I cannot believe it's Thursday. Somehow I've lost two days.

3 Things I'm Doing Right Now:

3 Things I Want To Do Before I Die:
Fuck knows. I cannot think of a single thing that I want to do this weekend, never mind before I die.
3 Things I Can Do:
Touch type.
Read.
Write.
3 Things I Can't Do:
Fly a plane.
Build a nuclear weapon.
Sing like Otis Redding.
3 Things I Think You Should Listen To:
"Come Undone" by Robbie Williams. (I think this is one of Robbie's greatest tracks. I fight the urge to indulge in destructive behaviour and I understand this song completely. I was sorry to hear about Robbie's recent problems. I think he is a great singer and a great entertainer. I hope he comes back with a killer record, wows America and becomes a global superstar. Honestly I do.)
"74-75" by the Connells. (This was #1 on my earworms list for Swiss Toni. I'm still listening to it and it still gives me shivers.)
"Pleasant Valley Sunday" by the Monkees. (In times of trouble I always retreat to the songs I loved when I was a little boy, and when I was a little boy I really loved the Monkees. Still do. This is a great single. One of their best singles)
3 Things You Should Never Listen To:
Arseholes.
Idiots.
Naysayers.
3 Things I'd Like To Learn:
To drive. (Actually I can drive, but I have never actually passed the test.)
To play the bass guitar.
How to use my computer to it's full advantage.
3 Favourite Foods:
Chips.
Curry.
Pasta.
3 Shows I Watched As A Kid:
"Doctor Who"
"Timeslip"
"The Twilight Zone"
3 Bloggers I’ve tagged:
One from each country, methinks.
Stef.
Katy.
Ginny.
This week I turned down the chance to work in America for a couple of months. Denver, to be exact. I also managed to twist it so that Lorraine and her boss were clear that it was the most offensive offer ever made to me.
Remind me. What did I say about fighting the urge to indulge in destructive behaviour?
I'll tell you about it sometime, but not now.
I think that Lorraine and I are pretty much finished.

Okay, I guess I'll have to think about meme a bit before posting it. I'm not going to the (new) office tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll find some time for it.
Your last sentence does NOT sound good.

Can I go to Denver in your place then? (Just kidding!)
Thanks for taking the tag! Some interesting answers in there.

My meme is up — the answers may be a bit strange, as I wrote them under the influence of cold medicine. I hope you are OK...
ok first song, Come Undone... I found disturbing. If I didnt watch the utube video I bet I would be all over it... but it tugged at my heart stirings.
74-75 is a good song. But it was the Monkeys song that really brought me back! OMG!!!
I just did a post about songs that were popular when you were 18 (NOOOOOOO the Monkeys were not that! I am old but not THAT old! lol) It was a trip to think about!
Cheers!

I like your answers to your memes Pynchon. Very honest. A rarity these days, so always a pleasure to come across. As to you and Lorraine...well, it is difficult to know what to say isn't it? For what it is worth, from my own experiences, I do understand how the one who is still in love suffers when the other's feelings have changed. In my lifetime I have experienced it on both sides of the fence: both as the sufferer, and (currently) as the one who's feelings have changed. Neither situation is easy. I do hope you will come thru this OK Pynchon...my thoughts are with you.
Ooh, I've been tagged!
I'll have a stab at this over at my place right now. Sorry for the delay here, things have been a bit mental for me lately and my blog reading has been somewhat rubbish.
