The Labour Party, Gadge and General Geekery

[susie_flo]

Yesterday Rup got prodded by the doctor, who declared that his head is not engaged yet... so I guess he's not planning on popping out drastically early.   Personally I think promptness is a much underrated characteristic and will be most impressed if he arrives exactly on his due date with minimum fuss, around time for tea.   (That would be 13 days from now.)
 
In the meantime, G is approaching our countdown with all of the geeky manthusiasm that I have come to expect.   This has manifested in two ways this week...

 

First of all, he's made me a Spotify playlist entitled The Labour Party   ...you can see where this is going, no?   (People without Spotify can see the current track listing here).   Anyone care to add any song suggestions?

  

Secondly, he has decided that babies are nothing if not an excuse for yet more household gadge.  Hence Uncle Amazon has sent us a hi-tech baby surveillance monitor that comes with a little stand-alone camera and a hand-held screen for viewing what's going on from your armchair... or via Skype if preferred.  It also lets you switch on lullabies and a night light from afar...   or talk to the baby  (yanno, to order him back to sleep).  

 
So...  all being well, I'm getting a massage later on and then going out for dinner this evening.   (Hoorah for my life of temporary leisure!)

Now I am going to tootle off and add Salt n Pepa's 'Push it' to the playlist...

This was the US No.1 the week I was born!

Christ I'm old.

That song has totally disturbed me... (though it might have been less icky if I didn't get to watch him singing and imagine it was indeed his baby...)

Masseuse will arrive in about 15 mins.

That list has made me chortle - I wonder if anyone has ever written a song called 'gas and air', for some reason it's also making me thinking 'Milk and Alcohol' would be the song most likely not to be picked by the NCT mafia ;-)

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Heh..

Actually there must be a song out there about gas and air... or at least Pethidine. (Goes to look)

EDIT: I just found one called Part 3 - Gas and Air (but it turned out to be the worst kind of experimental-sounding jazz, so I refrained)

his head is not engaged yet

I feel that all the time.

"Get me out" New Model Army
"Hit me baby one more time" Britney Spears
Umm.. the title music to "Born Free"?

[the-meanest-cat.livejournal.com]

Heh... (born free)

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

"New Born" by Muse.
"The Birth of the Blues" by various artists.
"Through the barricades" by Spandau Ballet.

'Through the barricades' has caused communal wincing in our house!

[moral-vacuum.livejournal.com]

So I assume you won't also be adding "Break on through" by The Doors?

Wince-inducing but tempting...
