drinking tea and being me

i love drinking tea, i wasn't so big on it before, but now it has become a central part of my life. i drink tea almost everyday and it's fantastic. i love the warmth it provides, the subtle flavours and that general feeling of wellbeing. but of course it creates a problem, i can't sleep. sometimes i'm able to fall asleep easily if i have a cup at about eight, but otherwise i'll be up until the sun rises and so you will find me here ranting.

work has been busy, i think my boss is going to leave. that leaves me to fill the hotseat, i don't know if i want to take it. the money would be nice, however it means i'm at least committing to two years in the post and i'm not sure if that will work for me. it's all kind of heresay until there is an official announcement. i feel so drained coming home from work everyday, there has to be something to make me feel better about things. again moving up in that world only means more responsibility and i don't want to be called on off times about alarms and general other bollocks. how did people do it back in the day?

tuesday nights are kind of boring, we've been watching all of dark angel and now alias can shine in the sun. alias is so cool with all of the inventions and general ass kickiness. dark angel isn't bad, it's a little cheesy at times and the first season drags. this blog entry is also dragging. be more interesting. we're finally getting gas for the winter and that was a long drawn out ordeal. i also bought a dvd recorder on the weekend, so i can transfer all of my videos to the digital atmosphere. i'm feeling so blahhhhh, but i might as well say hooray!

my rage playlist comments

i haven't had that much time to write a blog entry, ahh life and laziness. i'll get around to it soon. anyhow to wet your whistle before the next blog entry, here's my rationale for some of the songs i selected for the invade rage competition. it would be so sweet to sit on that couch and act all influential, pissing on about songs. it's what i do best.


suspicious minds

elvis doesn't get as much rage love as the beatles and the stones. i guess most musos view him as naff, but he's the king. this is his greatest moment, such an unbeatable powerful song.

into the groove

no rage playlist is complete without madonna, i assume she has had the most nights devoted to her and deservedly so. this is from her most watchable movie and is a great danceable late night sorta song.

raspberry beret

prince has a lot of memorable clips, but this one takes the cake for me. he is wearing the coolest outfit and he has some serious dance moves, even when he is basically static.

suedehead

the ghost of rage pasts strikes again. rage has got me into so many cool bands and i remember those smiths and cure specials of 93/94. this clip is sentimental and nice of morrissey floating around lost in indiana and finding james dean and himself. all those emo kids should look at the real deal.

jonathan david

this is a real personal fave, i like it because of the mythology surrounding belle and sebastian. stevie is shut out of the relationship between isabel and stuart. for a filmclip, it has a nice narrative arc and you feel for the characters. it's a hell of a song as well.
