I have a list which sits on my desk at work to which I add any flashes of inspiration - an ideal karaoke song list.

This all comes after I went to Sydney over the Easter weekend and experienced my first genuine karaoke experience. 'Genuine' in that it was in a private room at Karaoke World on Elizabeth St, with an imposing song selection.

All that Johnny Young Talent School training and years of invisible-mike-singing actually came in useful! My sometimes-frustrating, often-terrifying memory for tonal inflections and useless lyrics proved itself worthwhile. And I *owned* Pat Benatar.

Luke is terribly bummed that he missed out on my debut. We'll probably be heading to Sydney in June for my birthday so that we can do it all again with the crew.
