Following yesterday’s post of the Bruce Lee Video Remix tool as a funky link, my friend sent me a link to something only the Japanese could possibly conceive. Link in the extras – broadband recommended… but its good fun!
18:30 Now I’m on the 339 bus to go for dinner at Dave Symes’ house. He’s a funky-ass bass player and the number 1 choice for Stuff. Actually, typing on my Palm is not easy on this bumpy old dinosaur of a bus…
My run took me down to South Coogee just as the sun was going down – that beautiful time of the evening when the sea is lighter than the sky, mirror calm. I ran through Grant Reserve, where some children were collecting frogspawn, with the splashing and deep croaking of the bullfrogs rattling against the soft swish of the tide on the rocks. A peaceful run rather than another R.O.D. – saving that for Sunday.
Cab home, 1.11am. One of those perfect chilled nights – nice food, wine, chat, music and cards… D.’s fave game, a Chinese game called Chaw Dai Di. Dave’s girlfriend Fatz slaughtered us over Turkish tea and some Wolf Blass Shiraz…
Now I’m home – its pretty cold in here. Tapping away on the Palm in the cab nearly made me throw up. Either that or the abominable playlist of on 105.9FM – ‘Today’s BEST Music’ – I don’t think so! Complete shit. I despair for what people get shoved down their throats, and what they willingly accept as good. Oh well, its been this way ever since Elvis, I suppose, and there’s no point whinging about it. Make more music, flood them with tunes, hope for the best and sing louder than anyone else! The cab driver was a Chinese guy – obviously a karaoke champion, as he was giving it some on the tunes; he knew them all. I think that dreadful Avril Lavigne was there somewhere, but I can’t be sure. It sounded like Alanis Morissette so it must have been her. Sorry – I’m sounding off about music again. Still, its my page so I can do what I want.
