Unscathed..
…managed 3 days in close proximity with immediate family during a “joyous” festive season and basically escaped unscathed.
I suspect my family is more eccentric and dysfunctional than most out there (IMO, anyway). The festive season was not without its usual eccentricities - dilly-dallying, shuffling around, uncalled for jabbing, impatient grunts, snorts, aimless running around like headless chickens, scuffling for the sofa space with strange relatives, and brawling with the nephews for precious time with the television (feed me, water me, give me the remote and i will be contented) … we even managed to miff the in-laws… but it all ended well.
Best of all, I gifted myself a Tears For Fears album - Tears Roll Down, Greatest Hits 82-92. I got it for a deal at RM59 instead of the usual RM85.
It came with 2CDs and a music video DVD - it was fun being reminded what we used to think was hip and trendy for hairstyle and clothes. Best of all, listening once more to my favourite tunes and properly reading the lyrics.
I havent been following their news and later albums even tho had always enjoyed their music. And now looking through their website, I gotta say they look much hotter now that they are older… Roland has maintained his curly tresses, and Curt opted to keep his clean cut look.
The sad sad thing is that they had actually released more albums but I dont believe I have seen any of them at shops in Malaysia….
“Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.”
I would love to get my hands on that latest from this British band.
