my weekend, oh, it will be busy

on friday, after work, i somehow need to get from work to town for the opening of the fringe and for sonic youth (thanks ben!). saturday, i'll be back in town for laneway, and then still in town for gosh. im thinking i might invite wally to gosh... brb, i just need to go do something. hmm. apparently you cant myspace someone when their status is set to 'away'. thats a shame

so, laneway, here's the time table

Uni Stage

11:15 – 12:00 aviator lane
12:20 – 1:05 no through road
1:25 – 2:10 okervil river
2:30 – 3:15 stars
3:35 – 4:20 broken social scene
4:40 – 5:25 the panics
5:50 – 6:35 clap your hands say yeah
7:00 – 7:45 feist
8:10 – 9:00 gotye
9:25 – 10:10 the presets


Fowlers Live Stage

12:00 – 12:40 the holidays
1:00 – 1:45 lady strangelove
2:10 – 2:55 bridezilla
3:20 – 4:05 darren hanlon
4:30 – 5:15 manchester orchestra
5:40 – 6:25 damn arms
6:50 – 7:35 little red
8:00 – 8:45 leader cheetah
9:10 – 9:55 the vasco era
10:20 – 11:05 devastations

so, my thinking is aviator lane, no through road, darren hanlon, the panics, clap your hands say yeah, feist, gotye, presets, and inbetween i'll wander back and forth checking out the bands i dont know. sounds like a plan to me.

after the presets it also might be a grand idea to go back to my car and sleep for a little while, then drink a coffee and a redbull and head off to gosh

home and away

i dont think ive watched home and away for around 5 years, i dont know whats going on. i do know that i saw on the front cover of tv week that milko was back! milko! i remember that. it was on at mums the other day. seems that after you leave all saints you're required to go on bad long running after dinner australian drama/soapies. theres an ambo and a receptionguy on there at the moment, and i remember both of them being better actors on all saints. ANYWAY that wasnt what i was writing about. did anyone watch it tonight? sally got stabbed, yeah, we all know about that, but she went to "heaven" (possibly, i flicked over half way through something) which was the caravan park house and it was empty except for a few token bits of furniture, and tom! tom was there! being all 'you have to make a choice' and 'heres what will happen if you die, and what will happen if you live', and basically, sally is like mother theresa or something that is all good and sweet and well with the world, because if she dies, the caravan park is going to turn into a wasteland and people will be walking around in the dust and wind with no shoes on getting really dirty, and there'll be teenage whores playing pool at the surf club and colleen will agree that she's a silly old lady and will go live in a nursing home near lancey and alf will say 'flamin'. well, ok, that last part isnt all that different. if sally lives, she;ll get to sit in a hospital bed and smile knowingly at people and try to convince them that god is real. freak

thanks babe, after 8 and a half years of parenting i would hope that i at least have some idea of how to make breakfast

how to annoy me while driving

indicate at the last possible second before changing lanes
or dont indicate at all, and just change
dont look while you're thinking about changing lanes, and then, when you almost hit me with your stupid bought by mum and dad car, look at me like it was my fault for being there in the first place
drive at 30ks in a side street 50 zone, turn the same way as me, and then drive 40ks on a main street 50 zone. its 50. just do 50. and if you're going to do 30 or 40, dont drive so i cant pass you, because you're shitting me and i'd prefer it if you were driving somewhere else. thankyou

how to annoy me if you are driving in the same car as me

change my gears for me. especially since i have an automatic
improper use of windscreen wipers (tom, i am looking at you). once the window is dry, they are not necessary, and should be turned off.

sorry

alright



or, if you'd rather



my birthday cant be at common people at the cumby anymore



i know! i know, its ok. apparently there are indie haters and everything has gone to shit

but! cry no more! wipe those tears away!





yes really

im just gonna do it the week after at gosh



you're all still invited

earlier tonight, if you had said there was a a hippopotamus on my roof eating cake i would have called you a liar. because, it most certainly wasnt eating cake. or, if it was, it was doing many other noisy things at the same time. possibly tap dancing. with a heard of elephants

but we would both have been wrong, wouldnt we?

because it wasnt a hippo, nor was it an elephant or a heard of elephants

it was ridiculous clancy, coming inside with some ridiculous squealing animal in her mouth

i cornered the ridiculous squealing animal in the bathroom and hid it in a pillowcase while clancy kept digging in the shower cubicle BECAUSE SHE IS RETARDED.

it was really really loud. and strong. it actually got its little hands and pushed them against my fingers to try and squeeze out of them. it was such a person thing to do, i almost let it go. instead, i said 'oi, stop' stared at it. it stopped. its stopped wriggling, its heart stopped beating stupidly fast and it winked at me. did you read that, internet? weird mouse/rat/marsupial thing winked at me! first it used its person hands to try and escape, and then it winked at me




if it does happen to be a person, transformed into a mouse/rat/marsupial thing for some reason, i hope it remembers the good deed i did by rescuing it from the stupid mouth of my stupid cat, and releasing it back into the world (full of other cats, i do realise this) and comes back and gives me a present

yesterday i saw juno and sweeny todd

*love*



if i ever get the chance to tell someone i love them, i want them to say 'wizard'

happy across the universe day

today was annoying

i had to be down on south road to drop my car in for a service at 9am. because i am stupid, i didnt write down the name of the place i was going to. i just figured it would be the one up the road from where i bought my car. cos, when i bought my car, he said 'we have a service centre, just up the road'. and when i called them to ask how i go about getting my car serviced, they just said 'i'll give you the number of our service centre down the road'. so, i turn up at the service centre to find that its one for fords. i do not own a ford. but i went in anyway, since it was just down the road from where i bought my car. no, my car was not booked in there. but there is a service centre for my car right down the other end of south road.

ugh

he asks me how long they have my car for. shouldnt that be a question im asking you? i said as little time as possible since i have no where to go now. i walk outside...and i dont know what to do. so i went down the creek and read rip it up. then i walked over to subway and counted their salads. they have 10 salads, including beetroot which you have to pay for. you also have to pay for avocado, but that wasnt in the serving area. therefore, their ad on tv is a lie.

that shopping centre is totally boring. woolies, chemist and two bakeries. the sign said they had a $2 shop, but it was closed. so i sat on the bench inside and played animal crossing until my batteries ran out.

then i remembered cheap as chips! back out onto the road, i walked along, stopping at vinnies which had nothing of interest for me. except the josie and the pussycats soundtrack.... and then over the road to cheap as chips. i am now the proud owner of a ratchet screwdriver and bit set, and have no need to ask voldemort to borrow his tools

after 2 hours i was able to pick up my car again and go home. now i need a nap

massive nerd

"i'm going to a blythe meet on sunday"
"oh my god. you're a massive nerd"
"yeah"
"hmm...at least its not trains"

today was lovely. after a sleep in i drove into the city to meet a lovely bunch of people and their dollies. we didnt get a group shot, but i took lots of photos which are on my flickr.

next i met up with ben, had BISCOTTINI! gelati, went back to his place for water and talking, and then came home. tomorrow im getting my car serviced. i think this means i'll be stuck on south road with no where to go til my car is ready, so if you're in the neighbourhood, send me a message

just cleaned out my car. ok, thats half a lie. i just took stuff out of my car.

three bags of rubbish, three bags of stuff to come inside

three bags full

although they didnt take up much room, i think the thing i had most of was vodka cruiser lids. so, i'd like to thank all the girls who have sat in my car over the last year and drank with me before dancey dancey. without you, this could not have been possible.

next up were shoes and books, and really shoes, books, and vodka cruisers pretty much sums up my life

am off to be a dolly nerd now, have fun!
