raybearI'm breaking tradition and posting first, reading friends page later.
My good man Riley recently commented on a journal about the song "I should be so lucky (lucky lucky lucky)" mentioned in the subject, and I'm THRILLED that he asked. I knew the song was some brit pop new wave song from the late 80's, but had forgotten the artist, so I typed the title into the google search engine, and guess what I learned? It was none other than the brilliant international superstar Kylie Minogue. Seriously. It's the first cut on her greatest hits album which came out in 1992. Of course, I had the song stuck in my head from watching a French & Saunders skit, not because I was jamming to Kylie.
Yesterday I stayed home sick -- my tonsils kept swelling, then going to normal, then swelling, then going to normal. Plus I was a little feverish and achey, but all seems okay now. It no longer hurts when I swallow (no comments, please).
So instead of spending all day in the office making labels and punching holes and researching topics and surfing the web, I played Grand Theft Auto III, went to the dog park and read the new issue of Spin magazine, played GTA III, took a nap, played GTA III, watched the movie TimeCode, played GTA III. I love this game. My review of TimeCode is not as stellar, but I'm glad I finally saw it.
While napping yesterday, I also had a dream where I was Tony Soprano, MelRo was my Edie Falco, and Sophie was -- get this -- my toddler daughter. Very strange. I was stressing about getting out of "the business" because I was putting the safety of my family at risk. I really playing Grand Theft Auto III.
Last night I went over to Lauren's house (sorry for the lack of clever nickname) and we made our usual dinner of box cheesey pasta with tuna and green peas. More on the discussions later, though we did watch American Idol and Fox news. Best. If by best, I mean worst. Which I do.

I should be so lucky, cleaning out the dunny
Date: 2002-08-09 07:09 am (UTC)More music trivia - Kylie came to stardom, in Australia at least, as a curly-haired mechanic on the soap opera, Neighbours. Natalie Imbruglia, straight-haired wailer, also found initial popularity on neighbours before moving on to singing fame. The Pet Shop Boys became famous all on their own, but were sufficiently groovy to appear as special guests on the show. Compulsory viewing, I tell you.
