Woohoo! Thanks Ian Riese-Moraine.

You're welcome! I'd like to say thank you to the Situationists Internationale for producing wonderful screeds by telegram and sending them to Hungary, China, Moscow, and the Sorbonne.

should we increase mongrel thread border patrols to stop these pesky illegals?

i'm thinking some kind of holding camp out in the wilds. maybe on the aja dante board.non mongrels have to wait and post til their applications are processed.

Whoa, I just saw lunas tits. I don't think they're real...but they might be.

I wonder if she's as keen to show her bits in real life.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 23 June 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

Ha! Well I am desperately trying to find a model who is willing to get their gear off, but that wasn't what I had in mind. Really just pondering why it is we're willing to say or do things online we might never do in real life.

we used to have andy capp fries in the vending machine in an NYC office where i used to work. if i knew that y'all were so fond of them, i would've remembered to grab some and then i woulda mailed them to y'all!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 24 June 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

is andy capp big over there tad?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 24 June 2005 00:35 (twenty years ago)

i just checked the vending machine at my current office -- it has goobers, raisinettes, and poptarts! anyone want some?!?

mully: andy capp comics? not really, though the strip runs in just about every paper i've read.

andy capp fries -- i see the andy capp fries being sold all over the place and for as long as i can remember, so someone must be buying them.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 24 June 2005 08:10 (twenty years ago)

get 'em started early, that's the ticket.

I didn't think it sounded like me either when I wz editing the files! probly partly I was a bit nervous cos of being out of practice, partly I talk a lot quieter and shyer these days generally.

I like it when Marky starts trying to sing properly near the end of the song! crooning "that's the way... ay-ee-ay-ay" &c before giving up and just muttering. I heard the DOSE track exactly once, on Rage, but the first I ever heard him was probably on the first Coldcut album. He's such a slut.

antipodean opinions on grime: Trayce is scared of ILM cos of the "...in 2005" thread!

what do you like on tzadik kate? i find their discography mindboggling and to be honest i tend to like the more populist zorn (the big gundown, spillane). that said i have the archery box. which i have never made it through.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Saturday, 25 June 2005 06:08 (twenty years ago)

Eyvind Kang, Mark De Gli Antoni's Horse Tricks is probably my favorite experimental album of all time, Yoshihide's Cathode and Anode albums. Interestingly I don't really like Zorn's stuff much.

I'm kind of proud to say I'm no Mike Patton fan either which seems to be how most people my age come by the label.

― Making off like a lucky bandit / Kate (papa november), Saturday, 25 June 2005 06:13 (twenty years ago)

i think we might have those yoshide discs at work. i'll have a listen. i have never heard a patton record that isn't fnm.

Went to my boss and her partner's 50th birthday dinner last night. I already had five glasses of wine and then I was asked if I would give a speech.

Which I did.

It was surprisingly OK, even if right at the end, when I was going to say something touching, I just slurred out "I love you guys". People applauded, a bit!

hooray mully! played at the right time, i dont think anything can top 'i like to move it'. and to think i even despised it when it first came out. i was probably too busy listening to afghan whigs.

skiing in thredbo was a a blast. it's hard on the 'ol legs, isnt it? 8 year olds whizzing past me was a bit of a buzzkiller but i persevered. i think if i see another bottle of tooheys, i'll puke.

no, a bench in our resort this time. someone woke me up and i went to my bed but that sunday morning they couldn't wake me so i got up at around 11 and had to hitch-hike to the mountain which was a 45 minute drive away. i made it in about an hour though. aussies are reluctant to pick up hitch-hikers. also spotted my first emu! and many dead wombats.

they might have done! z reckoned one of them was checking me out. unlikely.

there were lots of uneasy moments during the other band's set. pretty much all of their songs are breakup songs and the singer split from her long term partner the other day. quite full on really.

Everytime I head out to walk the dog it starts raining. This has happened about 4 times now. Obviously Mother nature wants me to stay this way.

But I watched Russian Ark while I was waiting for it to stop raining and it was good.

So we won't be seeing you back next season then?

I dunno, I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too incredibly fanboy and that there was a little more human sentiment involved. I'm also coming from the school that enjoys Buffy, so the SuperRose malarkey didn't shit me so much. Hey, it didn't shit me at all.

I'm rapt that the kids are into it in a big way, I'm rapt that the regeneration thing messed with a lot of kids heads and I'm psyched they've got two more seasons signed. Stephen Fry's apparently going to pen an episode and be a big bad guy.

Why was gym shit, Adam?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

Why was gym shit, Adam?

Couldn't get into it. Can't get into anything this week.

Yes we should have a FAP and yes I should come to it.

I enjoyed the game, but it didn't give me a stiffy.

"...my dear Grandchildren, these homies would wear their pants around their ankles and listen to their monkey bop-bop music. And their warcry was 'yo'. You'd run if you heard the bloodcurdling cry of 'yo'."

Haha, so you're basically saying never.

I find it really funny that people these days still talk about homies - it's gone from underground menace, to mainstream fashion to friggin' nostalgia (which is essentially what San Andreas is doing). Rap/Hip-Hop music and fashion doesn't have the same cachet it did even a few years ago.

DO YOU SEE, I AM CALLING YOU A RECLUSE AND A HERMIT.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Would a recluse and a hermit dig on the funky progressive grooves of Jamiroquai? I think not!

― Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:32 (twenty years ago)

Yes, that would be one of the primary reasons his community would have shunned him into the backwoods to live on nuts, berries and the occasional small child straying close to his cave.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

It's not a cave, it's a homely earth preserve.

"progressive grooves", roffle.

I don't know about San Andreas. I had a go at it at my girlfriend's house on a PS2. The graphics were a bit cack (but I guess it should be better on PC), and the missions were all "Nigga this", "burn down the crackhouse that" and "go get some fried chicken". It seems a little laboured.

― Sasha (sgh), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 03:02 (twenty years ago)

i don't get computer games these days. maybe if they made Sarapoly for PS2...

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 03:26 (twenty years ago)

Once you get past the first 7 missions or so, a big subplot of police corruption takes shape and it gets more goodfellas/carlitos way than 'boyz 'n' the hood'. Right now I'm hiding out in a shack in the woods, robbing banks with a crazy latina and gaining wisdom from a dope dealing sage called 'the truth'.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 03:34 (twenty years ago)

I got bored with missons fairly early on and just kept jumping off the tallest building with a jetpack on seeing what other buildings i could land on and explore. Then the playstation broke.

Yeah, but in a very silly, 'I can't call my boss a dogcock, so I'll call some of my internet pals that' kind of way... not in the complete 'internet breakdown' kind of way, like you see round here occasionally.

I know I keep bringing it up, but that Jonathan Williams V Masonic Kate thread was hilarious.

I missed it. Damn.

― The self-hating Goy / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 04:01 (twenty years ago)

It was just before they closed the site for two weeks. I can't remember whether that was because the site was fucked or everyone went mental.

Yeah, thread was classic.

Yeah, I quite enjoy the editing process - the satisfaction of taking an unwieldy sentence or paragraph and shaping it into a lean greyhound of a thing, making it pop and sparkle is fantastic. I feel liking I'm transmuting shit into gold. I am teh alchemist.

Yeah, thanks Mully. It's a combination of more sleep, the ability to cook some decent meals for myself and more time to sit by the window reading. Also, eating breakfast does wonders for one's mental acuity.

I'm gathering some material for a short story at the moment. I have time just to read, scrawl some notes and then start work on a rough outline of where I want to go with things. I'm trying to set up a recurring character, so I've got to do a bit more planning than just dashing off a tale of eldritch THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE.

Heh, I'm up on the third story of an apartment block here in Richmond and I have a great view of streets and warrens of victorian worker's cottages, once inhabited by irish catholics with 10 kids apiece. At the crest of the hill stands Saint Ignatius, a gothic edifice erected in the 1850's with Gold Rush money. Of a cloudy, dark afternoon with the promise of driving rain, there's no better inspiration for creepy, pulpy tales.

Hey dont complain about this gorgeous weather! The winter sun's low angle gives some fabulous afternoon long shadows, which I was able to use to nice effect just now at southgate with some photos. I'll probably take some more later tonight once its dark, from up here in yon tower.

I didn't want to go to work today - strolling along carlisle street taking in the sun and the people pottering about was just too nice. Some old ladies were sitting at the tram stop eating dim sims and gossping and laughing together. I was kinda envious. Searching for the Quiet Life, and all that. Can't I retire early?

I am staggered, if its true, at the yanx suggesting towns and cities dont have bakers and butcher shops. Sure, I know most people here dont use them cuz theyre lazy and go to Coles instead, but FFS, even in shitt little towns I grew up in the local butcher did well, and there was always a Brumbys or some crap.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 06:18 (twenty years ago)

From my experience in the American south, most small towns have a FD, a PD, a general store and if you want more than that, you drive on over to the Kroger's or Safeway down in a much bigger town - their supermarkets are gargantuan.

Australians would fucking lose their minds at a Wal-Mart. They are MASSIVE. Hell, a visit to a Sam's Club would possibly kill them - this is a place where anything from beers to couches can be bought en masse.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 06:29 (twenty years ago)

I suppose here towns are so isolated all of them gotta be self-sufficient. Its not like someone from shitsticks NSW can pop down to Dubbo for steak, or anything.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 06:44 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, for the most part, you've got a continuous network of towns and cities all connected by road in the States. There aren't these great expanses of fucking nothing there, like you've got here in Oz. It's much more developed.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 06:46 (twenty years ago)

I'm thinking mainly of the east coast of the States here.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 06:46 (twenty years ago)

(pardon my dropping in...There are great expanses of fucking nothing in the Plains states and the vast empty Southwest. But even there you're mostly going to find supermarkets and convenience stores, just much more widely dispersed. And as an American, I hate the huge stores, because they're just too damn big. If I only need 3 specific things, it makes no sense at all to go to Wal-Mart. But in some parts of the country, there aren't many other options.)

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 06:51 (twenty years ago)

And I have to admit, I at first figured thats what Momus was making a point about. And I'dve accepted it (tho I havent been to the US so I cant judge either way), but he made the point about NYC! whatinthefuckingfuck?

Yeah, like I said, I was thinking about the eastern seaboard, which I reasonably pretty developed, as opposed to the godless wastes of the midwest and the deserts of the southwest.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 07:40 (twenty years ago)

Momus's writing in the last year has been a progressive series of maddeningly ignorant OFF-the-money rubbish, and I can't see why everything he says is seen as so discussion-worthy, his fans being numerous on ILX notwithstanding.

Can we trade him away to another message board and get John Darnielle back?

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:14 (twenty years ago)

I would bet dollars to doughnuts he is trolling, in the true sense of the word, on purpose. He gets a hell of a lot more response to his LJ articles that suggest its ok to like only asian women, or to suggest NYC has crappy food and architecture or that London is shite, or whatever - he knows what buttons to push, and some people on LJ and ILX are yapping like the pavlov-dogs he knows they are as a result. Hasnt he always done this? Maybe more so recently because he sees how much more an audience he gets from it?

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:18 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to put it as bluntly and as crudely as possible and damn the consequences; Momus is a eurofaaaaaaag.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm sure he'd agree with you, to be honest.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:43 (twenty years ago)

Trayce OTM. I don't think anyone could point to anything he's ever done that's interesting. Being a provocateur is a poor substitute for being interesting.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:46 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, as I am well aware, being provocative is fun, but it's nothing to focus most of one's energy on. It's a very quick way to get pigeonholed.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:09 (twenty years ago)

Also, the only good song Momus has ever been involved in is "More Shopping" by Bran Van 3000, so NER TO HIM MUSICALLY.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:12 (twenty years ago)

Good Morning Mongrels, it's absolutely pissing down here. Everything is flooded. Yay!

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 19:47 (twenty years ago)

Yay Kate!

Momus is a Eurofag... hmmm... it would be intoned by Miss Kitten, and would be a club anthem. Momus could appear in the video in various poses. Of course, both the lyric and the release would have his full support and consent. In fact, he wrote the lyric. Yes!

― moley, Wednesday, 29 June 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

I bought an old russian camera yesterday, just found out it's a leica knockoff and is worth about US$80. I paid $6 at the op-shop. Yay!

which reminds me i missed it last night. was it the moo-pa one? xpost

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

yes.

fucked if i know oops. wait - is it keith hudson too? whats it sound like?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 22:48 (twenty years ago)

think so. definitely sounds more recent than the stuff that precedes it. 80s-style island keyboard, woozy, intricate guitar, girls backing up the slighlty gruff male singer. "my eyes, my eyes, my eyes are red. why don't you look me in the eyes? (in the eyes)"

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

yeah its hudson. i dunno where i got it from. its called my eyes are red or red eyes or something like that.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

Any of those are fine with me. I'll say Tuesday, just to set a date. How about 6.30 or 7.00? Now, shall we say Pause? It's fuckin' central to you and Trayce and only 10 minutes down the road from me.

ANY OTHER ILXORS, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME.

― New teef! Dat's weird (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 1 July 2005 03:05 (twenty years ago)

Yeah week after prolly orright. Hell, this weekend's fine too really, why doesnt anyone ever want to FAP on weekends, when it'd make the most SENSE?

God I'm tired. I went to bed at 1.30, got woken at 7 by nick's alarm - which he slept thru, so I had to disrupt my own sleep trying to wake him - fell back asleep finally at about 9 and then slept til almost 12. FUCK. TOO MUCH SLEEP. I am, and have been all week, completely disoriented and confused.

Now its 2pm so I better head off to work *muttergrumble*.

Oh right. That is the turntable then? You flash so-and-so!

― moley (moley), Friday, 1 July 2005 03:33 (twenty years ago)

the cutely coloured ones are an extra $100-odd. seems a little unnecessary but a purple turntable would be pretty awesome

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

one thing i didn't realise is that top shelf turntables have higher requirements when it comes to cartridges and needles. i.e. it costs $500 every time you replace your needle.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 1 July 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

tell me about it.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 1 July 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

Probably week after Mikey, so Trayce [and hopefully Jim etc] can come.

Rega turntables are fucking fantastic, if memory serves.

― New teef! Dat's weird (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 1 July 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)

you know what i hate about turntables? the fucking cover. the plastic plonk down cover. the little tabs that hold it onto the turntable always break. ALWAYS.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 1 July 2005 03:39 (twenty years ago)

really? i tend to avoid using my turntable when drunk

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 1 July 2005 03:40 (twenty years ago)

Top shelf turntables have funky needles that go backwards, and usually diamond-tipped shibata stylii or whatever.

Kate, get yourself to East Berlin, you can pick up the commie stuff by the dumpsterload.

I've had nasty depression since about 12am, I wonder what's bugging me.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 2 July 2005 03:31 (twenty years ago)

wow but mikey - thats the most reasonable response to a depression i've ever heard from you. kind of like you're on the outside, looking at it, in control!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Saturday, 2 July 2005 04:44 (twenty years ago)

I went and cleaned and that made me feel better, therefore I think it's some kind of control thing.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 2 July 2005 06:58 (twenty years ago)

Argh, innit the worst when the black dog just leaps out of nowhere onto yer chest? I hate that. "This too will pass" I just keep telling myself.

Kate: an old friend of mine spent some time in Russia some years back, billited with a family. He had a great time, and he came back with tons of cool old commie stuff! I was given these really cool old school badges that had old russia logos and stuff, and a 1 rouble note from the days before the -ykstan countries broke away, so the money has all these languages on it.

I lost it tho :/ I dunno how. Moving, I suppose.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 2 July 2005 08:02 (twenty years ago)

Those photos are bloody fantastic Kate, especially the second last one.

I got a tip-off from a mate, so it's a bit of an inside job. Anyway, he's interested [!!!!!!!] and wants me to give him some ideas for articles.

I'm not sure if I should pass anyone else's details on to him just yet, not because I'm a territorial bastard, but because I don't know him at all, because I don't know how well he'd take to being contacted by mates of mates of mates, and because I don't want to get *my* mate [the tipper-offerer] in the bad books. If I do actually get somewhere with this, at a safe milestone I'll be more than happy to word him up [yo dig it] on you and Mikey. Does that make sense?

Dead set. Good way to put our work on display too. I've got 4b!tt3rguys.com on the portfolio but it's a bit frivolous.

Good reason to FAP, this.

xpost ahahaha the "-ykstan" countries.

― New teef! Dat's weird (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 2 July 2005 08:23 (twenty years ago)

― New teef! Dat's weird (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 4 July 2005 03:03 (twenty years ago)

You know what, I'm going to come out and say that you getting a job is more important. I might be a cold in saying that, but your angst over not getting work is about as health for you as lard pie with bleach sauce.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 4 July 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

Oh I totally agree, but it'd be nasty if 'er indoors couldn't reach me. But she'd want me at the interview anyway. :)

I think I'm having a glandular relapse or something. I dont quite know where I am right now, I am having trouble keeping my eyes open, and I cant fucking take anything in properly. Dom had to repeat the line on an order form I was looking for three times and I was staring RIGHT at it but I couldnt see it. You know? I feel like I'm going to go to sleep... so... sleepy...

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 July 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

― New teef! Dat's weird (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 4 July 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 July 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

Really? That sucks.

― New teef! Dat's weird (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 4 July 2005 04:30 (twenty years ago)

Well thats what I always got told, I dunno. I had glandular in me early 20s (I probably told you that ages ago on msn or sommat) and then in my mid 20s I got this weird bout of constant lowlevel fatigue, sleepiness and complete body not function too good. Spent days in bed and stuff. They put me on some allergy diet and all that did was make me MORE sensitive to chilli and stuff than I was before. Maybe I've overtaxed my liver... I dont know. Blergh. I feel like I have fog in my brane. Which if I wasnt at work I'd not mind at all, its rather pleasant, butI Just Cant Concentrate.

― New teef! Dat's weird (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 4 July 2005 05:23 (twenty years ago)

Nah I thoght that too - but ironically I havent had any in several days now, cos I ran out. So I dunno. Weird.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 4 July 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I hooked Friend A up with some green through Friend B on Friday night and when I rocked up to Friend B's place so Friend A could make the transaction, I took one look at Friend B and the shithole he was living in and thought to myself "Man, anybody who says dope is harmless need their head read."

Oh, wait, too late, never mind then.

― The Jaguar Who Sleeps At The Centre Of The World. (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 4 July 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

Then Friend A smoked some and ran down the street. When I woke up the next morning he posted on LJ that Paul McCartney was Satan.

― The Jaguar Who Sleeps At The Centre Of The World. (Mikey Bidness), Monday, 4 July 2005 05:28 (twenty years ago)

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Monday, 4 July 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

The concern is when kids get called things like Shakira because they like the singer. Do they know what Shakira actually means? Or do they just go "that's nooooice, that's unyoooosual"?

One morning Cait was woken from slumber by this unholy, tortured screaming coming from the street, that cut out abruptly. She almost got to the window in time to identify the soruce, but alas no luck.

This morning we were woken by this unhinged, growling jibberish. I bolted to the window to find the source, but alas, I was out of luck again.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 04:49 (twenty years ago)

"the soruce" sounds like something from dr who!

we just went for a walk along the waterfront. bryn likes to play a wee fantasy game whereby we are seeekers looking for the queen's missing slipper (the obligatory single thong, found anywhere). the dwarves are out to foil us though! anyone else walking becomes a dwarf - and their dog cerberus.

so we passed these old retirees sitting on a bench contemplating the bay and dylan started pointing and screaming "look! dwarves! two evil dwarves!"

Scanners are way way cheaper than that now. Get one Canon LiDE scanner - even one that does film scanning is only a couple hundred dollars.

Behold:

I should buy some more books, tho I havent finished the Bill Bryson one yet (never have time). We ordered some games online from EBs in the US the other day, cos you cant get em here. Psychonauts, and No One Lives Forever (the first one). I had to order them, so I could cajole nick into going to the bottle shop for me, haha. Wot a bribe!

And speaking of online ordering get this - I ordered some coles stuff the other day and when the guy turned up with it he said I couldnt do the EFTPOS transaction cos their mobile eftpos was broken and "they'll call you". Erm ok, I think.

They havent called me. Have I just scored $30 of free groceries? =)

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 04:40 (twenty years ago)

You too can get Psychonauts, saw it the other day.

I've always wanted to try Coles Online, what's the charge?

― The Jaguar Who Sleeps At The Centre Of The World. (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

You can get psychonauts here? No way! Nick swore blind it wasnt out yet and made me order it, the cad! Mind you its cheaper from EBs in the states - only cost $20USD I think, which is fuckin way cheaper. Or $30USD. Maybe it was NOLF that was $20 cos it is older.

Coles charge $5 per delivery and you can do either credit card or mobile eftpos to pay for it (the eftpos is fantastic cos if something goes amiss, you're not out on your visacard). I've never had any hassles with the orders, except sometimes they have to sub in or not deliver something if it isnt available. Also it can be tricky getting weights of goods right - I ordered potatoes on sale the other day and fucked up my reasoning of what taties weigh, and ended up with 3 sad potatos in a bag *laugh*.

Coles Online is pretty good. You usually get the $5 delivery charge back in some free sample of something, like a frozen meal.

The only real problems with it are having to be available right through a two-hour window, and the sheer number of plastic bags they waste delivering this shit.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

Where'd you look? I dont imagine there's many decent PC stores in the CBD. In fact I'dve gone to a camera store like Teds, they have a dedicated digital section. Myers or Domayne might sell them too, tho maybe not so cheap. I was thinking of ordering one online but it depends on the price.

Somewhere in Melbourne sells it! Can't remember where offhand though. There's a kava bar in Cairns, we didn't go in but it looked heaps cool.

The stuff we got was the tourist-packaged one you get at souvenir shops, and it's four years old and under boxes, probably doesn't even work anymore. If I find a local supplier [or kava bar] I'll sooo be telling everyone.

I dunno, something just clicked over there for me. I'm incredibly attracted to the myths that the country has formed about itself over 400 or so years of white settlement and how they continue to mutate. The way the the country continues to draw borders within itself is something I really like exploring too.

I could easily live over there for quite a long time. There's just so much to dig into. I'm a historian, in my way imparting the desire to search the past to my students, and America has layer after layer after layer to be unpeeled.

So does Australia, but you hit a wall eventually. We've our own fascinating history, that's for sure, I'm not denying that. However, Victoria and New South Wales never took part in a bloody Civil War that has coloured popular culture and the internal workings of the country to this very day, you know?

Almost as bad as when a relative a few generations back died without a will, thus denying the Stuchberys a huge tract of land between Portland and Port Fairy, which would make us, like, ubersquatters.

Offshoot.

Some potent motherfucker back in Hertsfordshire in the mid 1700's had six or seven sons. They pissed off all over the world, changing their name in the process. Two, I believe, headed to Australia. So we're all linked, but somewhere back up the chain.

FAMILY LEGENDS - COULD BE TRUE FOR ALL I KNOW.

The Stuchbery (original spelling, I AM TEH PUREST) family lived only a mile or two from a family called the Washingtons, who later found success in the American colonies (their coat of arms, stars with bars). Those Washingtons who remained behind became dissolute and had to support themselves building roads. The Stuchberys found brewing to be a very lucrative business and thus our carts, laden with ABC beer rumbled past the poor Washingtons carving out roadways.

We hid Queen Elizabeth I underneath our pissy little manor house for a few nights while Mary was looking to cut off her head.

Stuchberys were involved in both sides of the seige of a local church during the English Civil War - total mexican standoff, with the royalists eventually giving up and being hacked to pieces. The church door is still riddled with bullet holes.

WHAT I DO KNOW TO BE ABSOLUTELY TRUE

There was a village called Stuchbery, which fell into ruins shortly after the dissoltion of the monasteries. It's just a very bumpy field these days. I'd like to dig it up with my brother one day.

Shit, sorry for the digression.

Had dreams of becoming a Shakespearian actor, but the Depression lead to him boxing for money. Landed on Omaha Beach of D-Day, fought his way across Europe (he came back with a Luger), spent thirty years working for the Parks Service, managed one trip back to France to give the frog bastards shit before he died.

Cait's grandma is still alive and kicking, a writer of some repute. Didn't have to dress herself until she was like six or seven, then the depression hit - her family were newspaper barons. Raised four kids in the Olympic National Park, miles from civilization, so I'm pretty much in awe of her too.

I'll shut up now.

That's rad, Mully, I'm always in awe of those who knew the shit was going to hit the fan and got somewhere where they could do something about it. I can't imagine having the kind of balls to flee across Europe from the fucking Nazis.

Re: Hankerchiefs - wait, was this some kind of unofficial transportation?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 06:33 (twenty years ago)

I don't have a very exciting heritage. My ancestors weren't evne convicts. My grandfather on Mum's side came over from Belfast in the early 1920's and on my Dad's side the furtherest back we can go is an engineer who built Ross Bridge in Tasmania back in ye olde colonial days. Also my Dad's Dad was chucked in jail for being a Japanese spy in WW2 even though he was part Chinese...and not a spy.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 06:33 (twenty years ago)

I hope to write down the stories of my maternal grandfather who grew up in Liverpool during the Blitz, became a seaman and saw the world and came to Australia to raise three kids and get to know some of Melbourne premiere villians.

Great, now everyone fucking hates me.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 10:15 (twenty years ago)

We still love you Kate, most people know what you meant but when people are edgy... you know, what makes it worse to watch is that, unlike 9/11, which just seemed unreal because such things DID NOT HAPPEN, post-Madrid, post-Bali, you can't suspend disbelief.

― edward o (edwardo), Thursday, 7 July 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

Yes well I was going to say that. For some reason 9/11 was surreal and this is all-too-real.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 10:25 (twenty years ago)

Kate, they don't hate you, it's just that a lot of these people are on a fucking knife-edge at the moment. Shit's still happening in London, the place is totally under control and any comments that downgrade what is happening - in any way - aren't going to be recieved warmly.

They'll calm down soon enough.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 10:28 (twenty years ago)

Awww, Kate, don't let that shit stop you from posting!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

Just don't post on that thread, if it hurts.

Please, keep posting your photos. They definitely bring cheer.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 11:53 (twenty years ago)

i seem to have missed whatever happened to kate but yeah kenean (if it had to do with him) appears to be drunk and very distanced from whats happening or something (i mean - hes in cnanda or somewhere - right?). hes bipolar and self absorbed (and gains masturbatory pleasure at slagging people/telling them what to do) often too. then sometimes he's decent and funny.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 7 July 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

between that thread and the canada thread i don't have any time for him anymore.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 7 July 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

Kate made known her displeasure at the media attempting to shoehorn this in between 911 and others as the greatest terror attack ever. Kenan ripped her a new one, kinda. Yeah, weird dude.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 13:08 (twenty years ago)

To be honest I'm a bit sick of the sound of my own voice....er typing.

Horrible isn't it? We lost by nine wickets ffs.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

Ouch. Kate, I just read the thread in question, and knew what you meant immediately. And I agree with you. It's like a competition to judge who got the biggest terrorist attack.

The media really pisses me off when things like this happen.

Also: "TERROR" IS NOT AN ADJECTIVE. Get that in your heads you braindead Murdoch-sucking journos.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

I guess I'd rather be known as the girl who posts all the crazy photos than the girl who made the really insensitive comments after the London explosions.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:30 (twenty years ago)

But it wasn't insensitive. If anything it was supportive, considering how the world media is crawling all over it like dung beetles to that thing they eat.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

[are, not is]

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

Yeah but thats how several people took it. Nevermind, you'd think by 25 I'd have a thicker skin :)

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

Several people are nuts. At least Kenan apologised.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I suppose so. Unfortunately when people do things like that you're always a bit wary of them in future.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

Anyhow, this is probably quite boring since I've overreacted about it so much.

What are everyones plans this weekend?

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Now's a good time to scrutinise Australia politics. With Howard on a parliamentary majority and the whole country glued to Britain, he's likely to push through all sorts of heinous crap. Banning homosexuality, abolishing the pension, legalising slavery etc etc.

xpost um plans? Dunno. I have to buy a chair. What are yours?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

Holy fuck, I just got one of the 10 best compliments I have ever received.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:40 (twenty years ago)

I have to help out with the university open day tomorrow and go set up a video installation of my work today. Sunday, I dunno. I was going to do another photoshoot at some point but it takes too much organising now that I have my studio set up in the sculpture studios.

I know what you're saying about Howard, The rights of the individual are more at threat now than they ever were.

xpost

What was it?!!

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

Long story short: I pitched a few ideas to the editor of a magazine. He replied saying basically "I hope this doesn't offend you but they're a bit serious, please redo them". I thanked him for his honesty and suggestions. Just now he replied saying [in a nutshell] that a thick skin is an excellent quality, and as a writer I've got a lot going for me, and he's looking forward to seeing my revisions! Crikeys.

Open day sounds a bit painful. This might sound a bit meta, but will you take photos of the photoshoot?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:46 (twenty years ago)

Not meta at all, in fact I'm supposed to document everything I do and I've been pretty slack on that front so far.

Open day is painful, they told me I would get a free baseball hat and t-shirt and I just stood there looking unimpressed.

Excellent news about the articles, obviously he saw a lot of potential otherwise he would've just told you where to go.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:48 (twenty years ago)

Ask for a baseball bat and tell them where to stick it. Oh and take a walkman.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

Good Idea.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

I can't think of anything to write about fucking video games. I'm a lost cause there, I reckon.

Shit, I didn't get to bed until 2.30 am and I'm paying for it now.

In between school work and loads of washing, I'll be hanging out with friends from Sydney. Today, I dunno. Gotta take Cait to uni and visit the family home. Maybe beers tonight with friends.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 7 July 2005 22:28 (twenty years ago)

I can't quite reconcile what little I know about Eisbär and that vision :)

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

So am I. I just realised that my installation is not on the open day program which means probably no one will see it anyway so whats the fucking point of me setting it up? Disorganised cunts.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 22:33 (twenty years ago)

I'm writing this day off already.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

I just rang them and had a whinge and they assured me that my work would be prominently featured and they've asked me to set up my studio to show visitors how I make my photos, so thats pretty cool.

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

Good to hear Kate, glad you're getting some exposure.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I just spoke to the A/V guy and he reckons I didn't return an extension lead when I borrowed the lights and he's giving me grief. Why would I steal a fucking extension cord?

― The New and Improved / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 7 July 2005 23:20 (twenty years ago)

A guy I know on LJ - who is english so this suprised me - was going on in his LJ about the "loss of innocence" of 9/11 and "now its our turn". I was quite taken aback, has he such a short term memory? London's been at the whim of bombers like the IRA for decades, let alone the blitz and whatnot.

It made me think - last night Nick and I watched about 10 mins of the CNN feed (then gave up, as it was pointless shit), and I said to him how weird it was that people are reacting to "TERROR" right now as if it is something new, something terrible never done before.

Seems people have forgotten abt things like the Sydney Woolworths store bombing in the 70s and the police HQ bombings in Melb in the 70s or 80s whenrver it was. We've been thru this, every country has. We're made of sterner stuff.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 7 July 2005 23:22 (twenty years ago)

Well, Trayce, to be fair, we're not all beings of pure light, wisdom and perspective. When bombs go off in your home town and kill scores of people, despite the fact that it is has happened before, you're still going to be as rattled as fuck. Hell, most of the ILX would have only been small children at the time pf the worst of the IRA bombings (and hell, most of the time they'd give a warning).

If bombs hit Flinders, Spencer St and Richmond, would you feel the same way? Would you brush it off as just something we'd have to deal with?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 7 July 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

hey folks, are we on for marrickville tonite? got a ton of meetings today but if someone could email us on cherry2000atgeemaildotcom...? let us know what the deal is. cheers XXX

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 7 July 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

Of course not Mikey, and Im not suggesting people can't be freaked out - they should be. What I find weird is people acting like this kind of thing's never happened before.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

And actually I would "just deal with it" if something bad happened here - thats what you do.

I was in england and caught up in a minor disaster when I was over there; trapped in extreme floods and storms in the middle of nowhere in a dead car, had to be rescued. We all ended up in a pub in a small village cut off on all 4 sides by floodwater and couldnt leave. Everyone sat cheerily in the pub and told stories and looked after the kids. The brits are great at that shit.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

I see where you're coming from Trayce. It's natural for Londoners to go "oh shit oh shit" and panic their guts out [I would], but the world media have gone fucking OTT with all the terrorism rhetoric.

Also what you said about the feeds being pointless shit is true as well, I missed half the cricket because 7 kept cutting in to show us nothing happening in London.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:29 (twenty years ago)

i think it's all very sad regardless. although the TRG were on my train last night and this morning and all over the city train station. that was kinda creepy. but also seemed a bit OTT as well.

how will all the londoners get to and from work for the next little while.... isn't london completely reliant on the tube?

― gem (trisk), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:32 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, so let the Londoners say their piece, they'll come to Earth. It's not surprising for them to start freaking out and talking up the rhetoric at all.

News feeds were total shit, I was updating the Guardian blog.

Actually I wasnt talking about Londoners when I said what I did. I was talking about people well away from the situation (ie overseas people etc) - the UK guy who said "our time" lives in manchester.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:47 (twenty years ago)

Sorry man. I'm just *heartily* over rhetoric in the media and on blogs when things like this happen.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

Not your fault tho! =)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 July 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

No.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 8 July 2005 01:09 (twenty years ago)

Anyone daft enough to go on Dr Phil and have their lives mocked in front of a TV camera isnt worth weighing ones life against anyway ;)

the other day they had one with parents who expect too much of their kids, and this one woman was a hardcore vegan and so was her kid - wouldnt let her eat ANYTHING processed etc etc, but she was obsessed with anything bad happening to the kiddie so wouldnt let anyone else look aftr her! "what if she falls down? If Id been there it wouldnt have happened" she said. Man is she in for a shock when the kid gets to school age.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 July 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

yeah i've been doing a clerkship these last two weeks so thought spending my time gabbing on ilx might not be considered good potential employee behaviour.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 8 July 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

Literally just read it for a few minutes, on her own time - bam she was fired. She regarded it as unfair dismissal but let it happen as law firms arent worth going up against really ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 July 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

Wait, it mightve been Usenet not LJ. Or both. Anyway it was STUPID.

I also know someone who was a receptionist at the Stock Exch who got fired for "viewing porn" because they loaded up the Hot Topic website. Big corporates are ugly mofos to work for.

And I wouldnt worry abt jury duty too much - 80% of the time people dont even end up on a trial, they just sit around for days waiting to be picked, get vetted, something they say puts them out of the running. Its happened to most ppl I know anyway.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 11 July 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

Thanks. I'm more concerned that they won't accept my application for deferral. For the first time all year I'm actually in the running to get a job, and I'll probably have to start next week, when the jury service is.

I don't mind doing jury service, I find the idea exciting, but NOT NOW ffs. Worst timing ever.

Yeah. I just want to defer the fucking thing, I don't mind doing it when I'm able. The woman I spoke to last week said my deferral would be fine but nobody's approved anything formally yet.

I'm curious as to how you knew that was me, did I have my name tattooed across my arse or something? :)

The Balaclava one's shocking, at the best of times you're in a six-person queue. Yesterday afternoon there were about 15 people in each queue. They have loads of people on checkouts too.

Hey, I fucked my arms up, Moley, so I'm scuttling up with arms held in a perpetual 'strongman' pose. That's somewhat amusing.

'macks on' -> to hit upon, to flirt with.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 11 July 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

I think the meaning of macking depends where you live. I always understood it as making out (might mean that in Queensland, anyway), but it also means to flirt with, I think. I'd imagine the latter was meant.

Fucking have a look at this:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/17/041124_yushchenko_200.jpg

Yushchenko became seriously ill in early September 2004. He was flown to Vienna's Rudolfinerhaus clinic for treatment and diagnosed with "acute pancreatitis, accompanied by interstitial edematous changes", said to be due to "a serious viral infection and chemical substances which are not normally found in food products", which Yushchenko claimed to be the work of agents of the government. After the illness, his face became heavily disfigured, bloated, and pockmarked.

On December 11, Austrian doctors confirmed Yushchenko was poisoned with TCDD dioxin, and has more than 1,000 times (other sources say 6,000 times) the usual concentration in his body. This is the second highest dioxin level ever measured in a human.

Seond highest ever. No wonder he looks like that. Maaaaaaaaaaan.

No,I'm an utter lightweight. More than two strong drinks and I get sleepy. I used to be able to drink for Australia, but maturing, illness, depression and fulltime work put paid to that.

Nah, fucking myself up at the gym, a realy smoky venue for Saturday's meetings with LJ types down from Sydney and little sleep made me feel sick.

What's the Liz situation?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 11 July 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)

Ummm...she's still missing and hasn't been heard of since the bombings. At this stage I think that nobody is verbalising what really is a pretty miserable reality.

it's pretty cute. it doesn't entirely suit my (very badly designed) PC case though. and i can't plug in all the LEDs properly. but it keeps the drive cool which is paramount

i didn't know that about liz, how sad. i've been avoiding those bombing threads because i thought they might be full of unpleasantness.

that makes me feel a little bad about what a tops mood i'm in on this chilly but gorgeous tuesday. i just got my marks... and they are brilliant (!!) even if i do say so myself. bit scared they've accidentally given me someone else's.

Yay Gem! Mine come on Thursday I think.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:40 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I've been dealing with a bit of the ol' Black Dog again this week, but I can't help but read the bombing threads = I keep thinking I'll see some article pasted in or hear news that increases my understanding of what happened, but mostly it's a dickwaving competition trying to see who is the most tolerant and shift the blame onto the UK government without coming off as a crazy George Galloway type.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:43 (twenty years ago)

If it helps Mikey, cold weather is black dog time. No way are you alone in feeling more "down" than usual, now that winter's hit properly.

i've had an ibook for almost a year, it gets an absolute thrashing getting carted back and forth from uni and used all day every day, and it hasn't crashed even once. not once! i kinda wish i bought a powerbook though because sometimes it gets a bit slow when there's too much music on there.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:56 (twenty years ago)

all the tunes weighing it down

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Monday, 11 July 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

Solution: Get lighter music, e.g. Frente

Basically, it needs to have a decent amount of memory and be able to run photoshop nice and smoothly.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 00:03 (twenty years ago)

a friend edits our uni paper and i think she does heaps of the layout and whatnot on her powerbook - would that be photoshop?

Nah, Pagemaker probably. Photoshop's just an image editor isn't it?

i had some egg rings but i think they were dodgy as separating the egg from them was always fraught with danger

You can get teflon ones but I'm a bit anti-teflon personally.

I made the best roast capsicum pesto yesterday evening though.

Flashing blue LEDs means you are Mediterranean.

On a car, maybe - on a PC, it means you're purebred nerd ;) Hotting up PCs is what teh LAN kiddies who play Unreal Tourney and Doom3 love to do.

Man... I feel like I've gone into another dimension. All last night after eatnig dinner I had bad pain in my right side (I'm starting to wonder if I have some gallstones), bad acid reflux and was a bit trembly with tired stress. Got home, tried to hook up the work laptop to do an oncall job and NOTHING WOULD WORK, it was a fuckin' comedy of errors. First I couldnt get the lappy onto the 'net at all, til (duh) I realised I had to change the IP and netmask to work on my own lan. Then that worked, but I couldnt run the secure client thingy to connct to the work lan. THEN after ringing Dom in a panic I discovered it was due to a username being a bit wrong (heh whoops). THEN I didnt know what my workmail password was and THEN, best of all, I discovered that the latest IE helpfully blocks popups without bothreing to make it clear it has done so - meaning I wasted an hour and a half fucking with a java app database yelling at it like I was Bernard doing his taxes.

After getting it all working and chainsmoking half a pack of cigs I finally got to bed at like 3.30am and now I'm up earlier than I'd like because I have to be in a bit early today grumble.

I feel all weird.

That's not fair, we're not supposed to laugh when reading about your bad day :)

How many crap night shift weeks have you got left?

Last night I decided to do away with my career objectives and just get the nearest fucking call centre job. But before I dive into the fiery pits of hell, I just rented The Day After Tomorrow free of charge and about to watch it.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:45 (twenty years ago)

This is the last week for a while - maybe a month. Well, last week of on call, dunno about night shift tho. The bad thing is, I've now adjusted to late nights and next week I go back to 8am starts argh!

Kate, this is a bit of a stupid question, but that roast capsicum pesto you did, did you have to roast the capsicum?

xpost: Yeah Mikey, I tend to keep on with the "dream" but I need a facking income in the meantime. I got this film because I want to see the omgsfx.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 01:52 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I did. It's very easy though. Halve the capsicums put in oven at about 200 degrees will skins blacken. Pull out and chuck in polythene bag for about 10 mins and the skins come off very easily. The skinless capsicums become slippery like eels though.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 02:48 (twenty years ago)

It's a film about the end of the world. Polar icecaps disintegrate [or something, I dunno, I'm skipping the dialogue] and the entire northern hemisphere is trashed. Being a US film it's all about the US, so presumably Canada's history but we don't know because all we're seeing is New York City.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 02:49 (twenty years ago)

i see. is everyone swimming? what about the southern hemisphere, are we all swimming too? or not drowing waving maybe.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 02:55 (twenty years ago)

Ahahaha and Mexico won't let 'em in. This is awesome.

Helicopter part? Yeah, New York City's freezing now.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 02:56 (twenty years ago)

Don't know if there's more giant waves, I think everyone's just freezing to death instead.

No, cells of extremely cold air come in and freeze everything. It's quite amazing to watch.

What I love about it is how the ice age just suddenly appears in like, weeks/months instead of taking A THOUSAND YEARS like it actually would, ffs. I was shouting at this film a lot and annoying Nick I think =)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

I dunno Trayce, I mean, you're right, those things take EONS, but occasionally scientists look at the fossil record or a permafrost sample from somewhere and there's evidence that things can go to hell very quickly.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 03:21 (twenty years ago)

I quite like the idea of building a house in the Pacific Northwest woods. Cait and I have this idea of building a house when we've got a fair bit of money that has a small turret, looks vaguely Tim Burton and has a family graveyard out the back.
