Can't You Just Fix It For Me

Dresden Dolls - Roundhouse - Awesome.

The hat paid off, only there was a limit as to how far me and coote could push it - there wasn't quite the proof of age that would've made us work a little harder to make something of it. as it was, just fun to lift a girl up so she can check out the band. and the dude with the accordion at the start, absolutely brilliant. especially when he came back onstage to do Bon Jovi - Living on a Prayer with the Dresden Dolls. Beer was good too, at least the carlsbergs i had before i came and was forced to down New. god, if you start with good beer, you gotta stick to it. bad beer just seems worse when you know what you're missing.

Nights out cost a lot of lost thesis time, It'd be nice to sober up some, get some dinner into me, and get back into it.

There's Things I Want To Talk About...

...But here isn't right. I'm not sure they should be talked about. there's a family matter. and a loud angel of many years ago. It's only 10:26. and I have to clear my mind of these things to get thesis done. but these things deserve time.

ah, I dunno.

I'm gonna need a long day at the beach when all this is over. a long way away. with an appropriately sized esky. and something to read that doesn't convince me that america has failed to grasp the unipolar moment. cos right now every little piece of thesis seems to say the end is fuckin' nigh. and we are going to be strange artifacts in a new world - holding on to those little bits of american culture that survive, while our kids swear at us in cantonese, and scoot off to their madrassa on an italian electric scooter.

A lot of other people need the beach too. here's hoping they get to enjoy it.

Oh, Lord.

So kev's phone's volume knob died, and he's convinced me to use my old n-gage while he borrows mine till they've repaired his. eeww. I mean really. the concept was cool, but the execution was awful. I think only a couple of thousand were sold.

I've been using it for ten minutes, and my thumbs have that familiar ache again. the menu's really frustrating, and I'm just dreading having to pull it out and use it in front of anyone. still, it'll probably only be the next two days I'll be out and using it.

and playing tony hawk, probably.

Cos I'm Lonely, But I Ain't That Lonely Yet

So just read about this dude who posted a fake female identity on a hook-up site, and then posted the information that people sent within the first 24 hours. another good reason not to hit this place up.

MC Lars'song 'Internet Relationships' has several other reasons - like the 34 yo with a wooden leg who likes to sniff glue, or the 15 yo who 'just has to be 18 how could she not'.

but the main one for me is, that there has to be a better way to meet people. things like that prank show that people are just as likely to hide who they really are online as they are off. most people don't even know what they're really like - I've got no idea how i'd be described by a girl I know telling another to give me a go (It's happened at least once). and then it's a whole other level - how do you know what one person thinks of an individual is the same way another would perceive that same person?

Sometimes a spark'll hit you, like this girl i've seen on the bus and down my street sometimes. absolutely captivating, but is that any measure of how well we'd synch? I might be questioning myself a bit more than i'd normally would given the amount of time I'm spending on my own studying, but hey. whatever. finish thesis, get a lazy job, and go to the beach as much as weather permits. go out when I can. it'll happen whenever it damn well wants to, and not a second before.

We Hardly Knew You...


I know it was yesterday, but still, mindbendingly devastating news that the most excitable aussie icon to have graced these shores had passed on just off them, victim to the suprisingly fatal shock of a stingray. If anything, he taught us that there were a lot of 'Dain-jah-russ' animals out there, and by crikey you'd better be a trained professional to handle them wild creatures. and even that wasn't enough to save this one from this last attack.

snap of the timbertown sign from one of those traveljobs. could you tell it was timbertown?

Crossing The Rubicon

I've been watching Rome in my spare time from Thesis that hasn't been spent drinking, recovering from drinking, or at the beach basking in the glorious 28 degrees or in the 20 degree water (I change my mind. swimming on the first day of spring = global warming is good.) and I'm reminded of some reference somewhere that mentions Bush's invasion of Iraq as akin to 'The Crossing of the Rubicon'. When Caesar was returning from Gaul, he was heading back to a senate that wanted to impeach the consul for his illegal war. by crossing the rubicon as a soldier, instead of as a citizen, he disregarded the law and set Rome on the path to a military dictatorship. Bush rejected international law, but really any comparison to Caesar is unfair to the Emperor of Rome. Bush in Iraq is failing every imperial objective in Iraq immensely.

really, if HBO were here, i'd get a job to pay for it. after thesis of course.

Oh yeah, anyway, I went to the Beach with Pete on Sat. first day of spring, and the weather was so gorgeous. if only the apartment would reflect that, we really have to move out of this dank hole. the Rent increase in Nov is totally unjustified. an extra $10 a week may be the straw that breaks our backs, and high time to move out, put kev and jess on a lease to improve their credit rating.
