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.

I'm BACK!

but then... maybe you didn't even know i was gone...

anyway...

back at work after ten (11? 12?) days roaming Uttarakhand, Agra and Fatehpur Sikri! pictures soon :) promise...


--------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: many moons later

and if u read this blog and aren't friends with me on fb then its a miracle in any case! (and i ought to call the Vatican)

Look Into Pants

there are sooooo many reasons why i love this blog.
Parez should take some tips.
If you want to be snarky, this is the way to go.
