thats ludicrous.
I bought GTA: San Andreas last Friday, and I've been nerding the fuck out since. I haven't ever bought a PS2 game before - usually I score 'em free - but it was so worth forking out $100 for GTA. Best game ever? Yep.
I should really get out of the house though. This nerdiness will no doubt drive me batty.

I wrote a 39-page report on Michael Hutchence once for school. I still wasn't Michael Hutchenced-out after all that. I love him THAT much.
A nice weekend.
Saw one of my favourite bands, and one of the best live bands in Australia, TISM play one of their best shows ever on Friday.
Saturday was spent relaxing and then briefly drinking in the city. I hadn't had a beer for about two weeks, and the hot weather demanded I get back into that sweet game.
Sunday involved a Christmas gathering...

Seriously, if I ever run a business, remind me to make sure that my workers don't have a really hard time just getting paid what they deserve.
Here's a tip for those who already run an business: if someone has done work for you and as such you owe them cash, pay them the fucking cash. And not at your leisure. Pay them when you're...

That sum of money can pay off a few bills...I'd be pissed too! Hope you get it.
dem_z:
Yes. People who ask someone to do something, tell them they'll get paid for it, watch it being done, and then don't pay up; they're arseholes.
There needs to be a website of people who pay late or something.

I've done fuck all lately. Lack of cash plus family commitments and lack of fun things to do has meant 4 days of tedium, interspersed with writing, walks, guitar-playing and TV-watching.
This weekend will be fun though. TISM on Friday! Awesome! Drinking on Saturday perhaps? Rock!

Here's an unexciting story about why little-known Australian band Karma County are responsible for the best album of all time:
There is only one album that is so inextricably tied to my memories that it would be difficult for me to imagine my experiences without it. Last Stop Heavenly Heights is that album. Listening to it instantly...

Dude!
The lack of internet access at the new pad has seen me not able to visit the site til now. Why now? Cause I'm fucking in Hong Kong, which is perhaps the most kick-arse city in the world. Like, we thought the factory was cool. Today I went on a hike through the New Territories outside the city, and in the middle of nowhere came across a small, semi-abandoned village, poluated solely by old women, because theit husbands all either died in the war or went to get a job and never earned enough money. Just old women and dogs. And half-broken houses and graves of old women. Silent as anything. Eerie as. I sincerely hope I stumble into a million dollars so I can stay here for ages. An incredible place.
Sorry that that had nothing to do with your post. I'm just excited to a) be back on the site and b) be in Hong Kong.
Rock/Roll or both on.

After the Australian and US elections, it's clearly time for my mate Geoff and I to have a justifiably emo chat about the current state of affairs:
Geoff says:
there is such a division occurring everywhere, in america, in australia, i don't know about elsewhere but conservative governments are not governing a majority, they're governing a democracy that no longer has any meaning

It isn't democracy that has failed us. The American people didn't vote Bush in, the American voters did. Democracy in the US is not yet substantive enough to maintain itself in a vital form. We need a revolution badly...

The state final of the World Battle Of The Bands was on Wednesday night. All four of the bands were fucking brilliant, but in the end only two could go through to the national final: if you see a poster for NRNR or Bagster around, check 'em out, 'cause they're so hot right now.
