Mary J Blige - Family Affair (No More Drama [2008])

I really like the sound of Mary J Blige’s voice and this is song is just so groovy and funky it’s hard not to dance to it.

I especially love the lines in the bridge: We don’t need … no haters / Just try to love one another / We just want y’all to have a good time / No more drama in your life … If you’ve got beef you’re problem not mine / Leave all that BS outside.

“Labor government: You do know that by doing this you are frankly, pissing off an entire generation of voters? I just wanted to clear that up for you. Cause there is no way in hell that any of the educated generation y cohort is going to vote for the Labour party pushing what is, effectively, censorship. I don’t care if you say you’re trying to block child pornography or illegal material, I can’t listen if you don’t even give us an option to opt-out of your trivial, expensive, waste of time.”

“Womanizer” à la Lily Allen. Britney Spears sure does have a track record of having her songs turned into kitschy acoustic versions – anyone remember the abundance of “Toxic” covers?

“The campaign to prevent the mandatory internet filter in Australia has been like no other campaign before it. Though the subject matter naturally lends itself to the type of campaign we’re witnessing - and participating in as never before - it also offers a fascinating glimpse into the way more mainstream campaigns will be run in the future. We are witnessing what may come to be seen as the beginnings of open source government in this country.”

Neat Little RubyGems Thing

Want to execute a binary from a different version of a gem? Simply add _version_ after the command name!

For example, to run the rails command, but use version 2.2.2 simply type rails _2.2.2_

I love neat little things like this!

25 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Me

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:24:00 +1100

So, I know I’m a little bit late to Mona’s party, but here goes nothing.

I live on an island.
I love grammar and learning archaic and pretentious words.
I work in a supermarket.
I am a television junkie.
I once performed a rendition of the “What a Feeling” scene from Flashdance in front of my entire grade and then again infront of a couple of hundred people.
I learned the hard way that you shouldn’t enter a pie eating competition after eating lunch.
I do not want to upsize.
I have the lamest music collection ever on my iPod.
Je parle un petit français.
I love caramel.
I think American bacon looks funny.
I hate Math, but am pretty good at it.
I think paying thousands of dollars on a single piece of clothing is insane and stupid.
I can’t wait to watch the Inauguration of President Obama on Wednesday morning.
Also on Wednesday, I am going to see Ross Noble live.
I hate living in a small country town.
I have been 16 for almost a month now.
I think David Letterman is overrated.
I have one, incredibly annoying, sister.
My mother is one of seven, which means I have an umpteen number of cousins, second cousins, aunts and uncles; most of which I’ve either never met or met when I was very young (an occasion which I am expected to remember many years later)
I have a funny sounding voice.
I am partially addicted to Tic Tacs
I still use MySpace.
My dad’s a truck driver.
I am not a nerd.

Phew, glad that’s over!! Feel free to discuss this on FriendFeed at your leisure, I might actually start to use this blog again soon.

SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY IN SYDNEY.

I suck at saving my money. But I swear, it was all on sale! You know me, I’m an asian, I hate spending more than $20 on anything. But oh… it’s not even that much.

But in America… I’ll be spending left right and center. HELP.

Who cares! The economy needs you! If we had any decent shops here, I’d be spending too!
