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

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

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

not you estela.

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

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

Anyone who purports to manage anything is a fuckhead.

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

So you see actually I am a deadshit:)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I am an ixus pwner. SO good.

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

how many megapixels do i need for happy snaps?

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

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

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

mine is 7.1 mp, just in case!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

agree on digital zoom, it's a wank.

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

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

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 02:26 (twenty years ago)

I have a little 4 megapixel sony cybershot and it's great.

I was thinking this thread could do with a touch of glamour, and behold! miss gem is off to the ball. What are you going to wear? Will you slip away at midnight leaving heartbroken swains in your wake?

Keep away from the troubadors as they can be pests.

― estela (estela), Friday, 12 August 2005 02:43 (twenty years ago)

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

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

sassy!

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Friday, 12 August 2005 02:50 (twenty years ago)

It sounds lovely, gem.

PIX! etc.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 02:55 (twenty years ago)

assuming i get my new toy of course there will be pics! almost all of my uni buddies are going, should be ace... we've fielded 3+ tables of grad students which i think is pretty good going. i can't wait to see everyone tarted up especially the boys in their schmick suits. and meet some people's significant others and whathaveyou as well. it's at the hyatt too, a step up from challenge sports stadium in 2003 and 2004. yay!

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

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

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

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

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

i shouldn't think so!

the scattered order lps are another story. contrary to what i thought, i only have their volition years which are reasonably good but start to get a bit sucky around 'comfort'..

― jimmy glass (electricsound), Friday, 12 August 2005 03:58 (twenty years ago)

no dismay estela, I had a bit of a roffle at that post! mind you I did bring down the tone a bit.

hey jim do you know anything about this darling downs album of kim salmon and ron peno's? it sounded intriguing when I read about it in the EG before.

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

congrats gaz! feel good?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And yay on getting out of the hellhole of essbeeess!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 06:51 (twenty years ago)

imagine how great your weekend is going to be gaz! sounds like tafe will have classes to tide you over in the mean time as well. you must feel like a load has lifted.

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

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