oh yeh ok...

last sunday i see... i am so scattered and such, as another weekend has been and gone already!
LAST SUNDAY: Zhivago play their first of four sundays at Uber in West End...
My new favourite person (yes, same as the previous one) who finally got back from Canadia and I drank a whole lot of beer (apparently it was only two though... *scratching head*) and then went to Chalk and bitched about how shite it was so went back to mine and watched I HEART HUCKABEES cuddled up under some blankets.

Exactly what I needed - a cruisey sunday arvo of catch-up.

This weekend was odd, apart from going to the races which i dont think i've done in like 5 years, went to the RE then into the Troubador for Charles Foster Kane, over to NY Slice and then GPO, tired and weary headed home.

after skimming over spoz's blog...

i feel I can't out-do him but I can at least give it a go...

Friday night... Pol's running late... we swing past the Snotcluster to return DVD's and grab energy drinx.... Pol sez "oh your joking, you legend" or something to that effect...
we drive to broadbeach... actually not really having any idea where we are going IN broadbeach, but hey, it's friday and it's an adventure...

we are looking for the blues on broadbeach festival to go visit pol's old pal chubby rae (aka Merissa) and her band, see her wail and inspire young girls all wearing stripes...

We watch some of edwin holt and renee geyer and head over to the broadbeach tavern, where our usually local MOJO WEBB is playing with band. It's very strange the broadbeach tavern, especially the fact that there are pictures of pauline hanson (eek!) and paul keating (not quite as bad) side by side on the wall... dodge-o-rama.

spent til approximately - well who knows what time... there, and then on to conrad jupiters... open 24 hours a day... and huge but particularly unexciting... so i drank with newly acquired friend andyroo at the bar and ran around the casino exploring.

we had to be out of the hotel reasonably early so got our sorry asses out of bed not too long after we seemed to get in there, and staggered into the sunshine muttering things like 'breakfast'... but not after smashing a bottle of nail polish on the balcony and singing songs from 'o brother where art thou?'...

had a HUGE breakfast at the coffee club and some nice conversation as well... hung around to see blind lemon and then frocked off back to brisneyland.

more on the hilarity and absolute bliss of my weekend shortly...

found this on my puter...

it's from the 3rd march 2006 but i never posted it... and i have no idea what i intended the title of the post to be either... suggestions welcome...

"and so bad and too affectionate and too silly indeed!

Last Saturday Sallie and I were torn as to whether or not to go out. In the end we went to the Rev to see The Gin Club, Iron On, Intercooler and the Giants of Science.

Didn't much like Iron On but the other three bands rokt.

And I made a new friend... the kind of new friend you're proud of... one that has a mutual respect for you and likes a little bit of silliness and will dance with you and give you hugs. One who's around my age and seems to be in a similar situation to me. I like making new friends a whole bunch!

And we were so trawling for boys... dirty slappers.

ah ha ha ha.

Got home at 4am after dancing away several hours at the troubador... great venue."

that's it! I'M OUT OF THE GANG!!

After the very unusual week I've had I may have well decided that I'm going to throw myself out of the gang and become a citizen of the world...

I had an anxiety attack on monday... told you i was having murmurs in there!! It feels like someone has wrapped a string around your heart and is giving it a tug periodically...

It was triggered by someone where i work speaking to me in a certain way... on top of having lots of 4 day weeks (cramming more work into shorter periods of time), interruptions because of a computer upgrade and various other things... having someone you work with speak down to you like you're the help or a piece of shit is disgraceful. I just want to go to work and do my job.

Anyhoo, so after this feeling not going away for a day and a half i was talked into going home... i then saw a doctor who confirmed anxiety attack... gave me some valium and asked me to come back in a week-ish... so I had 2 1/2 days off total...

I found it really frustrating because I thought how dare I let someone else work me up like that so badly... but then again, they don't have the right to speak to me in such a manner anyways...
I know it's the fact that they are miserable in their life. I wish they'd frock off but at this stage it doesn't look like it. At least it's been brought to the attention of our management. I mean it's a litle like bullying really, and if it happens again i'll make an official written complaint...

so anyhoo, i have decided i think that i want to become a citizen of the world no doubt. go and help out doing volunteering in some places and exploring...

more on this later.

a long time between taylor-mades...

which is a fine, fine thing... must be more than two months now since i bought a packet of cigarettes. I rock tenthousand.

Also a long time between posts and it seems like a long time since the world slowed down...

Olson asked me the other day what i'd been doing for the last five weeks... i thought ... hmm... what have i been doing?

when in reality i have done some way fun and crazy things indeedily doodily.

including painting 3 walls of the study, getting what i'm calling "heart murmurs" because of work, becoming more aquainted with Jasper which i've really enjoyed, and had loads of decent conversation... yelled "YOURE GORGEOUS" at the last episode of THE BIGGEST LOSER and bought some old department of foreign affairs INTERROGATION CHAIRS... well more like waiting room chairs.. but INTERROGATION CHAIRS sounds way more exciting and fun filled...

Oh and the PRODUCERS finally came out on DVD. I've been hanging for it and the FAMILY STONE to come out. I'll get the FAMILY STONE next week for sure. i heart the producers indeed. how classic mel brooks, it makes me want to go rent BLAZING SADDLES cos I don't reckon I've seen it in at least ten years...
