Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 17: Shimmering Sun March 26, 2009

It’s impossible to pick a favourite Beatles song. But this was my “first” favourite. I can remember the first time I heard it I was Christmas shopping in Bourbong street here in Bundaberg and my brother and I went to a shop that was upstairs off from the street. We were in our late teens. […]

Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 16: the other Elvis March 25, 2009

This is a post that doesn’t mention TBL (well except for that once) In my next life, if I am very very good, I am coming back as a back up harmony singer. But this is the one album i actually own (iTunes not counted). I listened to it a lot when I was young […]

Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 10: skating past Rod Stewart March 18, 2009

This is what happens when you see an ad for House starring Hugh Laurie, a program I tried for a while, but found less than compelling. However, I started thinking about Laurie’s career pre Emmy award winning, cranky-genius doctor. He was in a movie called Peter’s Friends. I can’t remember anything about it except that […]

the morals of coffee March 17, 2009

Well, I raced home thinking I was late for my first piano student. I was not. But then remembered I had promised to ring another music teacher to get my student some more practice theory papers. So in 10 minutes I made this call while at the same time making a plunger of coffee. Do […]

Be afraid of my writerly wrath Red Team

According to sources (i.e. my mother) the red team voted off AMANDA…instead of Cam. Wrong, wrong, wrong. This is the soppy side of me baring all now on the blog. But I wanted to see her lose all that weight. Plus Cam annoys me with his attention-seeking behaviour. Red team I am extremely disappointed in […]

the weekend…no naps and no shopping March 9, 2009

The weekend disappeared in a puff of smoke. Saturday I spent at work with the External STEPS students in our area, running an orientation day and then Sunday afternoon was extra choir for the Queensland Eisteddfod at Easter. So, sadly there were no naps and no shopping (except for the bare essentials on Sunday morning). […]
