oh no!

I actually dont know if this is HORRIBLE or totally brilliant!

I'm so confused now...





I'm also wondering how I didn't know about it before. Its AGES old in electro terms.

lets see how u like that...

now, i may be more of a cat person, but i really do LIKE dogs. they're great, even if they do smell. the whole unconditional affection thing is awesome. and they're almost always amusing to have around. Our dog at least; my cutie cutie taffy, who died about two years ago now; was a totally brilliant dog and a complete joy to have around.
BUT
if the idiot who lives two houses down from us doesn't figure out how to keep his bloody dogs from howling and fighting all night long i CAN NOT answer for my actions! what the HELL! how does he sleep through that racket!!

its driving me nuts. really. don't be surprised if you find out one of these days that i no longer post coz I've been taken away to the nut house.
At least I'll be able to sleep if I'm in a nice quite white room. and the padding may actually be comfortable... hmm... the lack of sleep thing is actually making me start to wonder if getting locked up would be that bad. but then, I'm sure the other inmates would be pretty noisy.
ok, i think outside life is on-the-whole preferable! at least out here i can get my hands on brownies.

LOL... i just read over everything i typed up there. and i have to say, if I ran a nut house, I think i'd be seriously considering me as a candidate.

so let me explain a little.
We have a neighbour with three dogs. Two are street dogs that they rescued, and one is a lab. Now I'm not really sure what the whole arrangement is with these, but i think the street ones aren't allowed into the house to sleep. One has some weird problems and dysfunctionality issues from before it got rescued, and now 'Blacky' barks and howls about EVERYTHING (including getting fed apparently - really! that's what the owner told my sis!).

The second street dog is an escape artiste. 'Stripey' manages to scale their compound wall, and then runs about getting into fights with the other street dogs in our colony. and into the colony garbage bin. and into other people’s houses every night.
and somehow, SOMEHOW, she always manages to have all the scuffles she has on a nightly basis, right. outside. my. window! or at least, that's how it sounds.
in fact I can hear her right now. snorfaling away, running and panting and growling and jumping and generally making a bloody nuisance of herself.

And lastly, the lab, who i think wants to be in on all the nonsense that the other two get into, is locked in the house with the peoples every night. and with the peoples is not where 'Banjo' wants to be! oh no... the peoples are all sleeping! that's not exciting at all! so what does he do? well. for the last week or so (maybe the owners are out of town?) Banjo (or at least I assume its him. it sounds like him) has been complaining every night.
right at about 2 am, as i'm about to fall into the kind of sleep where a Harley revving by my head would not wake me, that dratted lab starts up. "ooouuooh uuoohaaa hooohooohooaaa!"
seriously.
its not even like a wolfie, respectable, dignified type howl! he sounds like a 5 year old telling mommy about how the other kids wont let him play.
the first couple of times he started in on the howling it was funny (which may have been because he did it during the day), but i just can't take it anymore!

I have to be up tomorrow at 6am (and that's a story for later) but here i am, unable to sleep, coz my idiot freaking neighbour is apparently as deaf as an ninety year old man who was in an artillery unit during the second world war - or is such a sucky person, that he goes on holiday and doesn't leave someone behind to take care of his dogs during the night.

so bah, humbug to him!
and if he doesn't figure out how to shut his dogs up, I'm gonna go over there one of these nights with an air horn, break into his house, shove it up against his ear and press the button.

What are you? 12?

Ah... the Vengaboys... truly a brilliant example of why I think the 90s was one of the worst eras for music.

And now, much to my amusment (read: Horror), they’re back!




Wonderful promo isn't it?

and here's the actual video...




Is it just me, or have they really really not aged well?

-----UPDATE-----
oh oh oh! Check it out!
http://www.lyricsera.com actually managed to make the song worse!
How is it possible to get lyrics so wrong?


Vengaboys - Rocket To Uranus


[Perez Hilton]
Eenie Meenie Miney Moe, this rocket ship has got to go!

[Vengaboys]
There is a house, in the heart of kings and town.
A place that you never see.
The secret house, in the heart of kings and town, where we've been building our dream.

Get up now, it's time to go.
Blast off, your standing alone.
It's there, I swear...
5 4 3 2 1

[Chorus]
I'm on a rocket to uranus,
and the rocket's gonna take us,
to the planet that'll save us.
Oh Woah Woah Woah
Fly! On a mission to a higher low,
the invitation you've been dreamin' of,
let's have a party on uranus!

There is a place,
3 billion clicks away,
where you find freedom to all.
It's new, it's cool and the light can last all day.
Counting down, final call.

If you haven't got a thing to wear,
it doesn't really matter up there.
Come on, we're gone!

[Chorus]
I'm on a rocket to uranus,
and the rocket's gonna take us,
to the planet that'll save us.
Oh Woah Woah Woah
Fly! On a mission to a higher low,
the invitation you've been dreamin' of,
let's have a party on uranus!

[Perez Hilton]
Party time!
Look!
I can see it...
We're almost there.
Uranus is so pretty!
It feels like home.

[Vengaboys]
Oh woah woah woah
Fly! On a mission to a higher low,
the invitation you've been dreamin' of,
let's have a party on uranus!

[Perez Hilton]
That was a fast journey!

I have to admit, "On a mission to a higher low" really does work better.

The World Lacks Balance

Gah! I feel like my brain is atrophying!
All I’ve done today is work on verifying the library catalogue. The sheer boringitude of this work is possibly on par with what I spent the majority of my internship at RAVE doing way back in... um, 2004 I think - I was given the fascinating job of inputting ALL the articles from past magazines into their online archive.

And now, here I sit, 6 years later, doing pretty much the exact same thing!
Ok, not really. But you have to admit, verifying that the books we have in the catalogue are actually in the library, and vice versa, comes fairly close.


So what I want to know is... where the hack is my bleeping intern!

No seriously!
We of the content team have been slaving over this mind numbing/scream producing job in every spare moment we have between planning our schedules/processes and getting a framework into place for this entire year (oh, and have I mentioned that we’re supposed to be launching the website that we’re in charge off on July 19? Not exactly like we’re wallowing in time here!)

Never have I missed an overly enthusiastic, butt-kissing, scut-work doing college kid more.

Sabbaticalised

Reading this blog one would think that I spend all my time on holiday... which has essentially been true for the last couple of months. So guess its a pretty fair representation!
Sooo... lets see. To catch ya'll up (assuming of course that anyone still reads this), I've been jobless since Jan. Started the year of as free as a bird! its been kinda awesome really... but now its back to work at a new company!
this is just my second week, going pretty good so far. fingers crossed, knocking on wood and all that sort of stuff that it stays that way :)

And that's about it for this post 'cause I'm heading out for a beer now... beer trumps blog!

hopefully back soon with more.
