GOTTEDAMMERUNG TODAY UPDATE! I'm currently listening to a CD of Wagner's orchestral music. The overture to Tristan and Isolde, Gottedammerung, the Ride of the Valkyries - sheesh, did the guy ever write anything that wasn't serious? It all makes me feel a little insigificant. Next time, I'll just put on The Spazzies.
SHIRE NONSENSE UPDATE! Girthy goth girl wearing not very much speaking to a non-descript guy at North Melbourne station yesterday: 'I'm from Norwickshire' 'Is that near Northumberlandshire?' 'No, closer to Leicestershire'
I missed out on the next couple of sentences, but I wouldn't be the least surprised if they'd gone on to mention Cheshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Jonathanshire, and even Abubakarbashire.
Oddly enough, I was a little bit disappointed when girthy goth girl mentioned to the guy that she was looking for a house at the moment. Girthy goth girls flat-hunt like the rest off us? I thought they were creatures of the night, above such mortal concerns ...
EXPLETIVE UPDATE! Fucking hell, almost missed Doctor Who!
