woohoooh!

hows it going adam? work seems to be taking off very rewardingly for you.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 12 August 2005 08:00 (twenty years ago)

Fuck yeah, they seem to love me for some reason. How's yours going now?

hallo ads. I am eating cupasoup and a sammich for dinner cos I was a dumbarse and left my wallet at home so had to borrow some monies from dom.

i am shaky as fuck personally. but it is nice to be treated with some kind of respect. i expect you are feeling the same?

trayce: any opportunites/possibles? you need to change obv..

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 12 August 2005 10:38 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 12 August 2005 11:25 (twenty years ago)

Morning Mongrels.

― I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel / Kate (papa november), Friday, 12 August 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

Morning!

― moley, Friday, 12 August 2005 22:32 (twenty years ago)

I spend part of each night, locked in a room full of rotting corpses in order to understand the transitory nature of life and that all will ruin. Sometimes Caitlin brings me a sandwich.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 12 August 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

Also, it's the ILM crowd who most often shit their minds over here on ILE.

OMG the dude who took this picture:

Just emailed me and said if I'm ever in NYC we should meet up and work together.

Wow, I know kids are hard to grab the interest of at schools nowadays, but really!

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

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.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 13 August 2005 08:27 (twenty years ago)

Morning Mongrels.

― I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel / Kate (papa november), Saturday, 13 August 2005 20:06 (twenty years ago)

Morning Kate. That news about the photographer is excellent, you must be floating right about now

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!

― I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel / Kate (papa november), Sunday, 14 August 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I was going to volunteer this year, but it was the pilot program (restricted to the ministry staff) and I thought I was going to America.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Sunday, 14 August 2005 01:04 (twenty years ago)

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.

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

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

nice. the kates are on fire! i like frozen coola cordial icypoles, those ones in the bag. what were they called? funny faces?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:32 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Bombed Out and Depleted / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 03:56 (twenty years ago)

i work an adminny job at a uni, which includes covering the uni switchboard during breaks. i think i've successfully transferred three calls in the entire time i've been here. these people do not want to be reached!

― 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

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:22 (twenty years ago)

Hello again mongrels. I am, implausibly, going on an audition for that preposterous TV show T3mptation, that I never watch.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:25 (twenty years ago)

Heheh. I know someone (I wont say who, I'd be killed) who was on Sale once, a few years ago. She fell out in the first round, but argh.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:29 (twenty years ago)

what tv show is that? temptation hmmmm could it be a naughty version of perfect match?

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:29 (twenty years ago)

I was considering gameshowing. Cait and I would DESTROY Who Wants To Win A Fuckload Of Money.

I have directed my energies once again on exercise, eating right and a zen insane vision quest kind of deal...

...I know Trayce, go for a run around the block and then do 50 pullups!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:32 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 04:56 (twenty years ago)

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.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

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.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 05:37 (twenty years ago)

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.

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.

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.
