Labor WA slings big policy at families

It was announced on the 29th that if Labor retains government at the election students will have to pay no more then fifty cents to go to school no matter how far they need to travel.

In my eyes this is a big winner policy but only time will tell.

The Blogger Song Playlist

A new torch is now being passed from blogger to blogger. Eventually it will pass to everyone in the entire world. I picked up the torch at Too Many Losers. It is, Your media player's shuffled ten.

The rules are simple,

1. Open up the music player on your computer or iPod etc.
2. Set it to play your entire music collection.
3. Hit the "shuffle" or "random" command.
4. List title of the next ten songs including artist, no matter how embarrassing.
5. If the same artist comes up twice in the list you may skip it and list the next track, but you don't have to.
6. List the answer on your blog and link to where you found it.

Here are my shuffled ten,

1. Life on Mars by David Bowie
2. Righteous Love by Joan Osborne
3. Pretty by Danielle Spencer
4. Mysterons by Portishead
5. Mota by Offspring
6. The Twelfth of Never by Jeff Buckley
7. Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
8. Missing the War by Ben Folds Five
9. Blue Jean by David Bowie
10. Vibrate by Outkast

It's probably good to note that I share a computer with Tealou.

Top 10 Albums of All Time

While watching one of the many music channels today I thought about this time old question. What are the top 10 albums of all time?

Well there are so many different ways too judge an album and so many artists too pick from so I just picked albums that I think have been life changing in some way. I'm sure a billion people would disagree but luckily for me only 3 people read this blog.

So in no particular order here is my top ten albums of all time, I'm sure I'll think of other albums that should be here later on.

Jeff Buckley's Grace

Paul Simon's Graceland

Joan Osbourne's Relish

Macy Gray's On How Life Is

Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Cat Steven's Tea for the Tillerman

Elliott Smith's XO

Leonardo's Bride's Angel Blood

No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom

Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill

So run off and get those if you don't already have them

Time is just an abstract

Since I have decided to write at least once a week, I am here writing. There, are you happy? Will my few feeble misspelled sentences keep you people satisfied for another week? No?

Fine, I will write more.

Today I was thinking about my friend PocKet. Well OK she is not my friend since I have never actually spoken to her but she is an acquaintance. Hmmm OK she's not an acquaintances, she's.........Oh I give up. She knows what she is. PocKet what are you?

Maybe she's my favourite author. No that can't be right, my favourite author is a short funny looking english comic. Could she be my therapist? Sorry, only Dr Phil can fill that position. Look anyway she (If she is even a she) writes a blog that I visit more then once a week.

So anyway I was thinking about PocKet today because today is Sunday and as everybody knows Sunday is Crap and Fish Sticks day. The only problem is PocKet lives on the other side of the world which is a whole twelve hours away, so while I'm about to go to bed after a hard day at the XBOX she still has all her XBOX fun ahead of her.

Anyway, the whole point of the problem is that its almost Monday yet Crap and Fish Sticks has yet to be updated due to the whole time difference thing.

It's not fair!

Quarter Life Crisis

While I'm here I thought I should mention that its my birthday on Tuesday. I will be turning 25 and I am having a bit of a quarter life crisis.




I suppose it could be worse, I'm not as old as this person and no where near as old as this poor Guy.

Oh and all gifts appreciated

The 2005 Australian Blog Awards

After checking out some of the West Australian blogs nominated in the 2005 Australian Blog Awards I have too say that most aren't anything worth spending time at. I'm not saying that mine are any better but at least I was nice enough not to get nominated.

There are two exceptions in the WA category. A Yobbo's View and Kitta.net are two good WA sites and should be given a few minutes of your time.

Oh I suppose I should mention Big In Japan was nominated and it is a great site but lately she has been mucking with her layout so it's not up to its usual standard of top notch content.

Happy Browsing

America chips in, eventually

Could it be that Bush just didn't get what tsunami meant? Could he be so ignorant that he just couldn't fathom the destruction that occurred in South East Asia?

Initially contributing 35 million dollars to the countries devastated in this weeks tsunami the United States has upped its pledge to 350 million dollars.

The White House has also said that the 350 million could rise after an evaluation of the devastated areas by Colin Powell and a team of delegates.

I suppose we can now all thank Dictionary.com and Encarta for showing Bush what a tsunami really is, or maybe he just saw a picture like this one.
