It's Sunday afternoon and I'm too lazy to write anything, so here are some great songs from 2006:
Jay-Z: The Prelude from Kingdom Come.
The Roots: Here I Come (Feat. Dice Raw & Malik B.) from Game Theory.
Chris Whitley & Jeff Lang: When I Paint My Masterpiece from Dislocation Blues.
Bruce Springsteen: Erie Canal from We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions...

Interested in a jam for a couple of hours this Saturday arvo? Just TFOK and me so far.

Kitty Pride in X-Men 3 means Ellen Page in skin tight leather which means a whole boat load of sea men just broke my lounge...
I'm all hot and sunburnt. Not surprising, really. I forgot about the sun while watching the Tigers / Dragons match down at Oki stadium this arvo, and got lobsterised sitting on the hill. I was downing schooies during the match too, which always seems to make me burn quicker. (Is there a scientific reason for that? Do the dehydrating effects of alcohol lead to a...

I forgot to ask, was that SMS about Rod Stewart from you? I couldn't tell who it was from, and I never got around to asking.
SG Sydney has been quiet lately. We need to do karaoke, or the Cross, or something, sometime, I'm sure of it.

Want it so badly, so, so very badly. The track I posted in my journal is the only one I have heard and it's wonderful. Let me know what you think of it when you get to hear it.
I've spent this morning putting together an Ikea chair, a couple of floor lamps and a television cabinet. Cor blimey, I'm rooted. Who would have thought lining up a few holes and whacking in a few screws would be so labour-intensive? Curse you Ikea, for your only vaguely helpful instruction booklets and miniature allen keys.
It's not just the furniture either. Yesterday I went into...

When do Death Cab tour Brisbane?
I adore Ikea. My best friend and I used to hang out in Officeworks on the Gold Coast during our leave afternoons after high school (we were both boarders, but still... I'm pretty sure we would have hung out there anyway). It was just so fun. I don't know why we were so attracted to the chairs and desks and computer desks and chairs and desks and, well, more desks, but we just were. And Ikea is like a more lush environment for the Officeworks' lover... dense tropical climes surrounded by white and black and bold colours and mirrors and spartan surrounds... Ah yes, I can spend days. It is seriously as tiring as going to Dreamworld, however. Actually, it's a lot like Dreamworld. Without the rides. And the whole tiger thing. And the alcohol. So actually not really anything like Dreamworld at all.

If I ever need a ball I usually will steal one from a school kid. Following that it seems that merely shoving it up your ass (the ball, not the kid) doesn't really get it back to where it needs to be.
There were kids at the chinese restaurant with karaoke last night. They kept singing the same two songs over and over again; I yelled.
Milkwood; 9130 4100. Call and quiz them on prices and stuff. They'll obviously try and upsell everything but if you have the time and bother go check it out.

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed with the world cup as a whole...
Maybe I'm some sort of sore loser...but after the US got fucked by the referees so bad (not that we would have gone on very far anyway, but i mean, give the bitches a CHANCE)...I lost a lot of my excitement.
Yesterday's final was the only other game I've watched...and I gotta say...that idiot just confirmed my sincere disappointment. (good thing i was rooting for italy!)

Too bad he's retiring. He's got that move down cold.
Point One: i am currently in Windang, where it is extremely cold. Luckily, I have very hot magic beans to save me from Jack Frost's icy southside terrors. (You put the beans in the microwave and they come out sizzling hot and completely unedible).
Point Two: I saw Tim Freedman this evening, and it was very enjoyable. He performed at the Yallah Roadhouse (which is...

Loves the nerdiness of basketball stats! 
Yay for rain - it's raining up here too. Just makes me want to be snuggled up in bed or prancing around uncaring in the rain rather than stuck in my office working away. Or looking at SG, whichever is the most accurate!!

I kinda like it there, it makes you relax and spend some down time. It's a nice contrast to the hustle and bustle that is sydney.
And damn wasn't that a great match! I'm so glad i stayed up to watch it!

ha, it was hockey for me. now that i recall, there were these yearly books that you could fill up with photo stickers, sold separately in packages at ridiculous prices. you'd always get an ulf samuelsson in like every pack. i filled these books up completely for four straight years.
Haha! Got my fucking license! Wooo! I pretty much rule!

O.K. That was just funny I wasn't saying Bush is a great president, just people give him more credit than he deserves.

Do you have to be 21 to drive there? Kids can get their license at 16 in the States. Just wondering if I'll have to do all of the driving.
I love you, Adventure Dog. You are the most adventurous dog in the world, and you're smaller than a soccer ball. When you jump up steps, it's cute. When you bite things, it's cute. When you get trapped in the garden, it's cute. If cuteness killed humans, you would cause an apocalypse.

Hi.
I'm trying to learn all I can about Australia by asking Australlians stuff. What is St. Kilda? Where are the best beaches?

yes we are! would be good to see you there 
As per usual, I've been going new music bonkers.
Maybe I missed the boat on Kanye West. At the very least, I underestimated the very serious awesomeness of Heard 'Em Say feat. Adam Levine (who has a beautiful voice, but too often sings appalling lyrics). And West samples Curtis Mayfield's Move On Up and Gil Scott-Heron's Home Is Where The Hatred Is so that gives...

yep, afraid so. The least you could do is go and paint what ever you can find a birght purple In the hopes that would confuse the terrorists. Hell, it is worth a shot.

Sunday sounds good, and no rehearsal Monday morning so I can sleep in
PS- If I manage to channel this thing called 'discipline' I've heard so much about and get a script for you by Sunday you must promise to have a red pen waiting
I met some guys last year that had worked on that ABC show Magic Mountain building all the puppets and stuff. I laughed my ass off hearing that because they were incredibly spaced out the majority of the time
In an effort to recapture my youth (and have great material to absorb during 'trips') I am seriously considering purchasing some Dora the Explorer DVDs. If nothing else I can say I'm planning for parenthood.
I'm gonna call the kid Panopticon...
