1. ALLIE MOSS - CORNERS
Recognise the song? Unless you exist without television, or stick to the BBC because you don't like adverts, you'll know this is the song from the BT advert (I don't know what they're actually selling for I spend the advert singing along and admiring the shooting star things rather than reading the small print). It got me thinking about other great songs that the majority of us heard first on an advert... The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition, anyone? (thank you, Channel 4, for bringing this into my life through your V Festival 2009 coverage). Anyway enjoy the enlightening little tune. It'll brighten your day.
2. EMBARRASSMENT
Needs more explaining, but here's my account of the event. I was informed that my canteen had been refurbished. It had indeed, and is now the swanky and continental 'Cafe Nuevo'. A little over-excited, I bounded into the room (complete with the Cossack hat), and exclaimed "WOW". Enthusiasm was evident. Embarrassment was prominent. I no longer feel I can purchase food at my college, and since I have no idea who was in there at the time, I no longer feel I can travel around the local area unaccompanied for fear of ridicule. I may have to write to an agony aunt to get over this difficult time.
3. PARTY MAKE-UP
The party season is fast approaching (I know you're sick of people/furniture companies/Boots telling you this, but it's November now, and you can't deny it any longer). This gives us all (even boys, it's the 21st century - go and buy some guyliner)the perfect opportunity to do the make up you've been too scared/mellow/sober to try out all year. So, here's my personal favourite party make-up. Taken at Woodstock in 1969, the look can be achieved with liquid eyeliner and some dark eyeshadow (black or grey works best). I actually adopt this at any vaguely-appropriate event (Gay Pride, my birthday etc) and it does actually work. But take your time with the dots, and have a cotton bud and make-up remover within a suitable distance - you'll soon realise the look is not for the faint-hearted.
Went to have a look at the new canteen today. Having an issue getting my head around how the vaguely shiny metallic hotplate they've installed in exactly the same place as the old one can be considered a Cafe Neuvo makeover. Also struggling to understand why it warrants your overenthusiastic 'ditsy-orgasm-yelp' noise.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I can imagine how painting on your own face to appear a teary Indigenous Australian is a feat reserved exclusively for the fearless/cold-hearted.
As sarcastic as I sound (had a bad day - and you of all people'll understand how bad I am at dealing with those), I actually enjoy these blog posts. Well, almost as much as replying to them.
(injoke:) I couldn't let this submit without a reference to the famous infinite monkey theorum. Give a gorilla in a Cossack hat a type-writer?
