enrol to vote

friday is that last day you can enrol to vote for this year's election. our prime minister, john howard, shook my brothers hand. you stay away from my little brother you evil chipmunk bastard!

seriously though, dont be swayed by the extra money he gave out to everyone with kids. he was buying votes. he sent us money so we would vote for him. you know that he lies, you know that he kisses george w bush's ass when it comes to whatever he believes in. have a look at this. john howard is on this guys team. you american people who im guessing, leave the decision of whether or not to vote to whether or not theres anything good on tv, need to vote this year. i know it didnt count last time, since he won anyway regardless of the votes, but im sure they'll count them properly this time.
as for you australians, vote properly this time. dont vote for the beer guy, or the one who has the coolest poster, vote for who is going to make our country somewhere that makes sense, stands up for itself with its own two feet and huddling behind some other countries president.


how my money was spent

last year i posted a pic of augustine, the girl from chad that we sponsor. i got sent an update on how she's doing last week. apparently the money that we've been sending has enabled her to be immunised against tetanus and meningitis, and she's been given tablets for worms. she's not old enough to go to school yet, so it hasnt bought her any books or pencils or a school uniform. i guess that's why they sent me a photo of her wearing this



my guess is that she made it herself in a factory down the road...or track, i guess. matt thinks they should have spent the money buying her a longer broom handle.

she doesnt look happy, does she? and she's not wearing the necklace i sent her which makes me wonder if she even got it.
heeheeheeeeeee

One day a pair of whales, Lucy and Fred, were swimming along when they came across their friend Ned, who looked terribly sad. They asked him what was wrong.

Ned said, “You see that boat up there? It killed my father.”

Fred said, “That’s terrible. But I know what we can do. We’ll take deep breaths, swim under the boat, then exhale and upset the boat. And then we’ll eat the sailors.”

Ned thought this was a great idea, but Lucy said, “Fred, Fred, if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times. I don’t mind doing blowjobs, but there’s no way I’m swallowing any seaman.”

Two nuns are riding bicycles down an unfamiliar road.

One nun says, “I’ve never come this way before.”

The second nun says, “It must be the cobblestones.”

~~~~

ok, this one made me laugh so much i cried...

Why do woman wear makeup and perfume?

Because they’re ugly and they smell.

i know my sense of humour is bizzarre

and now for my joke....

one day there was a snail who was selling encyclopedias. he slid up to a front door and knocked. the man inside opened the door, looked around and couldnt see anyone until he looked down and saw the little snail.
"hello!" the snail said and smiled, "i'm selling encyclopedias"
the man picked up the snail, screamed "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!" and threw the snail across the garden.
two weeks later there was a knock on the mans door. he answered it and looked arouund, and again, it wasnt util he loked down that he noticed the snail sitting on his doorstep.
the snail looked up at him and said "what did you do that for??"

and off i go laughing myself silly..........

good news*

since the band themselves cant seem to update anything, i'll let you in on the good news. after slipping out of the top 20+1 last week on adelaides own three d radio, the velveteen habit shot to number 2 this week.

shall we all join together in a woohoo? i think so

woohoooooo

*good news that has nothing to do with god or the bible, whew
all you need do is ask

imagine, someone asking me to link to them and they dont even link me??? imagine this person just turning up out of nowhere and demanding me to link to them. i say demanding because i dont see any pleases or thankyous. did you not learn any manners? its not that hard to say please, or thankyou. and to type it its even easier because you can abbreviate it; pls, plz, ty or ta for instance. im trying to think of a proverb or whatever they are, a saying that you can remember to learn your manners but all i can think of are hold your horses and you're a beter door than a window. i wonder who was an impatient girl who stood dreamily in the way of people when she was little?

new section

got an idea for a new section, so heads up sean, put your html shoes on.

shouldnt be so nosey

im always sneaking roung the net to find out what people are saying about me. as usual, its nothing. but i did find this site that i hope no one confuses with me. my bits arent nearly as hairy as hers
seems there will be at least six, possibly eight charges laid against someone

yesterday went pretty well, apart from the whole driving in the city thing and the fact that there has to be stupid squares to go around instead of driving straight through which would allow me to go directly from one road to another instead of having to back track gah!

ok, so i got there and had a drink of water and calmed down a bit. talked to damian and it was cute cos he looked about as nervous as i was. i met jai, my prosecutor, and she's really nice. she has 3 kids aged 2, 4 and 6 so she gets the whole stressed out by the boys thing.
we went through everything and she's happy to proceed. she thinks i can do it and that we have enough evidence. her application has to go through to someone else and then somone else yadda yadda yadda...and i'll find out in a few weeks

~~~~

got paid $40 for working that one day. i dont think they really want me. apparently when i said that i feel weird making food for other people, they took that as i hated working there. meh, i dunno. i mean, it wasnt too bad. its not exactly what i want to do, but hey, its better than bunnings. i just dont think its going to be worth it. $160 a week, minus tax, petrol and childcare isnt gonna leave me much. we'd probably get the same amount of extra money if we didnt buy so much takeaway each week.

coles myer still havent gotten back to me. i checked my application online and its still "under consideration". theres still the job at jungle fever but its 35 hours a week. at casual rates that'd be some good money, but i dont think i could handle working that much, plus how many hours eli especially would have to be in childcare.

it'd be good if humblebee sold heaps of albums and we could just live off that money.

in other band related news, the velveteen habit were album of the week on three d last week, number 11 on the top 20+1 and have sold out of cds in all the shops the cds are in.

pretty bloody good

just incase you needed more proof of how cool i am

i told you that matt and i gave a rough rough incredibly rough demo of humble bee to mark from the lucksmiths? well, we did. and as you all know i am very impatient, so i went to the lucksmiths website and reminded them on their guestbook about our cd, 'just wondering what you guys thought...'

Hi guys!

Thanks again for the CD. Sorry I haven't been in touch, but quite honestly,
I've been flat out here in Tassie, doing manual labouring, and saving money
to go to London to see my girlfriend!! (Yippeeee, less than two weeks
now!!) But I've certainly been enjoying your music - you both have wonderful
ace voices! Are you playing shows soon? What's the plan? Are you playing
as a duo, or are you thinking of expanding to a huge swing orchestra? I look
foraward to hearing more of your tunes some day.

Take care.

xx Mark.

a big thankyou to sean for fixing all the ugly code in my template. i like all the new doohickeys blogger, but did you have to make my new template so messy?

also thankyou for all the pretties in that side bar
right now i'm thinking how much fun it would be to go and see some bands with darcie. im thinking a big day out kind of set up, except with only our favourite bands playing.

yeah, that'd be cool
