Turns out the answer to what will break next is my bedside lamp.

breaking shit

Monday, August 31st, 2009

So I broke the power supply for my laptop, which sucks and makes life generally a little awkward. This comes after breaking my watch, I had a shower, and went to put it on, and it died. WTF? I now can’t remember where I put the watch to see if I can fix it. I’m just waiting to see what dies next. My ipod gave some hints it would possibly take that honour.

Last night was David’s birthday. This is Hollan after a few too many Corona’s. I drew the slightly racist “tattoo” on his stomach with a vivid.

Ah

I have just been looking at old photography websites. I really like this picture.
The whole website I guess is in like russian or something, but the pictures are freaking awesome.

Last night, I was a bit of an arse to some people. I just have been feeling so fucked lately. Today I went to work and was sent home before 2pm because I looked like “poos”. Direct quote there.

I need to sort my shit out, really I do. I have not been managing things well or taking control lately, and I know its really stupid. I resolve that by the beginning of September that I will begin to act my age and all that stuff I know I should be doing. Living the party life is not becoming.

I’m trying to think of a “brighter” note to end on, but I’m struggling somewhat. I guess Spring is nearly here. There’s certainly a lot of blossoms on the trees and the weather has been a real mood lifter.

summer is coming

I hope I don’t speak too soon

Everything is Wonderful/Everything is Awful

My nose is runny. Its kind of gross.
Lots has been preying on my mind lately. One thing I can’t shake is that its nearly ten years since Luke passed away on that road trip back from Dunedin. It really doesn’t feel like it was that much of a forever ago. He died the night of my 6th Form Ball, Also Halloween. I’m not sure why this stuff sticks in my mind so clearly… being told and such.

I realise its important to tell your friends how much they mean more often. I missed this chance with a lot of people I’ve lost over the years. It is kind of painful to thnk about how many young people have met their end before they should have.

I guess, it makes me think about how much of my time I’ve wasted and not really made the most of. I want to embark on my adventure knowing I will make something of it. I want to really do something important in this world… but I’m not sure how and what. I hope that I can find the answers and know that in doing so people will appreciate their own worlds a little more.

Yes… that was quite emo.

Been feeling jaded as fuck last few days. Actually am feeling a little sick. Decided to rd trip the fuck out of Christchurch with Anton and Matt. Meeting up with Matt and Melinda in Karitane. Juat kinda half sleeping and dazed. Not looking forward to getting shots of cortisone in my shoulder to fix it up.

This seemed like a better idea than reality. (not actually at all what its like down here. more mellow, obvs.)

Thank fuck its Friday

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Glad its the weekend now. I’ve struggled through this week. I was told by the Physio this morning that I will need cortisone shots in my shoulder to heal.

Also… is it wrong to like a song because I reminds me of playing Monkey Island? Listen to Need to Shout by Architecture In Helsinki and tell me I’m ok.

so weekend?

So yeah

Had an attempt of an arts and crafts weekend, and kinda failed. But T’Nealle and I made this:

Which was pretty damn sweet.

Then we got distracted by this:


Oh, and Brand New Math played a Panda show on Friday.
They are pretty fucking good, as was the support band from Timaru (lolz) called These Dancing Wolves. Pretty much one of the best new bands I’ve seen in a while.. (from the door of a venue)

I’m sitting here going “Why has no one updated their blog in ages?”… and I realise I am just as guilty.
So tonight I had Sheep Tech. At the end of the show we played B.A.B.Y by the Brunettes and talked about their sub pop signing etc… I get home and go on with my search for something on the internetz worth looking at and stumble across an article on the Brunettes on EMJ.
There is a new song up on http://www.myspace.com/thebrunettes. Its called Red Rollercoaster. It doesn’t float my boat in the same way other Brunettes songs do, but its good to hear they are releasing new stuff. Sucks to hear they have departed from Sub Pop though.
