Kebayoran Baru - Saturday

Heard car alarm in the middle of the night. Other than that, sleep through. Up at 7.30am. Read in bed. Pleasure to do nothing. No work, no lecture, no study. Will rest today.

  • The Go-Betweens - The Wrong Road ("If you want to live here, learn the language.")
  • The Reels - Forever Now (lounge version of Chiz classic)
  • The Heavy Blinkers - Say There Honey (what principles of selection are at work, my iPod friend? This is the 3rd or 4th time this one has been randomed. Not that I mind.)
  • This Heat - S.P.Q.R.
  • Junior Boys - When I'm Not Around (listen to this one, Tallulah, for an example of a beautiful and understated sax solo. As well as some great humming as the song fades.)
  • The Go-Betweens - The Clarke Sisters ("They had problems with their father's law/They sleep in the back of a feminist bookstore, the Clarke sisters" - Arise, Sir Robert, for your services to literate pop).
Day spent reading a graphic novel of Coraline, had an afternoon nap (proof, if needed, of how tired I am), and watched a bit of TV. Mum and dad called, updating me on the great Australian heat. Dianita and Arief busy today (work, study), but also keen to take me places. Advise them to relax, that besok (tomorrow) we can do something. In bed by 8pm.
