Just me and the 'puter.

Again. BRM's here, but he's sulking/studying in his room, only coming out to grumble about the music I had on. Since I've been out all day, I can only assume something has gone wrong Kate-wise - he was reading something that he folded up pretty quickly when I came in to say hello after getting home. And the place is the same mess I left it in - lazy sod hasn't done the dishes at all the past week. I told him to shut his door if what I had on displeased him - after all, he has a stereo in his room, and I don't. Which he has done.

*sighs* And here I was in a good-ish mood after spending Mother's Day with my mum. We had a good lunch, a little bit to drink, and then watched the Swans/Brisbane AFL game afterwards - the Swans lost, unfortunately. I used to be quite into football at one stage, but now I'm sorta half-interested. I enjoy watching the odd game, and barrack with the best of them, but it's not an obsession with me. Then I walked home, facing a lovely sunset - it was what's known as a 'mackerel sky', with the clouds all rippled, and the sky was pink and rose and lavender, touched with gold at the horizon. As I was walking, I got a sense of this big open sky, the space, which I never got living in the city. It was, to quote Stephen King's The Talisman a moment of rainbow.

But of course, the feeling's gone now. Now I just feel ill-used and disgruntled and dissatisfied. I know I'm giong to have to make dinner, since His Lordship is in a snit, and do the dishes from yesterday that are still in the sink. Because if I don't, it won't happen, and I hate cockroaches more than I hate doing all the household chores. :P I'm glad to be going down to Melbourne next weekend, to my bunny-boy (to borrow a term from Trisha!) ;) and have a good time at Mel's party. I'm even more glad to be going over to Canada, and away from this mess for three weeks. At least then I'll be able to relax and have a good time and hang the consequences!

Technical difficulties.

Hrm, I still can't check OTL because my ISP is on one of its rare 'go slows', or the Scratching Post, for that matter. I'm going to assume the email posting of "Justice" worked, since I got feedback from an unsolicited source, but it's still annoying. The only thing I do seem to be able to access is livejournal. :P Ah well, I've been on the computer too much this weekend anyway...

Music to be maudlin by...

Last whinge post from me today, promise. :)

Another CD I shouldn't listen to in a not-happy mood. "Made Me Hard" is bad enough, but it's got this one too...

There's No-One.

There's no-one to call from a country town,
It's not a bad thing.
I don't have anyone lovely to call,
It's not a bad thing.
I'm not doing the dirty, breaking a vow,
I'm not a tom cat doing the rounds.
And if I were there'd be no-one to complain.

There's no-one worrying at home,
Ringing to see if I'll answer the phone,
Happy if after the show I'm alone.

There's no-one to call from a country town
And say I got a tan
Or, we played under the biggest pergola
This side of Japan.
The mountains are hazy - the mist from the sea
Is it good luck for dolphins on the same wave as me?
Or, honey-child, I miss you just the same.

There's no-one worrying at home,
Ringing to see if I answer the phone,
Happy if after the show I'm alone.

It's strange to be happy if your boyfriend's lonely
But that's the way they are.
It's strange to be happy if your girlfriend's lonely,
But that's the way we are.
There's no-one worrying at home...
