and here's the new one!

and the mongrels say "what do you meeeeeeean?"

OK, detail your $mas plans. I am going up the country, canned heat-style, with the rest of the family to visit the central victorian relatives. I am just not interested in going, to be honest. but you do what you gotta. then I have to come back down and work next wednesday and thursday. thankfully I get the week after off.

(that reminds me, is there a FAP while kate's down? I'll have to holla at adam, I dunno if he even comes here any more.)

How is there only one response, you chatterboxes?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 22 December 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

maybe its achristmas thing. everyone is getting drunk or something. where in the states are you again?

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 22 December 2005 16:21 (twenty years ago)

NW Georgia.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 22 December 2005 16:34 (twenty years ago)

― sunny successor (katharine), Thursday, 22 December 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

My girlfriend's family live here.

We'll be visiting Atlanta, checking out the surrounds, maybe venture into Alabama.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Thursday, 22 December 2005 16:55 (twenty years ago)

Good Morning!

― The Other Kate (papa november), Thursday, 22 December 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

morning

i am at work an hour earlier than usual. this is what giving up caffeine seems to do to me

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 22 December 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

Ick, especially on a Friday. What's going to become of you?!

― The Other Kate (papa november), Thursday, 22 December 2005 21:04 (twenty years ago)

i.. don't know!

actually i'm hoping to leave earlier than usual today. i have a potentially very stressful evening ahead

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 22 December 2005 21:13 (twenty years ago)

"How is there only one response" he says at TWO AM ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 22 December 2005 21:21 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I noticed that. I thought what do you expect Mikey, we've all gone sleeps.

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 22 December 2005 22:00 (twenty years ago)

I just got to work and I already want to leave. Seriously, I have farkin nothing to do, I'm only here for the apparent brekky we're having in an hour.

Anyone wanna go for a drink later this arvy? I have to go to the Sony shop and stuff but apart from that nowts on.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 22 December 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Thursday, 22 December 2005 22:58 (twenty years ago)

Im gonna shop and then go to e55 for drinks with Kristin later today, hopefully. If not, I'll just grab some goon or somethign and go home.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 22 December 2005 23:09 (twenty years ago)

Hullo mongrels. Has anyone on this bitch ever heard "exo" as a slang word for "excellent". I'm told it's apparently Australian slang but it can't be too widespread, surely?

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

sounds a bit perthy. they say 'mintox' too

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:02 (twenty years ago)

also: 'untold'

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:10 (twenty years ago)

My dad says exo, but only in recent years and Ive NFI where he picked it up from.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:10 (twenty years ago)

'mintox', now that is a singular expression.

Yesterday, to my amazement, I discovered there was such a thing a dinosaur pr0n.

― ratty, Friday, 23 December 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

I knew a girl who said it as an interjection. I think it might be an Xtian thing, if you google it you get "THE BIG EXO DAY" or something which is a j3sus thing, and this girl was a youth group type, def. Aside from her, I've never come across it.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:13 (twenty years ago)

does jesus often google himself?

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:14 (twenty years ago)

Does he do anything else?

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

Does he do anything else?

why yes– apparently he spends all day, every day, loving me! an unmusical man with a tamborine and a shady past told me so!

― estela (estela), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

You can love someone while googling yourself. Some people google themselves while doing all sorts of things online.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 23 December 2005 00:26 (twenty years ago)

God runs google, so jesus is just checkin' to make sure dad's bigging him up like he should be.

um hey aussies if any one of you is stopping by a music store in the next week or so, & can be arsed, could you check to see if the "move your feet" on the str1ctly d4ncing soundtrack is by junior senior, or otherwise? googling &c&c&c brings no info as to the artist, & it's in the "hip-hop" category.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

by the way, is this thread title a talking heads reference?!?

well spotted, sir.

trayce: I think you need two copies of the game to do the link. other games such as mario kart ds serve tightarses like me well by letting several people play with just one copy of the game (due to some nifty data transfer stuff).

esteban: definitely the latter, I think. have you noticed how tubby cannot say the word "plasmavision"??

― waldo jeffers scenario (haitch), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 11:29 (twenty years ago)

etc: I would nearly bet my house that the "move your feet" on that soundtrack is by a "house band" of some sort and not jr. sr., but I have no definitive answer.

― waldo jeffers scenario (haitch), Tuesday, 27 December 2005 11:30 (twenty years ago)

I think Tubby cannot say a word over two syllables long.

It hasn't been too awful here. The nights have been a bit warm, though. I'm glad I didn't fly home for December like I did last year.

My aunt has offered to pay for me to fly up to Brisbane for a week next month. Should I do this? I hate accepting gratuities. Plus I'm doing a week in Melbourne in February... and I have work I must get through... dilemma!

― edward o (edwardo), Saturday, 31 December 2005 00:05 (twenty years ago)

it's only 20 in perth today. first nye party i'll have to wear a jumper too since i was overseas. if summer doesn't come soon i'm going to demand a refund. the december average is usually 29 and this year it has been 23!!! wtf.

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 31 December 2005 02:44 (twenty years ago)

After being 42.5C in ADL yesterday, it's "only" 38C today. They reckon we'll get an evening thunderstorm, so NYE might not be that sufferable after all.

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Saturday, 31 December 2005 02:46 (twenty years ago)

We're not getting 42 after all, its only 25 right now, not too bad at all! Thank gawd.

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Saturday, 31 December 2005 03:00 (twenty years ago)

i'm starting to get a bit scared that our lack of summer is going to be promptly succeeded by some kind of sweltering 40+ heatwave that lasts for 2 solid months. that would be even less pleasant than wearing a jumper to a nye party.

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 31 December 2005 03:06 (twenty years ago)

the polite thing to do would be to share some of that heat with us, your chilly western cousins.

happy 2006, y'all.

― edward o (edwardo), Saturday, 31 December 2005 17:35 (twenty years ago)

happy new year mongrels!!! i do not envy your 40 degree heat business one bit but IT IS RAINING in dunedin, pfft. oh my god the renderers were so good. they played three sets and most of the first set was old skool stuff. and they NEVER play the old stuff. before the third set my friends dragged me to a party which had a PIG ON A SPIT ewwwwww but my crush from two years ago was flirting with me and it was great but awful too, i think she was just flirting with me cos she was drunk. what do you guys think? she kissed me three times on the cheek (she isn't one of those air-kissy kinda people) and encouraged me to feel her butt (after she sat on someone's sandwich tho). but her ex girlfriend was at the party and i think they still have unfinished business. girls are so confusing.

what did everyone else do????

I might have the odd glass of red to relax me occasionally, and a light beer from time to time, but any more ain't gonna be good for me. (I SOUND LIKE TRAYCE GO ON MOLERAT POST YOUR FISH PHOTO).

Saw the fireworks from a great location but can't remember where. No really drunk or abusive people around. There was some guy playing crusty pop classix on an acoustic outside some pub and I danced around to that. Is it true that when you are sloshed off your face on gin, champagne and beer that "500 Miles (I'm Gonna Be)" is actually the best communal singalong song ever, even though at most other times it's kind of annoying?

― edward o (edwardo), Sunday, 1 January 2006 02:36 (twenty years ago)

I stayed home and watched bad santa (fantastic), the song remains the same (unintentional roffles), and the last waltz (surprisingly excellent as I have never really been interested in the band in any way whatsoever). I then fell asleep on the couch. it was a bit of a quiet one.

the jacket is indubitably ace, I hope you wore it to the Brit60sArt exhibition and someone looked for your pricetag. I'm sure Moley edges me on the snappy dressing front, esp. with the co-ordinated ties. My day-to-day style is v. more casual, though I'd happily be dressed and sent out by Kate.

I like his pose! It's 50's braggadocio. A little awkwardness is part of the, erm, James Deanesque vulnerability of the aesthetic.

― ratty, Friday, 6 January 2006 02:16 (twenty years ago)

The girl's pose is equally contrived, in this way that is oddly appropriate for the rockabilly aesthetic. I don't know, maybe I'm not making sense.

Yeah, I fancy one of them at least has had some kind of tertiary music education. I like to think I can hear that in a band's arrangements.

ZGT bands are always PACKED with hott rockabilly (and goth, oddly) girls. Either in packs, or attached to bequiffed bruisers with packs o' cigs rolled in the shirtsleeve. Last time I saw them, they had a team of burlesque girls from Melbourne doing shows in between the bands, it would have been Kate heaven. (Photos here, including a bloke I w0rk with in one of the supports.)

I'm pretty sure Stu [the lead singer/songwriter] didn't have formal tertiary music education, he went to Newcastle and did design or video or something. But he's been working at it for a long time, I've been going to see him play since Boxing Day 1987.

i dunno haitch. maybe you could get some pointy toed shoes with a coloured suede insert to pick up the stripes and do your hair in a quiff. rockabilly can be all about the jacket with the tie can't it? the WA undertreasurer is a mad keen rockabilly fan, he fully wears the whole 50s retro get-up with the coloured suits and wide ties. i always think he looks awesome. it is a bit disconcerting in meetings and such though.

i did a few searches for cheesecake pin up pics after your first one kate. i love the look of them, all the bright colours and boyleg undies and whatnot. the ruffle knickers are tops

Hey, from this thread: /ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=40&threadid=46332

What I heard was one of the scariest things of my life. It sounded like a collaboration between Merzbow and The Books. There was a layer of pure noise and on top of that were various sampled sounds. I'd hear the mumbling of conversation, suddenly a full on scream from somebody else, another voice say something inaudable, and other unrecognizable sounds. The entire thing had a certain rythm to it.

Almost perfectly describes my new band!

I haven't found any this time around, but walk around the woods long enough and you're likely to kick up an indian arrowhead up to 10,000 years old.

Sadly, I don't have a scanner and The Advertiser doesn't have the kitty on the website...but here's a transcript.

Now that's one Mein Ktaz

It's not just we at Confidental who think Hallett Cove kitty Nemo bears an uncanny and unfortunate resemblance to a certain reviled German dictator.

Owners Sharon, Ashlee and Erin reckon they have had between 10 and 15 people wander down their driveway just to tell them "gee, your cat looks like Adolf Hitler".

Nemo sports the perfectly plastered black fringe as well as the signature moustache.

"Everyone says it," Sharon says. "It's funny to see people's reactions sometimes. They stop, do a double take and come a little bit closer. Then they ask if we've drawn it on."

It's not. Nemo was born with the Nazi leader's features.

According to my [unpublished] etiquette book, people with beards should never eat pastry.

I have a lot of other rules in there besides that one.

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 04:11 (twenty years ago)

hey Ned, does the Darwin-Adelaide train give you the option to get out and spend a day here or there in Alice or Coober Pedy, eg? Or does it just barrel relentlessly through the desert, charging from night to dawn like a great steel ...cock? if the latter, it's possibly not worth it, just because so much of the NT warrants unhurried, leisurely contemplation rather than hi-speed sightseeing. if the former, then TOTALLY GO FOR IT.

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 04:18 (twenty years ago)

i think it does give that option of hopping off and strolling around. i thought about going on it last year to meet up with my brother in adelaide, but i couldn't afford it. it's more pricy than i was (perhaps naively) expecting. i guess that wouldn't matter so much though if you were (a) not a poor(ish) student and (b) travelling on US$.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 04:22 (twenty years ago)

According to my sub-clauses croissants count as pastry so people with beards aren't allowed them. Vegemite scrolls are on the bread/pastry border, meaning people with neatly-trimmed goatees or similar may partake but the full beard and moustache brigade may not. They can have a plain bread roll, though only if they take it outside on the grass and eat it where no one has to watch. They must carefully wipe their beard with a napkin after eating or I will lock the sliding door and pull down the blinds.

In the 'trains' chapter there are gentle but heartfelt exhortations against the practice of comparing trains with penises.

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 04:27 (twenty years ago)

i was hoping you would elaborate on the contents of said book estela. the detail of the beard etiquette leads me to wonder if perhaps mr estela is bearded/moustachioed

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

just because so much of the NT warrants unhurried, leisurely contemplation rather than hi-speed sightseeing.

I'm sure Ned will take the opportunity for some 200k nude van surfing, but yer Olgas and whatnot do impress more if you spend a few hours wandering around and then watching 'em change colour as the sun sets than if your bus tour trundles past and a bloke says "CGZRRRHSSTCH ON THE RIGZHT OF THE BUZS ARE THE OLGASZ, OTHERCHWISE KNOWN AS KATA TJUTKA TBZZTCGH".

THE ESTEBAN BUTTEZ REVIEW OF THE NEW TUGBOAT ALBUM:

I like the cover. I don't know if I'll go to the bother of finding an actual physical copy of the album. But I do like the cover. Especially the oranges. Nothing wrong with a good orange. Full of Vitamin C, Damo Suzuki!

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 14:19 (twenty years ago)

I still think it's a splendid album, Jim. Reminds me of back when I used to go to Candle Records showcases, in a good way.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 14:31 (twenty years ago)

Could it use an Esteban Buttez spoken word track? Most albums these days could use an Esteban Buttez spoken word track.

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Wednesday, 11 January 2006 14:33 (twenty years ago)

You can have a spoken word track when MC Stylised Vadge gets around to making an elpee.

From the Br*g (with 4 stars out of 5:

Jim, Bek and jeremy are three Melbourne individuals who for a nice little music entity. Tuggers motor alonf a popsteam inhabited by wonderful, well-read bands of the late 80's like Galaxie 500 (who incidentally have a little tune named Tugboat). The expert sound quality of 'Two Schools of thought' immediately hits you like a spray from a shaken bottle of bubbly popped at close range. You are invited to bathe in its lush sonics. Bek's drumming is crisper than a box of cracked cookies. Jim's vocals are purer than freshly-fallen snowflakes (Ratty comments: we have a new nickname for you, jim: 'Snowflake'). Jeremy is the wizened bassplayer/keeper of the truth. Opening track 'War Against Silence' is a sweetly swiling psych pop souffle. 'Apples is just as good, probably even better. It's dangerous for the simple fact Bek is on vocals instead of Snowflake and she has the tendency to make indie boys swoon. I know this because I'm friends with some of them and I am usually the one who has to resuscitate them. 'Tiny tales' is so deeply pretty I have to listen to it more than once at a time (five times in one day is uncommon, however it has been done before). 'Off-side' is riotous guitar pop, reminiscent of late-period Clean. The album itself is nicely paced with some songs stopping short of the 2-minute mark, others edging past three, yet none exceed four (Ratty comments: jim, never EVER force me to do this again), except the illuminating 'You can't Lose...' which clocks in at 6.08 and evokes an atmospheric super-jam featuring the Pastels and MBV that you wish went on for another sic. There could only be one school of thought about 'Two Schools...' and that would be that there's thirteen shimmering sonfs so necessary you wonder where they've been all your life. The best thing to come out of Melbourne since Origami, SLICE.

― ratty, Thursday, 12 January 2006 01:05 (twenty years ago)

Ok I made that last bit up.

― ratty, Thursday, 12 January 2006 01:06 (twenty years ago)

speaking of annoying or possibly endearing national icons, do you australians get the advanced hair studio ads on tv, with the washed up old cricketers like david boon and martin crowe and shit i think the less washed-up shane warne is on them? and does anyone else find them utterly enthralling?

and not a problem re haitch confusion.

and i don't know anything about your crushgirl, but feel free to update away. everyone loves hearing about other people's romances i think. especially me.

― estela (estela), Thursday, 12 January 2006 02:20 (twenty years ago)

okay, update... she didn't take me on a date yet! the flow got interrupted on saturday night. we went to a vegetarian bbq and em's ex got drunk and quite jealous cos em kept flirting with me (fuck she's a charmer! helped me with the arduous task of picking biddybids out of my crimplene blazer). ex slides down steep bank 3 times and crashes heavily on the concrete. our friend andy gives her a stern telling off cos we were all worried she would break a limb. later on after some pool we were on our way to karaoke and ex picks a rather public fight with em cos em didn't ask her how she was after the bank-sliding incidents. we all leave them to it and keep looking for karaoke bars.

so yeah EX issues as predicted. but its finally died down! after our jam yesterday the ex very graciously declined to come to our trip to the beach and to our screening of glen or glenda, giving me and em heaps of alone time. its progressing slowly but surely and i like her and the feeling is mutual :-). i'm pretty nervous about the possibilities cos i have known for ages that i liked girls but never been with one before. its also ace cos i didn't think any lesbian would ever want to date an inexperienced bi woman who already has a boyfriend.

I'm going to use the term 'vinyl-ist dogma' in every conversation from now to the end of time. Soon everyone is going to think, "that guy knows a lot about music!"

Or, "no wonder he doesn't get laid".

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Friday, 13 January 2006 04:52 (twenty years ago)

― chocolate orgone accumulator (haitch), Friday, 13 January 2006 05:10 (twenty years ago)

Actually, I've had rational discussion with Geir lots of times. It's usually OTHER people who get him all het up! On this occasion, though, he's talking absolute crap.

Nobody is going to start using "rockist subtractivism" in everyday parlance.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 13 January 2006 05:12 (twenty years ago)

i appear to have a large dark inkblot in my memory.

the only rational discussion you have with geir is if you use limits. you know he's in "here". you go "here". its rational i guess. like a game.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 13 January 2006 05:14 (twenty years ago)

no no no no. just saying if gier is defensible cos he's rational i am not interested. coming to an i love music board for rationality is kind of strange. i am not interested in "rationality" and music. just like i'm not particularly interested in saying "ew, kissing...what a weird thing...highly irrational"

i dug out 100's of cds i thought were maybe just kind of almost ok today and the kids and i did a "ok or not" test - ie shall i throw them in the garbage (i though they were all candidates)

the kids have done this for me before. i play them a couple of trax - they say "thumbs up" or "thumbs down"

lotsa so-so drum'n'bass, electronica, indie rock, avant twitterings.

the only ones they gave thumbs down to was like sahara hotnights or shit. anything that had a guitar basically.

the avant weirdness they gave thumbs up to immediately.

anything that started with a synth float and a loop bryn thumbs upped within 10 seconds. dylan - wearing a headband and cut-off womens tights - swayed for up to a minute with his eyes closed then "thumbs up" too.

ah, my kids.

then we had cake.

what was she wearing?

A sparkly top (that looked like a dress, but appeared to cinch in and stay still at the waist, so I'm assuming it was a top) that tied behind her neck. Black material and black not-sequins. Long hair in a ponytail, possibly held in a vertical clip. Couldn't tell about bellybutton down, she was behind decks and is wee. I'm guessing faded blue jeans, though.

Her DJing style was: fade one record down, fade another record up, wander away while beefy bloke kneeling on the floor behind turntables plays with effects rack a bit and sampler a lot. Except she stood there and mouthed along with the Richard X remix (I think) of No More Conversations by Freeform Five, and on something by Goldfrapp (maybe a version of Number 1?), sampler bloke captured the beat and kept it going while she slowly backspun to the top of the verse. We left before she finished though (the place was half-empty by then already), maybe there was some stunning display of turntable skillz by the end, like actually mixing the end of one record into the beginning of the next.

― kit brash (kit brash), Monday, 16 January 2006 01:33 (twenty years ago)

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!! (ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!!), Monday, 16 January 2006 01:53 (twenty years ago)

The Modular bloke on before her wasn't much cop either, he kept dropping the wrong fader early on so the song would cut out, crashed the beats a lot, and played a ludicrous streak of Moving On Up at +11 followed by a LIVE VERSION of Ask at +2 and then some-other-old-indie-song-I-like-but-not-at-+5-and-not-when-I-want-to-dance... later on he was playing Justice-y/SebastiAn-y stuff but couldn't capitalise on a build-up ever, and he was on for like 2 hours between the time they said "DJ Annie up next!" and Annie actually coming out.

The dancefloor got COMPLETELY PACKED for the live set by Van She, aka the Wolfmother of 2006, in that they got signed to Modular after three gigs and apparently have a fashion/hipster buzz. The bloke from the Bumblebeez was listed as DJing, but just walked around in a New York basketball singlet. Let down or lucky escape? YOU DECIDE.

― kit brash (kit brash), Monday, 16 January 2006 02:04 (twenty years ago)

DJing is a huge scam. I should know, I benefitted from it for ten years. I never had decks at home and learned how to beatmix at various events. It's easy to do! A piece of piss. And people thing you are GREAT because you can play records. Unbelievable.

With I&S, after we twigged that people though our gigs were just DJ spots anyway, we stoppped taking our studio gear, and just took a handful of CDs instead.

Trayce's fave at karaoke:

Well I'm rather upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all

I've got big balls
I've got big balls
They're such big balls
And they're dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire

I've got big balls
Oh I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

(oh) We've got big balls
We've got big balls
We've got big balls
Dirty big balls
He's got big balls
She's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

(oh we've got big balls, we've got big balls...)
And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we have such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish... (but we've got the biggest balls of them all)

We're having a games night here. Cait's on Diablo 2, Casey (Cait's bro) is annihilating motherfuckers in F.E.A.R. and I'm fighting the forces of evil in Marvel Legends II. We're such nerds who are hurting without a broadband connection.

Atlanta on wednesday. CNN Center and World of Coke await. On the weekend we drove a disgusting distance to visit Andersonville, a confederate prison from the Civil War. Very creepy place, a huge windblown expanse with bits of the reconstructed stockade. Not a place I'd like to be at night.

Coming from northern Georgia we drove into SW Georgia - this is the land of plantations, abandoned graveyards and scary looking churches. I felt like I driving through a Stephen King novel.

there is this remix that got posted on the maurice fulton thread on ilm a couple of weeks ago, the first couple of minutes are obviously sequenced, then there's a drum solo/breakdown and the beat starts again, but with what sounds like really sloppy live drumming over the top. (although I have a feeling that this may also be programmed funnily enough.) it sounds AMAZING.

I just had an incredibly embarrassing experience. I'm standing at the bus gateway in town and this girl comes up to me to ask me for the time and directions to somewhere. For once, I actually know so I tell her, and she's kind of staring at my arm for some reason - for like 10 seconds after I gave her the answer. She thanks me and says "Oh, cheers man, you're SO nice!" and I'm thinking "What's going on?".

Ah yes, she's staring at my arm because under it I have a urine sample bottle, and a piece of paper with my name on it and all the tests I'm having done. Way to overshare accidentally with a stranger, idiot. (Nothing serious, mongrels, worry not).

My friends came over unexpectedly last night. I ended up drinking all the wine I'd bought for today :( I felt like shit today and didnt even get our of bed til 3pm. The house is a farking pigsty and it is SO HOT in here I almost cant breathe.

Jim sorry about that, I really was looking forward to hanging out but I'd be no fun like this. I'd say lets do tomorrow but ffs its gonna be 43 or something obscene.

Estela, you have inspired me in song. Ahem.

(curtain draws back: orchestra plays swirling introductory piece in the style of Daedelus only seasick before settling into a classic Hollywood showtune as always seen on the Simpsons):

I'm wasting my time on chilled white wine
What's it ever done for me?
I'm wasting my time on chilled white wine
When I could cut all my ties and be free

For I know that out there there's a merlot with flair
Or, instead, a dry red, for the quaffing
Then again, there's champagne, we could sit by the Seine
And a thousand baguettes we'd be scoffing

But... (backing choir enters, and orchestra swells)

I'm still wasting my time on chilled white wine
I'm a dupe and victim and fool
I'm wasting my time on chilled white wine
Tasteless, transparent and cool

(little drunken tap dance routine, then gypsy quartet plays cheeky waltz):

What is about such a stringent drink
That brings out the cash in the girls who wear pink?
In a land that is giving us world class shiraz
See them quaff on a spritzer while listening to jazz

(chorus)

― jim p. irrelevant (electricsound), Sunday, 22 January 2006 12:11 (twenty years ago)

Gods I feel unwell. I think a combo of overheatedness, not enough to eat (too hot to eat innit), and perhaps not enough water (havent had hardly any booze mind you) is doing it. I feel like shite.

At the start of the week I thought I had a slightly sore back, but it's not really like that and it's has become increasingly worse. It's more of a nagging achey pain than anything "structural". So I don't know, but it isn't getting better, just worse. I've been getting a reasonable amount of sleep but I've felt lethargic and worn out all week.

― She's been known to sleep on piles of dry leaves... (papa november), Sunday, 22 January 2006 12:28 (twenty years ago)

Some dickheads thought he was tied to the back deck. He just landed on a rope, thats all.

AHAHAH oh man. You should put a v pointed rude caption to the pic that says "NOTE: this owl is sitting on some rope, not tied down, but some blind morons seem to need this pointed out". =)

Funny you should mention that:

"He's not tied up. Just happened to land on rope we had there. I mean c'mon, you can totally see both his feet are free of the rope!"

Given where the rope is, I would've had to tie this Tawny Frogmouth up by the balls as both his feet are plainly visible.

Kate, you should start up a website called 'animals in bondage' and start taking pictures of animals who happen to be standing on ropes.

So did you end up escaping the SF airport at all? ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 02:33 (twenty years ago)

YES! We caught the BART (their MET) into town and took a cable car down to the Golden Gate area and had lunch, before walking to Fisherman's Wharf. SUCH a beautiful city! We are so moving there!

THEY HAVE IPOD VENDING MACHINES AT THE AIRPORT!

IT SHITS ON MELBOURNE! S-H-EEEEEEEYE-AY-TEE-ESSS ON IT!

Yeah but... HILLS! TOO MANY HILLS.

Still. Noice.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 03:21 (twenty years ago)

Ah, but Trayce, that's what the Cable Cars are for! And hell, the Cable Cars are an ADVENTURE! You're SURE you're going to hit someone and the things build up quite a bit of speed. It's an adventure every time you go down to the milkbar!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 03:34 (twenty years ago)

You can never have too many hills Trayce. Those humps. Those humps. Those lovely ley line lumps.

Shit, I clicked on that and I'm at work. ARGH.l

It's a just a woman with her rather thick tongue caught in a oddly shaped wall.

― She's been known to sleep on piles of dry leaves... (papa november), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:03 (twenty years ago)

Oh no! I clicked on it again to see if you were right. Haha.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:07 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha. OK now I am NOT clicking on it.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:14 (twenty years ago)

I didn't even have the choice, not having suppressed my images. Gee THANKS. New thread please.

'Hey baby, would you like to check out my oddly shaped wall?'.

Um, that is the genuine Hitlercat then? I'm a tiny bit disappointed.

― ratty, Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:16 (twenty years ago)

Oh, can I start the new thread? I've never done one before.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 24 January 2006 04:20 (twenty years ago)
