As Fi Bows to Peer Pressure

1.  Dragostea Din Tei and the Numa Numa Dance

OOOOOHHH!!! SOOOOOO EXCITING!!!!! Dragostea Din Tei is reportedly in the Chicken Little movie, which means I will sooooooo be going to see it. Chickens . . . and crazy Euro summer dance songs . . . I can’t imagine anything more fun!

Ok so Dragostea Din Tei is this FANTASTIC song that I heard when I was in Vienna last year. I loved it there, and when I heard it in a cd shop in Madrid airport I successfully managed to buy a copy of the BEST cd with it on (Technics Summer Sessions 2004).

There is nothing more exciting that this song in a movie. Oooooh . . . of course you’ll all listen to it and go . . . right, she’s nuts, it doesn’t even make any sense (it’s not in finnish, it’s romanian I’ve discovered). But I love it . . . I adore it . . . it’s been my very favourite song for a whole year and a bit which is a long time :oP

Ok so the other funny thing about this song is this crazy American guy does a lip syncing dance of it, called the numa numa dance. This song became a huge hit because of the video he made of himself and his dance. He got on lots of American shows and in newspapers and stuff . . . oh the funniness. There’s lots of parodies of his numa numa dance. For both the original and the parodies go look here. (This is a good place to point out that I almost died laughing watching the original original (ignore the with/without subtitles ones to start with)

2. Did You Know That Your Finger Measurement Ratios Are Important?

You can do a brain sex survey with BBC and it’s very interesting and informative and I learnt a lot. You should do it too.

OH THE EXCITEMENT!

Nothing to do with bubbles actually, but it has always struck me as a particularly good word.

The news is that I’m still sorting out modem issues but hope to have that sorted sometime before August of next year when I will sell my laptop for some rather cheap price (well we’ll see about that anyway).

Currently I borrow mother’s laptop to check email, and so I can receive emails, and even reply occasionally . . . but it’s all on borrowed time since mother uses her laptop a lot to do stuff with dead people.

News, quickly, is that I haven’t got a job, but possibly do . . . nearly . . . soon soon. I have applied to three UK unis to study there next year, having got the results I wanted here, and we’ll see what comes out of that. Whatever happens, I’m going to be paying for it because I didn’t get a scholarship . . . it’s all swings and roundabouts really and since everything seemed to be going rather sweetly I figured something wasn’t going to work out wonderfully. The cost will be approximately NZ $42,000 for studying for a year. Fun fun fun debt!

And with that, I will leave my blog again until something modem-ish is sorted.
