My weekend was so intensely geeky. I bought a lot of CDs (Springsteen, Dylan, They Might Be Giants, Joy Division, Eno) and watched a lot of DVDs (Shattered Glass, Cold Mountain, Love Actually, The Night We Called It A Day, American Splendor, the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and 28 Days Later).

Also saw Shrek 2 with my dad which wasn't that good until...

Thanks to the magic of phone banking confusing the shit out of me (thanks technology), my account will lapse in a couple of days. I'll be back quite soon, believe that! smile

- Alex and I got a free two course lunch and a nice bottle of pinot noir at the Tilbury. Loved it. Post-lunch we drank a lot.
- Met TheFuckOffKid (aka Michael) who is a deadset top bloke, as we say in Australia due to our being Australian.
- NSW won the Origin.

I've been rockin' the flu for a while now. Seems it's finally leaving. Which is good, because I'm up for some fun.

I'm interviewing TISM next week before their 2nd Sydney gig. Fuck, these guys have been my on/off favourite band since I was 12! Ah well, it'll be good fun.

Also going to have a free boozy lunch at the apparently very good restaurant...

A friend asked me to compile a list of albums she should buy this week. So I did. And here is that list. It's quite short, but inevitably I'll make more lists later because I am a terrible nerd.

Albums You Should Totally Own Because They're Nuts!

- Tim Buckley - Greetings From LA. Tim is the father of Jeff Buckley. Tim died of a...

Friday was nuts. Went to Flinders Bar - which is quite cool-looking, all deep purples - with Flora. Heaps of 'industry people' - about 200 in a tiny room - getting loaded on free alcohol. Fuck, I had no choice but to join them. Free booze was only on for a couple of hours so I hit it far too hard. Flora had a couple...

Bought Nebraska by Springsteen. Not a fan of the Boss but Nebraska is one of the best albums of all time.

Bloody champagne. Fuck.

Ha ha...I love the slang other countries use...Because of reading that as "Bloody (damned) champagne" I read it as "Bloody (filled with human blood) champagne"...

Gah, I'm so American, shoot me... blackeyed

How did Free Beer Friday go?

Speaking of free drinks, I'll be going to a bar opening this Friday to get terribly drunk on free piss. Christ, this writing caper ain't all bad after all.

Saw the Soledad Brothers on Sunday. Little bit uninteresting unfortunately; think the Black Keys without the soul and sexiness. The music was too loud and tuneless - the blues don't need to be turned up ta'...

I have no money, two assignments due and two exams coming up. I remember now why I dislike uni. If only I could live on the high seas, scoring booty from hapless fishermen.

Speaking of fishermen (nice segue), I watched the Shipping News with Kevin Spacey and Julianne Moore this morning. Moore is an absolute fuckin' tiger. And man, Spacey is nuts. Of course, this...

Well, if you ever visit the US, the drunken revelry is on me. Although the "get free beer" trick works for me too if you can pull it off. I am listening to the Stereophonics...cool stuff...
holliday:
Hell yeah! There's nothing better than free beer! Unless...you're talking free whiskey, heh heh. But that's just my humble addiction, I mean...opinion. Yeah, that's what I meant.

I loved the movie The Shipping News. It kinda made me want to run off into the small town wilds of Canada...but then, could I get a smoothie at 2am? Nah, better stay in NYC.
