ramblings

I had wanted to go swimming today but the thought of having to navigate and manoeuvre my way around screaming, splashing, generally highly annoying kids just turned me right off. I will probably go one of the weekdays, but it's going to be hard to find peace in the pool, seeing that the school holidays have started.

I watched Flaming Lips perform with the Chemical Brothers last night on the MTV Europe Awards, and oh my goodness, they were excellent!! It was easily one of the better performances of the award show. I've always liked the Flaming Lips, but their ability to constantly reinvent themselves, without losing what is essentially Flaming Lip-ness is amazing!

Seeing that it's almost the end of November, I thought I had better start on my Christmas shopping; I'm a last-minute kind of person which is v. bad. I really wanted to get this T-shirt as a present for someone but damn the buggers, they don't ship internationally (the irony!)!! T-shirts are good, but lots of cool shops don't ship internationally, which is a major drag. And the ones that do try and rip you off with ridiculous shipping fees that, incidentally, are higher than the cost of the actual merchandise I was going to get. I'm not that stupid!

Ideas for Christmas pressies, anyone?
