Mother’s Wisdom

26 07 2007

Mother: “I meet lots of famous people in Hamsptead on my lunch breaks… Judi Dench… and that singer…. what’s his name? The poof one…”

Me: “The poof?!”

Mother: “The one who is always wearing sunglasses, what’s his name?!”

Me: “Elton John?”

Mother: “No, no, no, the other one. I did see Elton John before though, with his girlfriend”

Me: “What, before he came out? When he lived a LIE?”

Mother: “Yeah, when he was lying. No, what’s the name of the other poof with glasses?”

Me: “George Michael?”

Mother: “THAT’S THE ONE! He was in casualty.”

The date was probably Oct 02 2006.

Picked up a pair of Skullcandy Ti headphones yesterday. And by “picked up”, I mean that I ordered them on eBay a few days ago and they just arrived.

No idea why I ordered them, was having a bit of an audiophile moment ^_^ Now I’ve lost my normal earbuds, so I have to walk around with these giant things. I fell asleep watching Apocalypto with the skullcandies on (the wire is long enough to reach from the PC to the bed :D ), and I awoke in a mess of wire.

Right, I love Bright Eyes as much as the next indie-scenester, but since when did he look like Jesus?!

New-age hippie Conor:

Urgh, I like the new album and all but… this will not stand.

Filipino Prisons PWN

20 07 2007

Everytime my family went to Philippines, my parents would always be excited to go to the near-by prison. I never understood it…. until now:

Inmates doing the Algorithm March:

And now… some cowboy dance, “In The Navy” & the YMCA! :D

The awesome Personal Area Network (P.A.N) hoodie I bought online doesn’t fit :( So I’m selling it on eBay:

Geardoism

17 07 2007

There is a strange obsession that I have.

It’s gear. Portable items of personal property.

This is what I lug around for my day-to-day:

And this is the AWOL bag I have stored under my bed:

Y’know, in case there’s a fire or nuclear war (gas mask/NBC suit coming soon). It’s not paranoia, it’s about being prepared.

OK, maybe it’s a bit of paranoia.
