Thanks Eisbär!

Here is a photo from Saturday night:

I'm not sure what the conversation was about, but it looks engrossing!

― Flava Flavs got problems of his own! / Kate (papa november), Sunday, 29 May 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

i was gonna say that you look A LOT LIKE TRAYCE, kate ... then i clicked on the picture.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 29 May 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

and it is not a CLOVE cigarette, the BIGGEST shock of them all!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 29 May 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

She has a nice glass of apple juice though.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 29 May 2005 21:55 (twenty years ago)

i just clicked through the pics ... it looks like kate is smoking a cigarette in a shopping mall. YOU CAN STILL SMOKE IN SHOPPING MALLS DOWN THERE?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 29 May 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

Apple juice. Har har Gaz ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

I'd put mine up but... wel, I just havent yet ;P Mine didnt come out that great anyway.

Wait - clicked thru what pics? I only see one there.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:02 (twenty years ago)

I like how all you can see of Nick is his legs, he looks like he's passed out next to me.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:03 (twenty years ago)

when you click on kate's pic above, it takes you to the online gallery -- it has previous and next keys, to get to other pics in the gallery.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:04 (twenty years ago)

When I click on it it just goes to a pic with no links or galleries.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

it does? you can?

mine don't.

xpost same same

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

Ah! I see. I had images off, and when yo do that it doesnt have the html thingys.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

That isn't a pic of me at the shopping centre, that's my friend! And it's sort of in a foyerish bit, so it's not properly inside :)

― Flava Flavs got problems of his own! / Kate (papa november), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:30 (twenty years ago)

Oh god, I'm going to go and drink some bleach, I look awful.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Sunday, 29 May 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Heh, sorry. I can remove the photo if you like?

I don't think you look terrible, and Darren said to me soon after we left, "he doesn't look half as terrible as he makes out, I thought he'd look like Jabba the Hutt from what he was saying on LJ"

― Flava Flavs got problems of his own! / Kate (papa november), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:03 (twenty years ago)

Mikey, you look exactly like someone I went to school with, but obviously aren't.

Hooray, I ended up winning. I didn't get home until 3am last night and OMG WTF LOL, on the train from the airport, some guy who works for Qantas totally tried to chat me up! He admitted it - I asked him when he detrained - "Er, were you just trying to pick me up?". "Yeah, I was.".

Must have been the inner glow emanating from someone who's now $500 richer.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

what were you playing ed?

my new ipod is finally working. 50gb of music at my fingertips baby (and room to spare)!!

― haitch (haitch), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

you could go walkabout for 750 hours. thats a month non stop listening. leave it on when yr asleep.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

I still dont see the appeal of ipods, considering they : are a mugging risk; have a battery you can't replace when it dies fully; itunes wont let you move songs OFF yr ipod back to yr PC (which is real weird); itunes is confusing; creative Zens and other non Mac players are cheaper.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:52 (twenty years ago)

But, thats just me.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:52 (twenty years ago)

i think i would die without my ipod. that's not to say i wouldn't be equally as satisfied with a creative zen/iriver whathaveyou. also i got rid of the piece of crap white giveaway earbud headphones pretty quick (replaced them with sennheisers, 100% better sound) so i don't feel like it's too much of a mugging risk.

― gem (trisk), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

also you can get 3rd party software to move your songs back to your pc too.

― gem (trisk), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:56 (twenty years ago)

iTunes is great!! well I think so anyway.

also I try to avoid the mugging risk by using shitty old black earbuds in place of the white Apple ones, heh heh. people probaly think I'm listening to the "wireless".

― haitch (haitch), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

Haitch, I was playing a Scr*bble tournament. Most hilarious word played: WARDCORN. Flew up just for it as with flight costing $200, the $500 prize is MOSTLY PROFIT. Huzzah.

I want an ipod too, but only because I hate seeing people walking around with them. My boss bought one and delights in taunting me with it. "Can you help me with my ipod? I can't copy songs onto it", etc. I'd use crappy old earphones with it, to be less conspicuous. Though I like to think that I wouldn't get mugged because I got told the other day that I look like I can run really really fast. Which is not the case.

x-post gem.

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:57 (twenty years ago)

wot does wardcorn mean? well done though.

get an ipod/other small electronic music player ed, i guarantee you won't be sorry! incidentally, i've actually never heard of anyone getting mugged for their ipod... is it a very common occurrence?

― gem (trisk), Sunday, 29 May 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

get a big one though, my 20G is full and i'm completely kicking myself for not forking out the extra $100 or whatever for the 40G (60 weren't available when i got mine)

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 May 2005 00:01 (twenty years ago)

Happens in Englandland I think, quite a bit.

A wardcorn is a payment of corn in lieu of military service. So back in the day, they would have said "Right. You have to go to war now, buddy", and you would have given them lots of corn and said "Are you SURE?" and you'd be excused. That's a wardcorn.

At the moment my cheap MP3 discman goes well enough but it's bulky, and I didn't buy an ipod a while back because I was under the impression that my USB ports didn't work (I built my own computer and thought I'd fucked it up), except I recently found out they actually did. Ho hum. Soon, I shall get one.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 30 May 2005 00:05 (twenty years ago)

"wardcorn", effin' hell. that is some high-stakes scr*bble right there!

― haitch (haitch), Monday, 30 May 2005 00:24 (twenty years ago)

No, don't remove the photo!

Nah, I'm only hard on myself because I was almost skinny during my teens and my mind still thinks that way sometimes. Anyhow, it gives me impetus to exercise.

Where did you go to school, Edward?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 30 May 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha,I'm still laughing at my retarded expression.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:05 (twenty years ago)

you look animated/mid-sentence mikey

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:06 (twenty years ago)

Nah, I know it's not you, Michael, as I'm a Brisbanite, and the guy's name was Shawn, and he was (last I heard) trying to get into veterinary science, so unless you've changed your name and job, 'taint you.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:08 (twenty years ago)

So, my vile queenslander doppleganger.

It's weird, I photograph very differently. Here's me after I came back from camp.

you're right though you look like another person. i always look the exact same in photos, i think i just have the one dopey sort of expression. i just look slightly dopier when pissed.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:29 (twenty years ago)

hey gaz -- i downloaded and listened to "what's rangoon to you is grafton to me." so are you trying to say that in the 70s all you aussies were crazy acid-freaks who were driving cars when tripping?!?

;-)

it IS a great listen -- amazing that it was done in the late 70s, the sound quality is great!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:33 (twenty years ago)

I always look pissed! Even when I'm not :/ I look shaggy and dreadful in those satdee pics but I cant complain, I made sod-all effort to doll up to go out.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:34 (twenty years ago)

xpost - that is an awesome radio play. they replayed it for 30th anniversary of the station that made it a month or two ago, i hadn't ever heard it before and i was glued to the radio for 3 hours or something.

your hair always looks awesome trayce, what are you talking about. it's a cool colour at the moment.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

the best trayce pick is where you are wearing a RUGBY SHIRT (it's in the summer photos thread).

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

eisbar - yes. brings back...vague memories.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

wait... I dont own a rugby shirt... what the hell? What pic?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

Do you mean a red top with a number 4 on it?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:45 (twenty years ago)

Trayce, your hair always looks brilliant.

I always photograph differently, largely because from day to day I look like about nine different people anyway. "More image changes than a Minogue", somebody told me.

I feel like what I imagine a hangover feels like, even though I have consumed no alcohol this week.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

it LOOKS like a rugby shirt, but i thought so b/c of the collar. i guess i'm wrong :-o

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:48 (twenty years ago)

Oh you mean that most recent one of me and my dad? Nah, thats just a black woollen jumper that has a white collar sewn into it so it looks like Ive a shirt on underneath!

If thats the one you mean...

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

Looking at it now I can see why you thot rugby shirt, its all crumpled and sloppy looking haha =)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 01:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I will.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 30 May 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah -- another yank knows about 'em, and beat my prediction that they're ripe to be ripped off by a year:

when all the "art-punk" kids realize they're all ripping off Hunters and Collectors and respond accordingly :)...

yes, please! that would be much appreciated :-)

it also looks like dee knows who they are too -- she gave her thumbs up to "talking to a stranger" on an ILM thread.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 30 May 2005 04:31 (twenty years ago)

gaz -- the 2 hunters and collectors songs that i've downloaded thus far ("blind snake sundae" and "judas sheep") are INCREDIBLE. how is it that they never made much of an impression outside of australia?!?

-- Eisbär

Everything Hunters and Collectors did right up to 'Payload' is just mind blowing. Payload was supposed to be the record where, with Conny Plank producing, they finally hit the world stage - but that record just didn't sell, and sounded somehow thinner, vaguer and less convincing than their previous records (what was it, 2 albums and an EP before then...?). Oz Rock immortality awaited - they took an Australia-only direction after that, making matey rock ballads.

Shoulda come on Saturday night. A quiet respite, it was, from a hellish week for me.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 30 May 2005 06:20 (twenty years ago)

So it was good? Bugger it. I'll come to the next one. Or something.

We'll be back pretty soon, guaranteed.

I know they're not! Just had a baaaad weekend, that's all.

Did anyone see Let Loose Live? I've just read all 36 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary looking for words to express how superlatively bad it was, and failed.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 30 May 2005 06:53 (twenty years ago)

GOD, YOU KNOW WHAT, FUCK SCHAPELLE CORBY, IF THERE'S A 'DEATH PENALTY FOR SCHAPELLE' CHARITY I CAN DONATE TO, I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS, IT'LL BE OKAY NOT HAVING ANY FOOD OR HEAT IF THAT TRASHY BINT IS BLINDFOLDED AND TIED TO A POST SOONER.

*gulps for breath*

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 30 May 2005 06:59 (twenty years ago)

When I found out "Let Loose Live" was NOT a live concert by mid-90s group Let Loose, mostly forgotten for hits such as "Seventeen" and "Best In Me", it only made me slightly more keen to watch it. But I didn't.

(nb. I have the 20-volume version of the 2nd edition of the Oxford at hand, and placed back to back, it stands about 1.2m tall. I love the idea of someone going through 36 volumes of it)

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 30 May 2005 07:04 (twenty years ago)

Agreed. The less I hear about Stupidname Corby the better.

[xpost]

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 30 May 2005 07:22 (twenty years ago)

What I want to yell out really loudly is this:

YES, JUST BECAUSE THERE WAS REASONABLE DOUBT AND SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CONVICTED IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT SHE IS INNOCENT. SHE COULD WELL BE GUILTY FOR ALL YOU KNOW, SO QUIT IT, WANKERS, IT IS NOT A CRIME TO CONCEDE THE POSSIBILITY OF GUILT HERE.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 30 May 2005 07:47 (twenty years ago)

haha you guys cracked me up in the middle of the library

last night my mum rang me and i found myself in teh very unusual position of arguing that schappelle might be guilty and the conviction might be fair and mum going 'even if she is a drug smuggler, that poor girl'. usually mum and dad would be like 'drugs. throw away the key'. i blame a current affair.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 May 2005 07:58 (twenty years ago)

Hahah yes very good point gem! All these talk radio whingey aussies who hate drugs so much, all of a sudden its "let her go!" If she was a druggy looking guy, NO WAY would we have heard ANY of this shit. AARGH.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 08:28 (twenty years ago)

couldn't make it further than 5 mins into let loose live. JUST FUCKING AWFUL.

nooooooo holy grail is horrible. i love talking to a stranger too though.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 May 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

If people hate Holy Grail, people would hate me a LOT for admitting that I think there are two or three really good songs on their last album.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 30 May 2005 09:55 (twenty years ago)

actually to be honest it's really only the song holy grail that i object to. never heard their last album. i did see mark seymour play at the civic last year and i don't mind saying he was truly woeful.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 May 2005 10:01 (twenty years ago)

"Alligator Engine" and "Judas Sheep" are prob my faves. But I like all their stuff from that era, and the way their record covers looked was so perfect for the way they sounded - a sort of outback yobbo machine voodoo.

― moley, Monday, 30 May 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

A Mad Max thing, if you like.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 11:35 (twenty years ago)

Hey yeah! That's it. A bigger shot of mysticism than Mad Max perhaps.

― moley, Monday, 30 May 2005 11:37 (twenty years ago)

Theres that bit at the start of.. is it the Slab? with the businessman at the rural train station in his suit and hat and briefcase.. something about that scene, and its crappy 8mm film quality, I love. Also the bits in Talking to a Stranger with the dude in the weird furs in front of the campfire. Or is all that from the one clip? Im dim.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 11:44 (twenty years ago)

Yes, that's a Richard Loewenstein effort that clip I think??

― moley, Monday, 30 May 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

Aye, I believe it is yeah.

so last night the fucking possums are, ah, fucking in my ceiling. right above my head. i yell at them. i bang on the ceiling. they hiss and set off to gallop around the interior of the ceiling. then they come back for some post coital padding around, shifting, scratching.

i get out of bed, find an old single futon, am just heading to another part of the house in semi darkness when i see this rat. sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor.

its 2 in the morning and about 5 degrees and i'm in a tshirt and boxers. i get a spade and creep up behing it and *THWACK* *THWACK* *THWACK*. rat guts and shit and blood are everywhere and its still wriggling so i hit the fucker again.

then i shovel it up into a box and go outside to get rid of it.

then, like the macho guy i am, i wash the rat guts off my feet and get back into bed and let yvonne clean the floor.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 30 May 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

when she comes back to bed neither of us can sleep. we're laying there and i hear the fucking possums again. yvonne reaches for my hand, tells me to calm down - its just her stomach rumbling.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 30 May 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

Last night's Media Watch was very insightful.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 30 May 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

Basically her family has signed exclusivity deals with Nine and 2GB in Sydney, which explains why Nine's coverage is so insufferably fucking vapid, and why people like John Laws [2UE] have been tearing into her.

The rest of the media was nice before the trial because no journalist wanted to be blamed for her potential death sentence.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 30 May 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 30 May 2005 22:17 (twenty years ago)

Did anyone else hear about how Hinch has torn into Graeme Kennedy? Declared, barely as his body was cold, that he was gay and died of AIDS. Why the fuck does Hinch always kick dead people like this? He did it with that Hookes fellow as well. Whats his damage?

It is now being suggested that this time he was well out of order and not at all right, and there's medical certs and tests to show he's lying, in which case I wonder, can one be done for posthumous slander?

www.hinch.net is hilarious. Its his blog. Its a cack. Nick wrote him a rude email last night! I couldnt believe it.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

(not that I care less if Kennedy DID die of AIDS, in fact it is a damn shame he felt he had to hide it if he was gay. But geezum.)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 May 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 30 May 2005 23:54 (twenty years ago)

The Derryn Hinch diet book is a great read.

― Sasha (sgh), Monday, 30 May 2005 23:56 (twenty years ago)

on crikey they call hinch the talking headline or something funny like that

also you can't defame someone who is dead as the compensatory damages are for loss of reputation and social standing, which can't be characterised as an injury to a dead person

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 00:01 (twenty years ago)

Yeah which is precisely why I think Hinch waits til people are dead and then blabs. What a nob. I mean I kind of liked him, in relative terms compared to Lawsy, Price et al anyway - but this is kind of cunty.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

yeah it seems petty pointscoring doesn't it. while i don't necessarily subscribe to any kind of revisionism where people will only speak in glowing terms of crappy people simply because they are dead..... realistically who gives a flying fuck what kennedy's sexual persuasion and/or cause of death was? he was really talented, valued by lots of australian folk and is a sad loss. the end.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 00:04 (twenty years ago)

also gaz's rant about his furry rodenty mates in the ceiling just cracked me up in the 'sshhhhh gem' library again. lucky i work here or i think they might ban me for being too rowdy.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

Hinch is a liar and a charlatan anyway. He put out a book a few years back, but about half of it was written by someone else, but he got the sole author credit for it, and thought thanking the co-author in the liner notes for "contributions" would be enough. It wasn't, but the lawyers got called off when the co-author realised he'd see more money in the end if he just shut up and let it lie.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 00:16 (twenty years ago)

realistically who gives a flying fuck what kennedy's sexual persuasion and/or cause of death was?

The problem I have with Hinch is not that he calls people out without their permission, not that he does so immediately after a person's death, not that he alleges things about people that may not be true, not that he lacks consideration for colleagues who may be grieving, and not that he does all this for the sole purpose of furthering his own career, but the way he'd get in an open-front shirt and blob around a dance floor.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

Every week they have a different host. This week it was William McInnes, who actually did a decent job of trying to make his sketches fly. I even laughed at a couple of his deliveries. Can't imagine Williams being able to do the same.

Shaun Micallef's hosting one soon, which will make the whole show just completely cool by osmosis.

don't sweat edward maaate. we've got the research presentation team to come in and COMPLETELY do over your presentation. fistly the muscley curly haired bloke is going to take a look at your desk and make comment on your choice of words. make sure they're friendly and jokey enough while still importing the all important know-how. then the two chicks are going to lean over your desk in midriff tops that don't show too much and show you how to hold that pencil properly. then, for the finale mate, i'm going to take my shirt off.

how's that sound? grreat.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

I'm not worried about my presentation skills at all, I actually can work an audience really well - I've got a good voice for academic presentation if nothing else and I know the value of an exaggerated gesticulation. When I did my work-in-progress report, I had them eating out of my hand and I was sitting down! I'm doing THIS one standing up in front of a projection screen holding a clicker.

Problem is: I don't think I've done enough work, and can I get into slick presentation mode when only TWO PEOPLE are watching, three if my housemate comes along (she promised!).

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

No ISP in its right mind would really go for that on that level tho Adam - thats why that stupid internet censorship bill never went anywhere. From a financial and technical POV it just isnt practical at all.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

True Trayce, but when you consider entire industries could be wiped out because of this new mass piracy, anything could happen.

I honestly believe internet piracy will stop in a few years, when entertainment firms, governments and ISPs will collude to smash anyone caught doing it. It appears to be the only way to save these industries.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 02:35 (twenty years ago)

Personally I think the companies could have saved themselves by showing some fucking initiative back when all the piracy started, and launched early services selling music etc at competitive prices. Bit late now.

"through the wonders of technology, we've learnt new songs without actually getting together"

they played three sets and an encore, but the first set and a half was solo stuff - Trish played Trish songs, then Jodi came on and played on one of them, then Trish played on a Jodi song and left, then Jodi played Jodi songs. (same in the second set except Trish came back and they played solo & Clouds stuff together at the end. then the last set & encore was all Clouds stuff incl. the new songs. and Wichita Lineman.) free gig in a suburban pub.

You say that as if its the piracy rooning the industries. And thats bollock-knockers. If they stopped putting ridiculous copy protection on everything, stopped ripping consumers off price wise and stopped bleeding their artists dry, THEN I might have sympathy for the record industry (har! I made a funny).

A guy in APC's letters made a great point t'other week. He said "if I bought an album on vinyl, then again on casette, then again on CD, why the hell should I now buy it AGAIN on mp3?". And hes right. Show some respect to consumer loyaly, let us trade up, like we can upgrade with software. I'm not shelling out $30 for a new format every 5 years, its ridiculous.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 05:54 (twenty years ago)

Trayce: You say that as if its the piracy rooning the industries. And thats bollock-knockers.

Not at all, but we've got to remember this is actually theft. Shoplifting on a massive scale.

Trayce: If they stopped putting ridiculous copy protection on everything, stopped ripping consumers off price wise and stopped bleeding their artists dry, THEN I might have sympathy for the record industry

Hey I'm not asking you to side with the industry [christ knows I don't], I'm just saying what I think will happen. Regardless of what anyone says it is theft, and laws exist to prevent theft.

If you nick a CD from the shops you get handcuffed and charged. If you download it off the web the worst you'll get is a cease & desist letter from your ISP, and the chances of even that are remote.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:03 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I see yer point there. 'sthe internets fault really innit? It started off as this big free for all and everyone got used to it before anyone thought to lock it down to a pay model. Which is a good thing in some ways, but eh.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 06:07 (twenty years ago)

Also I realise you could once tape records off your mates and shows off the telly and nobody ever cared, but because what you're getting now is a perfect replica, it's an entirely different case. EMI has even said in so many words that it doesn't mind people making analogue copies of its music, but it draws the line at digital.

Again I'm not siding with these donkey-raping arse giblets, just stating the case, and why I think getting stuff off the web won't be an option muchy longer.

Sony's a funny one. It used CopyControl on all its music for a while, then realised the music arm was working against the interests of its electronics arm and suddenly did away with it.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 09:15 (twenty years ago)

The key here is to ask "why do people download stuff for nothing?". When it comes to music the case maybe is grey, sure some people just want stuff for nothing.

But the interesting one is TV shows. Australia is apparently one of the bigger countries for downloading illegal TV and movies online. Why? Because we bloody well dont get any of it here when we want it! Some shows never appear at all (hellooo Futurama, Family Guy, etc). Give the people what they want at a good price and they WILL pay for it - thats clear from DVD box set sales etc. People WILL buy CDs proper much of the time. Those who'll just take for nothing, well we cant do much about that anyway.

Computer software's a different beast though, I think. Its often very expensive, and the licensing fees and agreements on some stuff is ridiculous. I love photoshop but I just cant afford to buy it. I dont know how to justify using a warez copy of anything I might do (and wouldnt if I ran a business, to be honest) but yeah... licensing is inflexible and confusing and unfair, so pirating ahoy.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 09:17 (twenty years ago)

Prefuckingcisely.

Our networks buy shows and shelve them to keep the other networks away. That's fucked.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 June 2005 12:56 (twenty years ago)

Personally I think legislating for networks to provide a certain level of service isn't a patch on the pressure mass pirating can put on them. Nine hangs onto new Frasier for three years, but if it knows the whole country's downloading it, the network will have to get its arse into gear or lose huge ratings.

Haha Col you were accused of anti-semitism? Thats insane =)

I got accused of racism by ethan (trife) but apparently he does that to everyone anyway, hes the Calumn of P.C. All I did was say something like "yo yo, sup, OMGWTF" or some similar l33t silly online speak thing, and he was all "how dare you patronise ebonics", I mean shut the hell up, you nob.

Ebonics??

Man this has got me thinking about people's skin colour now. I don't ever think about people's skin colour.

On a related note [the relation being perceived abnormality], my mum was asking me loads about a friend I have at uni called Phil. She gets all excited every time I get a friend, I dunno why. She has mental issues. Anyway, she was grilling and grilling and grilling, and she asked if he's with someone. You know, romantically. I said yes, but his partner's in the US. She asked why. I said I think he works there. She went blank for a second, then said "...he?" I said "Yeah he works there I think." Since then she hasn't mentioned Phil once.

What's yours? Mine is accusing people of not having a psychodynamic approach to musical analysis. It really cheezes me off, that, cos the discussion remains very superficial and value judgement oriented. These arguments usually start when I imply that some artist's aesthetic derives from early, traumatic childhood bedwetting incidents or whatever, and everyone goes, 'is this guy an idiot, is he for real? And the answer to both questions is of course, 'yes!'.

nah i would be totally ecologically sustainable, eschewing even the use of renewable energy for being mobile and also the problem of end-user disposal and lack of product stewardship and i would use public transport all the time. you know i could afford a taxi if i needed to go anywhere i couldn't go on the train.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 2 June 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

apparently for every successful US band there is a filipino mimic. another favourite of mine is vsj & co who are the filipino beegees. funny thing is they cop the image and musical style but they write their own songs.

just like australia then.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 2 June 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

which reminds me. the rest of the world is proving yet again that when it comes to our bands, they have no damn idea. the universal praise for the really-not-that-great architecture album is making me scratch my head, as is the apparently not insubstantial interest in the completely wretched sinking citizenship.

Normally, pretty good - but it is susceptible to bad weather (cloud, high wind) and to things blocking the dish like trees. Also, you usually share babdwidth with others on many of the plans - kinda like you do on cable.

i like that aih album but it was nowhere near as good as i was expecting after the superrave it got on pitchfork. actually i only listened to it 3 or 4 times after i bought it and it has been relegated back to the 'maybe later' pile.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 2 June 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

they veered between great and horrible several times

this is how they've always been, and why i find them so frustrating (and the blanket praise so baffling).

“My advice to any young Australian writer whose talents have been
recognised would be to do steerage, stow away, swim, and seek London,
Yankeeland, or Timbuctoo – rather than stay in Australia till his
genius turns to gall, or beer. Or, failing this – and still in the
interests of human nature and literature – to study elementary anatomy,
especially as it applies to the cranium, and then shoot himself
carefully with the aid of a looking glass.”

Well, I'm back from shopping, and saucepans werent on the menu (har!) in the end. Target only sold big box sets of pots n pans I didnt really need, especially not at $300 :( So I got loads of knickers, a jumper, a skirt, and a really cool wooden gold painted Buddha! And some cool chinese box-drawer style bookends. Target has a range of cool Chinese furniture and nik-naks!

The Buddha is now sitting serenely in a chinese enamel tray on my coffee table, guarding the remote controls. You can fit a cigarette into his zen-curled fists. This somehow seems a bit sacreligious.

new issues really! there was a Reid Fleming cross-over one-shot about two years ago, but two issues of a new series from Image are out now (the old numbering is retained inside, so they're 1 and 2 on the front but really 33 and 34 or something).

i once saw the scientists c.1982 to an audience of about 5. luckily one of the audience was an incredible dancer. are the drones good? i was disappointed with the record.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 3 June 2005 08:23 (twenty years ago)

i haven't heard the record but i enjoyed them live when i saw them. that was a while ago though. some of my mates rave about the record. they are of dubious taste though.

Hello all, I'm up and I should really do some housework, as I usually do Satdee mornings, instead of farting about on this thing. Yes.

Hows yer head, Ads? Champers equals NASTEH hangovers you know ;)

DOH of the week for me: I was v v sick yesterday as y'all know, but I'm sure you can all guess WHY. (Dont start, I dont wanna hear it...) anyway I dont know why drinking a reasonable amount made me so viciously ill - I was gastroey from both ends and had a migraine, so maybe it was something else? - anyway I had called in sick, and last night Dom (who of course I also work with) called us to ask if we wanted a lift to friends party. Nick blithely said "oh nah we want to rest we're still getting over all the drinking last night".

GAH.

Details of the Mac please Stuch.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 4 June 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

iMac G5. 17". 1024MB RAM. DVD/Burner. I went to have a look and inquire about educator discounts

Holy Christ, this is a revelation.

Yeah, I may be the dad you don't need, but I'll call you a smegjellied asscarrot in the bargain.

Don't make me come over with my PE teacher whistle!

I... don't get that last bit, but the Mac sounds nice.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:04 (twenty years ago)

At the FAP last week, Trayce was talking about how she sometimes overindulges and how I give her hell afterwards. I reiterated how much of a mental bollocking I'd give her if she were to continue.

Hahah, I can see why I've developed high blood pressure.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:06 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I thought she meant her other half.

Damn I wish I could've gone to that FAP. 'Er indoors went away this weekend instead and I had to stay home to finish an assignment.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

xpost i dunno, coming up with all those cool neologisms must let off a bit of steam?

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:12 (twenty years ago)

Hahah, sitting here on my Mac, listening to Thievery Corporation, attempting to cut a demo short film, what a yuppie wanker I am becoming.

Yeah, it was really pleasant. Trayce's and her other half are great value, as were Kate and Darren.

Hahah, Cait's watching 'The Empty Child'. All I can hear from my little office nook is 'Muuuuummy..,'.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

I used to fire off some amazing rants. This is all I can find of my empire of piss and bile, posted on someone else's blog. I think I was mad at some author and the kind of people who read him...

The world isn't going to end. You aren't apocalyptic harbingers, here to save the world through your mescaline-fuelled LAN orgies or body modification performance art rave parties. You're not releasing 'digital, mental virii' into the population. You're not 'hacking the system'. You're not bringing forth 'the next stage of human evolution'.

A couple of years ago, you did a little too much Acid and Shrooms, caught way too much sun at an Earthcore or Burning Man and figured that you're a couple of rungs above the rest of us, that we're all fascist workdrones, steadily crunching Gaia's fruit into our combine harvester mouths, wanting another Hitler to assign us annihilation duties. Thus, you ran back to the safety of your college dorm or university campus and figured out a way to stay there as long as possible whilst expressing yourselves.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 4 June 2005 06:26 (twenty years ago)

ha! that's gold. you could maybe start up a service coming up with personalised insults for other people who aren't very articulate (e.g. me) to use on their enemies

haha yes! mikey OTFM!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Saturday, 4 June 2005 07:05 (twenty years ago)

on the other hand, yes - idealism and personal commitment are things i value. its just the possibilities for expressing them have been shrunk to the well off.

Now I remember, it was Warren Ellis, an obnoxious SF comic writer knob.

i got to the jb at erina (wife wanted to buy a wetsuit) but they had no fall box. i got like 7 discs for $25 though. i am happy.

yeah stutch...my life has been full of these folks. lucky i went through on the back of whitlam or i'd be...i'd be...fuck knows.

you might be like me. i currently owe ~$15000 and counting. estimate $25,000 by the time law is done and dusted. i'm not an annoying scifi writer though.

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 4 June 2005 07:17 (twenty years ago)

i quite liked - ah - transmetropolitan? i have read very little ellis. lazarus churchyard was ok. i see mikey as more a garth ennis guy.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Saturday, 4 June 2005 07:20 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Gem, you might actually make a useful contribution to society.

I'm all for art. I'm all for the transformative power of an artistic statement, be it a poem, a play, a sculpture or a painting...

...but writing misanthropic visions of the future featuring Hitler's secret porn stash and kids having Hello Kitty tentacle sex ain't making anyone's day brighter or poignant.

Oh, I have quite a bit of Ellis's optimistic spacey stuff, but yeah, I have all the Preacher TPB's and I've memorised the bit where Jesse, the hero, is visited by the ghost of John Wayne and recounts his lessons about being a man.

I desperately want a 'Fuck Communism' lighter. I'm told they actually exist.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 4 June 2005 07:24 (twenty years ago)

how about a bag of old clothes nailed to the wall in a plastic bag mike?

or a clothes rack painted gold?

If they are nice clothes, then of course, yes.

i enjoy preacher immensly. immensly i say. i am drunk. immensly isn't spelt like that is it?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Saturday, 4 June 2005 07:35 (twenty years ago)

no but i like the way it incorporates 'sly' when you spell it that way

yeah i thought LAN parties were all about the nerds drinking too much club lemon, not mescaline and orgies.

Hahah we were up til 3am, Nick playing GTA:SA and he put a cheat on so he could fly copters and planes anywhere without being chased by cops. He managed to fly and land right on top of that huge mountain, then he got into some hippy van, and drove it off the side of the mountain on purpose. Was also landing copters on top of casinos and getting shot at my missiles in area 69. Hilarious shit.

Today I am going to bake things - maybe a cinnamon tea bun, some cakes, or something. Last night I baked big plump chicken drummies in garlic and herbs, with roast veg. Mmm.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 5 June 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

I went to buy Mac toys, but they didn't have any. Boo.

I've done the laundry, now I'll try to do some work.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 5 June 2005 21:59 (twenty years ago)

online site? what's wrong with a computer shop?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Sunday, 5 June 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

Dell? my sis bought a laptop from them and it seems ok.

― haitch (haitch), Sunday, 5 June 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

i have a dell desktop and even though they seem totally and utterly overpriced it's the most stable machine i've *ever* used.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Sunday, 5 June 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

Online sites often have online-order discounts... plus, I can get something shipped out to me without having to bloody well go to a store.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 5 June 2005 23:03 (twenty years ago)

Dells are great... but not cheap. if I do this I dont wanna spend more than 2k$

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 5 June 2005 23:03 (twenty years ago)

oh i would never buy a dell again. stability isn't enough to make it worth doubling the price of my PC.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Sunday, 5 June 2005 23:22 (twenty years ago)

Trayce, just get a fucking Mac. All your nerd games run on it, prettier too. So you can build cities and smack little people around a house all you want and still have something THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE MAJOR SURGERY EVERY DAY JUST TO GET IT TO RUN.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Sunday, 5 June 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

Clarification - I love your nerd games.

Also, I just dont like Macs.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 6 June 2005 00:07 (twenty years ago)

Also #3 Ive never had to stuff around to get my current PCs to run, they run fine and never crash!!

I justr want a new lappy cos the one I bought can't be upgraded any further - I dont need one at all, I have a shit hot new desktop machine... but... erh... I really shouldnt buy one. I'm just what-ifing.,

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 6 June 2005 00:08 (twenty years ago)

i dislike both macs and laptops. but the reality of needing a lappy for live music stuff is a pressing issue.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Monday, 6 June 2005 00:16 (twenty years ago)

i love my mac laptop, i take it everywhere i go. it's like a pet. only whiter.

Like Moccona. ;)

This Futureheads album is nice.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 6 June 2005 02:23 (twenty years ago)

i wouldn't know how to change the carburettor. i'm happy with the automatic.

you know what i have been trying to work out how to do though, that i'm sure is very easy but i just cannot find the relevant keyboard shortcut. you know how you press alt + a to get the table menu open in word on a pc. i CANNOT work out how to do this from the keyboard on my mac, it's very frustrating as i like to use lots of tables in my exam notes.

A Swanston St to the PC's Smith St.

I know that these days I'm much less likely to be hit up by junkies or have to dodge fatassed thriftstore guerilla uni chicks on Swanston Street.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 6 June 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

...so you bought a Mac.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 6 June 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

Also, I'm learning to prefer consoles for game playing over PCs. I mean, my Morrowind experience on the Xbox compared to Cait's attempts to run it on her riced out laptop was so much nicer. Sure, there's not that many hardcore RPG's or God Games out there for the consoles, but there's a lot to love.

Yes, I bougnt a Mac. I'm surprised myself.

Widgets are pretty fucking cool, though.

Nail. Head.

I bought Morrowind for my PC and I got it up to two frames per second before giving up. A year later I got an Xbox and Morrowind for it, and so far I've clocked up well over 300 hours.

I simply cannot be fucked trying to get games working on a PC anymore. I'm not a high-definition junkie. I want to sit in a beanbag when I'm playing games. Desks are for working. etc etc.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 6 June 2005 03:30 (twenty years ago)

Meh I dunno, the games I like are fine on my pc.

But then again I *do* have a P4 3ghz with 1gb RAM and a Radeon 9700 256mb video card.... ;P

How do you do freelance? I don't know what I could freelance in if nobody's currently willing to pay me for what I'm good at.

I'm just amazed that nobody will give me a job, or even interview me. There's nothing overtly wrong with me. I'm starting to wonder if I emanate vibes of uselessness.

Oh good. So today so far we've run out of money, I've dropped a glass bottle of oily shit all over the floor, and my wife's grandmother is about to die.

its really hard (i find anyway) to think outside the old see a job, apply for a job thing. to think through entrepreneurial activity and have the self confidence to go on with it is a bit daunting.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 6 June 2005 04:45 (twenty years ago)

tis very true.

it's just occurred to me i've done more actual work in the last two months of this new job than i did in the entire previous year in the old one.

Yeah. I'm pretty much out of self-esteem now, which I think is a prerequisite for selling oneself.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 6 June 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

well, it's a useful bridge twixt jobs and i'm glad i learnt the skill while holding onto another job.

I have hideous self-esteem issues too, I just needed the money at the time and allowed myself a little psychotic break where I convinced myself I could do all the things I said I could.

Get this, right:

I was just at Coles getting the groceries. I put a few of my things on the conveyor belt, and this old woman behind me just started chucking her stuff on straight after it.

I hadn't finished, I still had like two bags left to put on there, so I said "I haven't finished yet." She said "no, no, don't worry, it's all right." But she kept pushing her stuff up against mine, leaving me literally no room to put the rest of my things.

So I said again: " I need this space." Again she replied "it's okay, it's fine, don't worry." And pushed her stuff up closer to mine. Again.

So, with one swift action, I grabbed all her groceries and pushed them off the conveyor belt.

I swear the nutjobs are out this month.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 6 June 2005 05:39 (twenty years ago)

Thanks Mikey. It'll be utterly awesome when she dies, she's spent the past three stroke-afflicted years pleading for people to end her life.

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 6 June 2005 05:42 (twenty years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 6 June 2005 05:48 (twenty years ago)

I don't know if anything went on the floor but I assume so. Her orange juice certainly ended up worse off.

(FWIW, lazy as I might seem, I really do fucking walk everywhere - its 20 mins to my local Coles, and I have to walk there and back with all my grocery bags, its 10 mins to the tram at eithr end and I walk that - I used to walk 20 mins to chapel st to get the tram to richmond too. I could do more, I know. But I dont drive everywhere, hey)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 02:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm not trumpeting that walking is better than driving - sometimes I hate it and want to die when its 9pm, raining and cold and I still have to walk from the tram - but I also cant understand how any of you afford cars. I cant afford my life now, and I dont have one!

A life?

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

my car doesn't cost that much, i own it outright, rego/insurance around $600/year and petrol about $10/week. i get it serviced once a year, that costs $150. only had to do expensive repairs once in 9 years, that was last year and it was abuot $900 all up.

i get the bus and train a fair bit too but i don't like PT at night as it's a bit creepy getting home from the busstop (it's a few streets away). if you don't live on a tramline or close to the city like me in perth having a car is unavoidable. if i lived in a bigger city (with better transport infrastructure) i most definitely wouldn't have one.

also personally i don't think voting a labor govt in would help too much. (a) public transport is entirely state-funded and (b) labor govts are a bit notorious for making fuckups with public infrastructure.

I didn't pay for my car and I don't have to pay for insurance or rego, so i've got it pretty easy, although on Austudy i can barely afford petrol. I'm the kind of person who shouldn't have a car so I have to walk everywhere.

i'm enjoying walking far more now that i'm a bit healthier and fitter. i've barely had to use it in the last few weeks, which has been nice. but when it comes to things like my fortnightly grocery shop and rehearsal i can't avoid it (nor do i feel any great desire to do so).. when i remember how i used to walk from st kilda road to the supermarket in toorak and back, i am amazed i ever bothered. it's no wonder i was so thin back then.

Hmmm...Adam, well I just got back from Melbourne as you know and was staying with a girl who likes the same kind of treats as me, so uhhh....I had a bit of a blowout, but since I've been back I've been attempting to be good. I think I need to get back into the protein powder because I just get soooooooo hungry all the time. Lately I'm just eating way too much bread to try to fill my tum.

― You fondle my trigger then you blame my gun / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

specifically, I'm trying to cut out red meat, mostly because I don't like it. So more chicken and occasionally mince. I eat lots of veges but through the day I get ravenous and really tired. Also tend to have problems with sweet tooth of an evening.

I look back at photos of myself in 1998 and weep. Sure, I wore the same set of clothes for nigh on a year, but I looked shithott. I should start colouring my hair again. Fuck, I was almost thin.

I'm eating SHIT lately and I need to break the cycle. It's so hard for me to get up earlier and make a decent breakfast and lunch for myself, all I want to do when I get home is DIIIEEEE.

The only real solution to body woes, however, as much as it pains me to begin with (once i'm going i'm alright) is eeeexcercise.

Oh, yes, I know what you mean. I do the same thing, even now, and it sucks.

I was raised to finish everything on my plate, or risk getting into trouble. It's a really shitty short-sighted thing to do to kids, because they grow up thinking they have to eat everything they're given.

If we ever do have kids, no way will we get them into that habit.

― I HAVE NO MIND RO BOT I-HAVE-NO-MIND I HAVE NO MIND (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 03:42 (twenty years ago)

The other bad thing is eating loads at dinner. You don't burn anything off when you're asleep, it settles and turns into fat. This is why nutritiony-type-people recommend having a full breakfast.

― I HAVE NO MIND RO BOT I-HAVE-NO-MIND I HAVE NO MIND (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, it was my mother who did it and now she sees how bad it was. Cause all the other kids in the family could handle it, but I couldn't. I was in Chapel St last week and ate somewhere that offered free soup when you ordered a meal, I didn't want it, and it tasted foul but it took all the strength I could muster to not finish it because I had this overwhelming feeling of guilt, almost as though I might offend them if I didn't finish it.

― You fondle my trigger then you blame my gun / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

re: eating all yer given: b-b-but: don't you give yourself you food now?
we try and make the kids eat it all. we also try not to give them too much. i think its too simplistic to say those things from childhood - - > all our problems. (of course they don't get into "trouble" if they don't - just no dessert.)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

Yep, old habits die hard. Today I was a little hungry, so I got out a couple of breadrolls. Now I really only needed one, I wasn't super hungry and yet I made two up, "just in case". Naturally I forced both down, I don't even know why. The worst part is I was perfectly aware of what I was doing.

"We made this record with not very much money, lots of faith and complete surrender. The ever expanding comminity of allies who surround me - including my musicians, manager, producer, booking agents, record label, accountants, lawyers, fans, family and friends - have the unenviable task of having to trust the intuition of an eccentric young Australian who often leads them into unknown waters on strange adventures. Their bravery and loyalty is what keeps this unique machine in motion"

laksa tastes good but always makes me feel a bit queasy. i think it's from all the copious amounts of oil from the coconut milk and wotnot.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

i think because i use the lower fat coconut milk it's not quite as rich. With coconut cream, it's a killer and apparently coconut fats are the hardest to break down.

Normally the ABC'd launch a few good dramas but it can't afford to. There was an article in the paper a couple of weeks ago, with Balding [?] saying he'd asked the government for more money so it could make something that wasn't panel shows.

Let Loose Live was axed today.

Hahah already? BRILLIANT.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

We did miss the start though, because Seven's now & next data is fucked up and has been for about a week. Idiots.

Yeah Trayce, gorrrrrrrn. Not even a third week.

Ive been telling Adam he should get into comedy writing for fnever, but he keeps saying its too haaaard ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

I gotta say - even tho shows are shit and get axed, how can you axe ANYTHING after one show!? Ratings aside, give it time to get noticed ferfuxsake!

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:32 (twenty years ago)

If it was too hard, there'd never be any new comedy.

If you can write a few scripts and do a little home production to show what you could do by yourself, people start paying attention.

Shit, I'm thinking of shooting some mockumentaries around my neighbourhood and sending them places.

It's not just tv I'm thinking here - sometimes I go a little mad and start sending columns to the Age, for the Metro section. Haven't been published, but who's to say I won't ever?

(PS. These were proper columns, comedic, not calling for the rounding up and execution of all gypsies or anything).

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

I should sign up again at C31 and get a foot in the door. This "career" what I've got now is fucked.

And yeah, I should send columns to newspapers too, see what happens. I was going to apply to contribute to the uni rag but forgot.

― I HAVE NO MIND RO BOT I-HAVE-NO-MIND I HAVE NO MIND (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:39 (twenty years ago)

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:40 (twenty years ago)

I watched the first bit of Last Man Standing, it was unfathomably dire.

Next up: a sitcom starring those two cunts off My Restaurant Rules, I bet.

You're right Mikey. Just don't know where to start.

the uni paper might be a great place to start adam. looks good on the cv, not too hard to get submissions accepted, fairly loose editorial requirements, choose whatever topic you feel most ranty about at any given time, use swear words as much as you like. i dunno about your uni but ours is always keen for new writers so i bet they would be happy for you to submit something.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

- submit short stories to competitions
- working on some columns on things that shit you.

I wanna see a drama that's removed from the innercity, but isn't fucking Blue Heelers either.

Have a bunch of mates who aren't trying to get laid, they're just trying to get by - a coupla corporate drones working out on the edge of town, a teacher in a cruddy school, someone in hospital or a care facility. Their stories intertwine, there's opportunities for humour, everything does have to be so fucking bohemian all the damn time.

Oh she's fucking ludicrous. Take away her connections and there is NOTHING. Her parents are tv types and grandad was an old trot.

I could write a novel based on a bunch ov "us-ish" guys like that, y'all. Or a series of short stories. Totally easy. Screenplay? That iI cant do, but stories I can.

I had a really good canberran uni/crusty/swamprock/punk/goths/alcoholic losers/kids from the bush who moved into town group house story happening some years back, but it went to shit. I got to personal with it, and it started to stab me with little knives. Its a long story. I mean the story behind the uh... story.

Where was I.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 9 June 2005 02:51 (twenty years ago)

i find descriptive passages very tedious to write. i like the ellroy approach where a descriptive paragraph = "dog"

therefore anything i write tends to be constant jump cuts to new locales/characters.

The sensation of being in front of a group of people who look at you with respect and are interested in what you're saying is incredible.

But you don't get that as a teacher very often, so eh. You can always use your education degree for something else.
