Pandora-dox?

Somehow, Pandora just decided to go from the blissfully relaxed Traffic in the Sky by Jack Johnson, to It's A Small World (Shorty Remix) (also something to do with Disney, according to the cover??) by the Baha Men.

Buh?

Thank god I could skip it, and it dutifully returned Higher Than by Paul Michel.

Sanity, along with the weekend, is restored.

And now it's all fine

Orange have fixed the situation...

god — how much of a girl did I just sound? Maybe I should just hand in my testicles at the nearest counter...?

Actually, no — hoping I'll need them ;o)

Stunning

One of the most stunning people I have ever spoken to in my life apparently thinks I'm not that bad either.

And now Orange have blocked my service, despite my bill having been paid in full. And he thinks I'm not texting him because I'm ignoring him.

My heart feels like stopping.

Half an hour ago

On the way in to work, I passed a horse and the girl riding it was on her mobile.

I don't know why this made me laugh but it did.

Great Pandora Day

Some seriously good tunes from the past and some I'd not heard before.

Favourite of the day is Hey Casanova by Duncan Sheik.

That is all.

Survival Beats

Right, now that Blogger is publishing again (for a while, I thought it was quality control that was stopping it from accepting my posts yesterday!), the song I'm currently obssessed with is La Ritournelle by Sebastien Tellier. Was one of the tracks that made me buy The Weekend (see previous posting with a track listing), but it's on the last disc. I knew I'd liked the song, but couldn't for the life of me work out how it went. Now I know and am happy.

Also, the Youngest's iPod should be with her in less than 90 minutes. Very excited to see what she makes of it.

FIN

Quick Test

As Blogger's not been republishing so far today....

Monday: things done

• Posted the iPod shuffle to Youngest. She will now get it one day late. But still think she'll like it.
• This was despite the most massivest queue in the Post Office.
• Also got her card in record time
• Stopped off at Starbucks on the way back to the car and got meself a venti mocha
• This, all despite a vodka hangover which almost made me "work from home" today
• Got into work at the crack of ten-past-noon.
• That is all
  

Perseus cluster

I haven't been back to Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for months, and I happened upon it in an old bookmarks folder yesterday. I've had the Brazillian flag as my desktop for ages, but I really liked this picture (left). Looks like a dream. Even though the view is completely, different, it reminds me of the full moon-lit view from my old bedroom window, out across the river and towards The South™. Anyway, just thought I'd pass the picture on. In other news, these two-day weeks aren't the most productive. But at least I'm getting some e-mithers fired off.

Also, I am now poor, having bought the Youngest's 21^st birthday present on Wednesday. Hope she likes it/can use it! eep...

You're playing catch-up

... So I'll do a recent-happenings update later this week/this weekend.

After the way...

...these last ten-or-so days have gone, I don't feel too weird about posting at 5:17 in the morning. I'd also forgotten how much I love Beaucoup Fish by Underworld... That's more of an aside.

Anyway, brief recap, more of a prompt for future entries.

Last Sat: a setup in Kingston O'Neill's

Wed: a trip to Brighton

Tonight (Fri): Stopping in with LS while the Aussie went out with the usual suspects.

Right now: not knowing where my head's at.

I'd like a normal life now, please. Ah feck -- that's not on the cards, is it?

And Neilo's at home this week. Good luck, great mate</comedy dave>

The Easter Funny

The Irish RM sent this around as an Easter greeting. I liked it</Louis Walsh>

Why I LOVE Pandora radio

It's pulled a few belters out of the hat today, but I had to take my hat off — it's produced All I Need by Air and U2's Stay in the last fifteen minutes.

Amazing...! It's put me in such a nice mood :o)
