The Last Plane Out Of Sydney’s Almost Gone

  • February 24, 2012

I hadn’t heard this song in perhaps 20 years, but got a copy when I was in Australia earlier this year.

It’s so good. So sad. So powerful. It’s about a Vietnam vet who’s not the same after the war and turns to a destructive life, but for me it’s all about memories of going to workers clubs and pubs with friends back in the very late 1980s and early 90’s. Nostalgia I guess. It was always playing, and people would always sing along (especially when drunk). Back in those days I hated the song. Now I love it.

I could listen to it all day.

Type 40?

Here’s a photo of me holding something I got for Christmas from SFL:

It’s a light up Tardis soap! Who made it? Where did she get it? Who knows! It’s small but very detailed. Here’s a close up:

It came in a pack of two with a Dalek (that doesn’t light up any more). An unusual but very cool gift.

Sooo, it must be used! And I’m posting about it today since tomorrow I shall start using it in the shower.

You could almost say that tomorrow this Tardis soap will… dematerialize 😉

Happy Birthday Momomo

It’s my birthday soon, so I thought it nice to treat my WoW avatar, Momomo, to a gift as well. Therefore I purchased for her the horribly overpriced but very, very pretty new Heart Of The Aspects cash-store mount for World of Warcraft.

It’s a glowy, amazingly animated golden dragon thing. Here’s a shot:

A pretty girl on a pretty dragon 🙂
