Tuesday, December 31, 2002 lo and behold or low and behold? Visit Simon's blog to see more. I think it's the former, but only cos a Smashing Pumpkins song tells me so. So - the Earth has revolved once around the Sun. Cool, eh? It's the symbolism that's important though, eh? From here on in, I want EVERYONE who reads this blog (that even includes you, Simon - my one and only reader I believe) to call 2003 "20-0-3 (twenty oh three)" and see how far it goes. I kinda tried to kick this off in 2001 (read "twenty oh one") but everyone INSISTED on calling it 2001 (two thousand and one). Damn Stanley Kubrick and his science fiction popular culture. Wait. Did I just say that? On another note: it's official. I suck. I have officially been working at Kmart Forest Hill for 5 years and received a certificate of 5 years Service today in a very sad little ceremony. Our store manager, the one with the eye patch, called over the PA: "All available staff to the Service Desk" (my post at work). One member came. How discouraging. That definitely promotes long service in the ranks of Kmartians, doesn't it?? I jest. She did it again, and used a more forceful voice and more people came. Then we were given our certificates. Only to go back to the mindless monotony of work. "Strange things are afoot at The Circle K" - quote from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. ,sehceeps ytterp ekam uoy elihW .sderhs ot tuc gnieb m'I ,snoil eht ot em deef uoY ecnalab etaciled a setalp gninnips ekil sleef tsuj siht nehW .dnal ookcuc duolc ni gnivil m'I setalp gninnips ekil sleef tsuj siht dnA .revir yddum eht nwod gnitaolf seidob ruO Something else: friends Erica, Will, Luke, Beck, Joel, Joel, Eug and actually a lot of my other friends all play musical instruments. Well. I play a musical instrument. (Not Well.) Here are some ideas for bands that I may or may not be involved in. Most likely the latter. They are copyrighted of course under Devine Enterprises and may only be used with the express and prior consent of I, Andrew J Devine.: here goes with what I'm sure is a misquote: Be ware: "we need a name that is funny at first but gets less funny each time you hear it": "ACCORD PROGRESSION" I like it. It 'fits' Also a name for a cocktail that I think could really take off (both literally and figurativelly - you'll see what I mean): "TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD" Actually that may also be a great name for a band. Or a drunk band. Or a band of drunks. AHA! Go the language! Anyway, less of my ramblings. More of your sanity. One more quote on this last day of 2002. See you in twenty oh three. "Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. To-day, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient short comings considerably shorter than ever. We shall also reflect pleasantly upon how we did the same old thing last year about this time. However, go in, community. New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions, and we wish you to enjoy it with a looseness suited to the greatness of the occasion."
