Boarding pass

Right, I’m done with the Open University until next February (maybe); my desk is cleared at work, and I’ve just printed my boarding pass for my 9am flight to London and then onwards to Vancouver, home of Bryan ‘The Groover’ Adams.

You’ll not be hearing anything from me for quite some time. Especially if the bungee jumps goes awry.

Toodles!

LOLcat Wedding

Lolcat love

Apparently work is being done on a LOLspeak version of the Bible. In the meantime, here’s a set of vows that is just CRYING out to be enacted and put on YouTube. Hilarious (if you get LOLcats- the other half has no idea why I crack up at this stuff).

Stephen at Live Granades is a genius.

O hai. We here before all dese ppl and Ceiling Cat sos cat 1 and cat 2 can has marriage.

cat 1 and cat 2, marriage iz commitment and all about luv, so if u marry wifout thinkin hard about it, ur doin it wrong.

Anyone has visible reason they shud no marry? No? Gud.

cat 1 and cat 2, LOLCat Bible sez, “Luv is pashient an kind and stuff, luv no has jelusy and no shows off. It not rude, it not say UR DOIN IT WRONG. It no aligned wif basement cat but only ceiling cat. Luv protectz, trusts in all teh stuff, hopes in all teh stuff, sticks wif u in all teh stuff. FAIL? Not luv.” Dis what luv shud be for u.

cat 1, what u here for? (cat 2’s paw for marryin)

What u promis for cat 2? (I can has u, cat 2, for bein all wedded an stuff. I can has, I can hold. We can has riches, we can has no riches, we can has helf, we can has no helf, I still all luv u until ded.)

cat 2, what u here for? (cat 1’s paw for marryin)

What u promis for cat 1? (I can has u, cat 1, for bein all wedded an stuff. I can has, I can hold. We can has riches, we can has no riches, we can has helf, we can has no helf, I still all luv u until ded.)

Marriage no jus two cats, it needz other cats for supports and luv. Srsly, all u be there for them? (Yes.)

I can has bukkit wif rings?

Rings are all round, they has no end jus like your luv. cat 1, place ring on cat 2’s paw and say: I maed u a ring and I no pawn it. Wif this ring, I are wedding u. cat 2, u do same and say: I maed u a ring and I no pawn it. Wif this ring, I are wedding u.

U both now all married. Ceiling cat will now watch u kiss.

Here is cat 1 and cat 2 all married. Kthxbai.

 

 

The cunning linguists among you may enjoy the LOLcat entry in Wikipedia. It’s all terribly highbrow really. Srsly.

A girl walks into a bar and says, “Can I have a double entendre?” So the bartender gives it to her…

It’s Mix Time: Drink Canada Dry

In Musak, funky house on June 19, 2008 at 12:28 pm

I was going to wait til next week to share the new mix so that I could start with “Free at last! Free at last!”, but to hell with it, here it is.

I’m off to Canada for a fortnight from Sat 28th. Good timing, as the day before I will have handed in my 4,000 word assignment for the OU (which is currently at an, ahem, interesting stage…)
We’re starting in the west in Vancouver then making our way across the country taking in various cities and ending up in Toronto. With a bungee jump somewhere in there (and car hire: I have to drive a few hundred kilometres on the wrong side of the road – I’m not sure which is more terrifying!).
Anyway, in celebration of all things Canadian, here is a mix of all of my favourite Céline Dion and Bryan Adams tracks. 
Or, maybe this:

Steve unveils the iPhone 3GThe maximum price around the world is $199 USD. 

So sayeth Steve (being liveblogged over at MacRumors Live). And $299 for the 16GB version. Good grief!

My chunky little Sony Ericsson is sweating nervously….

It’s Mix Time! Creepy Treehouse

In Musak, funky house on June 1, 2008 at 12:54 am

Pic of scary house on a thick treeMixing is therapy.

As I get stressed out about work and my studies, one of my ways to unwind is uncork a nice red and get to mixin’.

Shoreditch Trauma appears to be one of my most downloaded and popular mixes. It was a bit of a departure for me in that it consisted of lots of frenetic indie goodness rather than funky euphoric house. The gay party boys in London said it was too ‘heavy metal’ (LOL), but it seemed to take on a life of its own online.

So, here tentatively, is the follow up: Creepy Treehouse!

We start with some indie/dance and get a bit darker before some 80s Bobby O stuff. Then it’s Duckie o’Clock til we get to Mrs Sarkozy and a fucked up Dolly Parton mix.

What’s not to like?

  1. Something New (Galactic Version) The Black Ghosts
  2. Archangel (8-Bit Boy Remix) Burial
  3. Bizarre Love Triangle (The Crystal Method Extended Mix) New Order
  4. Guilty Hotline
  5. Hard To Beat (Axwell Remix) Hard Fi
  6. Blind (Frankie Knuckles Mix) Hercules and Love Affair
  7. Young Love Moto Boy
  8. Roscoe Midlake
  9. The Wine She Drinks Exit: Pursued By A Bear
  10. Hot in Herre Tiga feat. Jake Shears
  11. Shoes Kelly
  12. Witchi Tai To X-Press 2 feat. Tim DeLaughter
  13. Finally, Did You No Wrong (CeCe Peniston vs Sex Pistols) Go Home Productions
  14. Time To Pretend MGMT
  15. Bug Powder Dust Bomb The Bass feat. Justin Warfield
  16. Walking With A Ghost In Paris (Tegan & Sara vs Mylo) Party Ben
  17. Broken English (Baron von Luxxury Slow Touch 120 Remix) Marianne Faithfull
  18. Le dernière minute Carla Bruni
  19. Jolene (Divide & Kreate Mix) Dolly Parton
