It's probably about time to update this. The weekend turned out to be a little different than expected. The Friday night Vines/Youth Group/Red Riders show was cancelled on Friday morning, unfortunately. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would have been more than happy to still seen Youth Group & Red Riders play, but it wasn't too be.
I also got a call on Friday with news of a job offer for the Australian newspaper - which I promptly took. I'm biding my time, waiting to give my notice at my current job, though - as I'm owed about $3K (which should just, at this rate, should just bring my credit card balance back to zero after a few weeks of unrestrained spending - with hopefully enough left over for an Ipod) - and I'm fairly certain I can kiss that money goodbye if I quit before it's paid.
Here's a partial list of my purchases over the internet in the past week

In my dotage, I'm getting domesticated. Me and the girl's big recent purchase was a table.
I thought of you when I was reading about all the stuff with the Vines. Iain Shedden (of your new employer The Australian, congrats btw) has been writing a lot about them and the fallout from the Annandale gig. They really sound like they're imploding. Pretty sad.
Good luck on the inner-Sydney accommodation front.
