Frustration

I hate having an idea for a picture in my mind, yet be unable to put pencil to paper and make it real.

There is a fear of it not turning out as I imagine, that I will just be disappointed with it.

Grah.

Boy's toys...

I have a confession to make. My parents (technophobes both) have just bought a Digi-box before I did. Normally, any new technology takes at least five years to filter into their lounge, but apparently this time they beat me to it.

Not to be outdone, and because I found out that 4-More is on FreeView, I bought one too...

I just hope there is something worth watching, because there was damn-all on the five terrestrial channels...

Rain, rain, go away

I think we have just been hit by the remnants of on eof the hurricanes that caused so much havoc on the other side of the Atlantic.

The airport run this morning encountered three floods on the roads. And Velux windows are a great thing until you have to sleep under one when it is raining...

Since there is now no chance of getting back to sleep, I have plenty of time now to catch up with the board and blogs...

Surprises...

My aunt and cousin came over from the US last weekend. Although I wasn't doing the airport run, I couldn't resist heading down to the airport to join my parents in meeting them.

It kinda backfired, though, as I was talked into going home with them for a couple of days. :)

It did give me an hour in the car catching up with my little cuz (not so little now at 24, however...)

Comments

Thanks to Transparency's suggestion, I've switched the comment thingy on to avoid any more spam.

If that is a pain in the proverbial for anyone commenting, let me know and I'll consider turning it off.

Cheers.

Song of the Day...

Magic Dance

You remind me of the babe
What baby? The babe with the power
What power? Power of voodoo
Who do? You do
Do what? Remind me of the babe

I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry
What could I do?
My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew:

What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free

I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try
What could I do?
My baby's fun had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew

What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free

Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that baby spell on me (ooh)

You remind me of the babe
What baby? The babe with the power
What power? Power of voodoo
Who do? You do
Do what? Remind me of the babe

Dance magic, dance, ooh ooh ooh
Dance magic,
Dance magic, ooh ooh ooh
Dance magic

What kind of magic spell to use?
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
Something frightening

Dance magic, dance
Dance magic, dance
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby

Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance
Slap that slap that baby make him free
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance) (repeat to fade)
