Dr Jeckyll & Mr Hyde.../CD shopping spree!!!!

Here's my brain in Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde mode :

Dr Jeckyll : Been busy lately.
Mr Hyde : Lame excuse!
Dr Jeckyll : Really!
Mr Hyde : Yeah, rite!
Dr Jeckyll : No time to blog la...
Mr Hyde : But you have time searching for XXX stuffs online???
Dr Jeckyll : Where got??? (*fakes surprised look*)

Mr Hyde : You're just a lazy slob....

Well, sometimes my brain does that to me. When it's switched to automatic gear, both gentlemen will come out at once and create havoc to poor me :(

Sometimes i just do not find any mood to blog. Maybe i'm not a natural when in comes to writing. I have things that i wanted to write in my blog daily but somehow when it comes to the actually writing - most of the time i'll be stuck in front of my laptop. Sigh... blogging is not as easy as it seems to be....

New year resolution #1 (Mr Hyde - What? It's only mid- Nov!!!) : Gonna make blogging a habit. It gets easier with practise.

*mind's talking : gotta blog... gotta blog... gotta blog*

Blogging aside.... I've been bad this month. It's only the 18th of the month and the month's CDs damage so far - 4!!! Jeez, I gotta stop buying so many CDs... It doesn't help that I only buy originals. It's eating into my monthly budget all the time. Can't help it - i just need to buy those CDs!!!!

*mind's talking : gotta have self-control... gotta have self-control... no more CDs till Dec... no more CDs till Dec...*

First purchase of the month - The Twelve Inches of Bananarama.
It's the most expensive of the lot - bought it off the net cos it will take the stupid recording label in Malaysia forever to bring it in. Or worse, sometimes, some titles may not even see the daylight on Malaysian shore. Now now, the title may sound obscene (well, it's got 12" and banana - LOL). It's actually a collection of extended versions and remixes of Bananarama's from the 80's and 90's. The damage - almost RM60 (8 pounds ++). Still consider them one of my favourite. In fact, their's was the first album that i ever bought - their Greatest Hits Collection on cassette when i was 11. I just love them!

Second damage - Jamiroquai's High Times : Singles 1992-2006.
Don't really like Jay Kay's personality and his image but some of his songs are really cool and a class of it's own - Jazz-funk. Didn't want to buy full-set albums of his thus I've been waiting for this collection for ages!

Third damage - George Michael Twenty Five.
Another greatest hits of sort CD from the gay one. No idea why I bought since I have the Best-of album released almost 5-6 years back chucked somewhere in my CD shelf. Well, this collection's not really that extensive - some of his best stuffs (and my favourite) are NOT included - Hard Day, I Want Your Sex, Star People, I Knew You Were Waiting For Me, etc. Well, can't complaint much though as this collection includes stuffs released after the first Best-of collection was released + a few songs from his Wham! days.

Final damage for Nov'06 (I hope!) - Wicked - Original Broadway Cast Recording.
I actually had this CD two years back. Somehow or rather I think I misplaced it or lost it - can't seem to find it anywhere. Bought it then after I saw it at the televised Tony Awards. I was sooo smitten by it. It's actually the prequel to The Wizard of Oz - a broadway theatre adaptation of the book. I just wish they will bring this to Malaysian theatre - sigh.... I saw this when I went to buy George Michael's yesterday. Thus, another damage (*bank account's sobbing*).

Well...hope no more damage till December.
(Mr Hyde : Heh, i don't think so....)
(Dr Jekyll : Shut up Hyde....)
