Mia, PolSci to Chiropractic? That's just a bit of a transition!

 

[Alisaura]

YES YES I know there is a great program in Melbourne. I should've applied there, it's cheaper,

I didn't know that... but now that you mention it, yes you should have!

So you've gone from manipulating the political system to manipulating vertebrae?

Mia: "So Mr President, while I've got you, how about that funding for higher education?"

*CRACK*

[Alisaura]

I can't apathetically ignore it, so I realise just how shit it actually is. So although I genuinely dislike the song, it's only because my attention was drawn to it. It's not that I hate it because of other people worshipping it, but that other people worshipping it meant I gave it enough time of day to formulate an opinion about it beyond apathy.

See, the wonderful thing about genuine apathy is that it doesn't take any effort to apathetically ignore things...

"One" fan: ZOMG One is leik teh gratist song evarr!!11One!!1

Now, repeat after me...

"Meh."

 

[Alisaura]

We've just got a recurring dose of the old Howling Wind here at the moment... interspersed with bits of bright sunshine. Go figure!

But listing reasons why they're wrong is so much fun.

Gotta love Melbourne. We got a short bit of sunlight a little while ago, but otherwise it's been entirely dull in my part of the city.

To each, his own...

Summer '68 has a vote in the PF survivor. We're all doomed.

Arr... ooh, sun here for about ten seconds!!

I'm kinda wishing the landlords took that tree out of the front lawn when they said they would (ie, last week)... I don't particularly want it to go, but my car's under it and it'd be just my luck if the bloody thing dropped a branch in all this wind.

I know it or Sorrow won't win, but I'm still hoping one of them does.

 

[Alisaura]

Hey LM! Ooh, nice, instrumental version....

 

[the tourist]

I just bashed One in cheesiest song thread myself.

Summer '68/Wish You Were Here/Comfortably Numb for me. Anything else would be terrible. Sorry, I just don't get what makes Sorrow so special.

Is it just me, or do landlords and tradespeople in this city take for-fucking-ever to do anything? I had windows that weren't fully insulated last winter because things took so fucking long to happen.

My user title is completely nonsensical, yet fits for some reason.

WYWH or CN is so predictable and boring. I hope Dogs at least beats them. As for Sorrow, the lyrics are fucking amazing. Plus I'm biased; it's the song that got me into PF.

But yeah, Summer '68 for the win.

Good man.

 

[LemonMelon]

WYWH or CN is so predictable and boring.

Yeah, you're right about that. But it's better than Shine On or Money winning, IMO. At least this survivor has some semi-obscurities.

Well, yeah, Money winning would be pretty boring. But I think SOYCD I-V is better than both WYWH or CN.

Good man.

it's what i do!

I dunno... another bunch of tree loppers took a tree out of the back yard when the landlords only wanted them to do a quote, so I guess they can be overzealous sometimes.

It does at that... yay for nonsense!

I wonder if vazza liked the SDRE album I sent her last night.

Every single tradesperson I've ever had come to my place has been late. Often days late. Rather infuriating.

My favourite was the guy who went to a similarly named street in the wrong suburb.

I know exactly what he’s talking about. I sprout mung beans on a damp paper towel in my desk drawer. Very nutritious, but they smell like death.

"I never smile if I can help it... Showing one's teeth is a submission signal in primates. When someone smiles at me, all I see is a chimpanzee begging for its life."

Creed and Dwight

 

[Alisaura]

I thought baring your teeth in the primate world was a sign of aggression?

So this is where you got to, lynnok

 

[Dalton]

Creed and Dwight

those two killed that episode.
