I just read a thread full of posts by ILM critics. They're all insane aren't they? But they're a lot more intelligent than we are. Their ironies have triple blush double-inversions. They're like chess players. They use their insanely sophisticated intelligence for EVIL. They drive each other, and themselves, mad!

Now, have you ever wondered why they like our Mongrel threads so much? Because we're so artlessly dumb yet realistic. You know what we are? Moronic Realists. We are the village idiots. And we are sane, because we are so simple. My friends, we are role models to the world!

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

I'd rather be a moronic realist than someone who makes up stupid terms like "fashion goth" (yes thank you Momus, please may I have another?).

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 10:46 (twenty years ago)

moley: its cos the only "friends" they have are other rock citics. same same with noize dudes.

o same same with mongrels.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 12 August 2005 10:49 (twenty years ago)

Which thread was it moley? I want to wallow in its awfulness.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 12 August 2005 10:55 (twenty years ago)

I would have thought that to be a goth is to be a fahion goth? Or, at least, I'm not sure I've met any goths who were not into fashion.

I'm trying to picture what such a goth would look like. They would, perhaps, pass in any crowd. maybe that's the idea. 'I'm a goth, but I don't dress goth - I don't wish to attract attention to my gothic beliefs.' Hmmm, that's possible. That's very interesting.

'I'm a goth, but not into fashion - I wear simple clothes, cheap cloths that are practical. Also, I don't wear make-up or stylish black clothes. A simple Hawaiian t-shirt and blue jeans will suffice. Or board shorts and thongs. Yet, though I may not look like one I tell you this: I am a goth.' Hmmm, seems implausible.

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 10:57 (twenty years ago)

Here it is Ed - perhaps it will make sense to you, because it certainly befuddled my brain.

It's ILM: The Book!

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 10:58 (twenty years ago)

i am a fashion subversive.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 12 August 2005 10:59 (twenty years ago)

'I am a goth of the mind. I have gothicness in my heart, in my blood. If I had a spirit I would say it was gothic. I am a true goth, and I don't need the black clothes and the other ephemera. That's just trendy goth. It's what you know that makes you a goth, what you believe in. As a goth, I believe in the beauty and romance of death. I believe there is intrinsic beauty in decay, in hysetria, in our doomed lives. I'm really more of a Moronic Realist'.

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

if you don't want THEM to squash you keep it hid. for the future generations.

did i mention i am drunk beyond thinking?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 12 August 2005 11:11 (twenty years ago)

'For example, my friends may have a glass of absinth and then go to Downward Spiral to dance; they may go home to a four-poster bed with velvet covers; but I would drink a glass of pineapple schnapps, go to Panthers to dance; and then go home to my polka dot hammock. You could say I don't follow the usual gothic path.'

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 11:13 (twenty years ago)

Read Momus's LJ, that seems to "explain" it. I think he thinks a "fashion goth" (his phrase! Not mine!) is someone who thinks goth itself is some cool label to apply, like the brand of car you buy. And to be honest people who do seem to do that are a bit sad. But I suspect he was lumping the whole goth scene in as this laughable, dour, death-obsessed bunch of whiny Trent Reznor fans, when personally, all the people I know you'd call "goth", or at least are in that "scene", have the best senses of humour, are incredibly intelligent, and sharp and savage people.

And they usually hate NIN anyway.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 11:15 (twenty years ago)

'I am a situationist goth; I play with peoples' expectations and enjoy the humour of self-contradictive nonsense. It makes me feel as if I have a soul, which of course I do not. My friends hang out in graveyards; I hang out at Coogee Beach, exercising, playing volleyball, or simply getting a tan and thinking about vampires and futility.

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

Haha! :D

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

To me "fashion goth" just sounds like some kind of new Barbie.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

Yes, I think I agree with what you said 2 posts up - same with my friends. If there's nothing else to admire about even the most facile fashion goth, I can at least admire the preparedness to think about death, instead of avoiding it as a sort of species-wide embarrassment.

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 11:19 (twenty years ago)

i AM still young

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 12 August 2005 11:22 (twenty years ago)

I read a fantastic buddhist quote about staring death hard in the face, every day, to truly know how to live. I should try and find it.

And, woah Kate! That is fantastic.

I really really wish I could hook you up with Nadjia, she is so rockin the gwen stefani thing now days. Shes still in the UK right now though and when she moves back home it'll be to perth (who DOES that? ah anyway).

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 13 August 2005 02:14 (twenty years ago)

I'm really overwhelmed, I don't even have a proper camera. I mean it's okay but professionally speaking, it's a joke. It's just so much to process.

Arghhh :)

― I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel / Kate (papa november), Saturday, 13 August 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

Get one Canon EOS20D. Theyre meant to be pretty good, and more affordable than going totally high end (which I assume would mean buying a digital back for a studio camera of some kind).

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 13 August 2005 02:35 (twenty years ago)

Yeah thats what my teacher has. I think, if i really pushed for it, I could spend about $7000, however that would mean not getting any studio lighting, so it's a difficult decision.

― I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel / Kate (papa november), Saturday, 13 August 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

I dont think the 20D costs that much does it? So maybe if you got it, you could get a small studio kit, tho I know those lighting kits with the diffusers and stuff are horribly pricey :(

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 13 August 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

You can hire lights i found out, so I might go for like 16MP or something. Maybe a Rollei or something fancy.

― I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel / Kate (papa november), Saturday, 13 August 2005 02:45 (twenty years ago)

Ooo :)

Crimony, I've been busy today :( My whole week on call was blessedly quiet - no night time calls (so I slept, thank christ), but today has been non stop! Mostly silly things I cant fix too. We've been doing a big sat rollout for all these remote aboriginal communities in NT and far eastern WA, which I think is wonderful. They pose a lot of logistical nightmares though, not least of which is they all run on generator power, and also if something breaks, it is days before anyone ccan get back out to repair or replace :( Makes me feel a bit helpless to assist.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 13 August 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

Also, I made a bit of a flub by jokingly saying to the tech at one site today "haha, if theres nothing else to do you can go to the pub!" and he said "uh no I cant, these are dry communities - no alcohol allowed". Whoops :D

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 13 August 2005 06:29 (twenty years ago)

I just bought Firefly, this is a farken great show. You'd like it Trayce.

I might be going up to communities in the NT and SA with school next year. I expect it to be a totally different world.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 13 August 2005 08:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, I imagine that'll open the kids eyes. Its like Mad Max territory out there - no power or decent water, its all generators and shit, I havent been but I can imagine it must be pretty rough. Lots of wind and dust.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 13 August 2005 08:09 (twenty years ago)

awesomenews for the kate!

― moley, Saturday, 13 August 2005 08:17 (twenty years ago)

Most of the pastors at school worked at Hermansburg and places like that, so they know everybody up there for miles around. I'm trying to get myself on a Troopcarrier full of Year 11s, who are going to go and help put up a new school. I never been further inland than fuckin' Albury.

Mikey, is this something you want to do? Because it'd be the most incredibly awesome experience.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 13 August 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

I am floating but the stupid education degree is making me upset and confused. I don't want to finish it, I want to take photos!

what a lame-o weekend. I spent yesterday getting harassed about my finances by my mother, couldn't get into the beasts gig last night, and I STILL need a haircut. I am now watching the football.

Hey Haitch, those obtuse ads with the football balls and the date '26-8-05' in the corner? Are they for A League?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 14 August 2005 05:28 (twenty years ago)

We both were ill on Satdee, I bought some comics and Firefly and we've spent today spazzing out on the sofa watching it.

I saw a fuckin' animated billboard with the temperature (fluctuating) and a series of ads, very CGI. I LIVE IN BLADERUNNER.

gaz you should tell us all your juicy $b$ gossip now. is it true that les murray has an assistant who teaches him all those foregin footballers' names???

― haitch has no respect for artists (haitch), Sunday, 14 August 2005 08:14 (twenty years ago)

haitch, do you really have no respect for artists? I'm appalled. We artists are the guiding conscience of society, you know: its moral barometers. We are the true historians, the only ones who are remembered. We are the cultural canaries in the coalmines, taking those chances, risking our sanity to preserve yours. I think, surely, you should kiss our arses just a little bit.

― moley, Sunday, 14 August 2005 08:24 (twenty years ago)

it'd be pretty hard to kiss a canary's arse i reckon. probably make you sneeze a bit too.

― gem (trisk), Sunday, 14 August 2005 08:26 (twenty years ago)

les is an artist?

yeah it feels good gem. i have just been preparing a class for tomoorow moring. can you post a photey with tha wild hair?

Nah. I have emailed my boss asking if I can speak to him about "my position and job descrption at the company" some time this week.

I am basically going to go in and say "Well - I'm Not Happy, Jan" - this is not what I was hired for, not whats on my letter of acceptance, etc etc. But to sweeten the deal I've written up a 2 page proposal of becoming the company tech documentation writer, UAT tester, etc etc. We dont have ANYONE who does this, and we dont have anythign like consistent documents or policy on "correct replies" to the usual FAQ stuff we'd get. "I dont even know" is often our answer to something and then its like oh gee! We have policy on this? Thanks for sharing!

So, I am gonna propose I do this as a long term project, and be taken off the helpdesk. It might work, or they may say "well thats a great idea but sorry, no can do" (in which case I'm back to square one and will have to consider resigning), or they may say "you arrogant blowhard, piss off!" and fire me!

It sure as hell needs doing.

Meeting with my boss, 4pm tomorrow... meep. I have written out a proposal, I used loads of wanky corporate language and bullet points and pros/cons and shit in it ;P Its a bit of a bold and presumptuous move on my part, but I'm doing it in the "what have I to lose?" spirit really. I mean, power-monger manager types sell themselves into shit like this all the time dont they? So I figured, why dont I get one confidence in my abilities for a change. S'there.

And thats the problem - well where I worked anyway - everyone at the Passport Office hated me. They took the piss out of me, teased me about my "weird freaky hair" (it was dyed red ffs. NORMAL RED. Not paintbox red, not purple.), they bitched about me behind my back in Greek. They were lazy fackwits, and they were all homophobic, middle class, shit-eating wogs who loved watching A Current Affair and I am not apologising for calling them wogs in this case grrkewnfjewkf.

our album has hit another big speedbump. we've heard things about our label guy (that we already knew but hearing them from others drives home the reality of the situation) that are making us have very strong second thoughts about the whole thing. i still hold the masters so it's not too late..

the problem then is that it stays unreleased until we find a new home for it or bite the bullet and do it ourselves. which does not really appeal as an idea.

― Michael B, Wednesday, 17 August 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

Jim, all you need to do is set up a meeting with a distributor. They deal with half a dozen idendepndent people like you each week - they'll hand you a standard contract.

As for publicity, record companies are not as good at it as the artist themselves, in my experience. We got far more coverage when we did it ourselves. Or, you can hire a publicist. Or even get a grant to pay for hiring a publicist.

NO.

We don't go to see most Australian films because they're SHIT. People don't want the majority of tales from their country to be sensative tales about aboriginal lesbians coming to terms with their father's alcoholism or glorified ironic cheesy montages of Aussie culture, they want genre flicks set HERE, and by genre I DON'T mean sweaty fanboy sci-fi or horror, i mean action, thrillers, comedies (that aren't reliant on stereotypes of aussie culture), feckin' anything but arthouse!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

if you get the grant jim you're gonna have to work out how to spend it for maximum exposure. here's a draft proposal on how to split the funds:

30% - fee for michael mayer remix
25% - bribery of various influential ilm posters
20% - pitchfork advert, situated just under much larger urban outfitters advert
15% - get professional forgers to create false sri lankan passport for "interesting backstory" purposes
5% - cocaine

i think there is a bit of a lack of 'story' type aussie films of late (rather than action or comedy), it's a shame as they used to exist and i used to love them. films like sunday too far away, and the film adaptation of storm boy, and the last days of chez nous and the year my voice broke trilogy.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 05:01 (twenty years ago)

Come on tho, the films wot do well here are big budget in comparison - even something not seemingly budget like DOnnie Darko is still way ahead of some little dude here - like that SAW bloke I guess... I dont even know what my point is anymore, wheres me gin.

i love the way that thread title gives the impression that being 'plastered all over the news' is somehow less desirable than being dead

the funniest thing about it is the word "accidentally".. its levels of humour are manifold

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 18 August 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

Get 'em seperately for strength - eg, get some sudafed, plus some mersyndol day (like panadiene but more codiene). This'll give you more codiene and pseudoeph than a codral etc would.

Or, if its being unclogged and woken up you want and you dont mind going a bit batshit for an evening, try Clarinase - it has fuckloads of speedy shit in it. The 24 hour one is especially scary (240mg of pseudoeph in ONE TABLET fark). Last time I took a 24 hour one I had to pace up and down the room muttering to myself until after midnight cos I couldnt sleep or even sit still.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 18 August 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

I am a Crap Friend :( I piked on yesterday's girly dinner with my friend K, but I had a reason I did! Gallbladder shit kicked in bad and I could barely even eat bread without it flaring up. Last thign I needed was a creamy heavy curry for dinner topped up with a ton of goon :( I hope she understood and hasnt taken it personally :/

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 21 August 2005 04:03 (twenty years ago)

yo mongs. we climbed a mountain and ate ice cream and then made a goal post (which collapsed when i kicked the ball too hard) and i made it again better. now i am drinking beer and planning my class for tomorrow.

trayce - - - :(
taking care of yerself is best.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 21 August 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

evening mongs. i really cant get with rugby league although ppl keep telling me i will eventually devlop an interest in it. but at least the premiership has started again. hooray!

Hey I used to have a Parramatta jumper when I was a nipper ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 21 August 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

the game just seems a bit monotonous to me. i'm sure ppl would say the same thing about soccer but then again i was never a big rugby fan in the 1st place.

― Michael B, Sunday, 21 August 2005 07:44 (twenty years ago)

If you're into intricacies in gameplay I daresay AFL might be more enjoyable (I cant believe I'm bigging up football, heh).

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 21 August 2005 08:02 (twenty years ago)

its the 4 tackles taken up by the pigs then maybe spin it a bit then forced to kick thing - of course its monotonous, unless you like big fat blokes charging other big fat blokes for most of the game.

union is a better game.

have you watched the footy show michael? a great insight into the culture. and fun too.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 21 August 2005 08:19 (twenty years ago)

The Footy show is scary! (both the nsw and vic versions) ;P Men in drag.. yeah guys, you're just so hetro.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 21 August 2005 08:23 (twenty years ago)

I grew up around union btw, my dad and brothers all played it, and dad was friends with David Campese (he's from Queanbeyan) and as a kid there was always Rugby BBQs and stuff happening. Big Maori/Saamoan population in town too so sometimes we had.. erm what are they called? Hakas or somethign, the pig buried in coals for a big feast.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 21 August 2005 08:25 (twenty years ago)

my kids'll be playing soccer. but it is more...effete. more moms n dads n white collar dicks on the weekend (hey! thats methough!) and although i'm more comfortable with the maori/haka/thugs n blokes n drinking piss with a few sheilas culture... i just think soccer is a better game. for the kids. for me.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 21 August 2005 08:38 (twenty years ago)

i watch the footy show all the time. that and house md (which i suspect may be shit now, but hugh laurie is great all the same) are about the only shows i watch. did i mention before that aussie tv is awful? whats with all those terrible us crime shows?

― Michael B, Monday, 22 August 2005 05:58 (twenty years ago)

australians be liking crime

i'm more concerned that the average joe on the street knows more about the american legal system than the australian one

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:05 (twenty years ago)

isnt the bill shown here too? the bill!

― Michael B, Monday, 22 August 2005 06:07 (twenty years ago)

Aussies be looking for ways to sneak drugs into other countries.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:09 (twenty years ago)

is tv good in other parts of the world then michael? like - more shows akin to the footy show?

average joe jim?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:12 (twenty years ago)

the bill was on every night of the week or so it bloody well seemed but i think thank fucking god it has finished.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:19 (twenty years ago)

irish tv is worse than aussie tv but british tv isnt bad. certainly good in terms of tv here anyway. pretty good for comedies and not just black books and the office but stuff like the robinsons (starring tim from the office) which will prob. never see the light of day over here, there might be a decent documentary (there was a great one last year about geriatric rockers status quo on tour) or 2 on during the week although yeah, obv. there's heaps of rubbish too and the thursday evening ritual of watching top of the pops is over now that it's shit sandwich now.

― Michael B, Monday, 22 August 2005 06:20 (twenty years ago)

wot no more TOTP?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 22 August 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

oh there is, it's just really gone downhill. some saturday morning show was getting all the ratings so totp was given a blander than bland makeover. presenters with zero personality, interviews with beyonce in the v.i.p. room. competitions and giveaways blah blah. just play the music and give us the chart rundown!

― Michael B, Monday, 22 August 2005 06:33 (twenty years ago)

No, my very messy study, but when I wrote "Hello friends' it reminded me of a short story by Joyce Carol Oates which featured some evangelists in sweaty summer frocks.

I woke up at four and I couldn't get back to sleep. It was kinda nice, listening to the city wake up though.

You reckon you could fit 24 hours of tv onto a DVD? I want to make my own tv channel.

milly (the mulleted one), kate (rubbish song choice but likeable) and laura (who FAILED to sing the en vogue song). poor roxane, who pwned it last night, was fourth-best!

ha, I've just visited the site and roxane is of course still on the front page.

i saw a chick sing natural woman on it last night, i thought she was tops. did she get through? i don't know her name. she was the only one i saw but i gather the rest of them weren't that good then.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 22 August 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

that was roxane! I can't fathom how she didn't go through ahead of tone-deaf laura.

I had a shoot planned with two models, both size 8. One has pulled out cause her Dad cracked it at her (this is what I get for using underage models), I can't find anyone to replace her and the costume will only fit a size 8.

i never really grasped the meaning of that 'chat' word on there. does it just mean dickhead non-mono initiate?

no i think it means people into "fashionable" (read: dreadful) local music.

Yes. At the prestigious Birmingham Hotel. With a band from Brisbane (Eat Laser Scumbag), whose gig bookings fell through, so we told them we'd give them a show at the classiest joint in town.

We're on around about 11. I posted a flyer further upthread.

may qualify as weirdest job day of life. just got a phone call from that job i turned down about two months ago saying i can still have it if i want.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 25 August 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

sorry.

carry on.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 25 August 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

did you turn it down because you weren't free to take it last time gaz? must be kinda nice to feel 'in demand' even if it isn't your ideal job?

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 25 August 2005 05:37 (twenty years ago)

Nah, that's great...is it?

I am *SO* tired.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 25 August 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)

its a nice ego massage. i turned it down cos i was trying to juggle future possibilities and it didn't quite fit. now it fits a bit better - but, ah, i dunno. theres a difficult path which could be fun andhazardous - or there's taking this. and teaching tafe at same time. which would mean 6 days a week work.

being naturally lazy...

Mike - these swings! Hows the job hunting? Have you considered casual teaching? Give you more time to do writing etc?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 25 August 2005 06:52 (twenty years ago)

you know relief teaching - like on call for sickies/hols at a few schools? isn't the rate of pay better p/h? prob not so satisfying cos not yr own classes/maybe not yr subject - - but as a launch pad?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 25 August 2005 06:55 (twenty years ago)

I did that last year. It was OK, actually. Being able to go in, and then out and not WORRY is pretty good if you get regular work.

Heh. How'd you manage that? What airport?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 25 August 2005 07:11 (twenty years ago)

a dark man will come for you in a dark car. he will mention the word "tashkent". your instructions will be inside the "poppyseed" cake you buy - stating you "have secret desires" to the shopowner - from the airport lounge. please destroy these instructions.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 25 August 2005 07:16 (twenty years ago)

I do have secret desires!

Whether I want the shopowner to know this...

Yes, you should drink a whole bottle of wine. Me, since I was broke, had to settle for eating half a tub of ice cream. BUT PAID TODAY, DING DING.

My secret desires? Um. Shit. Gone blank. Make some up for me.

― edward o (edwardo), Thursday, 25 August 2005 07:30 (twenty years ago)

They weren't secret! You must have missed that amusing thread from a few weeks ago, or something, that provides ~~useless~~ useful context!

:-O

tell me more!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 25 August 2005 07:40 (twenty years ago)

I would but I've forgotten exactly what it was about. But I think the gist is that life is too short to not throw around silly innuendo and giggle like a Japanese schoolgirl while doing so.

Or maybe it wasn't.

― edward o (edwardo), Thursday, 25 August 2005 07:45 (twenty years ago)

yes. you are right in theory (as always!) but but but...

I'm sorry, my brain's on "weird" setting this evening %-)

Speaking of seeing the Face of Death did anyone see that Compass show the other night about how they reckon ones MIND is electrical IMPULSES wot are independant from the physical BRANE MEAT and so when you die, it kind of electrically DISCHARGES from your SYNAPESE and floats OVER YER HEAD!

Oh yeah I read an article about their project on teh Age the other day. And I confess I giggled to myself that it was Ron Peno and Kim Salmon, two of the shortassiest men in the biz =D

Get a room, Mongs!

What a lovely day it is.

I think I've got over my issues with school - I mean, I'm still planning on bailing, but I've realised it's not me, it's them. I don't keep kicking myself about being a shit teacher, because I'm pretty damn good at what I do.

So, yeah, looking for a different school.

I came to this conclusion during a very beery pub lunch with my Dad.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 26 August 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

He's head of pharmacy at a hospital in the bogan western suburbs and he's always having to kick people's asses over performance issues and he listened to me and basically told me that really, it's management's problem at heart.

So that was nice.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 26 August 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

Also, the young man I've hired to hurt me made me do 50 pull-ups last night. I got the last done with five seconds to go. I nearly threw up and cried.

BUT I DID IT!

I'M FUCKIN' AWESOME!

We're in the second division on private schools. We don't hunt humans for sport during the annual Interschools 'ANNUAL MOST DANGEROUS GAME TROPHY, we walk through the undergrowth ahead of the pack banging on pots and pans to startle the peasants out of their human places and watch as the Scotch boys gallop past on their chargers, sabres at the ready, trying to beat the Trinity boys.

Hi bastards! Cant believe the OMG ILX IS SHIT NOW MAKE IT REG ONLY thread is still going. Just do it or dont, ya nobs. I've been a logged in user since day 1 and only changed my email once. No wait, twice.

Hehe.

We're playing with really cool voice over IP satellite phone setup thingamys here. We're gonna be setting up a high speed satellite internet service on a gas platform in Bass strait for [wellknown utility company], so like they have this satelite, and 2 wireless access points, and VOIP phones, and then this whole other giant barge nearby that can ship people in and out, that'll act like a giant floating office for them all with voip phones and internet in the middle of the freaking ocean. Fun!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:04 (twenty years ago)

...ugh, I am a boring nerd :(

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:09 (twenty years ago)

a giant floating office eh. wouldn't all the execs get a bit queasy from seasickness? also... not boring! knowledgeable, all that stuff sounds uber-impressive!

on the topic of boringness.... i just realised i have become hopelessly addicted to neko case. to the point where i harp on about her to people. i'm not sure how this happened!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:15 (twenty years ago)

Well, she is very good. WHen she only sings on 3 or 4 New Pornographers songs per album, don't you feel as if THE MAN is portioning her out, KEEPING NEKO FROM OUR EARS?

Oh, just me.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

no I COMPLETELY AGREE! this was the very topic of one of my neko rants the other night, stimulated by the new new pornographers album and the fact that i feel like i'm starved of neko and the fact that i have her entire discography simply is not enough.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 06:53 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:04 (twenty years ago)

Because I can't sing like Madonna. I used to do a scarily good DG, though, if I were in tune, I could totally have led a Depeche Mode tribute band.

ed u are saying mads is a better singer than dave?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:08 (twenty years ago)

i shall be playing with kids, preparing lessons, drinking beer. and i might paint an outside wall which looks a bit shoddy.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:10 (twenty years ago)

No, gaz, I'm not. I can just approximate him texturally a lot better than her, not being a woman and all. I can do Martin Gore too! (That should be disturbing enough to get Trayce back to work).

Alt country. FEH. Mostly, anyway. I'm listening to Blue Rodeo at the moment. They comfort me.

I'm playing (quelle surprise) Scrablle tomorrow, of course.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:10 (twenty years ago)

I plan on going home and havening a few wines with the lad, as long as he actually gets home tonight (sometimes he works rilly late fridays). I do not plan on watching Dawn of the Dead wot he hired, as horror films make me go bleeeeuuwwwgh.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:12 (twenty years ago)

i've only quite recently developed a real love for the country stuff. it is fast evolving into an obsession though. the neko thing, i'm not sure if it's a coincidence or separate. but i love her voice and the lyrics in all her songs, both the ones she has written and those written by others that she does.

the other day in 78s they were playing a soundtrack from a bbc doco about country music in the deep south called 'searching for the wrong-eyed jesus' which sounded pretty awesome, i promptly ordered it when i got back to work. i'd like to see the doco though... anyone know if it was already screened here?

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:12 (twenty years ago)

confident ed?

i like scud mountain boys ed. kill me now.

did i send you that wrong eyed jesus disc by wotsisname gem?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)

The only remotely "country" stuff I can say I like is, if they count, the Throwing Muses, and stuff lke Mazzy Star and the last JAMC album with the laidback guitars and that.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:16 (twenty years ago)

ed did you hear that disc where kelly willis went alt?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:16 (twenty years ago)

did a fucking replacements song.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:19 (twenty years ago)

Neko Case AND Calexico supported the Bad Seeds two years ago but they didn't put Neko or Calexico in the ads so I didn't know! I did go to Calexico's headline but Neko neither supported nor sang with them. Rip orf.

This weekend I am sitting cats at my mum's house. And having BATHS.

― kit brash (kit brash), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:20 (twenty years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:21 (twenty years ago)

my place has a bath, I just don't fit in it. :(

Gaz, always! I'm expected to win by everyone else, so people tend to go to pieces when they face me. Didn't hear that album of which you speak, SENDY SEND? But The Replacements? Ugh!

I haven't had a bath in years. Maybe tomorrow night's the night for one!

You guys, though, I just made the best omelette in the history of the world EVAH.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:38 (twenty years ago)

its pk to criticize kitster...but recommend pls.

taps at side are best re 2 ppl in bath obv.

ed ok ....you'll hate it!

what was in omelette?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:43 (twenty years ago)

Um, some leftover ham and shaved turkey, parsley, some cheese, capsicum and onions, and a tiny bit of melted butter in the mix. Oh, and eggs and milk of course. And pepper. Lots of pepper. Nothing spectacular in the content, but it was LIKE ALCHEMY on this occasion.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:44 (twenty years ago)

Ach, you lost me with the ham, the rest sounds yum tho.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:46 (twenty years ago)

ok next time, having read The Filth, you should get We3 by Morrison and Frank Quitely. It's about a cat and a dog and a bunny, and should cost 13 bucks or something.

Yesterday I went in and bought the 600-page collected correspondence of Dave Sim from the first third of 2004. There's no pictures.

― kit brash (kit brash), Friday, 26 August 2005 07:47 (twenty years ago)

Say guys; d'you reckon we'd ever be able to pull off a FAP that we could ALL show up to? How cool would that be? :D Where would we hold it? Some nice resort I reckon. Maybe we could spend a week on the Reef, sun it up with some margaritas in the swimming pool.

did i send you that wrong eyed jesus disc by wotsisname gem

i dunno by who??

the best disc you sent me that i had never before heard of yet have absolutely thrashed and thrashed was yma sumac. also marc ribot has been well-played.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:00 (twenty years ago)

jim white.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:02 (twenty years ago)

jim white is the main artist that this wrong eyed jesus doco foucses on. no i don't think you did.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:03 (twenty years ago)

God Ive just realised I have a few CDRs people sent me Ive never listened to - a Dif Juz one, 2 Flying Saucer Attack albums, and some Ian McCulloch/Bunnymen stuff! Im crap. I also owe a friend a mixtape CDR I was meant to make like 2 years ago. Gah.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:03 (twenty years ago)

i wonder why i sent you yma? weird. ribot is tom waits guitrst. i'll send you the jm white if you like...*warning warning* alt country

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:04 (twenty years ago)

i can never have cdrs and not listen to them. i bought spoke by calexico album at lunchtime today and i've already listened to it twice.

i dunno why you sent me that! it is totally awesome though. marc ribot you sent because i was having a tom waits fad at the time. that is ongoing as well. i got another couple of marc ribot los cubanos albums after that too. i like alt country! is that bad?

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:06 (twenty years ago)

ask ed.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:06 (twenty years ago)

I don't hate alt-country really, that much. I just don't like it very much as an idea, very much dressing up tired old alt-rock in new clothes. I hate alt rock, though.

But it depends on what you consider alt-country is. Anyone who says R**n A***s....

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:16 (twenty years ago)

ewwwwww i HATE r**n A***s. he's not alt country! he's just annoying. my current faves involve calexico, giant sand (and howe gelb's other outings), anything involving neko case, gillian welch, lucinda williams, golden smog, emmylou harris etc. also i do include mazzy star in that category as well.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:19 (twenty years ago)

and the sadies! i love the sadies too.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:20 (twenty years ago)

whiskeytown were good tho!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:21 (twenty years ago)

I've got mad love for Neko, Gillian, Lucinda and Emmy, obv. Calexico I think are actually a blind spot for me. A friend of mine, when I tried to convince him to like Neko went "eww, COUNTRY-ISH?", and then the next day was asking me which Lucinda Williams album to get so he could impress a girl he worked with who liked her... (I suggested "Sweet Old World" though I'm sure the consensus amongst hipsters would be "Car Wheels...")

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:24 (twenty years ago)

oh yes i don't mind whiskeytown actually, that's true. though i only have one of their albums and i can't remember what it's called. and it's not on my iPod. so i guess it's not that well-loved.
i'll break it out when i get home.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:26 (twenty years ago)

i won lucinda's live at the fillmore off the radio a couple of months ago, it's awesome! in a way i like it better than her studio work, her voice is all cool and raspy.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:27 (twenty years ago)

nah edward the consensus wid us hipsters is the earlier one. which i can't remember the name of. she had a record on rough trade in the 80's! i have the heh heh 12". "i drove ma car in tha middle of thha naght i just wanned to see you so bad"

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:27 (twenty years ago)

if you like her yr gonna love the kelly willis

also is caleb myer the greatest song ever written?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:29 (twenty years ago)

that's cool gaz. i like that one that goes 'i changed the locks on my front door so you can't see me anymore, and you won't come inside my house, and you won't lie down on my couch'

i think the thing i like most about calexico is it all sounds like it just stepped off the set of a spaghetti western. mariachi trumpets! can't go past them.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:31 (twenty years ago)

ahm down in a hole ahm down in a hole

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:32 (twenty years ago)

ahm gonna be down in a hole if i don't get my arse moving, i won't be on time to the quiz night. have a good night mongrels!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 26 August 2005 08:34 (twenty years ago)

gem do you have Heartbreaker or just later Adams? if latter investigate former.

comics gaz! yeah I was buying Cerebus in issues up to the end. If you stopped at Women, it's probably a good place to stay stopped. I can lend you Guys sometime, that one's fun.

you can probably read LOEG 2 first and understand it completely as long as you know the premise. Top Ten is the total jam of the proper ABC books (everyone is a superhero, it's about a precinct of superhero cops in superhero city, more settling domestic violence disputes than foiling supervillain schemes), if only they'd collected the whole thing in one book [there's seven of twelve in the first vol. and 5 in the second].

I assume you have V For Vendetta already? I re-read it this week for the first time since all the movie talk (first time since high school probably!) and it's still great. Though it should still be in b&w and magazine-size. Moore's novel is good if it ever comes out in paperback again. The Birth Caul (CD version, not comic) is one of the best things he's ever done ever. Lost Girls should be awesome when it eventually comes out (next year prolly, three big hardcovers in a slipcase, fully painted porn). Ask more specific Moore questions!

Seaguy's just a bit of silliness, fun but slight. there were going to be two more series of it but DC said no.

Yeah, it'll be even better when i finish retouching it.

You can't tell, but the girl in the first photo is a size 8 with a d-cup. It was astounding.

― Oh Lord, My God, is there no help for the widow's son? / Kate (papa november), Friday, 26 August 2005 11:14 (twenty years ago)

I was about to go to bed, and I got an SMS from a mate of mine who wants people to start calling him Ben even though his name is not Ben. Weird.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 26 August 2005 11:42 (twenty years ago)

I know a guy called Ben who wants to be called a woman when he is in fact a man.

― Oh Lord, My God, is there no help for the widow's son? / Kate (papa november), Friday, 26 August 2005 11:45 (twenty years ago)

He's totally not a Ben, though. It's the most ill-suited name for him imaginable. His middle name is Edward, too, he'd better not think about copying me and changing THAT too.

we just been out in the yard tearing to bits the last of the chicken house. even the boys getting in there. hitting things with hammers and breaking them is so therapeutic.

i reread v for vendetta a couple of years ago kit. yeah, its good. great even. i recently dug out a pile of things called wasteland - ostrander and del close on a prevertigo dc internal horror comic with art by lloyd. its fucked. just a wste of paper. why o why did i buy 11 issues of it???

i might try'n get top 10. i don't have any spec moore qs. i haven't read anything new of hs since...fuck, i dunno, 1963? the beginning of big numbers?

ILX is funny today =) I posted something about JW on my LJ and he replied with a bunch of anigifs of himself off his webcam *chortle*.

The arguments going on have got very circular, and it seems it could go on forever - its good/no it isnt/why not/why/because/because nothing you jerk/no youre the jerk!

... and so on. No ones right or wrong really. But the shitstorm it's kicked up is curious to say the least. I am particularly interested in the emotional investment people are putting into this, an internet forum. It reminds me of the Awld Days on IRC when I was on a #gothic channel that had a mailing list attached that got into some MASSIVE infighting for little reason other than egos. I think at one point they made everyone admins, and it just got comical after that with the banning and whatnot.

People are strange, etc.

Anyhoo.

Hey I had a weird ILXor dream about Stelf0xx the other night! He was driving a strange little minivan that had "Adolf Hitler" painted on the side in funky 50s-car signage. I was all OMG at meeting him as if he was a popstar. Weird. I dont even know him let alone what he looks like.

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 27 August 2005 07:30 (twenty years ago)

A lot of circlejerk arguing and not getting anywhere at all really. It hasnt got ugly or anything but it has got a bit futile. If it were Andrew, I suspect he'dve just gone "right you fuckers" and turned it on for a bit, just to get something done. I dont mind either way about the whole thing to be honest. It wont change much, but not doing it wont change anything, so like, I dunno.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 27 August 2005 07:34 (twenty years ago)

Speaking of singing russians, I just went to buy goon, and walking back to my flat I walked past a home out of which the most amazing female singing was emenating! It was almost like the Bulgarian Voices chants, and it wasnt music being played - some women were actually singing. I suppose Jewish women, at a guess? It was gorgeous, and stopped me in my tracks momentarily to listen to it.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 27 August 2005 07:36 (twenty years ago)

HAPPY MONDAY MONGRELZ

Gem, Heartbreaker was the first post-Whiskeytown and is a bazillion times better than anything he's done since.

Gaz I liked Wasteland! Bits of it were rub but there were gems scattered in there. There's a story drawn by Ty Templeton in one that's hilarious, and you have to love Del Close telling the story of hanging out with L. Ron Hubbard and L. going on about how he's realised what an awesome tax dodge starting your own religion would be. And oh fuck if you don't have From Hell by Moore then you need to check it out real quick. There was a local edition by Bantam that is probably cheaper than the imported US edition, you might find it hidden in the sci-fi section of the occasional regular bookshop.

hey Moley:

77's a dive, infested with cockroaches and other vermin. rolling the cables up off stage after doing sound is an experience; that experience being having 30 odd years of scenester sweat, dead skin cells, spit, blood, vomit, cum and any other goop thbey might choose to leak rub off on your hands and leave a black snail trail that you're almost positive will give you hepatitis. the drinks are overpriced and the clientele is strictly fashion rockers and cokers. their PA is beyond substandard, and takes a shitload of work to get sounding good (i had to take rolls of carpet and have the amps off stage). if the PA weren 't so crap, I'd be more comfortable overlooking the fact that it is essentially a dingy little pickup joint in a murky basement - more in touch with the comfort and hygiene standards of the mid fourteenth century when syphilis and plague were rife.

Anyway, 'nuff of this faux-irc channel palaver, did everyone survive the windy wind last night? =) You know, maybe it is my imagination but I could swear during hurricane Ivan last year we got bad bad galeforce winds at the same time... and now we have 'em again. Coincidence? Most likely... but can large storm systems have a trail-off effect thousands of miles out?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

I was on the phone to my sister in Geelongland and I could HEAR that massive wind. Ah, Melbourne. It's relatively serene here.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

Trayce, I know it's not, but they were getting hit too. There's a house being built just on the corner of my street, or they're starting. I've decided I want to photograph it from the same location EVERY DAY and then turn them into a backwards movie file so it looks like it's being systematically, meticulously demolished.

Must buy camera!

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:21 (twenty years ago)

Hey thats a really cool idea! =)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Basically, I only need photos that'll look good at say, the resolution of a desktop, so I don't want to buy an expensive nu one. Would I be a moron if I looked second-hand?

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:35 (twenty years ago)

I could sell you my old KodakDC4800.. its a bit beaten up and well loved but its 3.1MP. Then again, I was thinking of keeping it for rough work... hehe.

I dont see whats wrong with a 2ndhand one; I'm sure you can get a pretty good one new for fairly cheap too. Maybe a few hundred bux?

(caveat: my new Canon cost me $1300)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:37 (twenty years ago)

(because I never buy stuff, and balk at paying $80 for jeans or what have you, but will happily buy a $1500 camera or a $3000 laptop. PRIORITIES!)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

morning chaps

i love the canon ixus 40 i bought a few weeks ago, it was on sale for $450 as apparently they're bringing a new model out in a few months. i've taken to carting it around everywhere i go, as if it is my blanky or something. things look different in photos! i need to buy a book about fiddling with shutter speeds and whatnot though, trial and error is ok but a bit frustrating.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

Heh yes, the whole point of my getting a digital SLR was to go back to proper technique, and I've been using the damn thing on the auto settings most of the time. Theres a lot to the camera and it is a bit confusing :(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:45 (twenty years ago)

yeah i kinda imagine you would have to practice until it was automatic in a way with those kind of complicated cameras otherwise it is (a) a bit of a hassle and (b) takes too long if you want to snap something really fast? maybe. i guess the results make it worth it?

i saw a class in digital photography in our adult ed college brochure thing last week, thought i might do one after exams

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:47 (twenty years ago)

It's very important not to overthink. I'm never in danger of this, but you guys MIGHT JUST BE. I'm a pointin' shootin' philistine.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:52 (twenty years ago)

Yeah... its just a matter of knowing where the controls are. One prob with digitals is having to go into menus on the back screen and push buttons and stuff to get the settings you want, but this one has some dials and things near the shutter-button, one dial allows you to scroll thru options selected like shutter speed and F stops without having to pause and look at the back screen. I havent worked out how to use the dialy thingy yet tho.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

Hahah. Hey Ed for what you want to do, you could use a bleddy cameraphone or a Kodak disposable film camera ffs ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

I just like rambling on about my camera because I am boring.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

gadgets aren't boring!

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:01 (twenty years ago)

Cameraphone? I don't have one of those. I still lug a fairly brick-like Nokia something something ten around. Phones these days don't even LOOK like phones. And don't get me started about these new fangled shoes the kids are we... (rant goes on, truncated for MERCY)

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:02 (twenty years ago)

Hahah I still have an old Nokia as well, in fact I wouldve kept my older 3210 had the battery not died in it. Whats with new phones being so tiny? If I sat on one it'd disappear up m.... uh. Anyway.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

I require a large phone, I have to feel it in my pocket so I know it's there otherwise I lose it. I have lost two phones, usually on buses. Fortunately, I receive hand-me-downs to replace.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

my phone is pretty old and, while small, it doesn't have a camera or coloured screen or even a polyphonic ringtone. that's ok though as it is very sturdy and i don't feel guilty when it gets beer spilled on it (this seems to happen more often than you would expect)

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:10 (twenty years ago)

My phone is the cheapest of the cheap. I can't stand all the whistles and bells. A phone is for making phone calls.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:22 (twenty years ago)

Some who lives here with me got a new phone last week and annoyed me with some incredibly crap Killers ring tone until I threatened to stomp up and down on the phone so the bluetooth, camera, internet and motherfucking polyphonic ring tones never ever worked again.

I didn't say which pocket! Usually my jacket pocket for quick access as I am completely unco. What price on your camera, Trayce?

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:31 (twenty years ago)

My old one, you mean? I uhh.. hadnt thought about it!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

I mean it cost me $1500 but that was in 2000, and it is very well used (tho still in fine working order - has been dropped once or twice onto carpet but seems fine).

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 30 August 2005 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Thomson offer a comparative course which I can complete at my own speed, but I'd like to know more about it.

Hola! Today I attempt a reunion to help remix a colleague's very commercial new single. On the weekend I discovered a girl I fancied back in 1992 was wondering why I never made a move. She doesn't fancy me any more, I checked.

― moley, Sunday, 4 September 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

morning. i'm tired and getting some disease or another.

thanks for the tracklisting kate! i haven't really been home to listen to the tracks yet but i plan to tonight.

good news moley on remix. looking forward to hearing it!!

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Sunday, 4 September 2005 22:15 (twenty years ago)

Mornin' all. I'm on night-shift-on-call this week, yay me < /sarcasm>. I wish I could have some holidays! I doubt I'll get any for at least a year or so, unless I quit.

I think we are on the verge of selling our house. We just have to accept the offer and I think we're going to.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Monday, 5 September 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

Hrm. Not one but TWO of my friends who I thought should know better just more or less said "I wont give money for new orleans, they're america they can look after their own, what about africa etc?".

Sure I see where they're coming from but ARGH. The needy are the needy, who fucking cares? These same posters probably wanted to donate money and/or blood after 9/11 as well, I bet.

Bit disappointed in them *frown*.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 5 September 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

I feel more inclined to donate to this because America can't seem to take care of its own.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Monday, 5 September 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

Indeed. One of my friends is like "wtf why are afghanistan donating money to the US?". Uhh, maybe because they're trying to show some compassion? Whats she want them to do, make a "nyer nyer!" statement and give 'em the middle finger?

Theres such a thing as taking being lefty too far. These are people who pissed me off quite a lot after the last election as well, with all this "FUCK YOOO I AM MOVING TO KANADAR" rants. I just laughed. They're all still here.

giggle?

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Monday, 5 September 2005 02:01 (twenty years ago)

That's the word she used.

Of course, she's one of these LJ gothtypes. They're not human, I tell you.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 5 September 2005 02:02 (twenty years ago)

I mean certainly, IF this had been handled with tremendous manpower and supplies and blood donations and medicine and evac plans RIGHT FROM THE START and we'd seen the army and police and Red Cross in there even before the storm hit, getting a magnificent machine into operation - then sure, I'd probably think "well, it seems they have good resources to cope with this - this is fantastic to see".

But it hasnt happened that way has it? So its pointless to... argh I am not going to think about this anymore else I get cross.

And in other news, being on night shift again has me wishing to quit the fuck out of this job, whine sigh WHEN will they put us back onto the job we were hired for?

A friend of mine, in a reply on some other thread:

The US Senate is about to hand US$1.5 billion PER WEEK (which is the cost of the Iraq Occupation) back to the superrich in America.

If you can still tip cash into the world's richest nation, well, you're a
much nicer person than I am.
http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/050905ta_talk_hertzberg

Well at this stage, yeah, it would appear I am, ya bastard.

And then, when I suggested he might be missing the point and was it that hard to see the diff, he replied:

Actually, it is. Unlike the tsunami ... sorry, unlike the Asian Tsunami which is different to Americas TsunamiTM ... appearances aside, the US is more than capable of dealing with the disaster.

Thats as may be, but clearly right now they ARENT.

I think I'll quietly shove him off my reading list. He wont care anyway, likely.

Anyone know a band that needs a really cool promo shot?

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Monday, 5 September 2005 23:13 (twenty years ago)

I used to get nose bleeds all the time. The atmosphere in Brisbane, I'm sure, as I stopped getting them when I moved, and virtually the minute I arrive in the place, I get one.

Oh, spring, good time to have hay fever too.

OMG Kate, there's someone that walks around campus in a hat just like those!

Hi everybody! Wow was last night ever crappy. I really don't handle stressful situations very well! Work hassles... thought something major had gone wrong... turned out it was some dickwit single user running gnuella/limewire/wtf ever and people were leeching from him at 100kbps which considering he's only meant to get 64k out, and is on a 40:1 shared govt subsidy plan, meant a ton of other users called up and went "its broken argh!". Couldve worked out the prob in 5 mins flat and gone home on time IF I KNEW WTF I WAS DOING.

I hate this job. I need a massage and hugs.

hello. my, ahem, emotionally disabled class was rather subdued. no one got on the table and screamed. no one puked. no one nodded. nice bunch in fact.

then i had to do a personal tute for a student described to me as "sight impaired". ok no prob. i said to her "you have an impairmaent to do with your vision?" (try'n to get some info sos to help) and she looked at me and just said "yes...i have some...impairment".

then...AFTER the tute my head teacher takes me down to meet some folk/fill in some forms and i notice the sign on the says "psych impaired"

fer fucks sakes.

i just fucked up a presentation for uni. i went way over time and not only did i probably bore everyone shitless it meant the two people after me had to rush, so i feel really bad. and i had no idea! i thought i was under time and i was so nervous i didn't even look at the clock. i am so shit at public speaking. i wish i wasn't shy.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 07:57 (twenty years ago)

haha welcome to my working day!

gem i'm sure you did fine. going overtime meant you had more than enough to say - which is always good. plus i can't believe anyone didn't enjoy just sitting there just looking at you!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 6 September 2005 08:00 (twenty years ago)

i'm not that worried about my own marks. it was only worth 25%, how bad can it be. but i feel crappy that i made the other people rush. i look like a scruffy nanna today, i don't think my trusts class would have traded off appearances for boredome unfortunately. never mind, i can't go back and change it now.

That would have been my motivation too. We heart J0hn.

I heart J0hn too. But those who playn with coolsies must suffer the consequences. Tourign bands often suffer in Australia, have you noticed? How many bands have said 'I'm never going back there again'? Awww I miss you guyz. We must FAP again.

can teenagers be coolsies?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

Most coolsies act like teenagers, so I guess its possible ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

only mountain goats gig is at the local indie hangout in perth, it's usually overrun with teenagers. i was a bit surprised at it as the choice of venue, i would have thought his stuff would appeal to an older crowd (i.e. my age - i always feel like a bit of a geriatric when i go to gigs there these days).

they have a cute local indie band supporting them here actually, whose eplaunch i attended on saturday (they're called 'new rules for boats'). that'll encourage even more teenagers i imagine.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

Mmmm... cute indie teenagers...

*ahem*.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

They couldn't see you - they had hair over their eyes. And hare in their branes.

― moley (moley), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:02 (twenty years ago)

hi new kate!

indie boys definitely have cute floppy hair and an endearingly angsty look about them but they're generally a bit too skinny for my liking

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:03 (twenty years ago)

They're STILL not interested in me... err, not that that's an issue for me now, obv, but its nice to know one still got da goods, as it were. Which I dont, I guess.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:04 (twenty years ago)

Skinny am good! My lad is 6 foot 4 and weighs less than I do (I think).

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

actually the chappy in the record shop that i have loved in an unrequited fashion for about a year has that skinny indie look. skinny is very cute on him.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:08 (twenty years ago)

What is it about rekkid store and video store boys? heh.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

And yet, rarely video game store boys are cute.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:14 (twenty years ago)

You don't need skinny ladies. You need beefy, solid. A solid, stocky build of a man. The kind iof man you can trust to put up a set of shelves.

― Kate B (kate b), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 05:15 (twenty years ago)

Hey I likes me all kinds of bloke things, I does.

Tall is good. Tall means the lightbulbs get changed. Beefy is good - the fence gets fixed. Fat is good - mmm cuddles. Skinny is good for perving and sexxor.

And erm... I am rambling. Please stop me.

Although alot of the crowd was fat and ugly and looked like they came straight from a folk festival. Not normally a problem, but they smelled. No smoking means nothing to mask the scents.

I moved house yay.

Hahah OMG Kate did you make that graphic? Thats classic.

The funny thing is them getting fired for that stupidity. The dark haired woman can't even speak properly - all her spelling and grammar was shit.

A woman (who I loathed) at my old job MSNed one of the other catty cows with "Yeah I know, Lisa is a fucking lazy bitch anyway and doesn't want to do her own JOB"... only she sent that message to said Lisa, didn't she? Charming. Of course she didn't get into trouble or anything...

No I didn't make it, someone forwarded it to me in an email. Pretty funny though. Apparently ACA had some thing about it tonight. The mark of quality!

good luck with the "LIKE to" edward, I just hate buying tickets in advance for things (hence no Goats unless JD wants to FAP beforehand).

no name gaz! but yeah straight switch apparently, I was wondering if this treaded on something you were sniffing at. she did (so I hear) work for a couple of years *while* doing the course but it's still raither swift.

canteen serves booze but atmos=0. better going to pub nearby haunted by UTS students and occasional non-celeb on-air personality (where I just spent several hours doing $8 jugs with mate from melbourne)

I put Wouldn't it Be Good on me iPod this week. I don't know any of his other songs apart from LRD's Sometimes tho.

ooh I'd like to read the Human Targets, I bought the original mini but not the HC graphic novel followup or regular series.

Grant's X-Men I bought the issues and then the hardcovers, but not the trades (the HCs have oversized pages and have three TPBs worth for like $38!). I'd flog the comics themselves if I could be arsed to sell things on Ebay...

ah, the first TPB only had three issues, I guess they made 'em longer later (also the sideways Annual wasn't in the paperbacks but it was in the hardcover!). His run went for three years or so, each hardcover has 12-13 issues. I'd never read any X-Men before either (apart from one issue when I was a kid: the big metal bloke was locked in a room, Cyclops was on a beach with a rag tied over his eyes, and I fell asleep by the pool after reading it and some of the pictures got wet and transferred to my skin), apparently it's really good at playing with the kind of stuff long-term readers are used to seeing rehashed as cliches.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Monday, 12 September 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

I was told, yesterday, that I would look quite good in a shirt very much like the one Kevin is wearing, there. I did not agree.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 12 September 2005 03:14 (twenty years ago)

adam almanac is one of the actual bitter guys! however he only achieved that by usurping one of the original four in a sort of message-board coup.

(xp) the women were outside, the men were inside looking at the new mac laptop. so typical.

― deaf leopard (haitch), Monday, 12 September 2005 03:15 (twenty years ago)

I was actually aware of who Adam was already. I have been known to lurk there occasionally.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 12 September 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

Haitch all those guys look like total private school boys ;P

(hehe sorry)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

some of them play "rugby"!

― deaf leopard (haitch), Monday, 12 September 2005 04:21 (twenty years ago)

Why does this not suprise me ;) ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 04:28 (twenty years ago)

haha, because I'm an idiot I have only just made the connection - ed I met your brother last time he was in melbourne!

― deaf leopard (haitch), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:02 (twenty years ago)

This stateline crossover is in breach of the mongrel code!!!! RED ALERT BWOOOP BWOOOOP!!!

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:11 (twenty years ago)

I hadn't made the connection because YOUR name is not familiar.
But we'll shut up now, and return to our regularly scheduled transmission.

FLIRT WITH ME TRAYCE! Hahaha.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

Except not, because I'm going for a stroll.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

don't feed the stroll

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:29 (twenty years ago)

Great Vagina Dentata! I know Kevin! He offered me a birthday blowjob when I turned 21! Lovely fellow!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:50 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, he was good friends with my brother for a while. Hung around a service station near my place a fair bit. Voice of an angel, tongue of the devil.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:54 (twenty years ago)

Well I can only imagine, what with the blow jobs an all.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 06:26 (twenty years ago)

Well, no, I was in the middle of passing out at the time. My friends had left me there to go do their entirely effeminate drunken le parkour running thing up and down Gertrude Street.

21st birthday! Jet Bar! Entirely awesome drunken fireball of a night.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 07:50 (twenty years ago)

No, tongue of the devil was related to the awesomely foulmouthed ravings that would come when the poor indian guy behind the counter at Quix would attempt to shoo him away.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 07:51 (twenty years ago)

Ah, drunken 21sts. When I was about 17, I said to my parents "you get my 18th for family crap, but NOT MY 21ST". I stuck to that too, my 21st was at the sharehouse I was in at the time. I wore a hideous aqua blue tie dyed hippy dress I must have purchased in a fit of drunknenness, got smashed as a pie, and when asked to do a speech, I slurred "I'm 21... sarr yess can all GET FARKED". And passed out in my rocking chair, to cheers.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 07:54 (twenty years ago)

I've never heard anyone swear so foully, yet so eloquently.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:02 (twenty years ago)

Thats a skill, it really is.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:03 (twenty years ago)

My 18th, I ended up lugging Nick, one of me best mates - you may have heard tell of him Trayce, he crosses social circles - up my very steep street after he drank of bottle of red and started ripping bongs. Fat cunt. Well no, he got buff. Yess, very buff. Yaaaairs.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:05 (twenty years ago)

Well I assume you dont mean my Nick, ahahar. ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:06 (twenty years ago)

And ewwch red wine and bongs CANT mix, thats just devil's talk.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:06 (twenty years ago)

XPOST: Kevin was on the level of John Wilmost, 17th Century Earl of Rochester who when cruelly dismissed by a peer in the House of Lords, strode up to the noble in question and intoned the immortal couplet...

My Lord, you cut me down I must confess, but in your mouth, my balls must rest!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:09 (twenty years ago)

Hahah, no, no, my Nick is the exact physical opposite to Nick.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:10 (twenty years ago)

As in your Nick.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:11 (twenty years ago)

Last time I did weed and red wine, I passed out and some truly heinous shit happened. It was so bad Dan left me behind. I was all 'IT'S LIKE BLACK HAWK DOWN *RETCH*, LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND, YOU HUSKY FUCK!' the next day.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:15 (twenty years ago)

and dan's like, hideously alcoholic.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:20 (twenty years ago)

Haha the last time Nick (who does not do w33d) drank too much then had a toke, I spent 3 hours holding him out of his own spew down the side alley of my mate's house at their housewarming. Then he crawled to the toilet and wouldnt come out for ages. Don't think he'll do that again in a hurry ;) At one point I was freaking out cos he stopped moving and I thought he was seriously ill :/ But he was ok! He didnt even have that much of a hangover the next day, the b'stard. Mind you I spose hurling up everything helped.

His coat is rooned.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:35 (twenty years ago)

He's built to survive, that one.

Hmm, listening to intermingling Katrina coverage/ talk about terrorist strike on Melbourne is all very dystopian/Half Life 2.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Monday, 12 September 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

Oh god tell you what. I'm all a-nerved I am! FFS I work next door to the freaking Eureka tower, hello target anyone? Not happy jan. Dunno why I'm letting it get to me now.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 12 September 2005 09:47 (twenty years ago)

Trayce, the al-qaeda are forever rattling off things they're targeting. So far they've not actually followed through with half or even a quarter of what they've mentioned.

Well, as long as they don't crash a plane into the Cornish Arms on $10 roo steak night I don't give a bastard's arse.

I killed it. An act of terrorism.

Salivation Army tomorrow at the Arthouse on Elizabeth Street. Now that's sure to stir up some discussion.

― Sasha (sgh), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

played my first proper gig there, to 22 people

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

The first show of my old band was there, for a Rose Tattoo tribute.

More than 22 people though, but after our first song someone yelled out 'Play us another shit song'. Set a precedent for future gigs it did.

― Sasha (sgh), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 04:03 (twenty years ago)

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:39 (twenty years ago)

I just slept for 15 hours. I couldnt wake up. I was just drug-level exhausted. Cant keep this work up.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

yes raven have at times been a very good reissue label. reminds me of that time some loony was trying to sell a bunch of raven reissue 45s (missing links, purple hearts etc) on ebay for a greater amount than the original 45s would have commanded (which is still a fortune)

xoosts

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

are they breaking any workcover laws trayce?

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

hello sheepfux0rs and m0ngrels. it is late here and i am drunk, but i wish i knew you better. perhaps, if i get my way, you will FAP with me on my honeymoon.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

cd arrived today jim

― kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

Jim: well nah not really, I mean its a legitmate shift and I'm paid 20% loading for the shift hours. Its the oncall bit that sucks - working a whole shift then havung to be available for 9 more hours on top of that, plus 24/7 ALL WEEKEND. We need more staff, and this isnt even the job I applied for in the first place, so I'm pretty fed up. I think Ive already had 5 sick days there and Ive only been there since april!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:23 (twenty years ago)

one sick day a month isn't many at all!

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:24 (twenty years ago)

You think? Heh, I know people who think any sick leave is too much.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:26 (twenty years ago)

welp i guess it depends how many you get. i get something like 16 sick days a year (i seem to take an average of 8 or so per year) so i've got sick leave up the wazoo

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

Shit most places Ive worked only give 5 or 10 at most.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:29 (twenty years ago)

one sick day a month isn't many at all!

i once worked with a woman who got called out on this--her response was, 'well, some women get fiercer periods than others.' end of story.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:30 (twenty years ago)

yeah, sadly it can be used against you. at a recent phone ref for someone we wanted to employ the referee said "well, she does take a lot of sick days". whats a lot we said? o fuck we thought. then we rang another referee and it turned out she just had fucking asthma and took about a day a month or so.

hi mookie - you coming to the bottom of the world?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:38 (twenty years ago)

jim - really feelin it (package when i got home)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:39 (twenty years ago)

i hope so!

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:40 (twenty years ago)

your getting married? and coming to aust? (remember: sydney = good, melbourne = sux)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:45 (twenty years ago)

If I had a job I enjoyed and RESPECTED I'd rarely be off sick, as I wouldnbt be run down from stress/drinnking to cope with it/feeling so miserable. Its a bit hard to feel the love for where I work when I find their level of professionalism laughable.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:58 (twenty years ago)

hey jim dylan gives it a "thumbs up" ! he says it is just like the jimmy neutron music. we been dancing to to it

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 06:58 (twenty years ago)

2nd play in a row (unheard of!)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 07:00 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I have listened and I really, really liked one of the songs towards the end. Being an evil capitalist bastard, I'm thinking it should have been near the front :) More comments in an email later, jim!

Morning Mongrels.

I just woke from the most terrible dream. I dreamt that I pulled a surprise visit on my ex-boyfriend and asked him why he never spoke to me anymore. He said he couldn't because he always envisaged me being the kind of girl who would fart in public. I was most upset by this and went to Eastgardens in Pagewood to to use a payphone and I was robbed at knifepoint buy a guy wearing yellow pants.

Weird.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

the only person i've ever seen in yellow pants is robert forster. was it him?

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 21:42 (twenty years ago)

hello sheepfux0rs and m0ngrels. it is late here and i am drunk, but i wish i knew you better. perhaps, if i get my way, you will FAP with me on my honeymoon.

― moley (moley), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

the only person i've ever seen in yellow pants is robert forster. was it him?

No, he looked like one of Michael Jacksons pals circa "Bad". Obviously my subconcious believes that is what Criminals look like.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

OK guys, what am I gonna do? I need to do something about my job, but when I said I am considering going to see the boss abt quitting earlier, Dom more or less snapped at me "well if you quit then so am I, fuck doing this shit on my own". I actually really want to either quit or force them to change my role back to what its meant to be (dont care either way so its not like I'm relying on playing a hand); the problem is more that I'm too gutless to go see the boss about it.

I'm so tired, so vrey very depressed and exhausted. My house has gone to shit with mess because I have no time or energy for any housework. I havent done proper grocery shopping in maybe a month. I habent had a SHOWER in 3 days. I'm completely losing the fucking plot here.

I dont know what to do :(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

have a shower immediately

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 22:08 (twenty years ago)

and have a cup of tea while you're in there.

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 22:09 (twenty years ago)

Yes, it'll make you feel a bit better.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 22:09 (twenty years ago)

Um, I'm at work, so that aint gonna happen in a hurry. My body is still in "night shift" mode, after a week of being awake lunchtime til 3am, going to being awake 7am instead is getting harder and harder every week it changes. :(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

Mind you the idea of a cuppa in the shower made me grin :D

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

it's good for what ails you! Try to bear in mind your current situation won't be forever, and try to eat lots of food.

― rainy (rainy), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

japanese food

Apparently my sisters husband bought it for his ex-wife shortly before he found out she was shagging all their clients, so I think he was happy to get rid of it.

ohhhhhh yeah

― deaf leopard (haitch), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 01:37 (twenty years ago)

i have taken to getting poached eggs on toast at the uni club lately. the thought of it gets me out of bed and off to uni earlier.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 01:39 (twenty years ago)

I'd eat bacon and eggs all the time but fatty food's causing me hassles of late.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

eggs aren't fatty! you'd have to have 'em pig-free but.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 01:51 (twenty years ago)

Eggs benedict and a spicy bloody mary = best breakfast. Lately mine has been consisting of iced coffee and a potato cake.

― Sasha (sgh), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

i've been having muesli but it's starting to wear thin

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:11 (twenty years ago)

Toast and coffee for me. Coffee on its own if I'm in a rush.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:15 (twenty years ago)

Actually, leftover pizza and a good morning beer (perhaps the only time I could tolerate Corona) is up there.

― Sasha (sgh), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:18 (twenty years ago)

two-minute noodles and a glass of coola cordial. i need to re-evaluate my life.

To Doctor H4rry Th0mps0n,

This is the third email I have sent you regarding an extension on my essay due this Friday, I have also called your phone number as listed on the Griffith Phone Book webpage and in the course guide, it rang out and there was no voice mail feature attached.

In frustration, I spoke with F4wzi4 Zu114h in the School of Cognition, Language and Special Education Administration just now and she suggested that I try to email you again and to mention that I had spoken to her about the problem.

I'm not certain if there is a reason why you cannot be reached in any of the ways you have suggested in the course guide, however as you may realise, the assignment is due in two days and I am becoming quite anxious as to whether my request for an extension has been approved or not.

Thankyou

Kate O'Brien

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:35 (twenty years ago)

Obviously my idea of apeshit is really quite controlled and polite.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:36 (twenty years ago)

nice going kate! polite but cutting. i love putting 'as i'm sure you realise' into emails when i'm pissed off at not getting a response.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:38 (twenty years ago)

The guy is about 70, probably doesn't know how to turn his freaking computer on let alone send an email.

― Kate B (kate b), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:03 (twenty years ago)

Have a shower as soon as you get home, Trayce! Crikey! And pull a fucking sicky while you muster the testes to QUIT ONE SHIT JOB.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, my husband works for the Australian Catholic University in Admin. What I find laughable is that the person I spoke to suggested that mentioning their name in the email might give it more weight. It's like, honey, you work in admin, the senior lecturer is not going to give a flying fuck if I spoke to you first or not.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:11 (twenty years ago)

I already pulled a sicky yesterday mikey! I was asleep for FIFTEEN HOURS! I'm fucked =)

Actually I feel better this arvy, tho the shoulder's giving me jip again. I just had to 'splode I spose.

Ahhh, Coola cordigal, my fave :D Its actually quite nice mixed with white wine. Nick used to drink wine and red cordial, and I always got funny looks asking for such a concoction at bars ;P

My personal trainer made me do that, I was weeping at the end, but a couple of days later I pulled the front off the cutlery drawer. BOOYAH XMEN SUPERMAN SHIT Y'ALL!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:34 (twenty years ago)

Yeah Im still thinking of buying a crosstrainer or exie bike, cos sometimes I just get SO DAMN ANGRY and I never let it out anywhere (ie, I dont fight with nick, etc - I dont fight with anyone). So hammering away on a bike after work might be the go.

See this again is why shiftwork blows - last thing I want to do at midnight is exercise.

Go to a gym (and listen, I wouldn't go the gym if it were full of gymbunny wankers - all human life can be found there these days) and beat the EVERLOVING SHIT out of one of the punching bags.

Works wonders.

I recommend finding a gym full of old people. It makes you feel comfortable. All the old people at my gym in Canberra smiled at me (because I'm wholesome and fresh-faced) and all the intimidating gymbunnies went to the more expensive gym a few suburbs north.

Not all gym-goers are intimidating, though. I'm dating one, and I've now got to be awfully careful about disparaging remarks about scary fit people.

jim: easily my favourite record of the year. no joke. playing it again now.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 07:14 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah how is teh new date going, Ed? :)

As for gyms... meh. Had a membership a while back, gave up after 3 months (shiftwork pooed with regular attendance, plus I'm lazy). I'm just not into exercise. I realise in my logical brain it'd do me well, but I'm not all that interested - never have been.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 07:28 (twenty years ago)

gyms = the exercise you pay for cos you don't get enough exercise cos of labour saving devices/work practices

aint the way they trapped you wonderful.

they were the singles bars of the 80's, apparently.

i just had to go for a medical for a job at x.

the choices of medical venues?

y = 2 hr from x
z = 3 hrs from x
j = 1 1/2 hrs from x.

great you fuckers - why do you think i want a job at x. cos i got a fucking helicopter?

then they kept me waiting an hour and 20.

what is it with doctors? 7 years at uni and they can't arrange an appointment to be on time. ah well, they say doctors don't have to be smart - its just that high hsc marks limit their numbers. so you get a bunch of money hungry cunts with high self regard as carers

beauty.

It's going smashing, Trayce! Part of the reason the timing of this weekend is so shit, quite aside from all my stupid work coming to a head RIGHT NOW. This really ought to have happened in November.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 07:40 (twenty years ago)

crikey gaz. cheers!

xpost a friend of mine recently went for a medical for a new job. he didn't have to travel across the country for it but they did make him wait an hour past his appointment time..

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 07:40 (twenty years ago)

Cripes I havent had to do a medical since the public serf days.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 07:59 (twenty years ago)

they made me do all this weird shit with my wrists and arms and legs. apparently same test used for labourers. bend, put yer wrist at this angle, make a circle, don't let me break it - i thought they'd mistaken me for an applicant for the middle aged **** modern dance troupe.

I mean, I am not a mind reader, if you have already provided a quote to someone, then refer them to us anyway, then fail to tell us this, don't come crying back to the manager about how there's a "breakdown in communication" when I provide a quote to them (with the correct pricing we've been using for six months, moran) (and which I only did because someone else was away and I was helping to ease the load a bit). last time I'll do that, that's for fucking sure.

― deaf leopard (haitch), Thursday, 15 September 2005 01:05 (twenty years ago)
