what i want is an explanation

mosh.04 is in three days. i've got to get a move on, haven't i?

i have finagled three microphone stands from the victoria school audio visual department, and will try to finagle a mixer out of them as well. but the finagling must end soon, if it doth not it shall beth too lateth.

so. why am i going to mosh.04?

one - basically i will be the cable guy. and i kind of like that.

two - would i rather "chaperone" my sister on another one of her whims, or stay at home and surf?

three - just in case i never see this lot again

four - i've never been to a real party before

and number four's true. unless you count lamo birthday parties [i don't], mucking around someone's multi-million-dollar mansion for hours and days, when my mother dragged me into a discotheque, and lamo parties in school [again, i don't].

Throw ’em a fake and a finagle/They’ll never know you’re just a bagel/Razzle dazzle ’em/And they’ll beg you for more!/Give ’em the old razzle dazzle/Razzle dazzle ’em/Back since the days of old methuselah/Everyone loves the big bamboozler

i've reworded some carols to suit me. i know it's past christmas, but no-one really cared anyway, so piss off.

Oh christmas tree, oh christmas tree
why is my fa-ther still here?

deck the halls with boughs of holly,
fa-lalalala-la-la-la-la
send father back to new guinea,
fa-lalalala-la-la-la-la

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
oh, what fun it'll be to see my phone again, hey!

Nokia seems to have been taken out of Minority Report at the last minute. whilst watching a DVD copy at my aunt's place on christmas day [amongst brats running about whirling and blowing on noisemakers] i looked out for all the product placements and ads, be it for real products or otherwise. Lexus, Bvlgari, Guinness, but no Nokia!

surprising, considering the whole hoo-hah they had when Minority Report came out. the whole tie-in with the 7650 and the whole 'look into the future' thing with the plastic prop they used as a future phone in the movie.

but, they must have cut funding at the last minute or something. the phones used in the movie are now unrecognizable as any particular model, save for modified-3650 used in the advertisement-assault corridor scene. if you look closely you'll see 'connecting people' zooming past the same screen that had the modified-3650 spinning about.

but no Nokia logo. ha!

"There are too many questions
There is not one solution
There is no resurrection
There is so much confusion
And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love vibration
You make me feel
You make it shine

There are too many options
There is no consolation
I have lost my illusions
What I want is an explanation

And the love profusion
You make me feel
You make me know
And the love direction
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel
You make me shine
You make me feel

I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin
I got you under my skin

There is no comprehension
There is real isolation
There is so much destruction
What I want is a celebration

And I know I can feel bad
When I get in a bad mood
And the world can look so sad
Only you make me feel good"

- "Love Profusion", Madonna
