Good night! Normal blogging service to resume shortly...

Heard the Band Aid 20 version of this song recently (how crap does it sound?) and, being in Katherine at the time, remembered that we actually bought the original on VINYL (what's that, you ask?) so of course it comes with this glorious CD Cover.... er... I mean LP cover. It's only just ticked over into Christmas and, oops, I'm still up. Spare a thought for "the other ones", because "thank God it's them instead of you..." hmm...

What you didn't know is that Disney also produces children's horror flicks. Like this one...

Terrible, isn't it? December has barely started and I'm already on holidays. Yay! Even so, my "to do" list is preventing me from feeling like I have time to relax. There are things to do that I had put off, y'know, the fun stuff like my tax return. And there's still the seasonal pressure of present-buying, which is GREAT when you're as indecisive as I am.

I also have to find time to jump out of a plane!!! courtesy of JPB in honour of my new-found thirty-ness; a strange choice of present because, now that I'm officially over the hill, it's not like I need to go any faster on the downward spiral of life.

Anyway, so far the start of the holidays has been pretty eventful. It began with a punk-themed Christmas party that I feel like I've only just recovered from. On Monday BO-A showed me a video she filmed on her phone of the party and I honestly cannot remember that happening but the evidence is clear. The only downer was at three in the morning the cunting Stonewall door bitches were enforcing their straight girl quota policy thinly disguised as an anti-"open-toed-shoe" policy which meant one of my dear friends that I had been having such a good time with went home early. Nevertheless, the night up 'til that point was awesome.

Also went to see Branch Nebula's Paradise City, which was a terrific mash of performance skills. A skater, a break-dancer, a BMX rider, an acrobat, a dancer and a fallen diva... facing each other off (as you would do on the street, y'know...) and it was great to see them at times taking on each other's qualities in their own way. Worth seeing. That as well as Emio Greco | PC on the Friday, not to mention James Bond on Monday, and I'm having a pretty good serve of culture... Sure makes doing an end-of-year Top 5 list of performing arts events even harder (what did I see this year again???)

Anyway, I'm rambling. Sorry about the post going nowhere...

(This isn't the most impressive way to return to the world of blogging but it'll do for now. Baby steps...)

I really hate those crap-arse Mac ad. Macs aren't completely crap, I still have fond (!!) memories of using Final Cut Pro, it felt like the computer was actually helping me to be creative... But these ads simply don't do Macs any justice. There must be better ways to convince audiences that Macs are great without having to have some pretty lady *represent* a well-made iMovie movie (whatever a "well-made" iMovie movie is... as if!)

Anyway, I do love these parodies!

Its not even a case of Macs needing any more exposure. Who hasn't heard of iPods? The Mac ads are dumb. These spoofs are pretty good too. Love Linux. "I Am Root" indeed...

Choreography doesn't get any better than this!

Wikipedia

Does it mean that you're famous when you have your very own entry in Wikipedia? That you didn't create yourself? Meanwhile, I didn't realise that she was Latina; fancy that, and after having lived with her for all that time!

How exciting!

Can't take my eyes off you!
