I'm playing around on this Mystery Google thing. I just dialled up two strangers in America and sung True Colours down the phone to them. I love the Internet.

The newest battle tournament is going to be...

Favourite Futurama Song!

The idea to do Farnsworth inventions won the vote, but I would like to compile a proper list of them before doing that, so while I'm working on that, a short battle tournament that many of you wanted to do anyway seemed like the best option.

Begins Tuesday, twice-a-week again and should last only a few battles.

Included is any original song or version of a song where pretty much the whole song is different except for the tune.

If anybody would like a particular song included, please comment and mention the song, otherwise, the following is the final list (in no particular order).

Futurama Intro Song
Leela: Orphan of the Stars
My Broken Friend
New Justice Theme Song
Into the Wild Green Yonder intro
Popplers
Robot Hell
Santa Claus is Gunning You Down
Single Female Lawyer Havin' Lots of Sex
Street Song (Lars Loves Me) - Bender's Big Score
Toyshop Goes to War - Bender's Big Score
TV Party Tonight
Whalers on the Moon
Bureaucrat Song - How Hermes
Don't Mess With Earth - Taste of Freedom
Bee Happy
Robo-Routers Theme
Elves Go Back To Work Today - Tale of Two Santas
4th Day of Xmas

I Want My Hands Back
I Love My Mommy (Greeting Card Song)
I'll Shoot Her With My Raygun
Blue Tailed Fly (Cracked corn) - Bendin' in the Wind

I know, I know. You have all been on tenterhooks for days! Days! Whilst I steadfastly refuse to reveal to you whose customer service is the worst of all. What is a tenterhook anyway? Without Googling, a vague recollection tells me it's butchers' hooks for hanging meat on. But I might have just made that up. If you happen to be writing an exam today and the question "What is a tenterhook?" comes up, I have two pieces of advice:

Only t'other day, I was commenting in reply to something gem_pinkeh had said that John Farnham's You're the Voice is a song you don't hear enough of nowadays.

And then yesterday's Merlin - Secrets and Magic comes along and... *giggle* What a bizarre coincidence. What a bizarre sequence... *g*

And I still haven't seen the actual episode yet, so I'have that (with bonus Georgia Moffett, so *yay*), not to mention The Real Merlin and Arthur (which sounds like being an absolute blast) to look forward to...

But I think I'll be rewatching the You're the Voice a couple more times... *g*

If anybody would like Christmas cards from the Sarah!David gestalt entity, leave a comment (which will be screened) with your name and address and something will be sent to you. If Sarah gets me organised enough, it might even hit the post before last posting day... If you've ever filled in one of these in previous years, I expect we'll send you one anyway. Unless you'd really rather not, in which case just say so.

And if you've done one of these posts, could you point me to it so I can let you have our address? We'll be spending Christmas day here together, but all the decorations are buried somewhere in the lock-up in Barking, so it would be nice to have something to add a bit of seasonal cheer to the place! (So far, we've received two cards; one was from the postman and the other was for a previous resident...)

Actually, that's not entirely true. I bought the first four Christmas presents yesterday without any particular prompting from Sarah. Heck, one of them was for Sarah.

However, that's probably cleaned me out for the rest of the month. *erk*

I have an iPhone.

Sarah has a Blackberry.

On the - admittedly not too frequent - occasions when I have cause to borrow Sarah's Blackberry, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to remember that, unlike the iPhone, it doesn't have a touch screen.

I really did intend to get up quite early and make some early headway on AIOTM 8, but my body rebelled. Not only did I sleep in til midday (having stayed up late watching three episodes of the Wire after getting home from the cinema at midnight) I couldn't build up the energy to go to the gym as I'd intended. Or even to the newsagent for the papers. I stayed on the sofa, failing to even write my blog and just watched episode after episode of Battlestar Galactica. I can't even tell you how many I watched. Fucking loads of them.

Have spent the day helping set up lighting cues for the school production of Hairspray. At least, I thought I would be doing that, but the afternoon mostly consisted of babysitting the drama teacher's dog. He brought her in because there was no-one at home to look after her, but the builders working at the back of the stage made a racket and she got spooked, so I walked her around the school.

Does anyone else on my f-list know Bare, the musical about the Catholic schoolboys? I'm curious, because hardly anyone seems to ever have heard of it. I finally got round to downloading the soundtrack last night, and I think it's definitely one of the best musicals I've ever heard. I hope it gets a run on Broadway some time, because it really deserves it.

Also: man, I'd forgotten how much I love a good kink meme. XD

I went to see "A Christmas Carol" in 3D at the IMAX tonight. I have to say it was more out of a desire to see some a 3D film rather than because I wanted to see Jim Carrey's take on this Dickens classic. It is a story I am more than familiar with, my favourite version being "The Muppet's Christmas Carol" which stayed true enough to the story, whilst adding a large degree of humour to what can be a bit of a dry and sanctimonious story.

The rules are:

1. Anyone who looks at this entry has to can post this meme and their current wallpaper at their Livejournal.
2. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
3. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

No, the world has not gone topsy-turvy. (Well, maybe a little.) Dearalovelyfix has graciously switched posting days with me, as I was originally slated for December 6th. (Gratias tibi ago,Casee!)

This trailer - for a new season on BBC4 - looks interesting. Not sure about Charlie Brooker's assertion that BBC Micro owners were "posh". For that matter, it wasn't Spectrum vs BBC - I owned one of each... (Maybe that does make me posh...)



♥ this trailer for the latest series of Top Gear...



And this from the latest ep of HIGNFY...I've no idea what it actually is (beyond not being Channel 4's new children's character), but...I want one... *craves*

With the holidays now upon us, Udre is wondering what to get his girls for Christmas!

( What is this Black Friday? It should be Black SatUdre, da? )

Happy SatUdre, sistahs!

LOL! XD

Another meme, 'cause I'm bored and waiting for the sekrits.
( One long ass meme )
