cassettey
Last night I went with Lisa to see cassette play at bar bodega, man I miss that place,
I haven’t been there since last year, in fact I am sure that the last time I was there Was for the fur patrol un-hinged gig, hell, that was like august??? Maybe I have been there since, but I was probably drunk, and don’t remember. Ahh well, that’s how it is I guess….
Well a bit of background on cassette, they are a wellington band that skipped the nest early last year For Melbourne, yes every wellington band seems to do that I know. Read more →
bad mood river
hey now little speedyhead…
I have so much work to do, but i cannot focus, i don’t really know why,
before i was fine, now, i am just a useless piece of shit< ..only just light years to go..... lacking any concentration on my work.... its really bad,
but i am sure I will figure out what it is i am waiting on..
…this life that pass before my eyes…Nothing is going my way…
argh… i guess my mood isn’t helping, sometimes i wonder why i am even awake, why not just go to bed, and sleep till the next day, when maybe, something might happen.
musically retarded
I am listening to drive by R.E.M. and Francine just came in, and asked
me if i was listening to ben harper, I am trying my hardest to be nice
but she is musically clueless. I offered her my copy of salmonella dub’s killervison, and she refused, then a day later we where listening to
the radio in the car and she commented on how she liked the song, which was off killervision that was playing on the radio, she didn’t want the cd
cause she didn’t recognise any of the tracks welcome to the 91zm-feed-me-by-a-spoon-music generation
sad isn’t it?
rave vs rock
I went to Tim finn… fuck it was awesome! I think I had the best night out since Nelson, 🙂 but i went to DJ energy, which would have been good, except i pulled a muscle in my shoulder which meant i essentially wasted $30 cause i couldn’t dance anymore… I had a wee chat to Mash which was actually quite nice, and I did smile at grooving round with Prof and Becca, it was almost like old times, well not really… I think one thing I learned was that I prefer the outdoor rave scene, and not clubs with skanky whores… phoenix is full of awful skanks… Read more →
It Doesn’t Hurt To Ask For Help
Nah nah nah nah hey Jude… Yes I am waiting on the phone for Inland Revenue…. I have been on hold for 30 minutes, and well the hold music doesn’t seem to be getting any more interesting…. It seems to be a Beatles marathon, apparently…not that its bad… but well…stupid government services… well a week in the flat city is taking its toll… its damn cold, but I am finally getting used to it, and well certain flats are colder than others… “Thank you for holding, all of our customers services representatives are busy at the moment, please hold to retain your place in the queue” …… gah!
My Cat is a Mononrail*
* i have no cat, this might be a lie.
prof: “when a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat’s back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. if enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system”
okay… so my friends are geeks with too much time on their hands….
