yesterday i bought a rug... that was my day... how cool is that...??

oh i went looking for couches but there were no cool ones so i gave up and bought heaps of foody things instead and went home and sat in front of the PS2 for several hours... several indeed!!

kuffaw, kuffaw!!

For anyone who agonises over those pathetic things known as 'beauty magazines'.... skin deep my friends, skin deep....

oh my god! get me off this rollercoaster!!

seriously, working 2 days a week is the best thing I could have ever asked for / come up with in my brain!

this week i've seen Justin Hamilton, Red Monika, MKB and the New Pollutants as well as some fine acoustic work by Kierans little bro (hey i forget what their group is called, will find out but they were sweet)... i also have just about finished setting up my new place, apart from a couch it's pretty damned fine if you ask me. SPACE, SPACE, SPACE!! *swoon*

...and MERRY OLE ENGAGEMENT to HEIDI and WARWICK... evidently the NICEST people in Adelaide!! We love youse guys!! xxoo (about fekkin' time too i sez... and there's more peppermint slice where that came from)

and *licks* to the most FAMOUS person in Adelaide for introducing me to Chili Coffee. rock. ;)

*waving to helen over at http://queenofswords.blogspot.com*

i barely watched television all week... cept last night when i cranked some south park before going out... maybe it's cos i dont have a couch... maybe it's cos i prefer music, maybe it's because i've been cleaning... maybe it's because unless it's Andrew Denton's "Enough Rope" it's not worth watching....

what else?? errr, samosas are really tasty, and i need new slippers... yes... forgot how cold the old wooden floor can be in the morning.

MY HOUSE RRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!
arrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh!

*smiling from head to toe*

ugh! moving house HURTS me!! owwwwwwwwwwwwwwww my freakin' pancreas!

anyhoo, yes am all moved in, now just have to unpack and "feng shui" myself into a more sane living environment....!! now whether or not i believe in such things as this i do not know, however there is some comfort in liking your surroundings... blah blah blah....
cept my hot water taps in the shower and bath dont seem to produce hot water, yes that IS a problem... oh well, that's what landlords are for... fixing stuff!

tomorrow is my last day of work before i go back to part time and become a bum... yes, but all is not lost my friends, i vow to still take over the world and become president of it or something... then Nate can rip down the constitution of mine... ooh err, check you out!

i am so very very weary... but all is happy and well and peachy keen.....

ok, i think i've lost it!

hi kids ...and a big HOI HOI to Nate who I'm sure is reading my banter all the way from Washington.... i just met him yesterday, anyways...

today i quit my job, because I hate it and isn't that a good enough reason??! In fact, my senior also quit, so it was kind of a funny day...
I haven't put it in writing, but that's actually what I'm doing on the computer right now!!

For anyone who cares, I'm going back to two days a week at my old animation job and will be doing lots of volunteering, bike riding, cooking, reading and poetry in the next three months, basically doing a little 'soul searching' and finding out what I think I'm capable of in the next 20 years of my life...

hmm. interesting.
see, according to shaggy shaz i was due for an existential crisis this year because I'm turning 25...

I AM THE BIGGEST GENIUS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD....
okay so that's debate-abby but I sure am happy with what I came up with in the last 24 hours...
*swoon*

errr, seems greater union is having a month or so of old movies screening at $8/pop. i think if you look at www.greaterunion.com.au you will find some info. that's pretty cool. i want to go see 'Some Like it Hot' this week if anyone is interested!!... though I should probably save my pennies....

Ho-hum.... It's become pretty evident to me recently that i'm such a goddamned fringe dweller!! This meaning of course that I mingle around the edges of many different social groups... because I don't quite belong in any one in particular...

I like too much stuff see, and I can't focus on one thing for very long. Maybe i've got ADD?? (is that what it's called?)

So... Friday we saw Warwick Ing and Barcode and Subwoofer at the Austral... in between running to the Jade Monkey, Greed (hehe, it was a laugh, there were people from big brother faggin' on... quite funny really), Rhino, back to the Austral and the Cranker (just to proove how truly classy we can be in the wee hours of Saturday morning).

Props to Eva for being my running around buddy!!

Saturday I dropped in at a party for an hour and then went to Minke to catch half-sets of the New Pollutants and Brown Hornet... yes yes, that band that Dylan Lewis is in :).... I couldn't quite get if he was trying to "scat" or rhyme or what... but he's a decent harp player... still not as good as garrett dutton (G LOVE), but no-one is!!.... they were perdy good... chicks with horns, that's what I like to see!
VOTE MORE CHICKS WITH HORNS! (now i'm not talking about coming out of your head, I'm talking about trumpets, saxamaphones etc etc etc)...

I'll be moving much closer to the city (hopefully) by the end of the month and probably changing jobs too, as well as hopefully owning an investment property (at least by the end of the year or before the fringe begins in March is the realistic goal)...
somewhere like glenunga/fullarton/norwood/perhaps kensington kind of area, cos seriously it's the only place that has ever truly felt like my home... *swoon to the "House of Moore"*

Cool new albums I was listening to yesterday at radio:
Trey - Tapestry Tunes (Aussie chick hiphop)
Bonobo - Dial M for Monkey (Ninja Tunes label, need I say more)

yibbeda, yibbeda...
that's all folks....

some days are funny y'know... you work 10 1/2 hours and still have energy to sit through a few hours of fine comedy stylings...
RHINO ROOM COMEDY ROCKS... check it out on Wednesday nights from about 8:30pm... usually around $6 entry unless there is a special international artist or something like that!!
Went there last night when Jason Chong was hosting (in fine form by the way), Trav Nash featuring and Craig Egan being the kid who hated damper.... and having anything near his ass it seems... hehe. props to Ben Darso, Jarrod Fitch, Tim Ross (i think that's his name, first time on stage though and not bad at all), Neil O'Loughlin, Steven J Whitely, err, i'm sure there was someone else... sorry!! i worked 10 1/2 hours, I can't remember the whole night....
they tell me there is a website now... it's www.adelaidecomedy.20megsfree.com
I had a looksey and there are many silly pictures up there... teehee.
