MOOD COURT 
Left To My Own Devices I get out of bed at half past ten Phone up a friend, who's a party animal Turn on the news and drink some tea Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping One day I'll read, or learn to drive a car If you pass the test, you can beat the rest But I don't like to compete, or talk street, street, street I can pick up the best from the party animal I could leave you, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would Pick up a brochure about the sun Learn to ignore what the photographer saw I was always told that you should join a club Stick with the gang, if you want to belong I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy In a world of my own at the back of the garden I didn't want to compete, or play out on the street For in a secret life I was a round head general I could leave you, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would Oh, I would I was faced with a choice at a difficult age Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage? But in the back of my head I heard distant feet Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat It's not a crime when you look the way you do The way I like to picture you When I get home, it's late at night I pour a drink and watch the fight Turn off the TV, look at a book Pick up the phone, fix some food Maybe I'll sit up all night and day Waiting for the minute I hear you say I could leave you, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Come on, baby, say goodbye I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would Out of bed, at half past ten The party animal phones a friend Picks up news about the sun And the working day has just begun Sticks with the gang - at the back of the street Pass the test - and you don't compete Drive the car, if you're with me Che Guevara's drinking tea He reads about a new device And takes to the stage in a secret life (Us) Left to my own devices, I probably would If I was left to my own devices, I possibly would If I was left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would I could leave you, say goodbye Or I could love you, if I try And I could And left to my own devices, I probably would Left to my own devices, I probably would Come on, baby Left to my own devices, I probably would - Pet Shop Boys 6:39:51 PM  sro home /

HOW TO NOT CHANGE SOMETHING ON YOUR WEBSITE 1. Read the directions once. After all, years of doing recreational drugs in the past have probably had little effect on you and your memory. Besides, They clearly state how easy and quick the whole thing is, so why worry? 2. Go to your site. 3. Forget everything, including what you were going to change. 4. Go back to the instructions, this time paying close attention to the pages they mention. Remember Key Phrases - Template, Comments, Template, Comments. Read some messages other users have left which reiterate how simple the whole process is. 5. Return to your site, keeping the Key Phrases in mind. Discover your Site seems to be written in some foreign language - maybe Swahili, Martian, maybe some dialect only John Edwards understands. 6. Copy the correct Code somewhere on your template. 7. Realize why it's called "Code". Nuns working undercover around the clock in the Himalayas have not broken Code, so what chance in Hell do you have? 8. Panic. 9. Check your Homepage to see if anything has happened. Discover strange symbols have randomly appeared around the Page, some of them possibly being interpretated as Secret Symbols to the Taliban. 10. Return to the Template and try the "Stare and Click" approach. Stare at the page, Click back to your Homepage, Click back to the Template, Stare at it again. Repeat as neccessary. 11. Begin randomly moving information around, figuring it's just been some clerical error and a small adjustment is all that's needed. 12. Discover you may have deleted most of your site. Now is the time to Really Panic. 13. As a total last resort, ask for Help. E-mail anyone you think may be On-Line while trying to sound Calm and Collected despite Chain Smoking and leaving your room looking like a Fog Scene from Lord of the Rings. Leave a message for Help on the "User's Forum". 14. Return to your Site and have a Moment. Remember when your site was cool looking? Remember when you had it just the way you wanted, nifty graphics and smart colors? Remember when time stood still and the world was happy? Do you, Hugh? Do you really? 15. Check back at the User's Forum. See a Reply from the Webmaster saying all you need to do is move one little thing. Squint closely and see the word "Loser" hovering over the type. 16. Return to your Site and fix the little problem, slightly concerned that such a Small Thing has brought you such Unnatural Joy.
17. Look for something else to change. |

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY Sorry about the lack of comments right now. I'm trying to change my comments link to HaloScan (since the other one sucked) and am having some trouble figuring things out. I will hopefully have the new comment link working sometime today and while I will have lost the old comments (though I read them all) the new link will work better - cause it sure as hell couldn't be worse.
Thanks for your patience and we will soon resume our regularly scheduled, uh, rambling. |
