Meeting Today

I have a meeting today to drop off some equipment arround lunch time. Then I need to visit a client in the city to finish off some computer work. Both should be fairly quick, but we will see.

New Zealand

I was trying to explain to an Italian friend of mine all about the election and one person’s desire to have a ‘short but glorious war with New Zealand’, and asked if I was kidding. I had to inform him I was not kidding. The candidate might have been but I was not.

I didn’t get a chance to tell him about the Effie & Norman Gunstan song “I don’t care who wins, provided Australia beats New Zealand”. He wanted to know where all the ‘Bad Blood’ came from. I asked what bad blood.

Grandmother

No news from my father on my grandmother. I assume that means that things are going well.

Book – Phantom

I am now about a third of the way through the book. If this book is anything like the ‘true’ back story for the musical and film then it is no wonder he was a bit strange. The book is strange in that it is all written in the first person. Not many books are written this way.

Music:

Moby has a new album out. I will need to get it soon. Warren Zevon on Random Play. For those that don’t know him, he sang the song ‘Werewolf of London’.
