Logbook

via mrsbrown and doushkasmum

January: Back from South Island wanderings.

February: I'll post the CF summary.

March: The weather gods appear to have heard our posting of house moving stuff and decided to have a giggle.

April: I got to inflict death by powerpoint today.

May: I made it home with a southerly winds starting and the clouds just starting to move in from the south.

June: Mmmmm, Top Gear and David Tennant, how can you go wrong...

July: In the middle of a slight binge at the moment: Finished the 1st 5 Laura Ingalls Wilder books last night (started round dinner time, finished The Long Winter round 12:30am).

August: Just back from WW (we took an extra day) and have work entirely too soon tomorrow, so not going to post about that just yet.

September: Our washing machine has died - well, it still goes, it just gushes water everywhere including over the electrics :(

October: For later...

November: It's not very nice out.. ie there is a howling NW gale and it is pouring down.

December: So, noticed the SA learner driver licence is about to expire and decided that it would be good to see if it can just be changed over, rather than having to do a theory test again/start from scratch.

Should really start on something constructive soon...

(cause it is interesting seeing what people will recognize what...)

You all know the drill :) Some are less random than others if I saw them on the selection screen, so there are some favorites there.

Put your music player on random.
- Post the first lines from the first 32 (I'm going to have to go with 21, cause it is late) songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (actually I tended to skip anything off the hard drive which was there out of Z's collection which I couldn't stand...).
- Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
- Bold the songs (well, actually IDing them seems nicer) when someone guesses correctly.
- Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

First lines for guessing:

1.There is freedom withinDon't Dream its over - Sarah Blasko cover of the Crowded house song. mayela_delarue

Now bed.

(Edit: Sorry for the delay in replying - try not to post at work. Not many left, though I would have thought people might have gotten some of those. Have marked with (K) the ones off Z's Kaos list cds.

It's all quiet here and has been since 6am (bah!), so I will indulge in a bit of memeage (seen more in overseas LJ lists)
( Cause not all of you are interested in costuming memes and it is one of those text rather than pretty picture things )

Groceries, hat, math practice (will be warmer with hat), dinner, sewing/TV.
Usual line up.

Oh, and while I remember, alpha_angel, for a kickarse female mercenary leader heroine who wears real armour, read Mary Gentle's Ash series. 3/4 of the way through book two at the momment. Definitely at the gritty muddy detailed end and the author knows her history (or alternate history).
