shapeofthingsWe were super-dooper productive yesterday, the boy and I. Up at 5:15 and off to work, then between us we did some shopping, put on 3 loads of washin, put away 2 loads of washing, swept the floors, cleaned the bathroom, washed the car, cooked curry for dinner, caught up with online friends, shot a phot idea, did the dishes and snuggles. I was impressed! Unfortunately, all this activity meant we got to bed late, and once we finally got to bed we were both wide awake, so sadly we're both very tired today. Can't have it all I guess. Alex is off to the dentist today for the 1st time in 5+ years and is feeling a little nervous. I've offered to go hold his hand but he says he'll go alone - doesn't want me to witness his needle-phobia!
Found out yesterday what the managemers have in mind for my work unit. Our new "strategic direction" resembles as excuse to shed lots of staff more than anything else. Considering my contract ends at the end of the current funding cycle I'd best get my shit together and start hunting for a new job. Anyone out there really good with resumes ro want to help me put together a half-decent web-site (I can't code to save myself). Any help would be super-appreciated :-)
Okies, time to go!
1. What is the total amount of music files on your computer?
Less than 10G I'd say. Most of it is live DJ sets, which are Alex's. My personal MP3 collection is quite small, though this will be remedied once I graduate from 33k dial-up!
2. The last CD you bought was:
Mmm, I bought "The Dissociatives" album for Alex and 2 Rachmaninov's for me about 6 months ago? I'm due a massive CD shop, but physio is chewing my spending money
3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?
Currently listening to the soundrack from Plunket & McClean. <3 Craig Armstrong.
4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
What I listen to most is generally background to work/study or Alex's selection, so we'll go for meaning I guess.
1 - Lamb-Gorecki. Beautiful, sweeping romantic sentiment and gorgeous orchestration. Marks various points in my relationship :-)
2 - Across the Universe-The Beatles. Captures those moments of connectedness and pure poetry when you know the universe is unfolding as it should.
3 - Bjork-Hyperballard. Great exploration of self-destructive survivalism and those days where you want to claw yourself apart.
4 - Tori Amos-Hunting Ground. If I really listen to the lyrics I usually cry - so damn tender and sad and haunting. Tori is good for emotive lyricism in general.
5 - Geoff Buckley-Halelujah. The supreme cover of this song - just sweeps me away with the emotion in his sublime voice.
Most of the music I listen to is happy - the cheerful stuff just doen't stick in my mind so much I guess.
5. Who are you going to pass this baton on to? (3 persons) and why?

leggz, because she thinks in lyrics, livel, because she needs to post more and her answers will be interesting, and ifr, because music can tell a story about where you've been and she's made one hell of a journey.
