could bunk with a friend, or there's this pretty nice upmarket backpackers' just next to the City Library. I'll spend my day sitting in on lectures in Kelburn, or in the school library, or the City Library; if the weather's good, take a walk along the harbor and down Oriental Bay. Maybe I'll even take the cable car up to Kelburn or the Botanic Garden, just for the hell of it.
Dream vacation for me, that.

Tricky - 'Aftermath'

Album: Maxinquaye

Sometimes, you'd have experienced or done something before you realized what it's called or what it means.

Like, I had a crush before I even knew what a crush was.

Just sayin'; no moral or analogy or point to make here.

Brigid Boden - 'As Tears Go By'

Album: Chill Out In Paris, Vol. 2

I know I still dream.

But I'm not sure if I still have dreams.

Gipsy Kings - 'Marina Marina Marina'

The question every single L Word obsessed fangirl asks herself and her fellow obsessed fan buddies: Which L Word character(s) do you want to sleep with?

I'm going with Marina (then Shane - of course Shane).

Walking Doggie, I'd thought: If Marina weren't so skinny, she'd be the 100% Perfect Woman I want to meet on a beautiful April morning.

Or ugly August evening.

Or whenever - even when the world is dissolving from a nuclear meltdown.
Marina, Marina, Marina
Contigo me quiero casar

Astrud Gilberto - 'Who Needs Forever' (Thievery Corporation remix)

Album: Versions

There be no classes for the next two weeks - Hege's headed for L.A. for some salsa convention or something.

Ay me! sad hours seem long ... for I will not be having that which, having, makes them short.

What on earth will I have to look forward to the next two weeks?

I have only the memory of a lapdance given today by Hege.

Heh!

Damien - 'Habanos Days' (Thievery Corporation remix)

Album: Versions

Oo-er. We both missed our drinks, don't we?

I am happy-tippsy; hope you are too.

It is a pretty nice place, is it not? Even if it's no Matterhorn.

Happy birthday, sweets - I hope you had as good a time as I did, Chain of Fools or no.

=)

Ustad Sultan Khan - 'Tarana' (Thievery Corporation remix)

Album: Versions

History might've just repeated itself today ... I don't know.

Feel like I'm teetering, a little, a lot off-center - but then this entire day has been surreal.

Am so tired, so deeply and utterly tired, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.

Feel like crying but I can't.

Bebel Gilberto - 'Cada Beijo' (Thievery Corporation remix)

Album: Versions

But I think I'm ready to be bitten.

It's time to fall in love ...

Again.

Isabelle Antena - 'Nothing To Lose' (Thievery Corporation remix)

Album: Versions
I would cling to unhappiness because it was a known, familiar state. When I was happier, it was because I knew I was on my way back to misery. I've never been convinced that happiness is the object of the game. I'm wary of happiness.

Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs - 'Devil Do'

Album: You Can't Buy A Gun When You're Crying

Saw a guy with what looked to me like an unusual customized piece of jewelry for a combination rook-daith-tragus piercing.

Upon closer inspection, I realized it was not, in fact, a unique piece of accessory, but a bluetooth headset.



I think I need help ...

Gui Boratto - 'Beautiful Life'

Album: Chromophobia

What is so not sexy: men jogging with with their man-titties ... bouncing flopping freely. (Dudes, seriously, get a sports-bra! Get a sports-bra! Your nipples will thank you! Mine inverted themselves after seeing you - two days in a row!)

What is so wicked-crazy-sexy: Christina piercings. I vant!
