I hadn’t heard it in years. Made me want to download it, though. But I forgot about it.

Tonight I’m watching my download of the audition rounds of Australian idol S4, and Kyle and Mark suddenly start singing the same song. So I’m reminded of it again and I download it.

Now I’m reading the frontpage of ask.Mefi and my eye falls on a username: _sirmissalot_.

I repeat, four U2log/Whedonesque readers ordered 30 dollar Cuisinarts.

Why?

Update: I had a closer look and it appears they are all parts for a Cuisinart, so it is probably just one user expanding. Ah well, it was funny while it lasted.



Is it a U2 special edition Cuisanart? Can you mash songs in it?

ok, I know that is corny….

More coffee now for me.

I… don’t even know what a Cuisinart is. I’m assuming it’s some form of kitchen utensil?

Which, y’know, is a thought that I have when checking on my fansites. Fansite, check. But… how do I cook dinner?

He told the story of how he found a photograph of himself in a book he picked up from an antique shop, while on holiday in England. It’s a true story. This month the show is letting viewers decide which stories should be repeated in a clip show to introduce the new series.

Do me and my kin a favour and vote for ‘De foto’ on the ‘Wonderen bestaan’ website. You’ll find the poll on the right hand side and ‘De foto’ is the last option in the poll (which doesn’t give it much of a chance of winning!).

It’s a great story and my uncle, who is an author and lyricist, does a great job of telling it (well, duh, he does readings and theater shows for a living). In short: About 20 years ago he was on holiday with his girlfriend L. and another couple. It was a miserable day and he hadn’t even wanted to go to England anyway. When they stopped for lunch, they came across an antique shop.

My uncle had a thing about ‘a book without a title’. He had been talking about this obsession during the trip, of wanting to find this ‘book without a title’. His friends had said books without titles didn’t exist.

Looking through the books on the shelves in the antique shop, he didn’t find anything he wanted. But there was one more book, sitting on a table. Picking it up he saw the book’s cover didn’t have any marking or lettering. It was a book without a title! And when he opened it, he found a picture of himself taken when he was a young man.

Cue theme of the Twilight Zone. Vote now. Vote often.

It was slightly scary, what will all the mad water, but also fun, with Karol Wojtyla’s hairdressing business on the side.

I suppose it’s one of the lighter sides of being feverish and sick again.

That was a great impression Tom :-] I’m still waiting for the day he gets it wrong, like Cathal Coughlan going “Hello London!” in Vicar Street. He never quite recovered from that…
