It's not stealing... it's appropriation!

I love having my iTunes on shuffle and am enjoying the shiny new version... so I have decided to 'appropriate' Daniel's random five. :)
(I may also be trying to keep myself busy with something that does not involve much thought in order to distract myself so I don't think about having to catch a plane!)

Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing 'Building a Mystery'
'Nice' is a good word to describe Sarah McLachlan and this song. There is only one of her songs that I think is great and it's not this one :P
Elton John - Greatest Hits 'Don't let the sun go down on me'
I'm too young to know what album this originally came from *shocked gasps*. Not my favourite song by Sir Elton but it's Elton John all the same and it's all good

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes 'Tear in Your Hand'

I was introduced to Tori by a very good friend of mine in about year 8. I think I went to his house when I wasn't supposed to one day after school and we sat and talked and listened to Tori. There are only a couple of songs by Tori that I don't like... this isn't one of them. It's a bit more 'pop' than a lot of her stuff however.

Hunters and Collectors - Natural Selection 'Blindeye'
I seem to be getting some classics. Hunters and Collectors are awesome... what can I say. I'm not so familiar with this song though. It sounds like hunters and Collectors = good. There are also some nice little trumpety bits in it :)


Queen - Greatest Hits 'Seven Seas of Rhye"
Oh man. Talk about a classic. I don't even need to say anything about Queen. Oh Freddie! Again, I don't know which album it's actually originally from :S

Something about this song has been bothering me of late:
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside, oh I do like to be beside the sea... **who knows what goes here?? Seriously, let me know!!!**
plays tiddley om pom pom... beside the seaside, beside the sea.
Now off to the airport :S

happy travels and random ramblings

In five hours I will be on a plane and there will probably not be much left of my nails that I've managed to grow these past few weeks.
I think partially because the first time I flew was at 20 I am terrified of flying. I hate it. I want a teleporter. I don't even care if I end up small like Mike Teevee... except if I kept getting smaller each time ....hmmmm

My next door neighbour waters her small fron lawn every evening. I want to tell her to stop it cos she's wasting water and it's not going to help the lawn not be brown anyway... but I don't. ANGK (!)

I'm sure I will be posting from Sydney hopefully with lotsa noice photos of friends, family sydney and my **NEW NOSE PIERCING** :)
