i can't think of a single dave matthews band song. have they ever been popular here?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

no, BUT i see JB appear to be giving them a push with in-store displays and such.

― haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

I think I need a haircut. should I follow the example of mongrels like trayce and edward o and go RED?

James is no longer the devilchild. Who will be next?

I saw an ad for a Dave Matthews album on the teev the other day and it occurred to me I've never heard or even had any idea wtf they sound like.

They sounded like a wet, diluted crappy MOR version of Pearl Jam crossed with Hootie and the bleedy Blowfish, BLEAGH.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 05:08 (twenty years ago)

I have cousins from Albury-Wodonga who are big fans. That says just about all that needs to be said.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 10:42 (twenty years ago)

I had curry, but alas this cold has left me unable to taste anything except that the consistency was creamy and it was a little firey. So I could've been eating pureed chum with chilli flakes on it really.

people who lie to you. people who tell you one thing and then on "advice" change their mind. when you have already made a commitment based on their initial mindset. fucks. pricks. know nothing do nothing pretender waste. managers mainly.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:02 (twenty years ago)

Anyone who purports to manage anything is a fuckhead.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

I was a bit tempted to tell those people on that Label producers thread you linked to that they should come over to the mongrels thread because the world-famous Mully Meldrum posts here.

So you see actually I am a deadshit:)

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

Yes, you were late. I'd had my breakfast and drank my coffee and then was sitting here muttering, 'Where is that dratted girl?'

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

mully, Janne is on to that thread.

I'm at that stage where a bloke stops ignoring an injury and is frantic for a doctor's appointment. It feels like someone slashed the muscle at the back of where my leg meets the foot.

Very true, as is the Phish comment. Just blend them all together. Matthews is a peniswrinkle.

Uni sucks. I hate being back here.

I would pull out my tongue to go back to uni right now. The government would have to give me money, though.

― The Jaguar Who Sleeps At The Centre Of The World. (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 28 July 2005 03:43 (twenty years ago)

I was thinking of going back and working my way towards becoming a tutor/academic in english history AND education stuff.

― The Jaguar Who Sleeps At The Centre Of The World. (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 28 July 2005 03:44 (twenty years ago)

I just had yet more blud taken out me arm and i have to have an ultrasound tomorrow, they think i might have gallstones. Yay ;{

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 28 July 2005 04:06 (twenty years ago)

Mikey - apply to do a masters by research, work really hard, see if you can get some publications out there and you can use that as leverage for a PhD admission perhaps even scholarship. I can ask da boss for some tips if you like.

― edward o (edwardo), Thursday, 28 July 2005 05:14 (twenty years ago)

Ooookay Edward, I was a slacker wastrel at uni and my marks weren't spectacular - can I still do this?

― The Jaguar Who Sleeps At The Centre Of The World. (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 28 July 2005 05:29 (twenty years ago)

Yes, if you put in a damn good pitch. My marks at uni weren't great easier. Mid-credit average, nothing special. It helps that I had a good personal relationship with my now-supervisor, though, who you know not what you know. Maybe do some networking while you're still working?

― edward o (edwardo), Thursday, 28 July 2005 05:32 (twenty years ago)

Mid-credit average,

aren't they supporting the go! team?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 28 July 2005 05:33 (twenty years ago)

Well, they're nothing special if they are...

― edward o (edwardo), Thursday, 28 July 2005 05:37 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, that's an idea.

I might e-mail Unimelb Arts.

I want a desk and an office to hang posters and to spend hours comparing the York and Lancaster families to the Bloods and the Crips!

Man, some of my happiest memories were uni History tutes.

― The Jaguar Who Sleeps At The Centre Of The World. (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 28 July 2005 05:39 (twenty years ago)

I guess I'm just a bit weirded out that I've developed a rep as the biggest suck/teachers pet in the class (so people think I'm a jerk) however my marks don't at all reflect this. So I get screwed both ways. Crap marks and peer dislike. Yay!

Hi Moley.

I think I've spent so much time on this article that I've fucked it up.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 28 July 2005 07:47 (twenty years ago)

back to an earlier draft?

Nah. Think I'll just submit it.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:15 (twenty years ago)

Spent a lot of times at various doctor's today, but I feel bloody great, which is always a step in the right direction. My foot fucking kills, but.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:24 (twenty years ago)

Hows this work: I slept in way too much today, I didnt get up til like 10.30, and I'm more tired than y'day when I went to bed well after 1am and got up at 8 or 9.

I'm so tired, and its only 7.30 and I already wanna go home.

Entertain me ya fuxors.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:33 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Trayce, you overslept.

You get into a cycle, then when you break it, your body is like WTF.

You woke up, probably in the middle of an REM cycle and somehow, that fucks with your system.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:36 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, there was some study about that recently.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

Last year I was actually going a little crazy because I was never achieving REM due to SEVERE sleep apnoea. That was a baaaad time. I'd go visit Dad - he was in hospital getting his prostate removed - and I'd seriously contemplate doing something to get myself in there and dozed up enough to actually sleep.

Like I said, it was a SUCKY time.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

I keep waking up mid-REMs all the damn time on night shift. Like, I'll wake up when I should at 8 or so, then fall back asleep then jerk out of a dream an hour or so later... ever get the fading away of all this noise in yr head when you suddenly wake out of REM? Its that sleep-paralysis buzzing. I hate it. I had a night terror again the other night (not an awake paralysis one but a bad dream that woke me and left me all heebied). I dont feel at all frazzled like I did the other week though, I'm better now. My blood tests all came back ok - she said I have to cut back on the booze but not stop all together, just bloody take it easy, and to start necking vit B/folate pills and milkthistle, which Im doing.

Looks like Ima have to have my gall bladder removed tho, possibly. Whee. Actually I kind of like surgery, anisthetic is interesting.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:50 (twenty years ago)

Shit, Trayce. At least you're doing something. Like I said, STAY AWAY FROM THE BOOZE. Shiiit.

Fuck I hate the transition between being asleep and awake.

I'm focusing on getting really, really fit so I don't have to worry about sleep apnoea or getting so stressed I experience insomnia ever again.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:55 (twenty years ago)

Does fitness help? Nick's skinny as a rake handle thats been whittled, and he has bad apnoea.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

Mind you he smokes and he isnt fit, so there you are =)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 28 July 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, there you go Trayce, he smokes.

Also, yeah, being fit muscling up in the chestal area will prevent the chest and throat constricting your throat and leading to the snoring and the choking and all.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 28 July 2005 09:00 (twenty years ago)

I suspect Nick often spend his nights squeezing through holes and exploring the vast undercity, he has that look about him.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 28 July 2005 09:01 (twenty years ago)

Ugh you poor bastards. Yeah, stop smoking, that causes all sorts of nasty things, not just the death ones.

My piece just got accepted! I don't fucking believe it.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 28 July 2005 09:03 (twenty years ago)

Well, he said it's excellent, which I assume means he likes it.

HEY! Revenge of CRAZY LADY!

I woke at 6.00 this morning and was lying in bed, thinking about how nice and warm I was next to the missus when I start getting screaming about Revelations and demonic growling coming through the window. I leapt for the window as quickly as possible BUT I MISSED HER AGAIN!

How is this possible?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 28 July 2005 09:14 (twenty years ago)

i had a nosebledd this morning but that's not unusual. normally happens when i have no alcohol the night before

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 28 July 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

Mornin all! I'm supposed to be fasting today for this bleddy ultrasound, I suppose coffee doesnt count as food does it? Still, I'll be fecking starving by 3pm. I kind of hope I do have gallstones, cos it'd explain all the pain and annoyance with bilious attacks and tireness and etc Ive had for forever, so I'll just get the sucka cut out.

I had a nice dream about Remy last night, weird.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 28 July 2005 23:42 (twenty years ago)

at least it's not kidney stones. i've heard those are not fun to pass

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 28 July 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

Aye. Gallstones they dont even bother trying to get you to pass or get rid of, they just get rid of the gall bladder, apaz we dont even need it! I havent had an "attack" yet thank fuck, but i bet I will eventually if I dont get something done.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 28 July 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

A warning for you all: I just tried to eat a custard scroll whose sickly-sweet fake cream and coconut layer has been "accidentally" sprinkled with salt, leading me to suspect the perky peddlers at Baker's Delight are monitoring these threads.

― estela (estela), Friday, 29 July 2005 02:44 (twenty years ago)

Ew, gross! When they first started making those savoury danish things they were using sweet pastry, and it was real weird, the mix of sweet with the salty feta, I think they figured that out and stopped glazing the pastry.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 29 July 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

the chinese way!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:00 (twenty years ago)

I plan on buuzeing after I get home from my shift. In fact, I was naughty and had half a glass of wine and a couple smokes BEFORE work today, at about lumchtime. I know, thats not really naughty, but daytime drinking seems weird and wrong to me somehow. Unless that daytime is a weekend.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:01 (twenty years ago)

my parents have booze every lunchtime, it seems pretty normal to me. although they're retired and they're alkies.

My GP told me I drink way too much, and I didnt think I did! A few glasses a night isnt way too much is it?

Mind you when I told her this initially, the "few glasses" was more like a bottle a night cos I was on that shitty shift and losing the plot; I've stopped doing that now.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:07 (twenty years ago)

'they' say the health recommendation whatsit for women is 14 standard drinks a week or something, with 2 booze-free days. and i reckon that's about exactly what i drink, but with only 1 booze-free day. and the odd binge-lapse of incoherent drunkenness (though these are sadly rare these law-studying days).

my mum and dad drink at least a bottle of wine each every single day (prob closer to two), and have done for a long long time, and they both appear to be as health as could be. can't imagine their livers are in top shape but on the whole they're very happy.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:11 (twenty years ago)

are you going to see a band tonight jim?

i'm considering it but it depends on my energy levels. i used to go to gigs two or three times a week but it's been a lot less lately, esp while my gf is still finishing uni work (for *last* semester). i want to remedy this though (and also play more gigs of my own!)

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:14 (twenty years ago)

i could easily drink a bottle of wine every day. my body seems to handle wine a lot better than beer. i've never woken up feeling seedy after a red wine binge. can't say that for any other type of booze.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:16 (twenty years ago)

i'd love to go to heaps more gigs (i used to) but i'm totally broke most of the time (partly due to my cd-purchasing addiction) and also none of my mates go to gigs anymore and i'm too shy to go on my own. it's a sad state of affairs. i'm deeply jealous of people who go to lots. has your gf finished her degree yet?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 29 July 2005 08:21 (twenty years ago)

i pretty much stopped boozing except in moderation about 12 months ago and my tolerance is completely gone now. more than about 4 drinks of anything sends me into dire hangovers. although i got really quite smashed two weeks ago and had no hangover at all! weird. i drank lots of water in between, maybe that's why.

Yeah likewise. It's kind of better that way for me though. At the golden circles album launch some not-too-bad looking guy was talking to me, asking me about my camera and crap and it really wasn't till I got home that I figured out he was trying to chat me up, however I was there with my mumma anyway, so uh..yeah not-so-cool.

Yeah the older I get the more I realise that being nice is a suckers game and just suceeds in making you an angry bitter doormat.

― Chicks with Dicks / Kate (papa november), Friday, 29 July 2005 11:33 (twenty years ago)

Also the older I get the more I realise that I really really love Archie comics in a fairly unhealthy way.

― Chicks with Dicks / Kate (papa november), Friday, 29 July 2005 11:34 (twenty years ago)

Not only have I no courage, I actually have no idea when I'm being flirted with until someone tells me about five hours later.

haha yes!! shall I tell you all a story?

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 29 July 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

yes please!

― Chicks with Dicks / Kate (papa november), Friday, 29 July 2005 11:36 (twenty years ago)

went to party recently, was flirted with by ballet dancer from korea but too edgy / not drunk enough. she leaves party. I acquire beer, bottle of bourbon, half bottle of red wine, etc, go to dancefloor where I spend several hours dancing about with incredibly hot short girl, who eventually GIVES ME HER EARRING "for safekeeping because I lost the other one", but of course by now I am too blasted to pick up on such obviousness, fall over on couch then wake up six hours later and everyone has gone home. fin.

WHERE IS HAPPY MEDIUM??

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 29 July 2005 11:42 (twenty years ago)

There should be a gigantic disco run for shy people so they can hook up, somewhere.

damn. you could've had some....twice...and maybe at the same time if you were really charming haitch.

what an email to get from a friend back home. wednesday week, my friends ricky and stuart get jumped outside our local and get the crap beaten out of them. ricky grabs a knife (THE STUPID BASTARD) from his house nearby and runs at them. end result: he gets stabbed in the back twice, stuart gets a bottle in the face and is now blind in one eye and another friend who got entagled in the mess has 8 stitches in his forehead. way to go ricky thanks to your macho bullshit you nearly get yourself and the other 2 lads killed.

I'm okay. Kind of had a bad night realising that my apparent best friend is actually a really crappy friend. Nice person, but crappy friend if you know what I mean. I tried to tell myself I was over-reacting, but really I'm just being a doormat again.

― Chicks with Dicks / Kate (papa november), Saturday, 30 July 2005 11:01 (twenty years ago)

motivations and stuff are hard to reconcile with how you get treated i guess. nice people have weaknesses.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Saturday, 30 July 2005 11:05 (twenty years ago)

Well her weakness is ignoring text messages, renegging on arrangements to meet up and not returning phone calls. I think I'm over it. No friends is better than constant let downs.

i've been dealing with the same sort of situation with a former best friend, kate. i have a doormattish tendency too, but finally just decided to give up on her for a while. i don't know wtf to do about it, it sucks to have to let go of a former best friend. but it sucks to feel walked on and taken for granted, fuck that.

is the Son Of Bazerk album as great as everyone says it is? ie Best Bomb Squad Evar?

I kept trying to post this on Friday but getting 404-ed on the postmessage:

I saw them (ie the Go! Team)! Gaz you missed the other thread wherein I made an oblique reference to N.H. They were *good*, but the mix was varying degrees of not-great-to-rubbish. I ignored it well enough to dance like a nutbag to the big ones, but wish it had been as awesome as it should have been.

the mono thread was all about castigating the singer. she was a bit vapid with the shoutouts, but the problem was mostly a) that she was mixed twice as loud as all the zillion instruments put together (one bloke alone played drums, guitar, recorder, melodica and two different kbds) and b) corny indie fuxx0rs were not familiar with the role of a hypeman vs a lead singer. at least they didn't ask us to chant Triple J like they did in Melbourne.

I went and bought the Australian bonus disc edition of the album at lunch today

ha ha, I might have offered Amerikka's Most Wanted except a) I want to check how many non-Bomb Squad tracks were on it and whether they bring the average down and b) Cube kinda out-Bomb Squadded them himself on No Vaseline

the new Bottle Rocket on Go Team bonus is re-recorded with vocals by the live singer, presumably to dodge US copyright attorneys. one track is from the Japanese version of the album. the rest are b-sides I guess.

the Tugboat video should have the band being gradually removed from the imagery and replaced by snapshots of the director's family, in an allegory for the production process

― kit brash (kit brash), Monday, 1 August 2005 03:55 (twenty years ago)

my temples are going much more salt-and-pepper than they used to be, with white rogues creeping further back as the mohawk grows out

he sure did

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Monday, 1 August 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

Doesnt he normally?

I kinda wish I could grow out a grey stripe at my temples and dye the rest of my hair either back to black, or maybe a really deep blood/ruby red.

...that'd be really obvious of me wouldnt it? =)

he never had a mohawk when i met him. although - hmmmm - yes it was a style that could once have been a mohawk.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 1 August 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

I had long hair (below shoulders) for the last nine years, then a mohawk over the summer. have let the sides grow out for warmth in winter, am now deciding whether to keep letting it all grow out or do the 'hawk once more while I can still rely on my hairline...

― kit brash (kit brash), Monday, 1 August 2005 04:43 (twenty years ago)

Its weird, a 'hawk looked like something you'd had for years, you totally had the Living End/Fireballs psychobilly thing happening, I cant picture you with long hair.

I need a better graphics card and more RAM - neither of which you can change on a laptop. I've added as much RAM as I can; bafflingly this laptop only has one RAM slot!? The manual says its meant to have two and it doesnt *grumble*.

Get as much RAM as you can - 1gb if you can wrangle it, also loads of HDD space if youre gonna be using it for music.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 02:48 (twenty years ago)

yeah 60GB should be enuff for the purpose. it'll only be used for anything i can't do at home. 1GB is pretty essential for running protools..

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 August 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

i reckon the way to go is try and find what courses outside the obvious use the thing you can do (eg i am teaching a bus studs course to lib students - i'd have no chance of teaching it to bus studs) using internal teachers (rather than farming it out to that other dept)

Only, this was after my 2 bosses had taken me to lunch, bought me flowers, etc. At drinks that afternoon I mentioned it wasnt my last day after all, and my boss demanded the flowers back!

She was joking obv ;)

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 4 August 2005 07:29 (twenty years ago)

Oh god that sucks. When I started my job that queeny "america roolz" guy was training up me and DOm, but then left suddenly one day in a huff weeks before he was meant to. We had to figure out how to run half his stupidly convoluted reports on our own with our vendors screaming at us, cos we fucked it up a bit.

Its been mostly ok, our main beef is we're now doing a job we werent hired for, and me and Dom are pissed off because we came from a top-rate ISP where *everything* has well structured professional processes, escalation paths, etc. Here? WE are the dead end for the client - if something goes wrong we dont understand theres literally ONE network engineer who is overworked and hates being asked stuff and yells at everyone. I hate being on the phone and saying "look I actually dont know what you're even asking me" but it happens a lot :/

the go! team album was released aaaages ago, 12 months or so i reckon, but they've kind of just gotten a bit of a trot out because they're touring 'australia' (nb my disgust that this does not include perth). i hope that doesn't mean the perth jbs won't have the bonus disc separate - it was in a package with the album last week. nice reward for fans who bought it last year, not.

maximo park is the only one of those i've even heard of of course. i like it though! interestingly my friend the dance teacher is doing a track off that album for her concert too.

i think he means stuff like kaiser chiefs, bloc party, futureheads, dogs die etc (am i right? or not?)

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 5 August 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

it's a better group of bands than the post-interpol bunch tho

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 5 August 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

oh i see. kind of like music that is moderately fun and inoffensive but a tad bland?

i have a bit of trouble distinguishing the kaiser chiefs from bloc party actually. i find their songs are good for running to though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 5 August 2005 03:09 (twenty years ago)

i certainly had no idea about bloc party after only having heard their debut single it seems:

i like the compilation of the two singles. at times they seem a bit like a low-rent Ikara Colt but i think they've got a bit more depth. was very surprised to see the debut 45 go for obscene amounts on ebay recently, find it difficult to imagine them as the sort of band who would attract obsessive fans..

― gem (trisk), Friday, 5 August 2005 03:13 (twenty years ago)

ha yes, kaiser chiefs spring to mind mainly! the killers too, thought they're obviously much bigger than any of the others. it's less hating them and more ragging on how awful NME is nowadays, probably!

i keep thinking of bloc party, futureheads as more down-the-line post-punk for some reason. maximo park are probably closer to these.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 5 August 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

i heard a very good mix of a bloc party song last weekend. and actually now that i think about it i have a sneaking suspicion it was mixed by the go! team! does this sound plausible? i had to sit in the car after i got home and wait for the back announce as i was so impressed.

i think the lead singer of bloc party is hot! note this does not dispute your statement mikey.

oh i dunno. i knew i should have written it down. i ALWAYS forget when it if i don't write it down (hence the millions of scraps of paper and envelope with random songs written on them which i rarely follow up). i really thought it was great too. i'm not overly familiar with their songs so i dunno offhand which one it was.

(ha ha "some of" the best songs, that's like everything except the intro and It's A Man's World. actually maybe even the intro was good on that one.) now I'm waiting for the Fear remaster thingy to make me cry tears of joy.

my 75 yr old m-i-l just bought black books the set

you don't like its a mans world????? where yoyo tells him he's got a tiny penis and if it wasn't for her his best friend would be his hand???

whatever happened to sir jinx? great work on death cert and the first yoyo record then...?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 5 August 2005 04:14 (twenty years ago)

I loved it at the time, but got disillusioned by the gender politics as my teens advanced, when I realised that pretty much her entire argument for the worth of women was "yeah, well, if it wasn't for chixx0rs you wouldn't be able to get laid. so there!"

Sir Jinx probably bought a dry-cleaning business or something and stayed home playing Playstation. DJ Pooh started writing movies with Cube. Who produced the first Del album? I haven't seen that since high school either. :(

(Great picture Kate!)

*kicks jim in the grill*

they split up Col! typical ego nonsense, Prime Minister Pete Nice & DJ Daddy Rich did a solo album before splitting, I think Serch only got a solo single or something. But the other two said he'd gone paranoid before the split, measuring hotel rooms to make sure that Pete hadn't gotten one with higher ceilings than him etc, and that the partnership became unworkable on completely non-musical grounds.

sadly the last thing they recorded was a track with Brand New Heavies that prompted the latter to record the entire Heavy Rhyme Experience collabo-with-rappers album, but Universal or Def Jam or whoever never let the 3rd bass track actually be used.

anyway Serch went into A&R, and (the reason I asked!) some young rapper has recently done a duet with him based on his exec role which I'll gmail to all of yers if you want

Yes exactly! I'm going to use it in my final work, but the main costume I'm making (the one with the minicrinoline) will be masonic to the maxxx.

I wish my relos in the form of my mum would arrive suddenly! She could help me clean up :( I'm exhausted now, we just spent an hour scrubbing kitchen cupboard doors and walls and stuff. I fear I'll never get the nicotieney yellow out of the house. Blergh.

Me too. There's emotion trying to burst forth, or something.

That three-month contract I started, on Friday [two weeks in] they called me and said "we want to make you permanent". They named a figure and I said no. Two hours later they called back with a higher offer and I said yes. I think that means it's going well.

More cleaning today bleh. I wrote up a todo list and it is dozens of items long... Nick is so trying to get out of the cleaning as well, which is frustrating me enourmously :( He helped loads y'day but I feel like I'll end up doing most of it on me own :(

Adam: they're doing a property appraisal tomorrow. The place is in a right state as Ive been here 5 years now - the carpets need replacing and the walls need repainting. We're steeling ourselves to be given our notice. Its ok, we wont go far if we do ;) Hell, closer to Carlisle st if I can wing it, I've just been persuing the rentals and man, the prices have come down! For 260-300 a week I can get a really spiffy brand newly renovated 2brm apartment with a large balcony. Maybe it is time to move on. Who knows. We kinda wish we could buy at this stage as I said.

As for the writing gig, nice one! And yeah I'd be into doing some articles. Whats its scope? PC/console games?

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 7 August 2005 00:06 (twenty years ago)

Rentals coming down? Really?? Fark, we should start looking then, now that we have an income.

Scope is videogames, but it's more about the culture than reviews etc. Hard to explain here. You're best off popping down to Borders and picking up a copy to see what it's about.

Education Advisor at the Royal Children's. Make sure kids get learnin' whilst getting fixed up. I kinda grew up around hospitals, so I think it wouldn't be a hard change to make.

Movies I have watched this weekend.

The Life Aquatic -> Highly Recommended.
The Ring 2 -> What is this shit?
The House of Flying Daggers -> More like House of EMO Daggers. Good Chop-sockey though.
Bubba-Ho-Tep -> Surprisingly sweet.

I really should revive poor old memory gongs as well. I need to start writing again. Something very important in me has kind of curled up and almost died in the last 18 months or so, and I'm starting to really feel it, or the lack thereof. Something in my soul is very absent. All I am right now is work, alcohol/drugs, and bored angry frustration. If it wasn't for Nick I dont know what'd happen to me.

Today feels good though. Kind of pick m'self up and get going new. As we've been forced to spring clean the flat so hardcore, I feel refreshed, and I'm forcing myself to not touch a drop of drink or a smoke all this week (cant anyway, am on call ugh).

If I cant do this, this one last time as spring approaches, then I honestly give up and might as well drink myself to death.

melbourne arthouse = grotty hole that plays host to grotty punk bands (and where i played my first ever gig, fact fans! along with probably every other naive young band)

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

were you in a grotty punk band jimmy?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 00:18 (twenty years ago)

grotty yes, punk no. i've been peddling the same sound since the early nineties (at least back then it was semi-fashionable)

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 9 August 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

x-post:
not that the Arthouse in Sydney is desirable as such! I kind of feel a glow of shame just walking past on the way to Dirt Cheap CDs or Kinokuniya, like the door itself is saying "not in those shoes mate". that said I reckon if Michael times it right (and wears the correct shoes) he could totally score some snooty corporate manager-type looking for a bit of ruff on a Friday night. the accent should work wonders.

is Kooky on these days/this weekend Gaz? I saw Johnny/Seym0ur in town the other day with Moley's sometime-bandmate so I guess it could well be back.

I'm going to Brisbane myself! But doing merch at the Hoey on Friday night.

Oh Spirit of the Universe poor old gem is apparently a bit tired so can you help her sleep better and also she needs to have a more varied diet than vegemite scrolls while she is in the exciting process of becoming gemlightened so perhaps a nice dinner out with a nice chap once in a while would be good, also while you're at it can the right journal always be in the library when she wants it and can the usb slots not be broken all the time: all the mongs are rooting for her, Spirit, so maybe you could give her a fair suck of the pineapple?

xpost next I'll write one for all the mongs

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 02:17 (twenty years ago)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 22:18 (twenty years ago)

a long interview is always a good sign

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 22:45 (twenty years ago)

yes. another good sign is if after the official interview they sit around and chat with you.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 22:55 (twenty years ago)

'fireside chat'

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 23:53 (twenty years ago)

if they sit you on their knee is it a good sign?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:20 (twenty years ago)

you have to nestle right in

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

goddamit why am i the only one with nothing better to do?

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

i wonder if anyone would notice if i brought my lappy to work and made beats all day

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

Try to see how quiely you can do it. Subliminal music!

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:37 (twenty years ago)

the frightening (?) thing is that i could probably get away with it.

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:40 (twenty years ago)

How good is the sound card? Could you get frequencies so low that no one could properly hear it, and it'd make them all uneasy?

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:43 (twenty years ago)

i see so many people working on their "other" career at work.

thats a good idea sasha. jim - can i get a brown note?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

i don't think it's as impressive as that unfortunately, but you never know xpost

haha brown note gaz do you watch mythbusters?

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:45 (twenty years ago)

yes but those guys are gay

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:47 (twenty years ago)

aw cmon. the brown note episode was fantastic!!

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:52 (twenty years ago)

Walrus dude is on Mythbusters world whisk champion and ex-special forces.

I totally want to work on that show, but know bugger-all after Year 9 Sci and Maths.

Apparently it's quite easy to make people throw up with subsonic frequencies.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:54 (twenty years ago)

yeah i like the show

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 00:55 (twenty years ago)

it's no Oz though.

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 01:01 (twenty years ago)

Monday night are/were great.

But some of the storylines in Oz... Asylum seekers bedding down in EmCity, solitary punishment revoked on the outcome of a basketball game... Meh.

Anyway, I missed the brown note bit of the episode, did it happen?

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 11 August 2005 01:09 (twenty years ago)

no. they blasted him (the non walrus one) with HUGE speakers out in the desert somewhere. and no...shit

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

God, I would pay decent money to see that episode repeated.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 11 August 2005 01:27 (twenty years ago)

they're on a repeat cycle at the mo so it's not unlikely

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 01:40 (twenty years ago)

You should've seen the crowd after the SUNN0))) show at the HiFi bar this year...

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 11 August 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

Did people actually go the chuck?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 11 August 2005 01:53 (twenty years ago)

if they did, they're PUSSIES! they were amazing at the forum, I should've laid down on the wooden floor and felt the reverberations like some people were doing. (anyone trying to lay down at the hi-fi would never be able to peel themselves off the carpert again though.)

― haitch has no respect for artists (haitch), Thursday, 11 August 2005 02:07 (twenty years ago)

i once heard a funny story about these two throbbing gristle fans who thought they would get a great view of the band if they just climbed up on these stacks...

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 02:17 (twenty years ago)

did their gristle survive the experience?

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 11 August 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

they were too scared to try and get down

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

when i used to go to drum and bass nights, i used to dance up real close to the speakers. i reckon ed rush and optical almost gave me the brown note.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 11 August 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Did people actually go the chuck?

I don't think so, but a few collapsed. Haitch, they were MUCH louder/more intense at the Hifi Bar. Maybe due to the relatively much smaller room. I sat down near one of the speakers for a while. Glad I went to the bathroom just before Pan Sonic.

It was v. hard to make it up the stairs after...

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 11 August 2005 02:39 (twenty years ago)

one of my classes became "unviable" :(

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:39 (twenty years ago)

bye bye $114 pw.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

Hie thee mongrelos. Am feelin' somewhat better about me job today. Our boss is a good sort, he's very understanding about the massive stress everyone's under, and has been pushing shit back to the sales teams and trying to get processes in place to make our lives easier. In a few months time I might get to swap to a somewhat different, all dayshift admin kind of role, like, what I was hired to do in the first place heh.

So, I'm gonna try and stick at it. I dont like being a quitter :(

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

jolly good

not jolly good for gaz tho :(

so mongrels. who thinks i should buy a digital camera today? and if so, what sort? just for happy snaps now, nothing fancy-like.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Yeah g'wan. They're ace! And you can get a right decent one for only a few hundred bucks nowadays, I think. Canon IXUS are nice, dunno if theyre that cheap tho.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:15 (twenty years ago)

i've been wanting one for ages. i'm going up north in september, i was going to get it just before that. but it's the law ball tonight, and it'd be cool to have it for that. one of my mates got a canon ixus, seems easy to use. hmmm.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:18 (twenty years ago)

I am an ixus pwner. SO good.

― haitch has no respect for artists (haitch), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:22 (twenty years ago)

how many megapixels do i need for happy snaps?

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

Really depends more on wether you plan on printing them or not. If not, low megapixel count is fine. The pixel thing only affects printing, more pixels dont mean better quality when it comes to web snaps.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:26 (twenty years ago)

mine is 7.1 mp, just in case!!

― haitch has no respect for artists (haitch), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:26 (twenty years ago)

i ask because the ixus costs $+ for more pixels than the powershot and i didn't really understand the difference. i don't imagine i would be printing them very often. who knows though.

the 7.1mp is out of my price range i think? i was thinking of ~$500.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:28 (twenty years ago)

Yeah god, you only really need 2 or 3 MP! The camera makers try and make it sound like more is better, because they know most people dont know what the higher resolution does. Think of MP in terms of yer screen res. Now, images on screen are always 72DPI. AT that res, you could take a picture at 800x600 and it'd be fine. And thats not even 1MP!

The important thing is other stuff: avoid digital zoom, it does NOTHING. Try and get a cam that shows you the image on the back LCD panel before you take it, as viewfinder-only cameras are a bit of a pain unless theyre a proper SLR like mine is (and SLRs are v expensive). Check what kind of storage card it uses, get one thats a good standard. The charger is also important - my old camera could be charged with the battery still inside it, like a phone would. That was v handy. My new one, I have to remove the battery and charge it with a recharger; thats a pain.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:33 (twenty years ago)

thanks trayce! see i knew ilx was the correct place to ask these questions. i have had a wide variety of wildly conflicting info from mates which mostly involves them trying to convince themselves they bought the right camera.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:34 (twenty years ago)

agree on digital zoom, it's a wank.

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Friday, 12 August 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

Theres a website somewhere that does comparison tables of features and price for digital cams. I wish I could recall the url.

i don't think i will leave too many broken hearts.... i'm considered to be 'aunty gem' at uni, not 'glam gem'. i'm going to wear my favourite fancy skirt! i'm very excited about that, i've been able to trot it out twice this year. it's a lilac a-line silk skirt with tulle and sheer silk overlays, it's very 1950s i think. and i bought a little black cami and some very cool black and grey glass beads to revamp it a bit. i'm even having my haircut (this means it will be blowdried nicely instead of any unruly curly mess)

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 02:47 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 02:57 (twenty years ago)

I havent been to a posh dinner in way too long :( AAPT never held them, they were stingyarses. When an ex of mine worked for Shell there were always expenso do's on. Shell threw money around like lollies! We had a very exclusive poshy dinner at the Latin, which even ended with cigars and bajillion dollar port and stuff. The bill was apaz $300+ a head. And the reason for the dinner? Some people had been let go due to funding cuts, rofflecopters.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 03:01 (twenty years ago)

there are quite a lot of posh dinners associated with my law school, it's a bit ridiculous. i guess it's a bit of a reflection of it being a sandstone uni full of rich kiddies. never happened during my first degree. i must say they are awesome fun though, i go to them all with my grad mates and we always have a fab time.

i never have it blowdried dead straight anymore, i realised it looks better curly. but i wear it like that every single day! so controlled curls will be a nice change.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 06:23 (twenty years ago)

it hasn't sunk in. haha they have offered me a "remedial" (read: hopeless case) small group class at tafe the replace my missing class.
plus i just got another job interview for later in month. things are kind of panning out.

we keep up the eat yr bread crusts you'll get curly hair with the kids (who BOTH had curly hair up to 3) and dylan replies "i AM NOT eating the crusts...i DON'T WANT curly hair"

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 12 August 2005 06:30 (twenty years ago)

aww cute. my hair was curly when i was little, then went kind of fuzzy and straightish for a while when i was a teenager, then curly again. dunno if crust-eating was correlated. when i was little mum used to say 'eat your crusts/weeties or you'll end up bald like your uncle dan'. worked a treat.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 06:40 (twenty years ago)

Haha gaz I said the same thing re crusts, cos I didnt want curly hair either!

And yay on getting out of the hellhole of essbeeess!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 12 August 2005 07:03 (twenty years ago)

also trayce went shopping for my camera at lunch. turns out that canon ixuses (ixi?) are on a massive sale across perth? they were cheaper than the olympus and sony and the heavier canon ones that i'd been looking at too in every shop. the guy in the camera shop told me there is a new model coming out in october. too late for me. in any case, i shopped around and got an ixus 40 and camera case and memory stick/card thingie for under $480. yay!
