44. This Is The Life For Me - Something For Kate

Its hot today.

Quite an astute observation I'm sure, it being 33 degrees with a warm north wind. There really isn't any other observation of the weather that would be meteorologically correct.

I guess in the course of artistic and creative license, one could say something along the lines of..

The oppressive dry heat has sucked all the coolness out of the air creating a vacuum of blistering nothingness.

But that would sound like the writing of some sleep deprived VCE English kid.

Good luck to all those fighting the monster that is VCE by the way. I'll let you know that its actually better on the other side. No really.

But back to the heat; in response I've done what all respectable and responsible people do, I've decided to stay at home as long as possible, I've put on a Japanese j-pop music dvd (Shena Ringo), moved to the coolest room of the house (living room), fired up my laptop to do a relaxing international organisations assignment and I've stripped down to just my jocks.

Yes, but for a strip of fabric, I'll be absolutely naked.

Anyway, Shena Ringo; I just can't get into it for some reason. Its playing from the other room so all I'm hearing is the music and not seeing the performance. But I’m just not getting it. It might be because of the heat, this frantic punk’ish music with its high tempo isn't very conductive to what I'm trying to achieve; staying cool and relaxed. Maybe its just the vocals are too high pitched Japanese woman for me on a Thursday morning.

Oh well.

But I owe it to Squidge to give it another shot. He's been raving about this group for a while, so I'll try it again tomorrow, maybe another disc will be better.

CDs I am listening to at the moment are;
- Something for Kate: Desert Lights (very good),
- Miles Davis: Kind of Blue (also good),
- Belle & Sebastian: The Life Pursuit (also good),
- Jamie Cullum: Twentysomething (good)
- Panic! at the Disco: A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (strange but good)
- Jack Johnson: In Between Dreams (just because its getting summer'y and this is my summer music)

Song that I dislike immensely because it has been overplayed on the radio;
- The Fray: that annoying one with the line "I never knew..." grr

Australian Idol betting
- Bobby
- Thankfully not Lavina
