Deal with it yo.

Clearly the mongrels have no place in this thread.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Um this title doesnt make sense ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

LOVE TRAIN

― Jimmy Mod Has Returned With Spices And Silks (ModJ), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:14 (twenty years ago)

It's a call to arms :)

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:14 (twenty years ago)

Anyhow I didn't see any of YOU making a new title.

If you wannabe my mongrel/You've got to fuxor my sheep

WHEN DID AUSTRALASIA ANNEX PHILADELPHIA?!?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:14 (twenty years ago)

More pertinent is when Australia became a state of the USA.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:16 (twenty years ago)

Governor Howard has a lot to answer for.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:16 (twenty years ago)

Come up with a better title and i'll be happy. Let's call this temporary till you do okay? :)

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:16 (twenty years ago)

i like the title ... but hey i'm not an anzac!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:17 (twenty years ago)

I would annex that part of the US where you can get pork crackling as a snack food, then take posession of all of it.

― haitch (haitch), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:18 (twenty years ago)

is a love train when you all hold each other's hips in a line and kick out to the side like they do at drunken office parties on telly?

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

The title is referencing a song by the O'Jays. I guess that was kind of foolish.

You can get pork crackling here can't you?

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

pork crackling is yucky though haitch. and you can buy it here it's true

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:20 (twenty years ago)

Oh nah nah I just meant it isnt clear this is a mongrels thread is all - no mongrels in da titles.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:21 (twenty years ago)

But you all knew, right?

...see? :)

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:22 (twenty years ago)

I didn't know, I was just ready to tell you to all try some chiccarones!

― svend (svend), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:24 (twenty years ago)

Anyhoo, where were we?

Bit humid innit? :(

Heres another one of them fog pix, cos I dont wanna chog up the best pix thread:

http://www.memorygongs.com/fog11.jpg

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:24 (twenty years ago)

y'all just a bunch of FUXORS who keep comin' back for more!

;-)

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

Maybe i can get a nice mod to change the fuxors to mongrels.

Those fog pics are awesome Trayce. I can't believe you didn't post them first!

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

it is a great picture ... it almost looks like mist from a sprinkler.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

It kind of is - it is mist generated by a special water spray thing.

And yeah I only didnt post these ones cuz I forgot all about them!

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

all the photos on that thread are aweinspiring, the misty sculpture and the rest. i wish i had creativity.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:33 (twenty years ago)

Go out and have a go! If they're shit, no one but yourself is any the wiser :)

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

It's gorgeous. The boat thing leads yer eye to the foggy bit.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)

i don't have a camera! i've been wanting a digital one for ages though. i took a really cool one on our work camera up in the yardi creek gorge in the gascoyne last year, but i don't have it on my computer. but just about any photos of the yardi creek gorge would be stunning by default.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)

Well you found your niche then - taking photos of things that look good whether you're creative or not :)

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:40 (twenty years ago)

aaaah never thought of that! well i live in the perfect location then

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

Thankyou mods!

What you mean like this?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:47 (twenty years ago)

I bought THE most embarrassing magazine ever today.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:48 (twenty years ago)

nah mine were taken inside the gorge, i went through it in a funny little boat. my favourite one has a grey bird and a white bird against that red rock and the dark water beneath.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:49 (twenty years ago)

or take five? Do they still make that crappy mag?

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:54 (twenty years ago)

Not only is it a magazine about Doctor Who, and not only did I go all the way to Minotaur just to buy it, but it's the Doctor everyone hates.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:55 (twenty years ago)

what are the articles about?

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:55 (twenty years ago)

Articles? I bought it for the soft porn.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 05:56 (twenty years ago)

...and that killed the conversation. Just like in real life.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:01 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, i was off cooking dinner

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:03 (twenty years ago)

mmm dinner

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:04 (twenty years ago)

Well it's just potato salad and fake vego chicken fillets. Nothing fancy.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:05 (twenty years ago)

Ace vegie joke on Trevor's World of Sport on Tuesday.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:09 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

Ahahaha no, telly show on the ABC.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:13 (twenty years ago)

ok so singing the spice girls was kinda irritating but now i keep thinking of cat stevens and 'riiiiide on the peace train'

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

FUCK! Trayce see the enormous massive fucking fire?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:15 (twenty years ago)

Love Train by the O'Jay's is an infinitely better song than that Cat Stevens song.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

Whoa! More news please Adam.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:17 (twenty years ago)

Dunno, there's just this massive fire at the end of our respective streets. Helicopters everywhere.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:21 (twenty years ago)

Can't see what's on fire, and don't want to go over there and clog up the streets, but it's pretty close.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:21 (twenty years ago)

I hope it's not near trayce, she's not said anything for a while.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

if I know where Trayce lives it's not her :)

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:23 (twenty years ago)

Its further down than me - it looks like it might be one of the houses at the end of my street, or possibly beth rivka college? I cant see from here. Peww it stinks tho theres smoke everywhere.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:24 (twenty years ago)

Yeah nasty. At first I thought it was an enormous barbecue.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

I wonder whats happened?

― kate/papa november (papa november), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:26 (twenty years ago)

I think they just put it out.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 February 2005 06:30 (twenty years ago)

..and my school climbs one spot in the top schools list.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 24 February 2005 08:17 (twenty years ago)

Why do lot of schools burn down,anyway, these days? Surely after a school burning down every weekend during the nineties (or so it seemed)< they could make schools a little more fireproof, build them out of ice or something.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 24 February 2005 08:20 (twenty years ago)

Well I dont know if it was the school... or has something been on the news?

I hate people who do this - but I need some cheering up, can you guys help?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 25 February 2005 01:53 (twenty years ago)

not so much, i do too mikey! today is my very last day of full time work as i'm going back to uni next week, which is cheering! on the downside though... tomorrow is our state election, it is too close to call and i feel more nervous than i have ever felt ever in my entire life. i really feel quite queasy.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 25 February 2005 01:58 (twenty years ago)

Saw yr post Mikey - damn that sucks, can't you protest not knowing you had to do the stuff they said to, or something?

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 25 February 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

I don't fuckin' know, I'm just so dispirited.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 25 February 2005 02:07 (twenty years ago)

I saw it last night, it was just a house near Carlisle St.

Stop me if you've heard this before...

36 RULES FOR BANDS:
1. Never start a trio with a married couple.
2. Your manager's not helping you. Fire him/her.
3. Before you sign a record deal, look up the word "recoupable" in the dictionary.
4. No one cares who you've opened for.
5. A string section does not make your songs sound any more "important".
6. If your band has gone through more than 4 bass players, it's time to break up.
7. When you talk on stage you are never funny.
8. If you sound like another band, don't act like you're unfamiliar with their music ("Oh does Rage Against The Machine also do rap-rock with political lyrics?").
9. Asking a crowd how they're doing is just amplified small talk. Don't do it.
10. Don't say your video's being played if it's only on the Channel 31.
11. When you sign to a major label, claim to have inked the best contract ever (what the fuck do you have to compare it too?). Mention "artistic freedom" and "a guaranteed 3 record deal".
12. When you get dropped insist that it was the worst contract ever and you asked to be let go.
13. Never name a song after your band.
14. Never name your band after a song.
15. When a drummer brings in his own songs and asks to perform one of them, begin looking for a new drummer IMMEDIATELY.
16. Never enter a "battle of the bands" contest. If you do you're already a loser.
17. Learn to recognize scary word pairings: "rock opera", "white rapper", "blues jam", "swing band", "open mike", etc.
18. Drummers can take off their shirts or they can wear gloves, but not both.
19. Listen, either break it to your parents or we will; it's rock 'n' roll, not a soccer game. They've gotta stop coming to your shows.
20. It's not a "showcase". It's a gig that doesn't pay.
21. No one cares that you have a web site.
22. Getting a tattoo is like sewing platform shoes to your feet.
23. Don't hire a publicist.
24. Playing in Jindabyne and Warrnambool doesn't mean you're on tour.
25. Don't join a cover band that plays Bush songs. In fact, don't join a cover band.
26. Although they come in different styles and colours, electric guitars all sound the same. Why do you keep changing them between songs?
27. Don't stop your set to ask that beers be brought up. That's what girlfriends/boyfriends are for.
28. If you use a smoke machine, your music sucks.
29. We can tell the difference between a professionally produced album cover and one you made with the iMac your mum got for Christmas.
30. Remember, if blues solos are so difficult, why can so many 16 year olds play them?
31. If you ever take a publicity photo, destroy it. You may never know where or when it will turn up.
32. Cut your hair, but do not shave your head.
33. Pierce your nose, but not your eyebrow.
34. Do not wear shorts onstage. Or a suit. Or a hat.
35. Rock oxymorons; "major label interest", "demo deal"," blues genius", "$500 guarantee", and "Fastball's second hit".
36. 3 things that are never coming back: a) gongs, b) headbands, and c) playing slide guitar with a beer bottle.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

yes, I was wondering about that one. A friend of ours hired a publicist for his band recently and WHAM BAM ZAPP! They were everywhere, doing all kinds of things.

― moley (moley), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

ooh

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:18 (twenty years ago)

Hey Trayce, thanks for sticking up for me on that other thread. I think I better change my name to esmerelda or something.

― kate/papa november (papa november), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:39 (twenty years ago)

Amateurist is a fuckhead. being insulted by him is equivalent to the praise of anyone else.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

Thanks James. I mean, i wasn't really insulted I just felt like I was. I get home and i'm like wtf? :)

― the other kate (ffs!) (papa november), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:43 (twenty years ago)

No worries kate .. I dont like that guy much and I restrained from being rude myself (I dont like being rude on here) but yeah, I figured he had it wrong.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I didn't think I made enough of a dent around here to illicit such a strong response. But maybe theres something to it, the other Kate and I seem to have increasingly more in common. Maybe Kates around the world are melding and forming one big super-kate?

― the other kate (ffs!) (papa november), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

duh, i mean elicit

― the other kate (ffs!) (papa november), Friday, 25 February 2005 04:51 (twenty years ago)

14. Never name your band after a song.

b-b-but what of Motorhead!?!

Any of you dudes doing things of interest o'er the weekend? I'm going to try and go to that Necks gig tonight at the town hall, hopefully it's not all sold out.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 25 February 2005 05:20 (twenty years ago)

We're going for a picnic on sunday with a bunch of the usual gang (who are all geeky goth/IT friends), at Fitzroy Gardens. I'm trying to plan what to take, as we wont be able to bbq things... I'm thinking my pasta salad, some cold roast chicken, some brie, some dips, and some bread rolls.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 25 February 2005 05:21 (twenty years ago)

I am driving up to caboolture to pick up something I bought off ebay for $2.25. This is not the first time I've done something so obviously stupid, late last year I picked up an 8mm film splicer I bought off ebay for $1.60 from the gold coast.

Me? I love to drive some.

― the other kate (ffs!) (papa november), Friday, 25 February 2005 05:22 (twenty years ago)

i'm going to see holly golightly tomorrow night, and working in the tally room on sunday

― gem (trisk), Friday, 25 February 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to sleep in, then wake up, lament at how late it is, then compulsively clean my apartment and sit in the the laundrette staring at the wall while my washing gets done. Then I'm going to go and have lunch with a much more successful friend who has enough money to escape to england with his girlfriend in september for adventures. then i'm going to go home and stare at the same couple of web pages until it is time to go over to a friends place and watch as my friends congratulate each other over gaining full time employment and pretend to smile while i'm stressing over my own job, occasionally hating it for five minute stretches.

sunday i'll sleep in past the alarm, do more cleaning. procratinate doing my lesson plans until it's far too late, go back to the suburbs for dinner, be accused of not joining for discussion, come home and then collapse into bed exhausted, ready for another exciting school day at 6am on monday!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 25 February 2005 05:37 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah i'll be stressing over my job too, it is up in the air depending on the outcome of the election. we are all clearing out our offices right now in case it all goes pearshaped! creepy. i feel a bit queasy.

revive it milton.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 27 February 2005 05:32 (twenty years ago)

well come to think of it maybe lying down is actually the ticket.

but when revival comes, less about the band, more about parasitic malevolence. and trepanning. but subtly!

― (Jon L), Sunday, 27 February 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

i saw janne's sleevenotes milton! they suck!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 27 February 2005 05:52 (twenty years ago)

oh I like them. but I agree they might not contain the entire picture. also my two bandmates looked at me like I was a madman, though they did not come right out and say 'no'

perhaps answer sleevenotes are called for

― (Jon L), Sunday, 27 February 2005 05:58 (twenty years ago)

'one cannot transmit wolfenhate on gay synthesizer'

very true

my band breaks moley's rule no. 1 btw, it is often not fun for me, standing by while they say things to each other like "you don't think... you were playing a little too aggressively during that part, do you honey?"

― (Jon L), Sunday, 27 February 2005 06:00 (twenty years ago)

i like them too! did he even hear the music before? can i hear the music?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 27 February 2005 06:01 (twenty years ago)

they used to be online for free's, but the server went down and I'm having trouble finding another... costs so much money to give your music away for nothing.

I can mail you one if that's your real e-mail, or moley's got mine. Sami probably shouldn't hear the record before writing anything though so for god's sake don't let him hear anything.

― (Jon L), Sunday, 27 February 2005 06:17 (twenty years ago)

Sami to write the "answer" sleevenotes...hahahaha

What a gorgeous day! Sunshine without heat, dappled shade in a city park with good friends, food and wine, blankets and blab. All too brief. I am full of chicken. Ah.

Whats up Trayce, what made you fed up between this post and changing your name?

Ahhh, it's sort of naughty but not terribly because I'm even sure I'm supposed to be in that class. I have to head in later this arvo and ask them what the hell I should be doing. I've made a firm vow to raise my GPA to around 5.5 so I can't do much dawdling this semester.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Monday, 28 February 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

ok well i was the opposite from you kate, i parked in the near-empty carpark outside the law school at 8am. pick the nerd! although then i came to work anyways so i could partake of celebratory morning tea. then i'm going back to uni.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 28 February 2005 02:29 (twenty years ago)

It's weird. I hate the holidays because I get so bored, but when the academic year starts up again, I'm like wtf? I actually have to go somewhere? No way!

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Monday, 28 February 2005 02:35 (twenty years ago)

haha yeah i know exactly what you mean. last night i was all raring to get there before 7:30am so i could come in to work early and leave early to get back to uni. i realised that plan was out the window when the 7:30am news came on the radio and i was still drinking my cuppa tea on the lounge.

Hey guys - Momus will be on tv on Thursday! Its a documentary about parasites called "Body Snatchers" and it looks eeeeee pretty horrible and icky, I suppose he will be talking about the eye disease he has.

i'm totally fine with maggots and worms etc in stuff that is already dead, and also when they are used for therapeutic purposes. but flesh eating worms and nematodes and what not in real life people give me the heebyjeebies

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 03:08 (twenty years ago)

Is the wind cold? Maybe I need to open some windows.

Also sitting in a room with the sun full on it with a PC blasting away dun' help. I think I'll retire back to the loungeroom.

No, instead of a VCR.

No point buying a DVD recorder until (a) they take double-layer discs and (b) they contain digital receivers. No point buying a HDD recorder until (b) they contain digital receivers.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 03:15 (twenty years ago)

Indeed. I already have a DVD player (actually I have 5 if I count the PCs and the PS2). I have a VCR but the channels wont work on it, and it has cost me too much in repairs over the years as it is. VCRs are so cheap now I can get one for like $150, I just want it to record t'telly.

Also, I still actually watch tapes, shock horror! I also play casettes and listen to vinyl, so PAH.

i think dedicated dvd recorders are a pretty silly idea anyway. hopefully soonish i will have a capture card in my pc for this very purpose..

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, a DVD recorder should always have a HDD as well. DVD can't be trusted to capture anything correctly the first time.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

technology in general is bugging me at the moment. yesterday my new pc decided to crash six ways from sunday. after every diagnostic test i could find, the solution? push the HDD jumper cables in a little more. they were out by approximately 1mm.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

Don't you hate that? A couple of years ago, every time I started Red Hat Linux 7 on this thing stuff was missing. Further reboots would remove more and more things from the desktop, and ultimately it would die omg and I'd have to reinstall it from scratch. SuSE Linux and WinME/Win2000 worked just fine, but Red Hat was fucked each time. Turns out my hard drive cable had ONE broken connection. ONE.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 03:50 (twenty years ago)

Aussies the world's biggest sleepy-heads

Australians clocking up highest average hours of sleep;
Australians the earliest to bed, with most in bed before 11pm
Work hours the biggest determining factor of Australian sleep schedules

Sydney, 23 February 2005: Australians have been revealed as sleeping more than any nation around the world, with 73 per cent enjoying an average of eight or more hours a night compared to just 49 per cent globally, according to an international study of sleep habits conducted by ACNielsen, a leading provider of consumer and marketplace information.

The Internet survey of over 500 Australians and more than 14,000 people in 28 countries around the world, was conducted in October 2004 by ACNielsen, with respondents asked a range of questions on their sleep patterns.

Over half of Australians (57 per cent) indicated they were normally in bed by 11pm during the week, with as many as one in four (24 per cent) going to bed before 10pm, making Australia the first nation to retire at night. In comparison, only 31 per cent of people globally and 29 per cent of people in Asia were in bed by 11pm, while 37 per cent of people globally and 40 per cent of people in Asia indicated they were normally up past midnight.

Of the top 10 globally ranked night-owl nations, seven were Asian � Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand � with the other three being Mediterranean countries � Portugal, Spain and Italy � more typically known for late nights and midday siestas.

So contrary to popular belief, the majority of Australians are managing to get a decent night�s sleep, particularly when compared to their global counterparts. In fact, if eight hours is widely regarded as the optimal average night�s sleep, then many Australians could be getting more sleep than they really need.

Says Paul Richmond, Managing Director, ACNielsen Australia: "A number of aspects could be contributing to this Australian phenomenon, such as prime time commercial television programming which generally finishes at 10.30pm; less weeknight socialising compared to, in particular, Asian and European cultures; or higher levels of awareness in Australia of the role that sleep plays in maintaining health and well-being."

Asked to indicate the biggest factors in determining their sleep schedules, the majority of Australians cited Work Hours, with almost half (48 per cent) saying it played a part. This was followed closely by Habit, which 44 per cent of respondents indicated was a factor in determining their sleep schedules. Well down the list, only 16 per cent of Australians said Family and Children played a part in their sleep schedules and six per cent indicated Daylight Hours was taken into consideration.

European and Asian respondents indicated similar determinants in their sleep schedules, although in the USA findings were somewhat different, with as many as 34 per cent saying Family and Children were a major factor in their hours of sleep.

Fantastic!

I sorta go through a surreptitious siesta myself between 1pm and 3pm - I just sorta chill for a while, then pick up the pace around 3.30 for another stint at the fuckin 'puter. Geez I hate computers and the way they make you fuss around with your fingers. What a shocking design for physical health.

One thing I like about this thread? I scroll past Trayce's beautiful misty photo every time I open it and that's nice... then there's the Morrissey one too and that's a laugh. So I'm always in a good mood by the time I get to the bottom.

― moley (moley), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 21:04 (twenty years ago)

that misty photo is a nice start to the morning for sure

i don't like siestas, i'm always a cranky bitch for the rest of the day if i have a kindy nap in the middle of it

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, if I sleep during the day I wake up feeling like i've got a fever and very disoriented. It'd be okay if I could just take a nap for 30 mins or something but I always seem to sleep for two to three hours, this is especially weird if you go to sleep during daylight and wakeup at nighttime.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 3 March 2005 22:49 (twenty years ago)

I want to keep a penis fish in a jar in my bag in case anyone messes with me.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Friday, 4 March 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

Hahah wasnt that great and gross! Nick got home just after it started and to my suprise sat thru it all even tho he was horrified.

Then I got horribly drunk, like I havent been in ages and boy am I paying for it today. I am sick as a dog.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 4 March 2005 03:28 (twenty years ago)

i missed it! and forgot to tape it too. for shame.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 4 March 2005 05:46 (twenty years ago)

I wouldve taped it but my vcr is semi bust.

Lordy I feel sick. Spent hours vomming this mornign and now I am all achy and dehydrated and sweaty. Note to self - Tracy, you are Drinking Too Fucking Much Fortheloveofgawdstopit.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 4 March 2005 05:47 (twenty years ago)

ew hangovers. i'm going to be drinking for the first time in months tonight, i'm sure i'll regret it tomorrow too.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 4 March 2005 05:54 (twenty years ago)

ew poor Trayce. But self-inflicted, so the sympathy only goes so far. ;)

I am saddened that Tex Perkins and the BUMHEAD ORCHESTRA are only playing Sydney, to be honest.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 7 March 2005 00:33 (twenty years ago)

Trayce, it's okay, booze is called for sometimes.

My weekend was completely sober and it turned out to be suicidally depressing.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 March 2005 00:58 (twenty years ago)

I behaved in relative terms all weekend, and had a fantastic dinner party last night; roast with all the trimmings, entrees and desert and Futurama and everything. Rockin.

Now I got to remember to ask everyone to COME TO MY FREAKIN BIRTHDAY PARTY next saturday night. Y'all here are invited, obv.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 March 2005 01:28 (twenty years ago)

Oh, uh, cool!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 March 2005 01:43 (twenty years ago)

You dont have to come! I'm just sayin is all.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 7 March 2005 01:53 (twenty years ago)

I'll show you, I might just come.

I've been a total recluse this year, I need to see people. No wonder I go barmy so often.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 7 March 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

My friends are a big bunch of goths and geeks, be warned! ;P

Eh, so are mine! I'm not a facist all the time!

I'd come if I could.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

Well theres not much to tell. I never actually did it. I wanted to. The only thing that stopped me was potentially being charged for it. I did however send one of my flunkies (okay, my only flunky) to key his four wheel drive though.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:20 (twenty years ago)

Hang on... so what happened?

(and yes, I know the Goodies ARE old, I dont mind, it just makes me realise how old *I* am!)

Also, we're like plague apparently, isnt that nice?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:21 (twenty years ago)

Just a bit of a road rage incident Trayce.

My anger management course starts next week.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

DOh thats no good :(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

Nah, it's a good thing. At least I'm doing something about it.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

Wow. Well I hope it works out.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:31 (twenty years ago)

Jesus, you guys probably think I'm some moody psycho. I think really, the stress of day to day life and stuff has bubbled over into the occasional angry outburst. I'm not on a hair trigger, I just don't have the patience and tolerance i used to possess. I want it back.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

I didn't think you were psycho, if it helps. I can understand how one can explode occasionally; I do it all the time [at objects though, not actual people fortunately].

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

Well I think thats really what made me seek help. I never used to made at object or people. Despite the fact that this old chap was incredibly mean and horrible to me, I never thought I'd actually fire right back at him and I did and I've felt terrible ever since.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

that was meant to say...

I never used to get mad at objects or people

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I think it's the after-feeling that's the real giveaway. Hormones etc. make it really easy to just explode and regret it later. I try to acknowledge the chemical imbalance and ride it now, but it doesn't always work.

Er, it should be noted that my anger attacks usually last about 10 seconds, and occasionally involve me hitting/kicking something like a door or wall, with disappointingly negligible results.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, see thats exactly what I don't do. My husband broke the cat flap a few days back in a fit of rage and now our house is full of flies. I don't get the whole inanimate objects thing. I'm more of a yeller which must really endear me to the neighbours.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

Ah yes, I do that too. Usually just OMG YOU FUCKING CUNT*, but I'm sure it sounds pleasurable to the people downstairs.

* don't normally attempt to pronounce the 'OMG' part

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

I just quietly destroy my health.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:48 (twenty years ago)

You bottle your anger and brood? That's probably less healthy.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:49 (twenty years ago)

My older skinny sister said being overweight can mess with your hormones making you physically less able to deal with emotions such as anger. I don't know if this is bullshit or not.

xxpost

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:49 (twenty years ago)

I'd have thought it has more to do with what you eat. Red meat seems to make people angrier.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:50 (twenty years ago)

Ah well i'm almost entirely vegetarian at the moment, so it can't be that.

― kate/baby loves headrub (papa november), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 03:52 (twenty years ago)

I am going camping soon and I have left it in my husbands hands to sort out so it should be an adventure. He's never been camping before, and I haven't since I lived at home. I wonder what vital supplies we will accidently leave at home? Matches? Food? The tent?!

Thankyou. I kind of nicked it from a TV show that used to be on in America. Long story, but apparently the show was shot on the same set as America's Funniest Home Video Show and they found this list of finalists and one of the submissions was entitled, "baby loves headrub" which for some reason is kind of catchy and weird all at once so I adopted it.

I'd take the damn piano too but theres no way of getting it into a first floor flat.

Hi Kate!

Trayce: elucidate one eating pattern

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 11 March 2005 02:04 (twenty years ago)

Well mostly I just stopped eating shite like I was eating when working - fried food mainly, chips an' that.

I've stuck to veggies, rice cakes for snacks, cut out the cream and cheese in my pasta sauces (well, this week Ive been naughty), started eating low fat cheese (blech I know, but theres a vintage lowfat one I like), low fat milk etc. I'm not particularly avoiding carbs, but trying not to fry, butter or cheese up everything I eat.

The main kicker is the booze, if I could stop that I'd lose tons I reckon.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 11 March 2005 02:12 (twenty years ago)

Oh and of course just eating *less*. Going with only 2 meals a day some days. Not piling my plate up with six metric buttloads of rice. That kind of thing.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 11 March 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

- fewer booze
- fewer mull
- SMALLER DINNERS [I can't stress this enough; it's always been my downfall]
- spread out your eating, 4-5 small meals per day [just two a day is damaging to your metabolism]

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 11 March 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

[just tips, it's different for everyone obv]

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 11 March 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

giving up booze will make far more difference than everything else you've cut out combined, IMO. of course this isn't a sacrifice i'd be prepared to make myself

xpost

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 11 March 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

Booze is fine if you work it off somehow [either through moving about or eating better] and/or if you drink in vague moderation. I'm sure the odd OMG FIFTY DRINKS MOITE evening of debauchery won't turn you into Amanda Vanstone; it's more consistent drinking that does it. Two beers per night, that kind of thing.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 11 March 2005 02:55 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, if I have any, its usually at least like 4 wines of an evening, every other day, thats just too much really. I have started to make myself exercise more though, doing situps and things... interestingly I've noticed that bad shoulder pain has lessened doing exercises. Blood flow I spose.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 11 March 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

Yeah four wines every other day will stack on the kilos. Evenings's worse, because you don't burn it off in any way while you're asleep.

Shoulder pain lessening? That's an interesting one. I don't know if doing things like sit-ups will actually trigger weight loss because it doesn't do a whole lot of burning, it just moves a few muscle groups.

― Gloria Fucking Marshall (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 11 March 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

No it doesnt at all, that was the first thing my gym trainer told me, back what when I were going t'gym... he said it'll tighen the muscles, improve the posture... but you have to flat out burn off the fat for owt else. And if I overdo that, I will no longer have boobs or an arse. I CANT WIN!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 11 March 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

You know, I also recently read somewhere that the old agage of not sleeping on a meal was bunk, that you do still burn calories while asleep, so not to have to worry too much about evening meals, as long as they werent mega heavy.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 11 March 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

SOLUTION: CHICKEN FILLETS

You always burn calories but you burn far fewer when asleep. Yeah, always eat at night [so your body doesn't start OMG EATING ITSELF to survive], just don't do what my dad does and scoff six vanilla slices right before bed.

Um, you guys are probably SO going to slug me for this, but Trio (U.S. cable channel) has, this month, started airing episodes of "The Secret Life Of Us", which I've started to watch and really get into. Mind you, I've only watched maybe six or seven episodes so this is still an infant interest, but... well... there you go. (I'll be really depressed, BTW, if the channel decides not to air any more episodes once March is over.)

Anyway. You guys are awesome. Have you been told this before? This whole thread is a constant grinfest, from beginning to end. Well, maybe not when you're talking about tough times in your lives, but, well, you guys always manage to get out of that still ready to have a good time, to laugh, to smile, etc. Which is so cool.

I went back there in Dec last year, and I must say it was much less attractive than I'd remembered it. Even the Espy seemed loud and obnoxious.

i've only been back once since i sold the flat, and i was rather pleased to realise i didn't miss the place at all..

did anyone else see bill bailey on the glasshouse last night?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:30 (twenty years ago)

i had it on but i was doing one million seasonal job applications so i didn't really watch it to be honest. i sniggered at it a couple of times. i think ross noble is a cracker too.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:33 (twenty years ago)

ross noble is great. i also saw little britain for the first time last night. thought it were crap.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:34 (twenty years ago)

It was a particularly crap episode. The thing with the african-american priest guy was particularly cringeworthy.

― kate/thank you friendly cloud (papa november), Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:36 (twenty years ago)

its the wife's favourite show now...

the funny thing about the glasshouse was that dave and wosername were either staying out of it or not even trying to be funny against noble & baily.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:39 (twenty years ago)

Those two couldn't be funny if their lives depended on it.

Yeah, thats the one I'm talking about!

― kate/thank you friendly cloud (papa november), Thursday, 17 March 2005 01:59 (twenty years ago)

i sometimes find dave funny. i hate the "scripted" bits of that show. like make up a pretend newstory tha costello likes little boys and show a clip of him saying "I am very firm on this issue" type shit. also will anderson is the worst fashion victim.

the free for all bits i tend to like a lot.

i like it when dave hughes pretends to be someone in the news and they interview him at the end, it always makes me kack myself. last week he was a gorilla or a chimp or something? didn't see that bit last night though.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

he didn't do it last night. he didn't do anything last night. ross noble made a crack about how he was always so relaxed. i think he was stoned

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Hi Moley honey! *waves* How are you? You can't shush me, BTW. ;)

Adam: I did see that note in the front page of the show's TV Tome website, yes. Interestingly enough, Trio began airing the program right in the beginning of the second season (it's now in the middle of this season), which makes little sense to me. (Maybe it actually plans on airing this show from beginning to end once this month's over?) Honestly, I wouldn't count myself in as being a fan of the program until I see about twenty episodes of it, because I'm notorious for loving a program and then dropping it like that proverbial bad habit. (The only exceptions have been some food-related programs, anything involving Gordon Ramsay, and my favorite program, i.e. "Queer Eye".) I do really want to keep up with it, though; I want to actively involve myself with a program to the point where I actually care about the characters therein. I mean, I care about the QE Fab Five and most of their make-better subjects, but they're not fictional.

Anyway, I'm not looking for that program to give me a clear picture of what the "Real Australia" or "Real Melbourne" is supposed to be like. I have you guys to provide me with that service, i.e. Real People leading Real Lives! The one good thing the program's produced is that now I'm well-aware of what an Australian accent is like. I'm so used to seeing programs from Britain that I can recall those sorts of accents, but Australian ones are much harder for me because I'd never before seen a program from Australia and the only Real Australian I could think of was Gordon Elliott (who, coincidentally, is the executive producer of one of my favorite food-related programs, one featuring this restaurant owner from Georgia named Paula Deen).

Anyway, hi everyone! You guys are so awesome. Thanks for that!

― Surreal Addiction (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:37 (twenty years ago)

Anyone notice channel 10 madly backpedaling over the Australian Queer Eye? They promo'ed wildly for months leading up to it. After its shortlived and illfated run, the American version is back being touted as "The original and the best". Hiiii-larious.

― kate/thank you friendly cloud (papa november), Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

fortunately channel 10 looks like some brightly coloured clowns slinking around in a snowstorm with our reception. apparently all i need to do is move my arial a bit...but, nah.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:44 (twenty years ago)

So on another message board I frequent this question was put to me:

How about THE WHITLAMS? Kate, i'm sure you've heard of them, aren't they like christ in australia?

I'm finding it so hard not to mock them.

― kate/thank you friendly cloud (papa november), Thursday, 17 March 2005 02:57 (twenty years ago)

and do you tell them what we say and laugh at us?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

Ummm....no.

Sorry.

― kate/thank you friendly cloud (papa november), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

i think i've only ever heard one, maybe two whitlams songs. they sound a bit like al stewarts year of the cat but with witty newtown lyrics don't they?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:10 (twenty years ago)

you should probably take care how you use the word 'witty' in reference to the whitlams

Blimey, I go play the sims for half an hour and all hell breaks loose.

Hi Dee! Hi luna! Hi Mandee!

I wasnt so sure about Noble and Bailey on Glasshouse last night. You know what pissed me off? Why the hell did Will and Dave and whatserface haul out every REALLY tired, trite cliche about the english that they could? "haha poms... haha you dont wash... hahaha... POMS! haha... showers..." *dribble*. Bill Bailey had a flummoxed, almost unimpressed look on his face and I dont blame him. I mean jokes like that are fuckin' Footy Show quality, not the Glasshouse.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 17 March 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

I hope Bill's a bit livlier than last night when I see him live next weekend... which I didn't even twig is gonna be Good Friday - hows that work? I thought no theatre/movies was allowed on GF or xmas.

I wanted to make a film of it so I made him fix it on purpose *evil grin*.... then the repairman came over and HE got electrocuted as well! There he is stood there looking a right mess, all burnt, but he says "looks like its all done!" happily. Heh.

I only started re playing it today, I havent been playing many games in ages.

the Bez single "features" Shaun Ryder and does not have any particularly discernable Bez vocals (based on my one listen six months ago after buying it out of curiosity)

cd discounts is not easy to find. it is accessible if you are on the corner of little collins street and william st, and are heading west. it is on the north side of little collins st. it's only open on weekdays.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Saturday, 19 March 2005 07:37 (twenty years ago)

ta fella
it's the weekdays I aim to fill with sitting on floors and getting fingers dirty flipping through other people's discarded music so that's just tops!

(PS you going to FAP tomorrow? if not and want to essay some kind of cross-beer interface: rock music at Tote on Weds, or I will be trying to meet up w/ c'ltte/p.rocks sometime. but latter and former may coincide.)

― kit, Saturday, 19 March 2005 08:14 (twenty years ago)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Saturday, 19 March 2005 09:04 (twenty years ago)

― moley, Saturday, 19 March 2005 10:12 (twenty years ago)

everything I've ever heard about the internet is true! I'm the wrong gender and older men are trying to pick me up!

― kit, Saturday, 19 March 2005 14:31 (twenty years ago)

are you mongrels flirting with me?

I think all the mongrels are either out partying or gone sleeps.

Me? I dunno what my story is.

― kate/thank you friendly cloud (papa november), Saturday, 19 March 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

― moley, Saturday, 19 March 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

I just tried the 'Culture Arts and Literature' chatroom. No-one there. HAHAHAHA

― moley, Saturday, 19 March 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

Yes, 'tis the one and only Dee the Lurker here, though that nickname doesn't (obv) apply to me as far as this particular board goes. (If you're being facetious here, I'm playing along.) Anyway, I'm back from birthday party funnage (it was for the son of a good friend of mine, who turned one, the little thing), and am waiting the ten or so minutes before I have to go off to CHURCH! So... hm. Anyway. Shouldn't an actual mongrel or sheepfuxor start the next thread? Don't you think? Um... I nominate either Trayce or Di to start it. Whomever gets here next. You know, biased and all because they're both in my LJ friends list.

Trayce, hon, I do hopehopehope you get this awesome-sounding (for you!) job!! Kill 'em at the interview! I mean, not literally, because murder would kinda hinder your hiring chances at this firm, I would think. But, you know, figuratively. Metaphorically. And many other similar words that end in -ly.

I'm hyped up on sugar from the birthday cake, can you tell? ;)

Gotta go!

― Surreal Addiction (Dee the Lurker), Saturday, 19 March 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

I just think it would be a nice gesture if an honourary mogrelfuxor snipped the ribbon of the new thread. But you might respond, 'jeez, moley, get one life. It isn't important'. And I would respond, 'Well yes you have a point'.

― moley, Saturday, 19 March 2005 23:43 (twenty years ago)

Aw, hon. Awwwww. Um, would you mind if I went all fannish with this one? Because I have a couple of good ideas for a new thread title and I'm kinda going along the lines of my fannishness.

― Surreal Addiction (Dee the Lurker), Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:26 (twenty years ago)

go for it.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:44 (twenty years ago)

*waits with bated breath*

― gem (trisk), Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:44 (twenty years ago)

You like?

The mongrels are in the pocketbook, the sheepfuxors are by the bar...
