You've heard this before...

Why oh why do the neighbours feel the need to have a loud party every fucking Friday night and be loud right past midnight. I thought legally loud noise after 10pm can be classified as nuisance and/or noise pollution. I just wish they'd be halfway considerate of the people living around them.

Aaaaanyway! Karaoke was dead but jumping tonight. Few people, but lots of energy. I got to sing 5 songs, all newies.

1. What's Love Got To Do With It - Tina Turner
The verses were good but the high notes and especially the transitions to and from said high notes were awful.

2. Blaze Of Glory - Jon Bon Jovi
Sang this with Sarah. It was a Bon Jovi song, we knew it off by heart, of course we rocked. :)

3. Careless Whisper - WHAM!
This was good. It's so one of those songs I grew up on. My sister had Make It Big by WHAM! and played it often.

4. Don't Know Why - Norah Jones
I was afraid this would be an utter disaster but it was surprisingly okay.

5. All Out Of Love - Air Supply
Good except the karaoke version was really fast and ended differently to what I'm used to. Here am I waiting for the big end notes and all I get is a fade out.

And I am so utterly chronic with this birding thing. The clip for Eagle Rock was shot in Kakadu, the jacanas gave it away. I busily ID'ed every single bird in that clip. Osprey (I think this was meant to be the "eagle" for Eagle Rock, an Ospreys closest relationship to an eagle is the fact that it's a raptor, not much else), Magpie Goose, Jacana, Radjah Shelduck, Straw-Necked Ibis, Great Egret, Spoonbill (couldn't tell if it was Royal or Yellow-Billed but I'm assuming Royal). I am too geek. And of course it made me all excited about going up north again, I'll get to see most of those birds.

Now, off to have a shower and destinkify. Another night particularly bad for involuntary smoke inhalation.

Them annoying Quizzila quizzes

They quite possibly have many spelling and grammatical errors.


"it's a small world": The happiest cruise
that ever sailed! Surreal and silly, or sweat
and touching, you are a well intentioned 1960s
homage to the world's diversity that
unfortunatly inspires feelings of sheer terror
in those who can't help but feel something more
sinister lays beneath your shiney surface. But
most cannot deny your charm, even if they
cannot explain it, and leave feeling better
than when they entered. Most overlook the fact
that because of your unique style and design,
courtesy of Disney Legend Mary Blair, you are a
true work of art and you deserve to be
appreciated. You are both worldy and
simplistic, both cosmopolitan and decidedly
middle American. You are a splendid
candy-coated contradiction with a sugary, sunny
song that one never forgets. If the world
truely listened to your never-ending optimism,
it could be a small world after all.

You're the best -- you know it, as does everyone
else (except for US News and World Report every
few years). You might not be hip, you might not
be pretty, but you're smart as a whip and you
never need to do another impressive thing in
your life.


Which Ivy League University is right for YOU?

I didn't get most of this quiz. Maybe it's an American thing.

Okay this next one is kinda freaky. One of the questions...
What do you like to do in your spare time?
First option - Read books, Volunteer at the local animal shelter, Bake things.
That is scary, because of course it's precisely what I do.

However, I don't have a fave Harry Potter character because *shock horror* I have never read or seen Harry Potter!

Hrm, when did "Mannequin" start to be spelled "Manikin"? The one's at the First Aid course were also spelled like that. As far as I'm concerned a Manikin is a type of finch.


You're like me! The intelligent loner. You're shy
at times but friendly, and you are never weak
and always independent. You are incredibly
intelligent (wise beyond your years) and have a
talent for many things (sports, music, art).
You have a kind and warm personality and enjoy
the simple things. Like hanging out with
friends and watching movies at home. But you're
sometimes quiet nature makes you a bit of an
outcast and a mystery to people. No matter how
pretty you are or smart or athletic, you just
can't seem to break into the crowd and be
noticed. Don't worry, try to be more outgoing
and speak out when you have more to say. Don't
hide behind your books and sports and computer,
get out there and get noticed. You also have
deep desires in life and feel vunerable and
alone at times. Don't feel sad either, What
helps me to express feelings and dreams that I
can't say to people, is through my writting.
Maybe you should try.

Yes, yes I am. But I am nature geeky rather than creative. Whatever.

Hrm, all of a sudden I feel like doughnuts. Weird.
