Pedigree

The new Pedigree Ad. My favourite Ad, if I ever had one (except for that Telstra ad where the kid asks his Dad why they built the Great Wall of China. "Rabbits. To ah, keep out the rabbits, son." Practically screamed bogan. Especially with the Sam Robson accent).

You know the one, white background, dogs. I didn't really pay attention to what they were saying, but someone on the Pedigree marketing team (or their advertising firm) deserves a 7 digit income for having taste in music. Cello Suite No.1 BWV 1007 by Bach. I'd recognise it anywhere. So ner, I payed attention only to the music, which is more than enough reason for it to be a favourite.

Crime of Innocence and Hostility Restrained are the same piece. :0

Ms Lim told me just before rehearsal to come to a little meeting at recess. Hmm, ok. I get a note in English to go see her at recess. Hmm, ok.

So I go to see her at recess. "Thanks, Patrick." She hands me a small box of chocolates. Hmm, ok.

Chapman is playing Benedict of the Whales with Wilson. Nothing was more hilarious (today, at any length) than the sound of Chapman making whale-noises on a trombone.

Ms Lim is too nice; that's why guys hang around in the staffroom. Take advantage of her good nature (guys taking advantage of nice girls. Some things never change.)

2 out of 3 times she has called me to a meeting, there wasn't an actual meeting. The other time was the last rehearsal of term 4 last year. Turned out she had thrown a little party for the people who turned.

Me: "Sorry, miss - I don't like sweet things."

Just came back from Dr. Du. I don't perform well under pressure...sigh. At least I got an A+ (unsurprisingly, due to a LACK OF VALERIE). I sparked Samantha's interest with my book laying face-down on the table. Time traveler's wife. (A little too smutty for my tastes.)

Frank (A quote from Frank; you should automatically associate this with humour): "You're reading Time Traveler's wife? It's a good book! You can jack off to it."

Yes frank...

I don't know many well-read girls. Which is either because I should get to know more girls, or girls these days aren't readers. I hope the former.

And Kelvin, (who insists on referring to the book as paedophilia; ignoring the deus ex machina plot device. Strangely enough, the use of it doesn't automatically imply hackneyedism. That's a word. Trust me.), ignore the fact that they 'meet' at 6 and 36. That's nothing - they marry at something like 22 and 30.

Read Lolita by Nabakov. Classic, though I wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

Must buy American Psycho and a Mario Puzo book.

Il Air sounds suspiciously like the Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet.

That's all from me. Ta.
