The future is quite different to the present

End of the week and uni will be over. Already started to plan what to do in my massive 7 weeks off!!! Think I'll start with a sleep, hella. Too exciting. Not much sleep though as I have much to do... oohhh mysterious.

Love Jungle - 08/06

Another boring arse dinner post!

Food - 09/06

Did nuthin today. Slept. Stopped sleeping. Threw myself about the house whilst eating toast and drinkin coffee. Watched 'Sunshine Cleaning' (alright). Worked on my essay throughout the day with somewhat success. Searched the Internet for things to sew that I never will. Highly productive day really.

Can you tell my trend with dinner? All the crap in the fridge mixed with pasta. I do eat meat, I actually had a mini steak to go in this but it somehow fell into my mouth whilst cooking the pasta. And... someone *stole* my mushroom! *shakes fist.

Look up

Uni sucks. At least I have a desk on which to pile my crap. Hunched over my comp churning out essays has meant my back is killing. I stretch and look up. Goodness I have a lot of shit on my wall and my ceiling is quite high.


Inspiration? - 06/06

Have many things stuck above my desk to look at whilst procrastinating. Photos of people, fave photos I've taken, general crap like badges. It all helps to break the monotony

Dinner tasted like cat. I have never tasted cat. This tasted like the smell of wet cat *gag*.

blergh - 07/06

And... I have another one cause I was tight arse and bought in bulk. Maybe one of my flatmates will trade. Or I could swing a refund at the shops. Mmmmm, cat.

pew pew pew*

Manning Bar at Syd Uni for John Steel Singers and Dappled Cities.

John Steel Singers - 05/-06

Much awesome hair amongst The John Steel Singers. I saw them a few weeks ago at OAF with Philly Jays which was why I wanted to go to tonights gig. Great live.

Mainly went for JSS but it was Dappled Cities who were headlining. I had only really heard their Grandance CD and saw them at the Aust Day concert in The Rocks which was just before they were to go overseas for awhile. So, this was there return home/Zounds tour.

The super happy lead (or joint lead) singer had a pretty cool shirt on, until I saw the keyboard guy. He had a shirt with a Pomeranian on it!

They had a laser show which pleased the whacked out uni kids. Guy standing next to me was 'freakin out'. Rubbing his eyes and eating the air. Nut. 






Really liked this gig, can't believe it was over so quick. Highly recommended. Both will be playing Beach Road Hotel in Bondi on June 25th... get some! The warm-up peeps made me a little sleepy. Needed a bit more enthusiasm from them, nice voices and music but were that new breed of timid women bands which I don't really enjoy. Man up!

EDIT: in all my excitment at the possibility of seeing these two bands together I read the venues wrong. Yikes! I know my word can be taken as gospel at time but occasionally... rarely I do get it wrong. You *can* see them on the 25th of June if you are in Bryon Bay at the Beach Hotel. Not to be confused with the Beach Road Hotel in Bondi... somewhat like I did.

Cons aren't exactly grip-tastic

In the city tonight to watch 'Exit Through The Gift Shop'. Hilarious. Great film. Really well made and an interesting story. It was not so much about Banksy as about this guy that followed him and other street artist around whilst filming. Banksy is a pretty funny guy. I'll be buying it when it comes out in the shops.

Unexpected rain - 02/06

I went everywhere for you, I even did my hair for you

Eurovision party on Sunday night. Called Ma for advice on the Butterfly Cupcakes I was going to take, inject a bit of Australiana into a European night. She told me the winner... thanks Ma. I made my outfit, because thats how I roll. I decided to go as a group and had a few ideas but it all depended on what I could by and alter.

Not a passenger on the Mayflower - 30/05

I went as a member of the opening act of the 1982 Eurovision song contest... Portugal's Doce with their disco hit 'Bem-Bom'. Couldn't find a sparkly cowboy suit so it was more of a homage.

Doce!

Uni, sometimes I want to kneecap you. I like the documentation side of this blog except when I look back at all the boring ass uni shit. I literally did not do much else on Monday. Here is 40 000 windows and tabs open for my criminology essay which is on Medicalisation, I'll be focusing on Eugenics and sterilisation. What a bunch of crazy ass people they are. One website compared sterilising a 'deranged' woman to forcing a child into school, they will both be grateful in the end. We need to stop these people from hanging about in doorways mumbling to themselves, that is from the website. The definition of who is actually 'deranged' is never stated. I'd link to it but I don't really want anymore promotion for that crap. They don't even bullshit factual evidence. Quoting 'Newspeak' from "1984" as a kind of back up to the claim of doing this for future generations.
Anyways...

Also have open there Band of Horses Myspace page, gave that a few rounds, there are some comments down the bottom which have music on them, so turn them off first . A list of dodgy movies to buy at JB whilst on sale.

Quite the multi-tasker - 31/05

Driving over the Gladesville Bridge after a late one at uni and I decided to see how to get onto the bridge for my sunrise. In the direct middle of the photo is the Harbour Bridge and of course to the left city and so on.

Ahhh, lights - 01/06

I ran up there and ran back... yep. Pri-tay cool I am. Decided to take a few photos on the fly.

Gladesville Bridge

They look like balloons or stick figures on their side.

I have had the winning song in my head constantly.
