Month: February 2003

Yawn…
Working at home, which is just as well as I feel bleuch. Surprisingly not hungover bleuch, but ‘fighting off a cold’ bleuch. How many Vitamin C pills are you allowed to pop in a day?

Ohh and huge, embarassed, apologies to everyone who I was in contact with last night. Be it a comment left on your site, an email, an IM or… ehhh something else… I would like to point out that I was quite happily tipsy and didn’t mean any offence. Well I might have meant offence but as I can’t recall who I conversed with I can’t be sure that I didn’t mean to offend. Capisce?

Note to self
Don’t blog when drunk.
Don’t drink on an empty stomach.
Don’t take your credit card online with you when incapacitiatateatededed….
Don’t start writing about consumerism. You can hardly type it right now, let alone say it..
Don’t let friends ‘pop in’ with a nice bottle of wine.

No hang on, that last one’s not quite right

And leave them damned Galactic Toss Monkeys alone… it’s not big and it’s not clever…

(By the way, how did you manage to type this? You can hardly stay awake right now, in fact you should be in bed, mmm bed, dark, comfy, warm…)

(There are better ways of making an idiot of yourself you know, and you really should know better, tsk tsk)

…

Mmmmm. bed, dark, comfy, warm…

I think this is getting out of hand.

An in-joke is slowly spreading, to the point that the finer points are now a matter of debate. A phrase containing one or more galactic toss monkey(s). Is it Galactic Toss Monkey, “Galactic Toss Monkey”, Galactic Toss Monkeys, “Galactic Toss Monkeys”, or dare I suggest galactic toss monkies…??

If you are wondering what I am talking about, blame Alex, Izb, Nibbler , and Jez (sorry Jez, can’t find it in your archives).

Tops of the Pops 3
Troubled-Diva’s quest for the Top Decade continues.
Right I must’ve missed a day somewhere cos this is two in one day for me… anyhoo, briefly:
1. Status Quo – I’m a rocker not a fighter.
2. Phil Collins – come on, you bopped to this when it came out, admit it.. (and with a few beers you will at the next wedding)
3. M People – Not my fav track (which is also an in-joke for a group of my friends)
4. Mike Berry – not great but better than…
5. Blazin’ Squad – I can’t believe a parody band could make it into the charts twice….

Brits
So, avid reader (ha ha ha, sorry I crack myself up sometimes), who should win what at this year’s Brits?

And, more vitally, when did Ms.Dynamite shave her head! (what an awful picture).

Either way I’m just glad that our current crop of pop stars have been properly recognised.

Those wacky Japanese
Is it a cultural thing? Is it endemic of globalisation (Americanisation)?

I’m not sure but there is something odd about the latest trends coming out of Japan. First we had breast scarves, and now see-thru skirts (but not really).

Odd indeed.
