some things make you smile instantly...

...like getting on the bus and hearing "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" on the radio, perhaps THE pinnacle good-times song of the 80's. Ahhh George and Andrew, you WHAM!ed your way into our hearts and never quite left, did you? Even the bus driver was whistling along. I half expected all of us on board to break into song and dance somewhat reminiscent of Club Tropicana, with the girls snapping their fingers and the young Dutch studmuffin students in the background muttering "jitterbug" then ripping off their Diesel jackets to reveal cut-offs and half ripped "CHOOSE LIFE" t-shirts. Ahhhh, those were the days.

And you know what ELSE MAKES YOU SMILE INSTANTLY??? ROBBIE WILLIAMS TICKETS!!!!!!!! Thanks in WHOLE to good friend B, I AM GOING TO SEE ROBBIE WILLIAMS, AMSTERDAM RAI! Standing tickets are ordered, which necessitates that the whole day be taken off work in order to secure a place in line that best puts one in the position of beating off the young, Barbie-esque competitors threatening my front row access to M. Williams, who will for SURE see me in the audience and invite me on stage to dance a la Courtney Cox in Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark video (wow the 80's are alive and kicking on the Blog today). Then of course he will realise I am what has been missing in his life and I will be forced (?) to leave FIP and join him on the road only to be later offered my own ludicrously successful sitcom in which 20-something New Yorkers - OH WAIT, LONDONERS! - live in brightly painted SoHo lofts none of them could ever afford in real life.

HEY IT COULD HAPPEN.

Web-Site Guy is here, must painfully remove myself from the fantasy and go to a meeting.

PostBlog: After hearing word that the tickets were OURS spent the rest of the night literally dreaming of being at the concert. At one point Robbie had a girl on stage and said "Myriah is SO much better at Karaoke" MWAA HA HA HA HA. I woke up and had to laugh...at myself : D
