As well as being a comedian and a songwriter, Bill Oddie is one of Britain's best known bird watchers.

Yes, I put my pointless two cents in. Need something to do during Idol commercial breaks, sad case that I am.

On the other hand, I don't want this darling alternative flower to have to sing an awful song like Angels Bought Me Here, so perhaps she SHOULD lose.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:29 (twenty-one years ago)

is she HOT edward?

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Not really.

what this show really needs is Simon Cowell.

Are you offering yourself for the position?

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I could do it. Ahem. "That was amazing. Amazingly bad."

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I hate Marcia. If I weren't a bit tone deaf I would be a great judge. I know what makes pop good.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i think we should set it up at....marrickville rsl!

― gaz (gaz), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:48 (twenty-one years ago)

yay!!!

Hows about when Marcia and that Mark Walton said the Portishead song was 'an unusual choice'. Grrrr.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, it was, really. But it's the first proof that they actually get to pick their own song. I had always assumed that there was a "master list" of about 100-200 songs.

I mean who really likes "Angels" anyway in this country? It was released like four times and never made the top 40 and yet someone thinks it's worth picking!

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:56 (twenty-one years ago)

true enough.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Sunday, 8 August 2004 08:57 (twenty-one years ago)

chanel is fucking hot as, i won't hear a word against her, even if she is a bjork fan

― purple patch (electricsound), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:02 (twenty-one years ago)

You mean that doesn't increase the appeal?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:03 (twenty-one years ago)

no. but in a few weeks she will be every indie boy's (and probably quite a few girls) guilty pop crush

― purple patch (electricsound), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

if she isn't already.

― purple patch (electricsound), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Chanel is cute. I am identifying embarassingly with Ben. He's a goofy nerd. Like me. "Freedom" is my favourite pop single of all time. Won't vote for him though. I actually voted for Chanel making it my first actual vote on one of these shoes evah.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 8 August 2004 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe you're all watching Idol. I'm disappointed in all of you!

PS why the fuck does it say something like "and the Osama lama" under that Goodies drawing!?

Oh dont mind me, I'm in a funny mood. Last night there was a fascinating show on architecture on ABC and they touched on modernist Aust stuff, and I was struck by how beautiful a lot of Canberras buildings are. And also struck by how, in effect, I grew up in a giant leafy modern artwork, and it totally never ocurred to me to think of it as special.

I'm now homesick, and I feel very odd.

- big M scented hoola hoops
- "B" sized batteries
- those iceblooks that had spooky pics on them that only showed when you warmed up the wrapper
- SUNNYBOYS (Tripod were singing about them the other night, hah)(I mean the iceblock not the band)

And so on, in that fashion.

Talk shit. Use phrases like "grow the brand" and "ebitda" and "financial outgoings" a lot. Wave your hands around heaps. Talk fast so everyone just zones out and doesnt notice anything.

All I know about my job is that there are biscuits in the stationery cupboard.

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

your stationery cupboard sounds heaps better than ours, it has some purple highlighters and postits that are so old they don't stick anymore. sometimes there are teabags, not very often though. NEVER any bikkies! bloody public service. my ambition is to get a job with a neverending supply of monte carlos in the tea room.

Also: when someone moves your cheese, you need to find new cheese somewhere else. Never, ever, ask who moved your cheese.

hey gem I'm in the public disservice too.

Oh ferfuckssake do they pull that wheres the cheese bulltwang speech in EVERY company? Its the stupidest analogy ever. You must chase the cheese (implied: because we're gonna keep taking it off you! Ahahaha!)

I have now given myself a horror vision of Peter Russel Clarke as my manager. AAAAAAAAAAAGH *tears eyes out*

g'day!

― Peter Russell-Clarke (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:51 (twenty-one years ago)

ahahahaaaaaa whatever happened to him anyway? has he gone to some kind of retirement home for full-face beards?

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

apparently he mainly does cooking demonstrations for private companies and suchlike

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:55 (twenty-one years ago)

and writes cookbooks

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:55 (twenty-one years ago)

cooking demonstrations for private cooking companies?

no, gas and fuel

Damn! My cheese magically vanished. Oh well, I am but a humble mouse. Unable to see beyond my maze, I have no conception of forces beyond it which may or may not be responsible for moving the cheese. All I can do is run around my maze writing self-help slogans on the wall.

You know what? I'm an ex-psychologist. I diagnose the author of that book as having a narcissistic personality. What's worse, his condition is endorsed as a management tool. And he is a management tool;. Oh yeah, and he can't write for shit.

A manager has been reading it - probably the first metaphor using book he's read since school - and I asked if I could borrow it - I was going to 'accidentally' lose it, haha! He mentioned the cheese metaphor, and what a good metaphor it was; I replied that yes, I like a bit of cheese myself! He said, yes yes, it's a metaphor for change management, and I replied, have you tried any of those strong French cheeses??

Anyway, I know where the cheese is. It's in author Spencer Johnson's brain. It's mozzarella, and it fills his skull completely.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 02:59 (twenty-one years ago)

the trick is to hide the cheese, for example inside a tuna and cheese sandwich.

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Or cut it. Thus sending everyone else running away, so you get the office to yourself. Winner!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 03:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Or become a big cheese yourself. Then people just move you around.

i'm on the work broadband and it told me 12 min too

its 21 mb. its worth it! honest!

― gaz (gaz), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 02:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Its 21 mb but whatever server it is hosted on is only running at about 60k/s which isnt that great - i should be able to dload it in 20 seconds or so (I'm on a gigabit ethernet backbone... nyahh) but it said it would take 6 minutes or so for me too.

I am jealous! Ever since Tim suggested I buy the one EP that was out I have enjoyed them. Is there an album now?

Mole -- they're Avalanches proteges of sorts, I gather.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

it's quite gentle, pretty female-fronted stuff, maybe imagine saint etienne trying to "do" portishead? but with a little more of an indiepop bent.

― purple patch (electricsound), Thursday, 12 August 2004 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

the album is a few weeks away. judging by the new songs it will be a cracker, up there with the cut copy album..

― purple patch (electricsound), Thursday, 12 August 2004 01:03 (twenty-one years ago)

what's with all these "people who are dicks" topics? doesn't seem like cricket

Well it would be cricket if they were talking about umpire Dick Bird. But yes, I see your point.

Thanks for the info Ned and jim.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 12 August 2004 01:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I hope New Buffalo haven't changed directions too much (one gets the feeling that The Avalanches approahc is very "out" right now), i'd love a whole album in the vein of the EP.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, that would be nice. I think once I finish listening to this bemusing disc I received today (from an ILXor!), I shall listen to that EP -- and thank you again for suggesting it!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 03:22 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a lot less use of samples in the live stuff, but that's not to say the record will be that way. the songwriting has gotten stronger.

They are the loveliest people on earth, I have met them. And yes, they are trying to be a manga ICP, but with a bit of Motley Crue thrown in too. And Alice Cooper of course.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 12 August 2004 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Fair enough. I'm very puzzled at this sudden surge in all my goth friends of frenzied love for Alice Cooper, Crue, Gunners, the Misfits, Poison, etc etc. I swear to god these girls never mentioned metuhl 2 years ago, but mysteriously, when all those "ironic" metal tees and big hair and studded belt Dangerfield style outfits appeared, all of a sudden its away with the black, and in with the hot pink and stripes and brand new KISS tshirt.

It kinda weirds me out. Dunno why. I'm sounding like Alex in NYC now arent I? haha.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 13 August 2004 00:01 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha yes. I even see a guy in Sydney from time to time with long blond hair, denim jeans, leather jacket, headband - he looks exactly like Axl Rose circa 1990. He's just this guy, you know, walking around the streets. I have never seen anything like it, not even in 1990. He belongs in LA.

OMG Col that sounds like the ex of this girl I know called Deb. What was that guys name she was with? Ahh cant remember. Anyway he had that Axl look, he did. Not in a bogany way - in a rokstah way. Always wondered why a v attractive goth girly was dating an Axl-a-like. Shes not with him now tho, mind.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 13 August 2004 01:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Because he was a spunk! That's a good enuff reason intit?

Hey Eisbar, glad you like it!!! I'm jealous, my dad sold my vinyl a year ago at a Bondi fete for a dollar each. All the albums and singles went. Bye bye John Foxx.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 13 August 2004 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm Trayce there's no chance it could be the same guy?? Cos he's been spotted at goth haunts in Syd.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 13 August 2004 02:13 (twenty-one years ago)

If thats the case then yeah, I bet any money it is him. Did you ever see him maybe 2-3 years ago with a petite v attractive goth girly with one arm?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 13 August 2004 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

(god that sounds like the setup for some bad joke, heh)

Do you think he'd be offended?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 13 August 2004 03:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah he'd be thinking "whos this beeyotch and how's she know Deb?"

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 13 August 2004 03:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Is he in a band? Like, if he's not the singer in a band, then the whole package is incomplete in my view.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 13 August 2004 03:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I... dont know! I'll have to ask my friend Dom. He knows this guy, see. Its a complicated web of six degrees gothiness and roleplaying horror, with a little Gunnners mixed in.

Sydney I can understand, but it amazes me how many Melbournians have never seen snow. We live a two hour drive from snow ffs.

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 16 August 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

There's your problem right there. Everyone in Melbourne is catching trams to Brunswick Street or the CDB to check out their city's excellent nightlife, or to buy locally produced art from their friends' shops, or drink Melbourne's superior coffee and moan about how crap Sydney is. Who has time to drive out into the snow?

Bah you wussbags Melbourne is not COLD. Try a winter that never goes above 10 degrees in the day and is well below zero most nights, making the pipes freeze so you get no shower in the morning and have to leave the heater on all night and get huge gas bills. And no real snow to speak of, just loads of frost.

So how was eveeryones weekend? Me, I played drunken Scene It! and Pictionary with Nick, Dom and B, and we were up til 5am like bad little vegemites, and I spent all y'day asleep and/or zombified as a result... getting too old for this, etc.

Local theatre groups put on excellent productions. Once you carve your way through the hordes of grannies who answer aloud any question an actor asks herself/himself, there's some hugely rewarding stuff to see.

No really, they do.

Actor: But... what have I done? Should I run to him and beg forgiveness?

Don't be a doctor, they are cruel
And social work is for a fool
Become a dealer, if you can

Not I, good sir!

But that reminds me. I am possibly/probably going to Pause after work, is anyone interested?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Or should I say:

Come to Pause, with a few bucks,
Come by train or tram or truck,
I'll be there with any luck!
And if you pike then you can get
lost.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:08 (twenty-one years ago)

My son, I have tried meditation
Exercise, and emigration
There was nothing I didn’t try
Yet none of these could get me high

Like my old friend the dealer could
Just find a dealer, son, you should!
There’s always someone here or there
To soothe you with illegal fare

I do not like it, Phiz I is,
I do not like this E's and wizz!
I will not have it on a plane
Or in a club, or down a drain
I will not eat it with a spoon
These E's and wizz, they are for goons.

Now where the fuck's me ganja?

Why lionise our sporting stars?
Did any shoot us to the stars?
Did Thorpie, Dawn or Donald Bradman
Make us feel so high and glad, man?

And did our stateman - Lyons and Menzies
Drive us into Dionysian frenzies?
No, not at all, that accolade
Is sole preserve of the man we paid

To get us high; and so I pray
There there be a holiday!
On Dealers Day, we'll gather round
And to each dealer, give thanks profound

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Argh no Pause tonight, I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired.

That sounds like the worst cop-out.

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:52 (twenty-one years ago)

And why stop there? We could have prayer!
For is sincerity not rare
When people come to pray at church
To God, who left them in the lurch?

A dealer on the other hand
Will always give a helping hand
And that is why, as sure is sure
You'll find a dealer around the poor

In every church, on bended knees
Pray to the dealer, if you please!
For unlike God, he has the wares
That are the answer to our prayers

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 05:52 (twenty-one years ago)

And that is why, sheepfuxor friends
My praise of dealers will not end;
And though you all have clearly gone
My witless rhyming carries on.

Now tell me, what should I listen to on the way to work. Spacemen 3's Translucent Flashbacks (it is raining) or something lievelier?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

So did I! I saw that clip where they're standing on the cliff face being all '80s cock rock, and thought it was some sketch comedy show.

Isn't The Darkness supposed to be nu-goth or something?

rubbish argument. does the world actually need more of any style of music?

Oh hey when Nick said they were a joke he didnt mean "god theyre a joke", he meant he thought they were doing a comedy thing, like Spinal Tap. He was baffled as to why anyone'd want to make such histronic, operatic glam metal music these days. I can see his point, but dont agree really - though I dont care for their music myself, in the same way I dont much care for Queen or Slade even though I can see why other people do.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I think they walk the line, don't they? Like Laibach or Judas Priest -right in that zone between totally serious and totally ridiculous. I myself love that zone.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:42 (twenty-one years ago)

although Laibach and Judas P never had the nostalgia thing. I mean, i love that zone too...but i think the nostalgia schtick defeats it.

Thats a good way of looking at it. I'd tentatively put TISM in such a category as well - I know theyre a right pisstake but musically they seem pretty serious (ahaha... I made a funny.)

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 00:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Heh. Yeah, for all its insistence to the contrary, TISM's very serious about its music. Somewhere there's an interview with Humphrey [the only candid TISM interview in existence I think] which says as much.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 22:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Long story, but a tram went the wrong way and everyone had to get off and catch the next one. When I tried to tell the next driver what was going on, he SCREAMED at me. 'GET BEHIND THE LINE GET BEHIND THE LINE.' Never mind that I'd been on the tram a whole two seconds; you can't GET behind the line in that time, and even when I WAS behind the line, he still kept yelling 'GET BEHIND THE LINE GET BEHIND THE LINE' at me. I got the shits and made a crack about his attitude, and he kept ranting like a mental while I went to the back of the tram. Obv he was just having a bad day, but that's no way to treat a passenger who's just trying to be helpful.

Anyway, pretty much the whole carriage was laughing at him, tosser. I think he yelled at a few more passengers after that.

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 22:41 (twenty-one years ago)

He may well have taken that tram on a rampage. Along the usual route.

i thought gumbys were inspectors?

― purple patch (electricsound), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Ach, sorry. Conductor. What they used to have on trams to collect your fare - some would walk up n down the tram with a little leather cash baggie handing out tickets, and some had a sort of booth thing in the centre of the tram that they sat in and you went up to to buy your ticket. It was great, you could buy a ticket even if you didnt have coins/change, and they could check everyone so people didnt scam free rides.

Then they fired them all and installed these stupid automatic ticket scanning machines and a coin operated ticket dispensing jobbie on each tram, so of course 50% of the people who get on dont buy a ticket, and no one can when the machines are broken, and M-Tram are losing money by the bucketload and gee, I wonder why.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

i wonder what happened to the red faced hilarious 40something russian guy...

― gaz (gaz), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, and now, to combat all the people getting free rides because they can, they've employed a million inspectors to check that people aren't stealing rides.

So, in order to cut the tremendous cost of employing tram conductors, they were replaced with a $9342857394857934 ticketing system that doesn't work, PLUS 2389748234 new inspectors to cover holes in the new ticketing system that doesn't work. Meanwhile, all the old conductors lost their jobs and died on the streets or something.

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Darn tootin. I dont buy tickets half the time, sod them. Mind you I got fined the other week. Still, I reckon Ive saved more than $100 in fares anyway.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I buy tickets because, well, they're taking me places. Not that the machines actually work half the time.

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh I buy tickets most of the time - but this whole having to have change, and lots of it, shits me. Theres nowhere near me to easily buy a ticket from a shop on the way to the tram, and yeah half the time the machine is busted.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Same. The whole thing's just fucked.

Last year I had a massive argument with the Metcard people. I bought a monthly ticket [$85-odd] that didn't print the date on the card due to a faulty machine, so I called and asked if I could get fined because the date's not on there, and they said 'yes.' So, I sent it in for a replacement, and had to spend MORE money on tickets to cover myself in the interim; the Metcard office in the city wouldn't do it on the spot, and told me to post it to that office. Yes, the very same office I was standing in.

Anyway, a few days later Metcard sent me three weekly tickets as a replacement. That's 21 days. The faulty ticket I sent them had 26 days left on it. They ripped me off five days.

I called and asked for my full amount back please. The bloke on the other end tried to tell me I was only entitled to 21 days, because weekend travel is considered free. No, I'm not joking. That's exactly what he said. He even asked me how many days I would have travelled, and tried to argue that I wouldn't have used all 26 days anyway. After many, many demands and threats of taking it to a higher body, they reimbursed me properly.

All this because THEIR machine was faulty. Fucking unbelievable.

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I should have got the 'weekends are considered free' bit in writing, so I'd have a lifetime of free weekend travel as endorsed by a Metcard official.

OMG Adam you should have written to the Age or something about that - thats fucked! So let me get their logic right: if we give you a monthly, the weekends dont count cos hey, who travels on a tram on weekends? oh but if you *do* get on a tram on the weekend you better pay for it.

I have a friend who took to court (and won) against the Met for a ticketing issue, so he'd be very interested in your story.

Mozilla, frankly, isnt that much better than IE - it crashes a lot under win98, I dont much care for tabbed browsing, and there are some things it seems to have trouble supporting... also its GUI is a bit funny-lookin.

Still, it *is* better than IE. Thats like saying Lathams bettr than Howard though, so .. yeah.

meh. So over everything ARGHH. Sorry if I seem bitchy.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 August 2004 01:15 (twenty-one years ago)

firefox is ok but when you consider many sites are far from optimised for it, it hardly feels like any real improvement. in fact the only thing i genuinely like about it is the tabs.

Once I did bar work at a Desperate & Dateless Ball, and within 10 minutes of people arriving and summarily dumping their matches, women were swarming the bar asking us for a date. Two hours and much beer later, dozens of them were approaching us for 'a fuck.' If we could have obliged, we wouldn't have bothered because they were all dogs.
At a party in the early '90s, a hitherto straight guy got very drunk, pressed me up against a wall, said 'I'm not going to kiss you now,' and gave me the most passionate kiss you could imagine. Then he said 'I'm not going to fuck you now.' I ran.

Once at a party in a park in the middle of nowhere, a woman who looked like a Romanian shotputter sat next to me on a backless bench and started tickling my knob. Without thinking, I thrust out my arm and pushed her back, and she landed on her head. Everyone saw her fall, but they didn't know why, and she didn't tell them.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 August 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Agh not good.

Spewing from allergies? What allergies make one spew?

― Dirty Muriel (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 19 August 2004 23:30 (twenty-one years ago)

More like an intolerance I guess... if I overdo spicey food and wine with preservatives in I seem to get rather sick. Like glandular but with spewing and bad sinuses... its weird.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 August 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh and you did that last night?

Man I'd have to have an allergy like that. Wine and spicy food is my life.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 19 August 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

er, hate

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 19 August 2004 23:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah I cant really touch chilli at all, not that I was ever a fan of v spicy food but I do like curries :( And wine! Not fair. Im technically meant to avoid things like tomatoes and strong flavoured food/sauce as well but bugger that.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 August 2004 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Guys, I have the day off. How grand! Today is the day that all the sandy-haired kids with names like Jaanie Schloogelfart who boarded at the school that I teach would go back to Bumfuckoola or whereever in the Mallee they came from for a weekend of sheepbothering. This is back when we had boarders, of course. Now everybody just has a day off for the hell of it! Wee!

I hate tram conductors and I have scratched the surface of my right eye. I am getting nerd glasses as a consequence.

― M1cha3l Stuchb3ry (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 20 August 2004 00:30 (twenty-one years ago)

How did you scratch your right eye, and how did that require you to get glasses?

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 20 August 2004 00:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, apparently there was something trapped under my lower eyelid - which over the course of 24 hours was zipping across my cornea, scratching, abrading, putting up flyers for bad trance nights.

Apparently it's no big thing that I didn't feel it while the scratching was going on. You thing if there was a foreign body grinding away at one's eye, you'd feel it, yeah?

I wear hard contact lenses, but scratching up my eye means I need to give them a rest for a while. Hence, yesterday I took a couple of frames for a test drive at my local optometatricians. I'm favoring the heavy black plastic indestructible nerd frames at the moment.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 20 August 2004 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I live for curry, but I'm currently on a diet consisting of black coffee, mineral water and salads. It seems to be clearing up the fogginess I'm prone to in the morning.

Hey, how fuckin' rad is Berocca?

Red wine fucks me up something horried. I used to go through a bottle and a half every friday and saturday nights as a teenaged wanker from Templestowe. Now it gives me what feels like Hayfever.

― M1cha3l Stuchb3ry (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 20 August 2004 00:39 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost: Ah, now it makes sense.

Nerd frames are good, but the thick arms are hurting my ears.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 20 August 2004 00:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey I went out with a teenaged wanker from Templestowe. Are you psychotic?

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 20 August 2004 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, the nerd frames I tried on yesterday were made by Oakley, and didn't have the curly/hooky bits on the end that ALWAYS cause me a bit of grief/pain/annoyance.

In other news, everyone needs to go see Hellboy this weekend. Nazi-Tentacle-Slapstick-Ron-Perlman goodness for everybody!

No, I am not psychotic, but I know plenty who are!

i'm on hiloyda today. i can't really call it a sick day because i feel better than i would if i was at work. and two teeth lighter. you should have seen the buggers, they were very rotten. if i'd kept them i could have taken pictures, oh well.

Oh so it went okay then? Excellent.

I am using my day off or 'hiloyda' to watch the entirety of the first season of CSI and follow in the spiritual path of my master, Gil Grissom.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 20 August 2004 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Michael, you seem in exceptionally good spirits today?

That sounds quite kooky.

Bappi is a god, no doubt. And he sued Dre for unauthorised sampling! (yet claims to have written that tune i linked!)

― gaz (gaz), Friday, 20 August 2004 03:49 (twenty-one years ago)

If everyone who was pinched in that song sued him, he'd owe 500% of the royalties.

I'm a happy camper.

I didn't actually spend all day with CSI, I decided to amble on over to the local shopping mall to take care of some errands and am now reclining with a nice cuppa joe.

Yeah not too bad... Ive been asleep most of the day, it was like fighting off some kind of drugged grogginess. Odd. Just chilling out now... its very odd, home alone on a friday night with no sound, no music or tv...

It just looks really nice, not all poncey like most bars these days.

Gaz -> Based on what observations on me you have, do you consider me the kind of person not to be generally happy?

The missus and I went to Mexicali Rose in Richmond tonight. Good food, but I think it's not agreeing with me.

The original radio play? Its cool.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 21 August 2004 06:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, it really is. I'm quite geeking out over it - this thing has been referenced by hundreds of sci-fi stories, novels and films in the last seventy years.

"the chances of anything coming from mars...are a thousand to one."

Maybe thats the funky 70s version heh. We listend to that in primary school. The music was amusing =)

Trayce, did you hear sirens and police megaphones on Thursday night?

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 21 August 2004 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Adam, what else are they doing?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 21 August 2004 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh man. I could go on all day. Basically they're harrassing and intimidating all the neighbours. Trying to scare them in the dark, killing plants, jumping over the fence and moving things, digging holes so people's pets will escape, writing letters to councils/police accusing everyone of trying to physically abuse them, etc. The other night they ran outside with cameras and screamed insults at my mother, in the hope that my dad would hit them. Mentally unhinged provocative cunts.

Sadly, no.

Although one day I reckon a neighbour will snap and go absolutely pigshit at them, and the police would probably even turn a blind eye. The local station appears to be well sick to death of this woman turning up in tears, accusing everyone of things she can't prove.

GO TEAM! lets all plan for redundancy by xmas!

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Tonight's out because I've got to hand something in, tomorrow night's out because I've got to have an interview for said hand-in, Wednesday night's out because I've got a test, Thursday night's out because we started going out six years ago this week. After that I've no idea what I'm doing, it's too far away to think about. :)

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I am also facing redundancy, hooray! But it may not be for 6 months or so.

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:24 (twenty-one years ago)

with extreme prejudice

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

No, I'm referring to my day job. No-one's forcing me to stop releasing techno records. Then again, no-one's exactly on their knees begging me to continue, ahahaha.

Didn't you like my SAW lyric? I could really hear the bassline to that one.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:27 (twenty-one years ago)

It was scary. I could see the fluro socks and bad hair.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Bah Adam youre the one who demanded FAPage! ;P

Oh and congrats on the 6 years :)

(Adam did you know about this gig? BILL BAILEY!!! OMGWTF)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I also need a drink.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 23 August 2004 00:59 (twenty-one years ago)

are the tickets able to be purchased online?

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah the link on my LJ is to ticketmaster... I wanted to avoid that tho personally, as a) it costs more thru them and b) my credit card's limit is up its own wazoo.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, if we all booked togther we'd get seats together wouldnt we? Hows that stuff work?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Adam did you know about this gig? BILL BAILEY!!! OMGWTF

Yeah, I saw it on your LJ thing. :)

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah fuck it, tell me later, I'm off to buy ice cream.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yes, speaking of "my LJ thing", mr "notadam"!!! ;P

Uh yeah gig - um... Sept 7th I think?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 01:09 (twenty-one years ago)

One of the girls just went round giving everyone Smints. I asked her if it was because she thinks we all smell.

Now my throat feels all cold and on fire from the Smint :(

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Sept 7th... I have NO idea what I'm doing then.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Me either but fuckit I'm getting a ticket anyway.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Ahahaha. How much?

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Ticketmaster said 40-50 bucks? I spose the price varies depending on concession or sommat.

I've seen Bill do standup before (well, on telly anyway) and he was great.

Speaking of which I wish Black Books 3 would hurry the fuck up and be on tv here.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 04:03 (twenty-one years ago)

nah they didn't even finish the whole series, they went back to english mysteries leading directly into the glasshouse after about 3 episodes. VERY disappointing, it was great to get home from the pub and watch before falling asleep on the couch.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 23 August 2004 04:05 (twenty-one years ago)

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 23 August 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)
