Shortland Street. Yuck! |

Sky has been jumping onto the kitchen bench when I am in the other room. I know this, because I hear her jump down. Once, I caught her in the hot water cupboard above the kitchen bench!
Now, Sky knows she is not allowed on the bench. When she first arrived, I pushed her off it a few times and scolded her. As far as I knew, that was the end of that. Never saw her on the bench. Heard her jump off now and then when I was in bed, dozing. Cursed her cunning. Only within the past few months has she started doing it when I'm up and nearby.
Friends of mine say I should not punish her, because I have not caught her in the act of being on the bench. I've been scolded for picking her up, holding her over the bench, saying No! loudly and then chucking her out the front door.
Apparently I should keep a closer eye on her, in order to catch her in the act. Or keep something to make a loud noise with nearby. You've gotta be mighty quick, I tell ya ...
Ideas? Suggestions? I'm getting fairly annoyed by this. Cats simply do not belong on kitchen benches! Grrr! )-:

Earlier, I changed my layout colours and fiddled around with the font a little.
Okay, so it may be a little garish, on some people's monitors, anyway. But I fancied a change. A garish change. XD
In other news, I downloaded the entire Smash Bros. Brawl soundtrack today. Whoo.

The Dark Knight is currently the highest rated film on IMDB.

Interesting.
Also, you can't read it, but The Lady has officially declared this:

possibly the best score she's ever heard.
She's a super soundtrack nerd and you should listen to her.
And speaking of that score, you can read an interview with Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard at Superhero Hype.

The Velvet Underground- I'm Set Free |

Last night, my friends and I went to Hotel Cafe in LA to see Emily Wells for her record release party. Before Emily's performance, her opening act was DJ Jedi. This guy was very cool. He would mix old R&B and funk tunes with alternative music. Met Emily again before she went on stage and she was very nice.
Emily's performance was wonderful. If you've never seen her live you should. Backed by a drummer and bassist, Emily plays violin, guitar, toy piano, xylophone and various other instruments on stage, then loops these sounds until she creates an orchestra. Emily will then sing and harmonize with herself then loop her voice to create background vocals. Emily has a Bjork quality to her voice and the music is symphonic with a jazz and hip-hop flavor. It's really great to see someone create beautiful music right before your eyes with such emotion. Great show. Check her out.
Setlist:
Symphony 1 in the Barrel of a Gun Symphony 2 and the Click Boom Boom Symphony 3: The Story Symphony 4: America's Mercy War Symphony 5 was a surprise Symphony 6: Fair Thee Well and the Requiem Mix Symphony 7: Dreams Memories and Heaven Symphony 8 and the Canary's Last Take Symphony 9 and the Sunshine Symphony 10: Could This Really Be the End?... Encore

| the heat |
[20 Jul 2008|03:16pm] |
There's almost no point in showering -- within 20 minutes, it's useless. If I want my hair to be actually dry at some point, I have to sit in front of a fan. If it wasn't so short, I'd have died long ago. I'm getting used to the heat, I think, but I'm also not falling asleep until dawn. Even then, just briefly, until it gets too hot again.
The sleepless muddy dreams involve grocery lists, people from the past, things I forgot to do, being too late. Some bleed into the waking life, so I walk around half-expecting to run really fast, or handle the fallout of a nuclear anger. The impossible presses against the membrane, and I can see vague outlined shapes. My back, lower back, neck, brain all full of half-hardened plastic and crystallized chemicals.
This morning at 7:30, I stuck my head close to the window, and for a few moments there was a pure Scottish breeze. (I got a flashback of Edinburgh, 2002.) I lay there on my stomach with my eyes closed, sucking in as much as I could. Sensation boiled, and briefly the world revolved around my room. A river, and singing. Things became impossible, or possible, and back again. Years passed, like when you have a fever.
Last night Jonah played guitar and I sang songs about the images coming into my head, like a sheep with a zip-up wool coat, and a ship trailing wire-thin lines of algae and barnacles that docks after 20 years, so the unaged sailors can peek in on their grandchildren, and then leaves again in the morning.

Совершенно безо всякого повода хочу заметить, что на последнем альбоме Пола Уэллера "22 Dreams", который сам по себе очень хорош просто весь, есть совершенно роскошная "Song For Alice", посвященная скончавшейся в прошлом году Элис Колтрейн. И играет там Робер Уайатт.

Should I bake some cookies and put them in tupperware w/ a note saying "welcome to the 'hood! for more sweetness, come downstairs...." :p lol.

There's nothing like sending the same e-mail to multiple professors, trying to get a nibble on your idea for PhD research, only to notice the instant it's too late that for almost all the e-mails you forgot to change the name after the first addressee. So basically six of the seven professors I e-mailed will find that their names have suddenly changed to "Dr. Miller."

I have no idea where half my patterns are! This would be OK except that the missing ones are all the ones I want to use!
Emergency repurchase. I have a suspicion that they're in the garage at Epsom, which is precisely zero use to me. I also worked out that the pattern intended for Basilisk is not entirely appropriate as it's much too short at the front, so I've ordered one that has the length and will use the original pattern for the lapels, which are pretty crazy-like.
In GOOD cosplay progress news, we found Edgeworth fabric. It's more red than magenta, but given that actually using fabric the right colour would look pretty damn ridiculous on a human being, I feel it is an acceptable compromise.
I have zero motivation though. Still, it desperately needs doing so do it I must.
I believe the RKO team is down to Helga, Caterina, Balthasar, Kaspar, Radu and Sieglinde now. We'll see what happens with Tres but it's looking unlikely :( Still, 6 + 1xCain isn't bad going.

Went shopping today with my mum. We drove to these outlet stores that Bekki and I visited a couple of months ago, and boy was it fun.
Remember that Oroton shop Bekki? And that men's leather messenger bag I really liked? Well, I ended up getting it. There was a 30% off the marked price sale so I ended up getting this bag for only $101.50. Recommended retail price was $449 and the marked price it had been reduced to was $145. Thank god we got it cos when we went back there just before leaving four hours later, all of that style of bag was gone. My mum ended up buying a handbag for herself as well. Then there was a 50% off the marked price of all garments in Diana Ferrari for today only so my mum bought a dress for a wedding she and my dad will be attending for only $40 (rrp $170, marked price $80) and a wool coat from French Connection for $100 (rrp $370). Plus some red patent heels for her, and I got a red hip-length jacket and a cream thigh-length trench coat. Even went into Royal Doulton and looked at pretty teapots that cost over $300. I don't think I could bear to use a teapot if it cost me over $300. So pretty though, and they had a gorgeous mint green cake stand that I would've loved to have gotten except that we don't have people over for High Tea so it's not like I'd ever use it. It would just be something to display and use when I make scones and kids come over cos then we would get a kick out of using it.
Oh god. I'm such a dag. I got excited over a cake stand. But in my defense, it was a pretty cake stand.
Stopped by Cabramatta on the way home to eat at this Vietnamese restaurant there. It's not a classy restaurant or anything, but the crispy chicken dish we buy there is absolutely delicious. You know a place is good when the people whom you know run other tasty eateries go there for a meal. Bekki, you know the people who run that Noodle House we both love? We've seen them a few times at this place eating dinner. Hehe! I'll take you there soon so you can try it. Delicious stuff.
Came home. Resting now.

"Сила женщины в ее слабости" - думаю, это не совсем верно. Сила в умении казаться слабой, но это умею только сильные.
По-настоящему слабая женщина в общем обречена на вымирание.
В мире все несколько наоборот, думаем мы одно, но живем (по большей части) - согласно инстинктам, рефлексам и воспитанию.
Это довольно грустно, между прочим, осознавать - животность человека. Но пока я не вижу доказательств "против".

Hey :) Well, I had been thinking as it is a wee bit late and I'm sleepy and have not been in the most chipper of moods today I would wait until tomorrow to talk about the movie I've been looking forward to seeing for months and months, but now after talking with lovely Stephanie here a bit and reading your entries and such thingies I'm feeling kinda chipper and like postin' something. ;)
( Spoilers! Cut for those who would prefer to see The Dark Knight first )
Alright, that was a bit confessional and emotional, heh...but hey. ;) In a nutshell I absolutely loved it, and in particular I thought Heath Ledger was brilliant as the Joker. ♥

Плохая. Сегодня закрытие музыкального сезона в А2. Это ОЧЕНЬ печально, потому что А2 - самое лучшее, что случалось с музыкальным , богемным Петербургом за последнее время. Наше чудо света. Или чудо нашего света. Неважно, скорблю :)
Хорошая. Мы, разумеется, будем там сегодня отплясывать на сцене и не только. Вход на праздник жизни традиционно свободен, старт часов в 20:00, будет много веселых-развеселых команд. Подробности тут

Thirty-one today What a thing to say Drinking Guinness in the afternoon Taking shelter in the black cocoon
I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now But it's not, and I don't know where to turn
Called some guy I knew Had a drink or two And we fumbled as the day grew dark I pretended that I felt a spark
I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now But it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn
Easter comes and goes Maybe Jesus knows So you roll on with the best you can Getting loaded, watching CNN
I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now I thought my life would be different somehow I thought my life would be better by now But it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know where to turn No, it's not, and I don't know
