I hope you like strange movies about friends and murders. Being on the Youtubes makes me tempted to start running a video segment on the blog, but of course as you can see I've done a right good job of keeping up the blogging over the last month or two. By which I mean I haven't. At all. Sorry about that.
I'm now finished with University, though. This makes me happy.
1: Dan and I worked out that we're musical specialists. He's good at writing percussion tracks and generating riffs out of nowhere. I'm better with pre-existing material - creating variations on existing motifs, adding harmonies, and figuring out exactly what's out of place. Having worked that out, we're making a much better team.
2: The cat! Oh lord, that warbling, strangled cat. She'd prowl around the house all night trying to serenade an audience in the darkness that didn't exist, and when that failed, she'd find a hand to rub at. Then she'd stare at you, butt in the air, with wide, round eyes that had the faintest glaze in them, and roll over.
3: I caught myself this morning trying to decide whether to wear jeans or shorts. The meteorologists and Melbournites are not surprised.
4: "Wish" and "Expect". I don't know what the similarity's supposed to be, because I think of them as opposites.
5: They ask me what's similar between the words, and then look at me funny when I engage etymologies rather than the concepts that the words are meant to label. They asked me about the words.
6: I wanted to try out that bass line I wrote. I was halfway there when I realised that my bass is out of tune, and I don't have a tuner. Then I realised I have a tuning fork. Then I remembered that I don't even know where C is meant to be.
7: Registering an Australian Business Number (ABN) only costs $85.
8: "You don't poke around down there." "WOMEN DO IT!" Oh, Seinfeld. There is a reason I do not watch you.
