you're so lucky!!!

i've been glued to K-Lite for the past 5 days trying to win the Sight & Sound Spectacular Series 12 to Hong Kong featuring Franz Ferdinand. So finally, after all those plugs, the promo starts today.

i plug in my earphones in the jeep a little before 7:00 AM and listen while they blab about their morning brew playlist, sending songs to manny pacquiao. they were giving also giving away a franz ferdinand CD to a random texter/voter. at the last minute, i decide to vote for the hell of it (nevermind that i already own the CD they're giving away and that i didn't even think about what song i voted, which incidentally is the crappier one. "vindicated" by dashboard confessional over "pride" by U2? what the hell was i thinking.) in any case, i won. i won the CD that i already spend 450 bucks for. 5 minutes after i text, and around 20 minutes before the coveted raffle entry to the sight & sound spectacular. i can't help but think that my luck has run out for the day.

later they announced that they were looking for caller #7 who could tell them what F word means "an abnormally absurd obsession or fixation." Fetish, that's what it is. I have a fetish for bad teeth. and for pale, tall, lanky rockstars like billy corgan and alex kapranos. Alex is in fact the first rockstar whose looks has enthralled me as intensely as billy corgan. But I was caller #5. i couldn't get through again! dammit. fuckers.

hmph. maybe i should start a novena. it's funny how being this close to the opportunity makes me think i should just spend for the trip and concert. after all, if k-lite can arrange it, i can do that too. several people have suggested it to me. but it seems so frivolous. i've never spent this much for any band. not even when the smashing pumpkins were in thailand.

well anyway, i'm going to k-lite today to claim my prize after i deliver a gift to their big boss at the neighboring station. Wonder what i'll do with the second CD? i just might grovel at nigel to goddammit, slip my name into the tambiolo. but not before i try again to win a raffle entry during midday MLA.
