Joy Division - easily one of my top 5 alltime favorites 
Interpol reminds me of them to a certain degree.
I still haven't seen 24 hr party people! Thanks for reminding me. I'm going over to Net Flix and add it to my queue.

We had a great time.....Did the interview go good?
We had a great time.....Did the interview go good? I got my haircut yesterday. On a whim. I luv my hair. it takes about 5 mins for them to cut it. They feel guilty charging me so i normally get a discount. The girl took this one step further yesterday by offering me a free shampoo after she cut it. How nice is it to have your hair washed for you! Must do that...

Whilst waiting for my ancient connection to load i can stare at a picture of park city utah in the pristine beauty of a new snowfall. it seems we can live our life in the past present or the future. i tend to live 80% of my life in the future and i think this is wrong. i am forever waiting for 'the next thing...

thats an interesting journal entry.. i know what you mean about the always looking forward thing, i think sometimes it happens because you seem to have a positive personality.. atleast thats how it works in my case, i tend to keep pushing and racing forward dragging people into the future with me.. i wish the future was here now, but then it would be the present and i'de still be looking for a future and it just gets really confusing after that.. stuck in a loop..
Well the Bowie festival continues unabated.
On Monday I went and purchased the Reality CD with bonus DVD (on special mind you at HMV for $24.95).
I am rediscovering Heathen which i initally rejected as an average recording and now has come alive.
I am making a mix tape for a guy at work who is from the UK and left all his Bowie vinyl...

Must have been a quiet day - What month was it? Usually there's a few hundred people there...more on weekends... The logs are always moved around from the tide - and by people....
I know Melbourne's a wet city, but it rarely rains there like it just rained here!
