Song for Tim

So hear we go - humour is the order of the day. But so too is love. And so I thought I'd share with you this song that I wrote for my housemate Tim a couple of months back when I saw him studying in level three of the library as I was on my way to the toilet. It was such a pleasant surprise that I almost fell over the cleaner's bin. For those of you not in the know, it's based on a song entitled 'Beautiful Girl', by 'Flight of the Conchords'. Enjoy...

Looking round house,
I can tell that you
Are the most intelligent guy in the... downstairs bedroom.
In the downstairs bedroom.
Oooh.

And when you're in the lounge,
If Karen's not around,
I bet you are definitely in the top three
Bestest of mates in the lounge
(If there's no Soph)

And when I saw you in the library
I thought what...is...he...doing...
On Level 3
How did we get a genius like that to a library like this -
Good one Bath!!!
Ohhhh what a uni, Bath!

I asked the librarian if she's going to make a move on you,
She's not sure,
I said "lady do you mind if I do?".
She says she doesn't mind
but I can tell she kinda minds
but I'm gonna do it anyway.

I see you sitting all alone sitting in silent mode
I dim the noise down very low, here we go
You're so intelligent
You could be a historian
You're so intelligent
You could be a physicist in the US
You're so intelligent
You could be a part...time...economist

And then to seal the deal
I do my maths,
I do my A-level maths

It's twelve oh two
Just me and you
And seven other dudes
Around you in the silent study

I draw you near
Let's get outta here.
Let's get on Al's scooter
I'll move the wireless router!

Now I can't believe
That I'm sharing my internet with the most intelligent guy I have ever seen
With a router
Ooooooohhh.

Why don't we leave?
Let's go to my house and we can foos each other up on the table
Oh no. I don't mind taking it slow-ho-ho, no-ho-ho, yeah (10-1).

Cause you're so intelligent
Like a TV
Or a high-class dolphin
You're so intelligent
Mmm, you could be a part-time economist.

But you'd probably have to keep your auditing job -
A part-time economist!
Spending part of your time, modelling (econometrics),
and part of your time, next to meeeeeeeeee!

My kitchen is usually tidier than this...

Hello 2009

Not bad so far. Already gone for a jog and 20 (yes, twenty) push-ups, not to mention 20 (yes, again, twenty) sit-up-like things. 2009 is the year I get fit.

The plan is for a mental/physical/spiritual/emotional work out every morning.

Do a bit of Sudoku, a jog, do some praying and read a bit of the Bible, then maybe watch some Hollyoaks and experience a whole range of emotions (apathy, anger, bewilderment, disgust, indifference, amusement, despair, happiness (when it finishes)). Whether I can manage to do them all simultaneously is a big challenge but I'm willing to give it a go.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to blog about some more upbeat things as well as all the lovely deep stuff I've previously talked about. Don't worry, however - even though you may think from the beginning of this post that I'm going to go all "Today I ate a cheesy toastie - it was nice. Then I watched a DVD." on you, I won't; it will still be high-quality content.

Happy New Year to you, one and all.
