Cut Copy Death Cutie Remix
Thankfully after a titanic shitter of a morning i stumbled across this remix from Cut Copy. Lift me out of the gloom guys… go on.
Death Cab for Cutie - Doors Unlocked And Open [Cut Copy Remix] by Death Cab for Cutie
13 weeks are up
It ends in style....
…and breathe.
Contrary to what my best mate Phil says i’ll do, there will be no emotional send off, no tearful sentiments and no warm nostalgic glances back at my time with Syra. You too then can breathe.
That’s not to say there aren’t any, for me it was the best 3 months i have had since weaving my way up the East coast of Australia when i was 23.
What I will say is this though, that for any man thinking that staying at home like a make-shift housewife looking after a baby/toddler is easy, then picture this scenario in your workplace.
You’ve organised a meeting with 20 well respected colleagues within the company, and have told them you have a powerpoint presentation that they will be interested in seeing and it should last 30 minutes, and you’ve promised lunch.
Dressed in a clown suit with one hand tied behind your back, you unpack your briefcase/work bag and pack it full of strange things you’re not sure how to use. Before the meeting and still in a clown suit and one hand behind your back, you make sandwiches for the spread. Now to the meeting, you’ve left your laptop at home, your sandwiches were a flop, (strewn mostly over the floor) and you now have 30 minutes to kill. A presentation. Dignity in tatters, feeling the pressure, nervous, unprepared, time is ticking, the only thing that enters your head are the words to the song, “The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round.”
Welcome to life on the other side. Dads you should try it sometime.

At 2: Syra loves a bit of Evan Dando
- Oh the Grand Old Duke of York - not got the official CD for this one but was first published in 1642 – it’s a winner in 2010.
- Evan Dando: All My Life - loves it. Legs pump, arms flap. We have lift off.
- Daft Punk: Robot Rock – watch the video and see why.
- Where is Monkey Hiding: Monkey Music CD. This song better leave my head soon or i’ll be admitted into a centre for the clinically insane. I even do the actions on a day to day basis. I’m not proud…
- Bad Moon Rising - 1969 song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, sung by her Granddad on his guitar on a monthly basis in 2010. But way too”happy clappy” for my liking.
Captain’s Christmas Log….
Larkin Junior's condition is worsening....
Captain’s Log, stardate 2010, the Larkin enterprise remains stranded in orbit. I have observed a decline in Junior Larkin’s state of mind, her behaviour deteriorating following a deluge of arctic snow. We have been trapped inside an infinite core of boredom for 7 days now.
Captain’s supplemental log:
Neural networks have been compromised, condition worsening, forced to retrieve Christmas presents from hidden Asteroid Belt in the hope of bringing sanity to the enterprise once more.
Caterpilla tunnel has temporarily restored the main systems.
Now holding position pending the arrival of Admiral Santa from North Polar belt.
