tales from an ordinary world

"Daddy daddy it was just like you said
now that the living outnumber the dead."
Well, I went and voted in the sorriest excuse for a referendum the country's ever seen. They couldn't ask a simple yes/no question, it had to be "no" or "yes with conditions", the scumbags. But at least I could find somewhere to vote this time :)
The new Mouse On Mars CD's got this way cool red gibbon thing on the cover. Well, I think it's a gibbon. It's got a black face, so that rules out Orang Utans, I suppose.
My shopping's been remarkably restrained lately, and when I think about it I'm not really sure why I'm still saving up all this money that I'm not sure what to do with. Of course, the more money I save up, the more temptation there is to just go and spend it on spurious items like TV tuner cards for my computer - this from the person who hardly ever watches TV. I figured it might be fun in some kind of arty way. Honest. So anyway, I've got some money. A little more than I've managed to save before, but not enough to say, go put on a house or anything. Even so, do I want to do that ? I feel like I should, but I also feel that I haven't really found The Place Where I Want To Live just yet, and of course there's always that lurking fantasy of just running away from it all and starting a new life pulling beers in some remote town or other...
