I went to an industry showcase for a new band last night. They're odd events.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 15 October 2004 00:26 (twenty years ago)

who'd ya see? who went?

bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 15 October 2004 00:27 (twenty years ago)

Well the band had no actual name as such - a friend of mine. Sony, EMI etc etc there, invited and driven to the venue in limousines.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 15 October 2004 00:38 (twenty years ago)

I'd love to come out, as I'm a big ball of painful stress, but I have so much frickin' trouble getting out. I'll probably fall asleep on the couch.

Not for we plebs. But there were free drinks. (x-post)

the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 15 October 2004 00:56 (twenty years ago)

did anyone crowd surf?

bulbs (bulbs), Friday, 15 October 2004 00:58 (twenty years ago)

did you schmooze C2000 into the favours of the major label elite?

the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Friday, 15 October 2004 00:59 (twenty years ago)

Hehe we brought 3 CDs but didn't schmooze in the end as it just didn't feel right. We did however drink, laugh, dance and cheer. We provided much needed drunk rabble rousing.

Bulbs, no-one crowd surfed, it was more a Crowded House kind of sound. We had a little boogie. At times it felt like being in an 80's teen movie.

No gaz, and nor am I - but in my case it must've been a near thing cos everyone I know is. I must have been that crucial 1 degree of separation out - or maybe he took me out before he sent anything, haha. No-one comes out looking less than a freak, and I would have looked REAL bad. So, phew. The band's in Amsterdam at the moment, suffering and eating toast and driving each other insane as they struggle to get even one gig. It's written as a comedy.

Drug me up, my world is whirly!

Root canal work, yeah let's go!
Drill me fast - no! Drill me slow!

Go through the nerve, I wish you would!
I want to feel the agony

Hi Jeremy! What are you cooking today? We have no food in the house, so I will feed vicariously. As well as drain your mind like a psychic vampire.

Nothing. The explanation (per the description I sent to the 'This is the Thread Where...') is:

There's an independent film shooting in my apartment. A woman named M*** M***a is directing it; and I agreed to lend out the kitchen for a few extra bucks. I didn't realize the scale -- it was deliberately underrepresented to me. Now I have M***, her first and second AD, her DP, focus puller, two sound guys, a couple of grips, bunch of gaffers, a teamster, a craft-services person, the make-up guy, FX guy, two production types, and a bunch of people I don't know sitting in my living room smoking and chatting. The took out all the furniture, replaced it with nicer stuff painted the walls weird green (to chromakey them out), and have all-but banished me to my room. This is incredibly odd. I want to take pictuers, but I'm afraid I'll get in trouble. Also, the actors are all here. The girl's hot and the guy's very handsome, and I look like shit and am feeling very insecure.

i've had six in the last couple of months, and two extractions. my dentist is an affable bloke and seems to be good at what he does. my experiences have been almost exclusively painless. when i was a wee bairn, there was none of this anaesthetic stuff about...

i'm not sure what a fling is actually. its brief, i guess. is it in or out of wedlock?

bulbs (bulbs), Sunday, 17 October 2004 04:42 (twenty years ago)

either. Up to 3 weeks is a fling. After that it's a dalliance or an affair.

Hi Ned. pinch her on the bum for me, eh?

sorry ned.

It's lovely here. I really should be doing the job thing but I might nip out for a bit of sun later.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 23:19 (twenty years ago)

Why must I be stuck indoors on a day like this? Notfair. I think I'll bunk off early again today, Dom can give me a lift home. The shite beeyotches I work with are all up in sydney this week so its just me and Dom, haha woo! Tomorrow is his last day in the office.

It's going to be very weird working without my best friend(s).

Last night I had two dreams in which I was locked into some place and people were trying to torture/kill me. Two. I woke up after the first one, then fell asleep and had another one.

it's because of all the hott winter sexxoring

the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:04 (twenty years ago)

the boys are very very excited by the idea of a package of Tazor things. i have told them to expect them sometime next year ;)

bulbs (bulbs), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:06 (twenty years ago)

Most people are born in September/October, presumably due to new year's eve fucks. Ever noticed how many fucking birthdays there are in spring? I'm always broke by the end of October.

the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Thursday, 21 October 2004 01:12 (twenty years ago)

june/july for my family. spring inspires the fucking in us, apparently. except we were all concieved in the northern hemisphere...so Jim's theory about autumn holds!

Di, if you're still in LA, try to get out and see an LA band called White Trash Debutants. I think you'd like them. They have one song called 'Boys and Booze' and another called 'That Bitch Stole My Tiara'.

I was just co-opted into writing a review of that Go! Team album. I did rubbishly. It's a nice little album, though. I've long since stopped going and buying things to impress cute clerks, they always look down at me.

edward o (edwardo), Friday, 22 October 2004 05:45 (twenty years ago)

well unfortunately i'm totally shy in such situations and i couldn't muster the courage to ask the cute boy for it, i asked some other random employee, so the cute boy probably didn't get a chance to be impressed by my tops musical tastes. so i guess i'm even more of a dickhead than i originally thought!

gem (trisk), Friday, 22 October 2004 05:46 (twenty years ago)

Plus, anyone who'd be impressed by attempts to impress with music taste probably would NOT go for me anyway. Not when they see my actual collection which would make people with taste blanch.

Go back and tell him how good it is!

edward o (edwardo), Friday, 22 October 2004 05:48 (twenty years ago)

it was their only copy and they had it lined up to play in the store next, so maybe he'll ask where it is and the girl will say "oh that nice but slightly scatty chick who comes in and stares at you every 2nd day just bought it!". mission accomplished.

God bless grandparents.

Now we're going shopping for shoes and then off to Tempe Festival for clown, ice creams, bouncy castles, face painting and all that palaver.

It was a good night for sexy colin. Three out of it chicks attempted to pick me up through the course of the night. One of them, completely unknown to me, said, 'So... how's your sister, I hear she's just had a face peel'. I have no idea who she thought she was talking to. There was vomit on the dance floor, and the disco house pumped all night long. It was great. The club's door policy was more stringent than anything I have ever encountered at any airport. Typical Sydney club - great lighting, terrible sound system, $4 for a bottle of water. I cannot wait to go back to that shitty club again, they can consider me a lifelong member.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 23 October 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago)

vomit on the dancefloor is always a good sign.

ah, tempe festival. hot, crowded, worthless. guaranteed to be an open mic hiphop spot. not that i've ever been but i'm guessing it won't be disimilar to the marrickaville one. actually really good with a kid for exactly one hour.

Hahah. We have just been watching Futurama with the commentary track on half the afternoon. Its realy fackin funny. There was this scene where hypnotoad came on the screen, and John DiMaggio (Bender) fucking cracked up laughing and went "aaaaarrrgh!" and then they all pissed themselves laughing. Soooo cool.

Simpsons commentaries are rather boring in comparison.

Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 23 October 2004 04:02 (twenty years ago)

Hiya Trayce.

Gaz, Tempe festival ran from 12pm to 4pm. When we arrived at 3pm the clowns, face painters, and Travelling Wilburys had all gone home. However, there were still a few attractions: the cute animal enclosure (goats, a piglet, a bunny, several ducks and a chicken), two bouncy castles (one dominated by big boys engaging in rough, roundhouse antics that I now know are proto-homosexual), and a craft area (three little girls, two neurotic and controlling mothers). There was also the obligatory school 'rock' band practising lame strummy stuff in the school hall.

the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Monday, 25 October 2004 03:16 (twenty years ago)

Tuesday thats right, whatevs. Monday next is meant to be our official "last day" (tho Im staying on another few weeks for helpdesking) and so being cup eve we're supposedly having half the day off for our farewell party.

The only prob being, some of us wanted it the friday before, and then the snobby bitch half of the team just decided monday was it, without asking the rest of us, because friday interfered with their "social lives" or some shit. This is after these same small group of people didnt even bother to show up to the last couple of team events we had.

So I won't go.

No, if it were goth, I could deal. It's OK at the front, a bit on the side I must have missed, but I cut that bit off and it's OK.

But despite the MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DYE I PUT AT THE BACK, it seems to be brown right at the bottom. I'll have to get that cut. It's ridiculous. ARRGHH.

I really dig Wolf Eyes when I'm driving to work in the morning. It cuts out traffic noise, and it doesn't really interfere with my thought pattern. It's a slightly-more-intentional ambience that I haven't quite figured out, and occasionally it'll jolt me back to alertness or startle me with something really exciting. But I don't especially like sitting still and listening to it on the CD player.

Who was it said theres no such thing as stress? Bloke wot did Beauty and the Beast recently... Stan Zemanek wasnt it? That got me big time. I could never understand his point. "stress is bullshit" etc, I mean stress is a legitamite physical response to the inability to channel adrenaline in the appropriate direction. STAN YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE.

Vanilla Mint. It came in a 4-pack of flavors: Cinnamon Rush (7/10), Refreshing Vanilla Mint (9/10), Fresh Citrus Breeze (8/10) and Extreme Mint (haven't tried it yet). I paid twice as much for half of the product because I'm fascinated by brushing my teeth with different flavors twice/day. It's like a little adventure every time I approach the vanity.

I HAVE AN EXAM ON MONDAY.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 29 October 2004 04:55 (twenty years ago)

Guys, I think I'm getting stupider. It actively bothers me. I think I'm becoming less intelligent, less well-read, less cultured, less savvy, less brainy. I've always liked being a nerd but I think I'm going to end up as one of those super-annoying people who talk like they're smart but are actual friggin' idiots. My mind isn't very nimble anymore, and the prose-writing I did a year or two ago amazes me with its clarity and quality; totally out of line with the shit I currently compose.

I was thinking of starting a thread to the effect of 'Flowers for Algernon is happening to me' but that's dumb and I can't imagine I'd get any responses worth hearing.

Remy (x Jeremy), Friday, 29 October 2004 04:56 (twenty years ago)

i'm getting stupider too jeremy it must be to do with either (a) age or (b) my brain running out of room. i have exams starting in 10 days and i am quaking with fear because i simply can't absorb any of the information i need to. also i can't understand simple words anymore a lot of the time.

gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 04:58 (twenty years ago)

it's happening to me as well, but mainly because all the cool stuff i learned when i was younger is being pushed out by tedious work and life type stuff. i need to start reading again so i can get my smarts back. i saddens me to see my gf achieve amazing academic heights and i can barely string ten sentences together.

the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Friday, 29 October 2004 04:59 (twenty years ago)

I'm the same. I've barely done any study at all for Monday's exam, and tomorrow I'll probably start shitting my pants.
xpost

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 29 October 2004 04:59 (twenty years ago)

Do you find yourself really inarticulate in conversation? This is what's been happening to me, mostly, is that I've been talking and suddenly stalled. Sometimes I'll even forget that I'm the one talking -- but mostly I just lose my place, can't find a word, stutter, misspeak, or say something oversimplistic with the heft of a much smarter idea.

Remy (x Jeremy), Friday, 29 October 2004 05:03 (twenty years ago)

It's like anything: If you don't practise, you lose touch. It's recommded that writers, for example, knock up 1,000 words per day to keep the craft honed.

Something to do with parts of the brain adapting to what's used and needed, and letting old parts go. You can always revive the slow/derelict parts of your brain by getting back into practice.

Don't worry that you're going senile or whatnot, just git yerself back into the swing, whether it's understanding small words, talking at parties, plucking your nutsack, whatever.

Gem, perhaps you need some enormous change? If you fall into a routine, going through the motions can wear thin after a while, and you find yourself on automatic a lot of the time. When that happens to me I change stuff, whether it's moving suburb, buying new clothes, or just putting the computer desk against a different wall. That change simulates the brain.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 29 October 2004 05:07 (twenty years ago)

Look at me talking like a brain expert. Um.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 29 October 2004 05:07 (twenty years ago)

actually i think it's because i'm doing a bit much this year (two jobs and two units at law school), there literally is a bit of a shortage of brain power to go around. i finished lectures yesterday though and i'm only going to do one unit for summer semester so i already feel kinda on holiday!

gem (trisk), Friday, 29 October 2004 05:08 (twenty years ago)

Ah, yeah, the impending holiday thing has frightening detrimental powers on your brain, especially after a heavy year of uni.

Recently I've been thinking about this a lot, because I'm jobless and alone all the time. It's getting increasingly harder to get my arse into gear and onto the job market/CV, or study for exams. To resolve this, in recent weeks I've gone back to skating, entirely changed my workout programme, bought 11 [!!!!!] new items of clothing, and even started going to a fucken solarium. Next week I'll get back into writing and drawing too, which should also make a huge difference.

Not doing nanowrimo because there's too much else going on, what with exams and no job and sister-in-law coming from abroad to stay with us.

ok on reflection... do you mean your gym at home (as i immediately assumed), or an actual building where people got hurt and whatnot?

gem (trisk), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:01 (twenty years ago)

The actual building. After all that gushing violent rain, something in the roof gave out and the false ceiling burst. We got evacuated and everything!

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:07 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I should mention that we had gushing violent rain in Melbourne.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:07 (twenty years ago)

gem (trisk), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:09 (twenty years ago)

Ahahaha. Not ruined, but there's an actual lake under the treadmills, and it'll be closed while builders get up and rebuild the roof.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:11 (twenty years ago)

Still pretty specular though. It really did look like an actual waterfall, the kind you see in the country where the slow people live.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:12 (twenty years ago)

maybe you and the other gymgoers could swim laps in the lake while you're waiting for the roof to be rebuilt

i would have liked to see that. that must be some serious torrential downpours!

gem (trisk), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:13 (twenty years ago)

It was pretty scary. Melbourne doesn't get many like that, but it looked torrential from what I could see. Really sudden too, like in the tropics.

Ironically, the gym's directly above a swimming pool.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:18 (twenty years ago)

we get occasional massive downpours here and they can be very sudden, which is pretty annoying because our storm drains can't cope and all the roads promptly flood. but i don't think i've ever seen a roof collapse! cool story though. would have made a tops photo to get it mid-collapse.

gem (trisk), Monday, 1 November 2004 08:21 (twenty years ago)

You couldn't see the collapse because of the false ceiling. All you could see was a sudden GUSH of fuckloads* of water, that ran like a fully-fledged waterfall for a good 10 minutes nonstop. Incredible to see.

I was wondering who'd use that. :D

The Midnight ROFFLEr (haitch), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:18 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, hemp body butter. Skin sucks it in like you wouldn't believe.

The whole reason I'm doing the solarium thing is to build up some resistance for our trip to Cairns in December. I burn way too easily, and I'm not confident sunscreen alone will be enough. Ironic that the solarium is burning me, but it's better than massive blistering and squillions of skin cancers.

Oh, and half the pain is my abs, which I worked like buggery on Monday. Coughing hurts ffs.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 22:51 (twenty years ago)

Um dude, if you're burning your skin you are damaging it, just because its a solarium doesnt make it any better! :/

And that line's from Silence of the Lambs. Get with the program ;P

Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 23:40 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I know Trayce. The intention is to not burn me at all, but to build up resistance safely. They put me in the weakest bed for that very reason, but I've come out pink [not red]. Next time I'll tell them I went pink and they'll drop the time accordingly.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 23:57 (twenty years ago)

I should also mention that they did a pretty detailed profile of my skin type, and gave me what they thought would be a safe amount of time in a safe bed. So from that perspective they're doing everything correctly.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 23:58 (twenty years ago)

Oh righto, that seems sensible then.

I'm just happy to stay pale - I am VERY pale and skin cancer runs in the family, so I stay out of the sun. I burn hanging out the washing for 5 minutes.

i hate having disagreements on internet boards too. i know the other posters are anonymous folk that you'll probably never meet in real life but in some ways that makes it worse because you know there's no opportunity for them to really understand you properly

Oh man way worse than this has happened to me online before, hahaha :D The time the group of Perth goth chicks who didnt even know me ganged up and started an IRC channel to bitch about how I was a "manipulative liar" was the best one.

That really was a cruel call from Phil. It's one thing to suggest someone's annoying; it's another to be so blunt about it.

Yeah, and don't leave, just because two people said you're annoying. They're AMERICAN, what would they know. :)

Gem: Yeah, it's way too easy to get into fights through the internet. Text doesn't encapsulate emotions like sarcasm and good-natured ribbing very well. I've had arguments with more than a few people because they thought I was serious about something.

The way I see it is, if you can learn how to avoid losing your temper on the internet, you can avoid losing it almost everywhere.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 06:45 (twenty years ago)

Indeed. I think the key is to Say Nothing. Took me a while to learn that one, inside yr full of rant, but letting any of it out serves no one, least of all oneself.

Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 09:08 (twenty years ago)

she tried to smooth the waters of people being cranky with each other for no reason except they were all a bit tense, and a couple of posters sort of turned their aggression on her. usual internet discussion board situation where people misinterpret each other due to shortages of cues.

Mmm.. you know, I havent paid it much thought, and I'm not sure that's been a wise move. No need to stress, of course. But I've been a little bit blase about the fact I need to get a new job. And at this stage I feel a big polar shift in the way I want to approach work. I dont want a 9-5 5 day a week office job, if I can help it. Not one in a large company for certain. I'd like to work for myself, from home somehow. I'd like to have a home office and work with my partner churning out books and games and making a small name for myself.

I'd like to, but I dont know if I can. I dont even know where to start, let alone being no good whatsoever at business matters like taxes and money.

Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 23:42 (twenty years ago)

the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Wednesday, 3 November 2004 23:49 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, I dont think I could ever start a business on my own or anything - you fall or fly on your own efforts and thats frightening. Plus, I'm lazy and I am very very bad when it comes to taxes and budget stuff.

But I do kinda like the idea of freelancing or something. I dont know... I'm still mulling over it all. Working for this company has disheartened me terribly, and instilled a loathing of the corporate machine.

it was called Lust. it was about this late 30's gay guy who is impotent and finds he can conjure up whoever he fancies and fuck them but also he is fucked up cos he had a crush on his dad and tried to wank him off.

So I leave the gym and intend to stop at the shop for the paper, but the woman in front of me takes the space. So I go to the 7 Eleven, but can't turn in there because all the fucken grannies are doing 2km/h and are all over the place. Then I see Bush's face on the paper, vomit and throw it out. Then I can't get back onto the road because of all the Jewish bloody white vans doing 0.5km/h, then when I go to turn right there's some dickhead who doesn't move up far enough. THEN, when I FINALLY get through THAT intersection, I'm IMMEDIATELY wedged behind some fucknut old Queenslander fucking fucknut who insists on doing 0.2km/h all the way along Inkerman St. THEN, when I get to my street [four days later] I can't park outside the flat because some total fuckwit has DOUBLE PARKED, so I parked right up its arse to teach the dumb cunt a fucking lesson. All this within a 2km distance. What the fuck is wrong with people today??

Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 4 November 2004 22:52 (twenty years ago)

that's what happens trayce. for about two or three weeks after quitting, i had a sore mouth and my phlegm was way worse than usual. but this goes away and gives way to glorious clearness of throat and sinus.

I havent quit perse, thats the problem... and I know smoking messes my sinuses up something rotten, and makes me tired... you'd think that'd make me want to quit. I dont even enjoy it that much anymore, and never get cravings. Its just habit, and I'm a horrible sucker for my habits. Why can't this shit be illegal so its too hard for me to bother getting often, like the other smoke? Gah. Anyhoo.
